Ekios said:Simple answer : I have no clue about that since I didn't write the text.
Ekios said:
I have been asked to creat a printable photoshop document while using a funny text about religion. Period.
Will ask that tomorrow morning. She will get pissed as I am now. That is one thing for sure.Do you know who did ?
You do realize that before that "intervention" here I didn't have a single idea about the origin, or to say the original way of that (still) funny text ?So who changed it wand why Ekios ? (...)

Hey give me a minute to answer ! I'm not an english native ! :)Guardian said:Ekios said:

So you're saying that this is all you can see?
Ekios said:Now I have to admit one thing, even If "I" won't see the devil in every corner, you may have a major point on a more global aspect of this. I must keep myself as honest as possible and recognize that you started in me a "thinking" about that kind of ways to pursue some "messages on the streets."

I agree on that.Guardian said:"Programming" is found everywhere hon, .... TV, movies, clothing, billboards, on-line, games, bathroom walls, EVERYWHERE.
What do they have, the Muslims ? If you can enlight me on that part. Especially the Palestinian, they don't have anything left, and the others, I wonder what kind of resources they have to be so interesting on a mass scale (petrol ain't on the list since it is largely provided) **I don't know how to explain myself more clearly with my english, I mean that the petrol is pumped and distributed, it is like a freely distributed product**Guardian said:You're not supposed to notice it, it's designed to seep into your subconscious without you ever becoming aware of it's devastating effect on the targeted people...most often indigenous populations sitting on top of natural resources.
Once they're targeted for extermination because they have something the Elite want, they are presented to the masses as "threats" in a well organized program of dehumanization.
Yes indeed but "here" this wasn't about that. I think that's the thing that bothers me the most to say it politely : I posted that to give some smile to people, not to get back to argue about religions & co ..Guardian said:Once you learn to recognize the practice, you too will see "the devil" everywhere, frequently in his most popular form... "fear"

Maybe they are useful as a visible enemy for the North masses.

Predominately oil, but some Muslim countries under assault also have gold, diamonds, precious metals, etc.Ekios said:What do they have, the Muslims ?

"Hon" is short for "honey" which is a friendly term used mostly in the Southern part of the US. Anyone can be a "hon" male or female...but the term is seldom used by men when addressing other men (unless they're gay). The term is often used casually by females to address strangers of either sex ie: "Hon, what time is it?" = "Hey nice person I don't know, what time is it?"1) what does it mean "hon" ??
Sleep well :)2) I, my dear friend, i'm going to sleep
Guardian said:Ekios said:AAAAAAAH I hoped someone would said that, because in fact, THIS IS from that famous Tshirt ;)
No, it's not. The famous t-shirt (which does actually have a fan following) states:
"Islam: If sh!t happens, it is the will of Allah"

"Here's a closer look at the very 'down-to-earth' descriptions of the various religions. This shirt gives the wearer rock-solid international credibility, and it even has a cult following in County Durham, England!"
Someone sent me the text and asked me to create a photoshop document so he could print it on some new t shirts :D
So to recap, you're being asked to help plagiarize a famous t-shirt, and change it slightly to reflect a distinct prejudice against Islam by presenting it as a threat to others?
He wouldn't probably liked it indeed, the most probable reaction would be to say "yeah that's what Chia or Sunnit does, not us" depending of his own orientation.

Ekios said:So here we are, talked to her a minute ago :
Got the text from her brother a while ago, it was on a shirt coming or from the 80' or from the 90', after reading that post she agreed the fact that discretely the Muslim sentence was the only aggressive description one.
I asked her about how a Palestinian would react while reading that shirt and indeed :
He wouldn't probably liked it indeed, the most probable reaction would be to say "yeah that's what Chia or Sunnit does, not us" depending of his own orientation.
Now careful, more is to come she had to left in a hurry, but basically : "Yes, you guys are right". (and yes It hurts my back to have been got like a rookie // m'être fait avoir comme un débutant)
I hope I can get her here, since anyway i'm giving her material from here since a month now.
Oh well this topic may become funny finally :D
Shane, lets say that I have more than one feet in the middle east, in the Arabic & the Muslim world and the mess created around them. So "yes" I am "deeply" familiar with this even if i'm born in the north east of France and grew up peacefully sheltered from all of this.Shane said:Ekios, I'm a bit unclear on why you needed to check with someone to see if this would be offensive or not. Are you familiar with how terrorism has been manufactured by the US, Israel, and the UK and have pinned it on Muslims? .
Yes, that is why I thanked the others a few answer before. I got it "after". Now in the same way I have a strong temper that comes from very far when it is about religions. I can't help it, when I see what have been done under their names, and the fact that it keeps going "just like that" ... Argh ...Shane said:Also, the point really isn't about proving you wrong or trying to be right. So no need to feel bad. It's more about networking to see things more objectively.

Footprints said:One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it. "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But, I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
