The Iraqi government is so divided by sectarian lines its ridiculous.
They should follow Turkey's model. Turkey strictly prohibts any mixing of government and religion. And non of the political parties can be named or formed according to sectarian lines.
Religion itself is not the problem, its the Theocracy and the blatant division of people by sectarian lines thats the problem.
Turkey is good. It's sorta like Chicken only better because it's bigger and can hold more stuffing. It also goes good with cranberries. If you think about it, that's a pretty monumental acomplishment considering the only thing cranberries were good with prior to that was a urinary tract infection. Did you know that the national bird of the united states was almost the Turkey, but they decided to use a bald eagel instead? I guess George Washington never experienced painfull urination. He may have changed his vote if he had. I think we should make the national bird of the planet earth, the turkey. :wave:
Yea Ben Franklin was a proponent of that idea (Turkey as national bird).Quote:

I can't believe after all of the wonderfull things that the turki in this world have done for humans, that you can support that. The only thing eagles have done are krap on windshields and choke in the superbowl. :)Quote:

[in serious mode] Wild turkeys are anything but slow, stupid and fat. and unlike their imprisoned butterball brothers waiting for a thanksgiving execution, can actually fly.Quote:

Free the Butterballs!

I'll go along with that :). Of course, St George slew one - I've often wondered if there's any significance in that, given our national histories.Quote:

Probably. Supposedly the red dragon represented the Welsh and the white dragon the Anglo-Saxons (I believe they were the standards used at the time). Near the end of the battle, they became drunk on mead and they were buried together in a stone coffin in the center of Britain. Legend also has it that as long as they remain buried together, no other may invade the island.
I always find it funny that of the four national saints only one comes from their respective countries!
St David (Wales) was Welsh
St George (England) was Palestinian
St Patrick (Ireland) was either Welsh or Franch-Brittany (Bannavem Taberniae)
St Andrew (Scotland) was Isreali
I thought Dragons were reptiles not birds? Dragons were pretty cool. I never understood why England never put them on the endangered species list. You can never have too many winged flame throwers flying around.
Dragons aren't reptiles. They have way too much metabolism for that.Quote:

Difference between Eagle and Turkey.Quote:

anyway back on topic. Turkey is a model case of a primarily Islamic country where seperation of church and state has worked wonders.
Maybe people need to complain about Theocracies and politicians using religion as a pawn in their agendars instead of against the actual religion.
Religion is only bad when it's mixed with politics.
Fried eagle is awesome, tastes a bit like rattlesnake.
I thought rattlesnake tastes like chicken. :confused:
=> Eagle tastes like chicken.
What, you mean you don't like 16 stone beauties with teeth like Mister Ed?Quote:

I don't feel comfortable eating anything that is a top predator. Seems un-natural.Quote:

I'm thinking a Jeffrey Dahmer burger is about as high as you can go. :sick:Quote:

of course, no bear are cooler than the seattle black bears :bigyello: . :thumb:
:lol: :lol:
That IS classic. That's a HUUUGE amount for most black bears to consume. He must have been drunk off his bear butt. Good thing he wasn't one of those beligerent drunks.
Why does the bear got to be black huh?Quote:

I'm kidding.
Polar bears only drink Pepsi.
No I think they drink seal.Quote:
