Ok so here's an exchange between my brothers regarding current events. Keep in mind that the opinions expressed here are not my own.


Paul: Ok so on my breaks I have been reading about the Muslim backlash as a result
of all of the "offensive" cartoons depicting Mohammed. What really cracks
me up is the Danish reaction to having their flag burned. The media says
that the danes aren't used to seeing their flags burned. Something that we
all take for granted here in America. I guess I just kinda assumed that
some Muslim entrepreneur keeps a stock pile of American flags and sells them
anytime there is a reason to protest America. That "kinda" makes sense to
me but where the hell are all the Danish Flags coming from that they are
burning now. I wouldn't even know how to go about buying a Danish flag
short of the internet. So are they ordering them for the specific purpose
of burning them? Perhaps, grandma makes them, either way it seems kinda
sad.

Stuart:Come on dude, you haven't been buying flags from this site? I mean, it's sofast and easy, or and affordable.Plus, they don't just do flags. Coozies, trapper keepers, shot glasses, evenbig fuzzy house shoes. I personally enjoy my big Danish Comforter on my bed.Oh I also got an autographed picture of Prime Minister Anders FoghRasmussen. Gosh I hope the signature is genuine.

That being said there's a professor in my department that always comes around about three and gives everyone in the grad lab a cookie. I don't know why but that makes me feel good.
