“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
Speaking just for myself, I am busily making a career out of disagreeing with Jafar ... I find myself discovering a 'wealth' of material which makes it all too easy.
The best approach, though, is one I strive for. Namely, the dissection of an argument which I believe doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Either this is possible, or it isn't. If I have material I can call upon to back me, so much the better.
That said, though, and being mindful of what you intend, Jim ... I'd still say that I appreciate Aboutime's position. His is one of motivation which stems from great love of country. I wish to make clear that I have the utmost respect for this .. and I believe we should acknowledge the nobility of that motivation.
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
I understand his frustration or anger, but it's still possible to remain above the fray. I've been reading your posts since you became a member here. I know you're not a card carrying member of Islam. But I think you've generally remained polite/cordial while you remained passionate and steadfast in your beliefs.

Not bathing ? Are you accusing me of being a Muslim?
A great many of them are surrounded by sand with water in very, very short supply. They do not bath regularly. Myself, taking many very nice long hot showers is routine I abide by.
How is the water supply in your neck of the woods?
I trust it is adequate.... or was the water problem on your mind a personal one?---Tyr
