I fail to see how any of your descriptions of Muslims are significantly different than what you'd find in most transplanted immigrant cultures. Men sitting around and making demands of women? Have you guys been to an Italian family gathering? I'm in a hotel waiting for a truck to arrive with my stuff. I'm now living in a town of 15,000 people. Yaaaaaaaaaaay.
You can't be taken seriously as an Italian. Sure, you have a name that's more Italian than Eddie spaghetti Monetti, but look the part about as much as Bruce Lee.
Boonstock was so ridiculously crowded, it sucked. 65,000 drunk and/or high people with 1 line up into the camping area , and 1 entrance into the area with the stages means you spent the majority of your time standing shoulder to shoulder in a line with super sweaty drunken idiots. So I drank all the everything, got heatstroke, and came home a night early. Headstones put on a good show though.
Me too, but the show last night was all their biggies, they only played 2 or 3 songs of their new stuff. They closed with Cemetery and the crowd went insane.
Yep! He spit gum out on people 3 times, the first time I saw it I was questioning whether being front row was actually a good thing. Also, I never saw him get a new piece of gum after spitting the last one out.
I was planning on heading back to Vancouver today, but decided to just buy more beer and spend another night at this god forsaken hell hole instead. Northern lights two nights ago, awesome thunder storm last night, we'll see what tonight has in store.
Has everyone on the board only met crazed fanatics? I've had several Muslim friends and once you got past that self hating Ramadan shit, the excessive praying, and Halal chicken they were perfectly normal. They didn't treat women like slaves for their dicks and they weren't afraid of women being in their work environment. I don't know what kind of fresh off the boat fucking weirdos you people are talking about, but none of the Muslims I've met in the United States at all fit these descriptions.
You're right, some are more progressive than others, but there are still way to many who still consider women as the carriers of shame, and therefore must bare the brunt of anything that goes wrong. They also have to abide by our rules, and not retarded Sharia, but in their backyard men are kings, and nothing they do to a woman can be frowned upon. That's wrong.
I would say you have met religious but not cultural Muslims. The guys I encountered were foreign students at my college, so they were born and raised in Saudi Arabia and went back when they finished their education.
They are easy to tell apart: cultural couples walk together, the evil ones have the women walk three steps behind them.
Or open your boyfriend's car door when you pick them up from somewhere and expect you to get out and get in the back.
I feel so left out when we start talking about racial/cultural issues. I don't know any black or muslim people. I've really only known one black guy personally, and I thought he was a real jerk, so I might be racist.
