Yawn...don't try and portray Australians as racists and bigots. The
headline is misleading. It is not "Muslims out of Australia", but
rather "Muslims who want to live under Sharia law would be better off
out of Australia". Big difference.
Back to GI Joe now.....nothing to see here.

Nothing. Nothing at all goes thru their heads, that's why they do it.
WTF is this group coming to when GI Joe, an action figure with an empty
plastic head has more common sense than many of its posting members.
Actually, Da Box is no better or no worse now than in the "Good Ole
Days". Sure a lot of really kewl Joeheads have gone, but a bunch of us
have stayed and have been joined by new and maybe improved Joeheads.
It just seems like it was way better back then. It was just different.
Besides, 99 percent of you guys/girls/Tank are just FNGs compared to
me!! :).........................................................DUG

I'd really like to know what goes through the head of someone who reads
"SEND THIS TO EVERYBODY YOU KNOW" and actually does it.
