“…condemned to life upon the street.”

“I don't know if it's just a FOX News thing or a general American attitude, but the opinions being presented just really don't mesh with religious tolerance.”

So, I've been really bored these past few days. So, with that boredom, I figure that I should watch some television. It's kind of odd because I really don't watch television anymore. Nevertheless, I decided to turn it on and see what was on.

I was disappointed.

I ended up having to watch FOX News since there was nothing better to watch.1 Oh, thankfully, I happened to keep my television off a few weeks earlier when celebrity death news was blasted on all the news stations. Unfortunately, it was still being covered. Anyway, I'm not really trying to talk of celebrity deaths. My main concern was just the treatment of Muslims in this country. I don't know if it's just a FOX News thing or a general American attitude, but the opinions being presented just really don't mesh with religious tolerance. “Several Islamic imams were kicked off of an aircraft. But… what really happened?” Hmm… it sounded to me like the Muslims were doing some pretty Muslimy stuff like praying or reading the Qur'an. Hmm… and I used to believe that Christians in this country were persecuted.2

Otherwise, the past two months have come to a close. So, I have to find a new source for my weblog-entry titles. I'll give five dollars to the first person who can correctly guess where they've been coming from for the past two months!


  1. On a side note, I find it odd that FOX News has an American flag waving in the upper-left corner. I figure that it's meant to entice hardcore Americans to watch it while appealing to their sense of patriotism despite the fact that FOX is owned by an Australian company.
  2. All eighty percent of them.

Quote to ponder: “The opposite of love is not hate; it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness; it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy; it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death; it's indifference.” — Elie Wiesel
