Alternative methods to punishing Afghanistan.
Instead of bombing them with explosives, why don't we kill two birds with one stone. We could get all of our nuclear and toxic waste, and just dump it over there for the next 20 years.

Heck, we could build a new branch of UC Berkley there, so the students could protest the dumping! We'd be rid of moronic students and all of our nuclear waste!

With All Due Respect
Please don?t take this the wrong way but?I know you are simply cracking funnies on this subject (I hope) and you have every right to but I feel this type of rhetoric is very damaging. Messages of hate and cruelty in a humorous light are no less damaging. I can?t tell you how sick I am of the hateful trash that comes through my mail box these days; ?Ben Lauden?s Last Known Position? open it up and it?s a picture of him screwing a sheep, cartoons of ben Lauden being molested by the Statue of Liberty, on and on. What good does it do? The support to get this guy has been there sense the 11th. All it does is show poor taste and hate on the side of the Americans. Yes, go get this guy and exact justice upon him but let HIS actions vilify him, not OURS.

Vengeance and hate will only leave us bitter. Justice will bring us peace.

Take in the masses that are exiting the country and educate them. What better way to really piss off an opressive gov. and keep the innocent safe. I know I'll most likely get stoned for this one;-)

Along with Pamster's idea - someone suggested we kidnap all their women and send them to college.

RE: Alternative methods to punishing Afghanistan.
Nigal, I gotta disagree with you on the hate issue. I know, we are supposed to love everyone- supposedly. I do not love Bin Laden. I DO hate him. He is scum... yada, yada, yada... He is worthy of my contempt and whatever he has coming.

Should we teach our children to draw pictures of him with sheep??? I don't think so. Foster hate? Directly at him, yes. Because he is of mideast heritage? No, because he is a purely evil murderer.

I do not think it is wrong to hate him, or Hitler, or others of his ilk. (It is recorded in the Bible that the God of love hated ...uh, I'm a little fuzzy on this one, but it was either Cain or Esau. It was a case of He loved his brother, but hated either Cain or Esau). I do hope I'm not "giving license" to indiscriminate hate, here.

I do have to agree with you on some of the tasteless stuff going on. I always like the measure of would I discuss this with my 8-year old son and daughter?

Tom, that was a great one!

Nigal, well said.

Pamster, and Steiny, that really is a good idea, and the most likely to have any lasting effect. Isn't that in a way what reunited Germany?
And Ped, man, how your mind works.

I truly love this place. You guys crack me UP.

RE: Alternative methods to punishing Afghanistan.
You are right Nigal, I was half joking when I suggested we ship the nuclear waste there, it is much cheaper to bomb them.

Watch the news sometime, take a look at all those thousands of people marching in the streets, burning flags, hanging Bush. You'd think you were at a bar-b-que at Spock's house for crying out loud. A picture speaks a thousand words. They all need to pay dearly for supporting terrorism.

RE: Alternative methods to punishing Afghanistan.
Oh, I understand hate and how someone can feel that way. It?s usually the easiest feeling to express ourselves in. My main point was that nothing good can come from hate. Did the pictures of those people celebrating in the streets, burning my leader in effigy, and burning my countries flag piss me off? You betcha! But if I express hate for them and say things like, ?Kill ?em all and let G-d sort ?em out!? I show no less hate and contempt for them. I would be JUST as bad as them. If you want to hate them that is your own free will to do so. It?s the expressions of that hate I was commenting on. And it perfectly fine for us to disagree about it.

RE: Alternative methods to punishing Afghanistan.
bin Laden is not afraid to die. In fact he wants to, because he believes he will be a martyr and go straight to heaven.
Muslims must be buried intact (no cremation) and facing Mecca.

Pigs are an unclean animal in Islam and a good Muslim can have nothing to do with pigs.

So here's my suggestion:
We execute bin Laden by whatever means is cheapest. But instead of burying him we cremate him and mix his ashes with the feed at a hog farm.

This is a deterrent to any future Islamic terrorist. They will see that not only will they be killed, but they will not go to heaven.

Now Nigal, I gotta agree with you there. Expressions of hate really are distasteful. I don't like seeing them (expressions) any more than you do.

Nah, keep bin Laden alive and feed him pork for every meal for the rest of his life.

Remember it's the other white meat!

BOOBS, NOT BOMBS!

Women of the United States...........

Do your part:

The President has asked that we unite for a common cause.

As the hard-line Islamic fundamentalists can not
stand nudity, and consider it a sin to see a naked woman that is not their wife, tomorrow at noon all
women should run out of their homes and offices naked
to help weed out the terrorists.

The United States appreciates your efforts, and
applauds you.

God Bless America!

This Just In:

Don't kill bin Laden; don't even lock him up.

Kidnap him. Give him a 100% sex-change operation and send him back to live under the Taliban's rules as a woman.

RE: Alternative methods to punishing Afghanistan.
Things I've heard...

A strain of Ebola is spreading fast in eastern Afghanistan.

Millions of people are displaced.

Food is pretty much nonexistant.

They don't like sex, fast food or TV.

Kill them? Let's let them enjoy the wonderful society they've built. And allow them to build their civilization as a model for the rest of the world.

BTW, I've heard that we might bomb Afghanistan's air defenses so that American relief flights could drop food to refugees. This has to be one of the few places ever where bombing is a humanitarian pursuit.

Air defenses?!? You call a kid with a slingshot an air defense? Well, bomb them anyway, I guess.
