Islamists attack gas plant in France, pin one victim's head to plant gates

No matter how hard I try, nobody reads between my lines

Because you're not smart enough to write anything between them.

My trades papers may not add up to your online grammar tutor skills in your eyes, but they allowed me to raise a family, afford homes, build a company and I could retire if I wanted to
I'm only 51, and I love my job
I probably help out a couple dozen people with a higher education then you everyday

The thing is I know even a decent high school diploma should have afforded you the knowledge to know when to use then/than (see above) or your/you're (see every time you mean you're). There are plenty of clever tradespeople. It's just that you don't present as one of them, as neither your writing or the thoughts you sloppily express are advanced beyond a low baseline.

It's sort of crazy that you have somehow decided that intelligence = writing skills.
My boss, an old friend of mine has his grade nine.
He is worth 50 million easily
In our lifetimes he has spent zero time typing and you can see my typing experience right here
Thing is though, put us into a room full of people and we would communicate our asses off
I think only an idiot could write off someone as stupid based on their ability to properly write an essay

How about you Blanky what's your life's accomplishments?
Are we going to the Islamic Center or what?

Don't bother talking to "Earl." He's a known liar and if you believe anything he says about himself, then you're buying oceanfront property in Arizona.

"Earl" chronically lies; most recently he tried to equate an incredibly vague and unclear polling question by PPP to the Pew question about whether or not Muslims want Sharia law. The intentionally unclear PPP question didn't ask if people "wanted Ecclesiastical courts to supersede the US courts and Constitution" or anything concrete like that. But Earl tried to make it sound that way because he's what he does: he deflects and lies.

I put "Earl" on Ignore after that and suggest you do the same. He intentionally says outlandish things to stir up trouble, then deflects and lies when called on it. That is literally the definition of an internet troll. If not a troll, well, let's just say that for all you know, "Earl" is actually some kid named Mohammed Al-Blawi and the Saudi Arabian equivalent of these guys: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/magazine/the-agency.html?_r=1

As a general response to his lies I'll link to http://www.reddit.com/r/exmuslim which has the perspective of people who had to grow up in Muslim households. I've known about that subreddit for years--long before ever stepping foot in P&N here--but some people might not.

The people at /r/exmuslim would laugh about going to an Islamic cultural center to learn about Islam. That's like going to a church pastor to learn about Christianity. OF COURSE any religious center staff will play up the good parts of Islam or Christianity and deflect and hand-wave about the bad parts, just like this Daesh (ISIS) recruiter did to this American girl: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/28/world/americas/isis-online-recruiting-american.html?_r=0

Basically asking a priest about Christianity is like asking someone "are you a good person?" What do you expect him to say? What do you expect an Islamic preacher to say about Islam?

Going to people who are more impartial like professors of religious studies at respected research universities would be much preferable.

Right after I warned Blanky and Earl to stop you think it's ok to jump in?

Agreed, it wasn't even worthy of a response for the reason you mention.

I just spent a few min on exmuslim and it's interesting to see some of the posts.

That's just VGs mo. Always supporting his isis buddies while attempting plausible deniability.

Hey, look who turned up. Ready to tell us if you support what Ann Coulter said about Gov. Haley yet?

When you admit your an ISIS sympathizer I'll give you an opinion on Ann.

It's a simple question. Do you agree with Ann Coulter regarding the comments she made about Gov. Haley or not? Why will you not answer the question?

Wait..no..you don't get to continue to crap on me after you ignore me

I think a good long life skills course would help you
I'm sure you will "somehow" see this post

Everyone stop this inter-personal jihad. And no further posts commenting on this action, either. Stick to the OP topic.
