There actually was an eid picture two Ramadans ago

I assume you mean "IED picture."

Thats what they say about Christmas, and every other Christian Holiday too. This is the new Atheiest method to denounce Christianity. It gets old.

WTF! No. It's about truth. What we call Christmass was at one time known as Winter fest, or some variation of that term with similar meaning throughout Europe. I know of some churches that still use the term Winter Fest for Holiday activities during christmas. If you want to say it's about denouncing christianity, you have to consider that it was first about denouncing paganism. But since it is silly to say it's about denouncing christianity, I'll say it's about accurately sharing history.

Here is a quick story I brought up a long time ago.. Abu-Graib pictures.. in Google Images...... If you searched from an IP in the USA.. your hits only consisted of PRE-Scandal.. no troops.. only Saddam there.. BUT... if you changed your ip to one outside the US .. all the gross images were there.. hmmm ... just some random accident?

Preferences -> SafeSearch Filtering -> Do not filter my search results -> Save Preferences

Shh.... it's a conspiracy ;)

Nice try.. why did the same setting work outside the USA but they didn't work inside USA
