Hello,

I just read this article online. I wonder if they'll change the picture that accompanies the article?

Odd.

Although I've seen a representation of middle eastern culture well done in Anime before.
Quatre Raberba Winner (from Gundam Wing) is a Berber and although it's not very promiment, the presentation of the culture behind him and the maganac corps with him is represented quite well.

If you wanna see a REAL point blank view of things from an Afghans point of view, you should buy or rent "The Beast".

I highly reccommend it, if you ever wanted an understanding of those people.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Not sure what it depicts...?

The use of falcons for hunting has a long history in the area, but I don't get it (us old folk are kinda slow about these things, y'know...)

Hello,

I was observing that the sheik or whoever in the falconry depiction is giving us all the middle finger. ;-)

Oh, I thought you were pointing out the not-so-subtle irony of decrying the lack of accessible Arabic culture to kids, and using and admiring Japanese culture as the fix to that... ;)

Go fuck yourself.
On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you.

Friday, May 28, 2010 - 18:26 To President Obama:
Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.
