:thumbsup: My bad. He was blond.

Francis Bacon was so wrong when he said "knowledge is power", in today's pc and dumb people friendly workplace, ignorance is power. The less you know, the more people bend over backwards trying to explain things to you. More stress you inflict on other people, the stronger your power over them. I was unaware of this until a few years ago, until my spiritual guru revealed this truth to me and opened the gateway to eternal happiness. This was circa 2003. A new CIO had been appointed. Beefy bloke from Newzealand and blond too. He decided our company was getting stale and needed fresh blood. He brought in a lot of people who had absolutely no background in IT or had any previous experience in our business domain. All of them as project managers and senior business analysts. And the fun started. One day my boss called me in and said "Ghalib you going to help Tiffany with her new project. Show her the ropes. If the project fails I will hold you responsible". Lady in question was a blonde from Germany and a cat lover to boot. I consulted by spiritual guru "Oh wise one! This woman is going to torture me to death. What do I do". The wise one said "Man, play dumb". So I started off saying things like "What's XML?" at meetings. "You haven't heard of XML?" "Nope! never heard of it". Score me = 1, cat lover = 0. Predictably, the project collapsed before much money could be spent on it. But, I was on to a good thing. I perfected this to a fine art. I did so well at it that I was soon promoted. I have often found solutions to perplexing problems in CP, so I love you guys and would like to share this valuable secret with you :- "when nothing works, play dumb" :cool:

So you are saying that, while the government is screwing us, we should be screwing each other?

The problem is, not enough people realize they are being screwed by the government :)

what lies at the root of the economic crisis is the burst housing bubble. there is simply more houses than there are people. a simple supply and demand problem. so, what you need to do is make more people. the slogan "make love not war" makes a lot of sense in these troubled times :-\ P.S. and please don't forget to vote for the hockey mom :-D

Nothing sensational. I just didn't want to some silly joke to be misinterpreted.

Yes. I think our Telecomm/IS provider has some kind of monitoring software running. Sometimes you see sites being blocked a few minutes after you have viewed a page. Feelings are a bit high at this time due to the cartoon incident.

That's must be some kind of default setting. Some of the things you guys say here spook me real bad. I think I should stop visiting the soap box.

You got me wrong. I don't live in the west like you do. Got to be careful.

Thanks. But I think I better delete it. I don't want to take any chances. Or am I getting paranoid ?

First, I'm from Germany. I want to relativate your statement, not because I want to play down the third reich but to answer your question.

Sorry for bringing this up. :rose: Just pointing out that intolerance does not always come with a brown (or black) skin. There were and there are other varieties.

Exactly!

Yes, and from 1939 to 1945 the remainder of the west stood up and destroyed the Third Reich. It is obviously long past time to do precisely the same thing for Sharia.

AFAIK there is no Sharia in Indonesia, Turkey, Syria (Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population). And partial sharia in most other Muslim countries. Full sharia exists only in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan and Libya. India uses sharia for matters related to Muslim personal laws.

Worst-case scenario: Sharia, circa 2040; semi-Sharia, a lot sooner--and we're already seeing a drift in that direction.

From 1933 to 1945, most of Europe was under the Third Reich. They killed people for being gay. They killed people for being a leftist. They killed people for being a liberal. Heck, they even killed you for not being blonde. Final toll 6 to 8 million. Could Sharia be a lot worse ?
