Just a thought.

Remember my disclaimer on my user info? The one that says to not call me rude unless you're willing to explain what I said and why it upset you, or at least explain ONE out of the two?

This is a general thank you to the people who manage to grasp that point. You either know who you are, or you don't, but if you ask, I'll tell you.

And, a reminder. If I want to insult you, I won't beat around the bush. I'll just call you stupid to your face (or screen, whatever) and get it over with. I mean, I'm all for subtle insults, but I'll never forget the time I carefully crafted an insult for one of Lizziey's ex-boyfriends, and he thought she was actually being thoughtful and caring. After that, I learned my lesson.

One more vocabulary review.

And this time I'll let you see what's prompting it.

Islam: A religious group. There is no "one way" to practice Islam, just like there is on "one way" to practice Christianity.

Muslim: A person who follows the religion known as Islam.

Arabic: A language, with many different dialects, some of which are very far apart. Spoken primarily by Arabs and Muslims.

Arab: Not synonymous with Muslim. Many Muslims are not Arab, many Arabs are not, nor have ever been Muslim.

Oh god...

He's not a rapist, he's a murderer, and he might be alive in 50 years. They ought to sentence him to life and make sure he doesn't get out. *shuddercries*

I love D.U.

First I've heard that Reagan wasn't a saint OR satan. And dear god it gets annoying, both views. All week, nothing but how wonderful he was, or how horrible, or how wonderful again. *rolls her eyes loudly*

Polydactyly

Apparently, this can be caused for no reason, or as part of a genetic disorder, or as part of an inocuous dominant gene. The extra digits are either useless or not. It is considered one of the more common birth defects.

Interesting.
