Anyone think its ironic that this disaster occurred less than a year
after President Bush was re-elected, and it targeted the portion of the
country where a majority voted for him?

Anyone think it is God punishing NO for its 'sinful ways'?

Anyone think that Al Quaeda is thinking these thoughts?

Again, I don't agree with them (because I'm not a believer, I think
this was just bad luck), but for those who do believe, anyone think
there is a correlation?

Once again RayRay you show yourself to be cut from the same k00k cloth
as JoJo Bartlo

9:20 on a Thursday night...why aren't you at a bar picking up Stephanie
Abrahms instead of this verbal diarhhea ?

Ray Jr,

Over the years and in spite of my best efforts, I haven't been able to
^notice that you/ve made a _lot_ of idiotic posts @ NeWx, but this one most
certainly stands head 'n sholders above all the rest. You are to be
congraDulated!

BTW, a vast minority of people in Thailand are Muslims.

This will no doubt come as a surprise to the people in Thailand.

G'day Charlie,

What makes you think most Thais are Muslims?

Cheers, Phred.

Heavily Democrat New Orleans? Shirley you jest!* There are very few
Republicans in public housing...

Al Qaeda is mostly just thinking about where it will get its next date.
Or goat. Or both.

No.

That would be a coincidence, not irony.

Nope.

I had misread it as "vast majority." Sloppy reading on my part. I
don't have any idea what the words "vast minority" might mean.

Yeah. Had me wondering too. I suspect he meant a minority so small as
to be inconsequential. (And I had to read it twice before I got it
too, so you're not alone -- but I couldn't resist the dig. ;-)

Cheers, Phred.

I am BOFH. Resistance is futile. Your network will be assimilated.

Probably due to the close proximity to Malaysia.

Probably because she's married?

What I heard. Dunno if it's true.
