Always Anti-fascist!

Well, probably. Expect some static from the competition, and stay fricking closed on Sundays.Failing to do that got Stringer Bell killed.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I was just informed that Big Boss expects me to work extra hours every day while coworker is on vacation.

And when do you leave?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was just informed that Big Boss expects me to work extra hours every day while coworker is on vacation.

Do they do this to your coworker while you're on vacation? Or are you just lucky?

See, this is the MOST EXCELLENT time to drop your resignation letter on his desk. Seriously.

Isn't there some sort of zen saying, "Expectations are the root of all suffering" or something like that?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi peeps!

So, um, that guy in Afghanistan, wasn't the issue not that he was Christian, but that he converted to Christianity from Islam?

I think the main thing the whole stupid issue illustrates is the problems with using Sharia law (sorry, misspelled) as the law of the land.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes.

That's what I thought the issue was as well, but it still baffles me. I don't know much about Sharia law though. Er, anything, actually. Is the fact that it is the law of the land supposed to make the concept of killing someone who converts his religion more palatable? I don't want to sound culturally chauvanistic or ignorant, but it just seems wronger than a wrong thing to me.

I'm not trying to make it palatable, I just think that the reason even moderates are saying he should be executed is because the law of the land happens to be quite clear on what is done is such circumstances. Personally, I'm good with his seeking asylum in Italy.
