For the Heck of It

Re: # 17

Zidane, like Mohammed Ali, Sania Mirza, Pele, Vince Papale (see: Invisible), Prefontaine, Michael Jordan are the role models, inspirations, and souls of the masses. Issues of class, race, gender, religious and sexual identity in the sphere of sports is as relevant as any other field.

correction to #17 - centiBillionaires not millionaires...

Im sure its profound but, as a white man said, cudnt a cigar b just a cigar?
I have trouble picturing ANY football star identifying with the yokels. They rnt supermen u know, being centimillionairs and dirty ayrabs/blacks/browns @ the same time..

Hmmmm.....I am thinking whether I should accuse him of Date rape........

The man I fall in love with.....

Its like he is created in the image of the divine....atleast he thinks that.......and erects lots of phallic symbols everywhere to glorify his ever drooping viagra requiring Phallus.........

The more viagra he requries.......The more obstinate and perverted he gets......


Syed Akber Ahmed mentions him in his book as the perverted grandfather who seats the grandchild on his lap and then lovingly strokes the child.......now the innocent child for some reason knows that it is being violated if that is so the case........

But Pakistani children, or Islamic children have no recourse.....they are taught by their mothers to pray......

Pray to Allah.....He will listen to your prayers........Just grow up and then abuse your own children......

and the vicious cycle continues......


who will speak for the children of the world......

As Khalil Gibran would say......


Your children are not your property.........

O Mankind, why do you not heed the signs.....so clear!

Are you waiting for a table from heaven to arrive with a God sitting on it....or some defunct Imam......


Get a clue you idiots......


Hello DUH

ok.... time to head off to Micheals in Pleasantville NY for karaoke Night.....

Must go sing.......

if you sing in karaoke bars... they dont lock you up ............

Today I denounce Islam......

and accept back the religion of my ancestors.....

I am Brahmin again.....

of Sanatan Dharm........

THats it......

Muslims can go to Hell..........Most of their men will end up there anyway......most of their women will be in Heaven anyway........so what does it matter......

As they say, Dubya the Almighty, the All powerful....the All Seeing is Benevolent......and very very merciful.....

He gives favors to those he shall.....calls them the Ashrafeen...... LOL... Get it......in more than one way..... Gold Ashrafis too!


Well.........in that case......lets see... that girl in Iraq who got raped and burned alive......

She rests in a place where no man can touch her......

She rests in a place underneath which gardens flow........

She rests near the Virgin Mother.........under Pomegranate trees, resting on rugs that shadow the finest Turkish Bursa Silk Hereke Rugs.....

She is Untouchable....Get it.....So very Code of Manu..........

Well............getting back to Mr. Dubya.......and the thousands of American boys who lost their lives....and their poor families........

We, the family of Shoresahib pray on their behalf and pray that Allah gives them Heaven......May Jesus Smile upon them......and seat them on his right hand..........

Sorry I didn`t realise what you had written was from Sydney newspaper. I saw that later. It`s just the cheese eating .... thing that caught my eye first. Camus was never a collaborator nor neutral unlike that twit Sartre.
Rabbit Proof Fence was a great movie. However my quote was meant to poke fun at all the racist Australian jokes that used to permeate a lot of their humour till the 60`s and at Pauline Hanson etc.
My apologies for the mistake.

I`m trying to imagine Bush as Prince Myshkin in `The Idiot``. There are definite possibilities.

Re: # 3

Very nice............please you need to write more.........

swarrier,

After Bush has finished with Camus (though he should have started his project with Dostoevsky), he should read Iqbal for an answer to the Myth of Sisyphus.

Re: # 7
They`re poking fun at the radio shows and the president. There`s nothing funny about Rabbit Proof Fence-that film was so heartbreaking I couldn`t finish it, but I did read the book- or Mel-or is there?
Look at their language-gives it away!

> how the Middle Eastern countries can not believe in the virtues of the western
> democracy?

Huh. Another pathetic attempt to subtly forward the idea of democracy being ``western``
somehow.....

Are the arabs (& arab goo-chaaters that are in abundance here) ok with ``Eastern`` democracy ?
How about some kind of south-eastern democrazy ?

Duh .....

Re: # 6
Oh I missed the appropriate smileys. Cheese eating surrender monkeys is more along the lines of American right wing radio shows.
Australians and a sense of humour that doesn`t deal with Fosters, Mel Gibson and rabbit proof fences . What are we gettting into now?-)

Re: # 5
Umm, this is meant to be amusing, -maybe it`s the Australian sense of humour you`re not getting?

Re: # 2

How does a member of the French resistance become a cheese eating surrender monkey?

L`Etranger.

I don`t know what Mersault and Bush have in common. Perhaps Bush would have been better off reading the Myth of Sisyphus. At least he would then know that all endeavour is futile.

Re: # 3

addition to para 5

Another black irony is that historically the value of brown and black colonized bodies was meaningless in colonial policy. Had Camus` narrator lived even 40 years before the time frame of the novel, he would not have been held as accountable for the murder of an Arab man.
