Haven't you all heard? All Christians are peaceful, loving people who would never hurt a fly; and all Muslims are violent bloodthirsty animals that want to destroy the west. I heard it on Fox News, so it must be true. Breivik must be a secret Muslim.

Well, I will not say that i have read his manifesto. However, I have read this commentary on his manifesto, which contained this -

So I would suppose he is a very misguided man who doesn't understand Christianity, just like Muslim terrorists don't understand Islam. The major difference is that I haven't heard any prominent Christian leader praising him, while Middle Eastern Imams often praise Islamic terrorist actions.

I am sickened that even if he is found guilty of every charger the max he can serve in Norway is 21 years. I think that he'll be 55 or something when he gets out (assuming time served while on trial is part of the 21 years).

There are exceptions to the 21 year max.

My understanding was it was 21 years but they can still keep you after that if they feel you are still a threat.

I can't say I'm entirely enamored with Obama's performance over the last 2+ years, but damnit I am happy to live in a world where someone can get Rick Rolled by the official White House twitter feed.

My in laws are getting more and more outspoken politically on facebook. They are extremely anti-Obama frequently referring to him in terms of POS Obama and similar.

I can't block them entirely because the family does a lot of communication through facebook. (The health of my husband's grandma, for example, is updated this way.)

I admit, I've posted political items before and have debated with them various issues. It's gotten old though because I seem to be the only one in the discussion with my viewpoint and end up feeling a bit ganged up on - not necessarily by family but by their facebook friends. You know how people can be online. ;)

No point. Just complaining.

Welcome to my world on the LoT. :)

Have I mentioned why I'm not on Facebook?

So Leo can befriend Betty's in-laws and update her on her husband's grandmothers status.

That's a great solution!
