Dear Freeperville

May your income be redistributed among the needy.

May your employers be fired and replaced with Muslims.

May you raise your eyes to the heavens and find them empty.

May your family's political opinions drift slowly and imperceptibly towards the Left.

May you learn that thoughts are not automatically "logical" simply if you think them.

May your enlightenment be eventual, slow and painful.

May your true ignorance be revealed to you moment by moment, piece by piece.

May you learn your own hatred and its true source, yourself.

May you know doubt.

May your dreams rot and sicken in your sight.

May your illusions warp you gradually over time until you can no longer bear them.

May the loathing felt for you the world over pierce your hearts.

May your indifference to the suffering of your fellow human beings melt under the blowlamp of the Truth.

May the core of your beliefs, the lie that all men once believed the world over, but now know that none of us can afford, be crushed slowly until you look to into the eyes of your leaders and see what truly lies there in their souls, darkness only.

May you come to know yourselves as the adolescents you are.

May you become humble, and loved.

8. They are DU's black reflection
Edited on Fri Jul-08-05 04:28 PM by baby_mouse
They are the people who post to a discussion board site called Freerepublic.com. I'd advise against going there, it's basically a site like DU but for the Right Wing. Except they're so ridiculously stupid and evil even most of the Right Wing despise them. They ban posts and posters that are left wing, which is fine, we do the same, but there the symmetry kind of ends.

Since the London attacks their boards have been howling with the evils of Muslims, and they are specifically saying ALL muslims. Hammering in the bigotry and ruining the world for the rst of us... Cheers, guys.

:argh:
:mad:
