I wondered about that. I assumed you were letting us know how much you had enjoyed the apeshit liberal nazi feeding frenzy on "Zomg teh right wing extremists", but that it's no fun now that your own ilk is facing a similar mob and the same opportunistically inflammatory media asshats (we all know the average yob can't tell the difference between one kind of brownish person and another). Thank you for taking the time to make that correction.

Indeed they were. If that's a reference to my earlier post, the comment is still valid. |
:pjp: :P |
What?

He was making a joke. I know you will now claim to have known this, so the point is moot.

I didn't know he was making a joke, and it still isn't apparent. An earlier post of mine referenced the hijackers, so I thought there was a chance he was making a reference to that (after my post about not convicting the Saudi).

The statement is intended to be casually recognized by your brain as '11 out of 19 of the hijackers were Saudis', but it actually says "11 out of 19 Saudis are hijackers", which is an entirely different thing.
It's brilliant; it concisely demonstrates the deceptively simple and attractive process of forming prejudices. He used it to sarcastically "justify" the detainment and questioning of the nearest Saudi man. I don't mean to pick, I'm just trying to credit dmitchell with one of the more witty comments I've seen in here (assuming he came up with it himself).

At lunch here there was a big "Interfath Service" (to mourn the tragedy of the Boston Marathon bombing) playing all over the TV news channels, with a prayer by some Muslim [RoP] dude, some dude from some weird African religion I've never heard of, some Jewish dude, some dude with a funny hat (Russian Orthodox, perhaps), various Chrisitan dudes (Mitt Romney among them), and of course a grand finale by Chocolate Jesus. They droned (no pun intended) on and on and on... zzzzz.
Chocolate Jesus preached collectivism hard.

Does this mean we are going to lose the precious contributions of Naib?

Yeah, you could be wrong.
I, on the other hand, was right about everything that's been released so far: I speculated that it was a small group (two or three) of home-grown Muslim terrorists, probably local to the Boston area, using backpack bombs of Internet-level sophistication.
I further ventured to guess they'd be university students (probably engineering) from one of the Boston schools, or maybe unemployed techno-yuppies. I haven't heard any information yet to clarify those aspects, but the police started chasing them on the MIT campus. The big shootout happened in Watertown, not far from where I lived for a while in Waltham.
Apparently they were indeed somewhat amateurish. As I said, how quickly this is resolved would depend on whether the perpetrators were stupid enough to allow themselves to be identified from security camera footage (which they were).
This morning, up here near the Canadian border, a DHS helicopter did an unusually low fly-over down the river that's in my back yard. From this I assume there is some concern the remaining suspect has made his way out of the Boston area and might attempt to cross into Canada on foot.
Fortunately, the guy that's still on the loose is the younger, apparently dumber, brother of the two. On the security camera pictures, he wasn't even bothering to wear sunglasses or to turn his cap around to the front.

ok, now we face an outstanding situation here:
obviously BoneKracker is some kind of an oracle, but on the other hand our common sense tend to believe notageeks "jew revenge hitler death" - theory.
then we have a third party, "the juniper view", but he could be wrong. That's weird that he could be wrong, isn't it? I was ready to choose juniper as my leader, but now I don't know.
chchch, so whom should we trust?

that wasn't "the juniper view", its the view of not peddling speculation as fact.
and to be fair it isn't that much of a speculation to determine their type. Pretty much the same type were some of those arrested in the uk like 4years ago (muslim, engineering students...) Uni's have long been the new recruitment ground for home-grown.
