    Re: Barbarians | Official Teaser | Netflix

    Yeah I found it to be pretty cheesy and not in a good way like TLK. Predictable and shallow with some shoddy dialogue to boot. After the first two episodes I really lost interest.

  19. Re: Religion of Peace Strikes Again: Teacher beheaded in France after showing Mohammed cartoons

    Well I can only speak to my own experience in the UK. Two attacks in the UK this year isn’t exactly a huge number. Two the year previous to that, too. And the argument of Muslim ‘gangs’ being made...
  20. Re: Religion of Peace Strikes Again: Teacher beheaded in France after showing Mohammed cartoons

    And what ‘problem’ is that? I think if Islamic teachings were as dangerous as you seem to believe there would surely be far more issues than a lone teacher’s death. Considering how large the global...
  21. Re: Religion of Peace Strikes Again: Teacher beheaded in France after showing Mohammed cartoons

    Indeed, but the rhetoric is not being levied at oligarchs but instead the general Muslim population of western nations, characterised as an Islamic ‘gang’ or death squads, who are either waiting in...

  25. Re: Religion of Peace Strikes Again: Teacher beheaded in France after showing Mohammed cartoons

    I’m not sure Saint Louis will care. Being a corpse for seven hundred years tends to make one ambivalent. Especially towards the Republic that beheaded his direct descendent and namesake.
