Moslem is a perfectly adequate way of rendering the Arabic word in Roman letters. Especially if you live in the fucking 19th century!!!1!!

No it doesn't. And please explain how any of your "issues, matters, and concerns", posted above, in any way answer my existential question, reigning concern, and whemied matter, posted below.

You're just mad because even after six months' absence, my poemvote:poem ratio still kicks yours's ass. By the way, excellent spelling on "tangentially" or "tangentally". Ace distinction between random and tangentially-related, too! By the way, your bum, and kissing -=D_A=-,P.I.'s and Jeremi's ass isn't going to keep you out of the "pee closet" for another six months. And PS-Like you'd fucking know you fucking numbwad. I'm the fucking on-topic commenter here. And shamefully so, as you'd know if you weren't using the Poemranker Instruction Manual only to prop yourself up to the level of your desk. Can you explain to me what "an immitation [sic] of the idea of the thing" means? I bet not. Like the rest of your comments: fluff, unfunny, and I don't even get the standard 'Shuushin Ten' on one of my poems for bothering with it.

Fine, here goes: Cairsten displays a horrifying ability to so mutate all his comparisons, and usually within the space of like two lines, that by the time he's done you've forgotten what or why he was comparing in the first place and they're just hanging around his ears like so many limp deli meats and oh god its so horrible please somebody make it stop. -10-

Wow, looks like you got hit by the harsher side of the ranker.

Then it is imperative that you continue to force rhymes lest the reader fails to grasp the gravity of what you are doing.

or as your sentence suggests with the use of aka is Abu Grahib the muslim word for the torturing of one's offspring.
Re: a comment on War Story by dougsoderstrom	richa 81.178.241.233	10-Jan-05/2:33 PM
I am a parent who would like to torture his children. Could you give me more details about this Abu Grahib place please.

Most of Jesu's eggs never hatched; they were either trampled by oaves, stolen by monkeys, or crucified by the Romans. The one documented case of a Jesu egg actually hatching occurred shortly after the resurrection, just south of the little town of Bethlehem. Jesu had layed the egg in one of His many burrows, concealing the entrance with an extraordinarily stained toga. Exercising the sort of prescience one comes to expect from bearded deities, Jesu stuffed huge quantities of straw and rice down the burrow; the egg was well insulated, and survived the winter. Ten days later it emitted cacophonous trumpeting sound, and hatched. Inside nestled the finest pair of sandals in the Bethlehem region.

It does not save you. One day I hope to see you join the crushedaceans you so callously devour. For my own part, I view consumption as a means of asserting my total dominance over the aminal kingdom. There can be no greater sense of victory than that obtained through CONSUMING an underling: by taking that which is most precious, most irreplacable, and incorporating it, rendering the victim pointless, and the victor fat and sleek.
Re: a comment on War Story by dougsoderstrom	Shuushin 147.154.235.53	10-Jan-05/11:35 AM
I eat shellfish, and fishes - does this save me? Perhaps just a partial crushing? Before anyone asks (zodiac), I eat them because they fail my very strict (and conveniently secret) cuteness/intelligence ratio tests.

I had forgotten you were a herbivore. I think herbivores are weak, and one day I will crush them.
Re: a comment on The Way by Dovina	Shuushin 147.154.235.53	10-Jan-05/10:49 AM
It would be one thing if the comments were even a shade of what artists like -=DA=- and H8 did (and both of them even knock an occasional poem out of the park). Your comments are like some kind of random, tangentaly related gibberish. This bothers you because you know it to be true. Search your feelings zodiac. Like your poetry - an immitation of the idea of the thing; a synthesis. We drew straws - I had to tell you.
Re: The Wall is Crying by daggatolar	thepinkbunnyofdoom 66.161.179.254	10-Jan-05/10:44 AM
Harsh on the thought required to so much as understand what the fuck your talking about. No Offense. Thought it was bad ass as far as Imagines, but I draw no real meaning out of this. -8- for now.
Re: a comment on War Story by dougsoderstrom	Shuushin 147.154.235.53	10-Jan-05/10:32 AM
Okay, now I'm really [angry], nobody told me about the tortured kittens.

First verse, loved/magical things were expected, and then second and third were like I got shit on while pondering the beautiful imagine lain before.

Do you think the War in Iraq is morally equivalent to torturing children? Of course Abu Ghraib was a monumental cock-up, but do you really think what went on there was in perfect harmony with our plan and general ethos for the war? Can't you think of any potential benefits arising from regime change in the Middle East? Do you not think that at some point, something had to happen in Iraq? In accepting the status quo you would have to be willing to accept a regime that employed torture as a matter of course, killed hundreds of thousands of its own people, continuously tried to obtain WMD right up to the bitter end, hoarded millions while its people lived in squalor, harboured known terrorists (like our friend Mr Zarqawi), and which probably would only ever end after putting up some sort of fight, either now, or later on, perhaps on its own terms rather than ours. So we accept the regime. And then what? We wait till Saddam dies, and Uday and Qusay take over? That's a pleasant prospect. If you're going to disagree with the War that's fine. But to do so simply because of a perverted prison scandal strikes me as simplistic. It's like that film Fahrenheit 9/11. An entire documentary about Iraq that completely ignored the moral arguments for regime change, as if we'd never found the mass graves or tortured kittens.

Dear Zodiac: I am in favor of The Iraq War to the same extent that I am in favor of parents torturing their children (aka Abu Grahib..SP?)! Yes, I am very much against The war! Also I think that our president, George Walker Bush, is a really bad human being! He may well be "the most dangerous terrorist" in the world today. Certainly he has the power to do more harm than anyone else on the planet.
