How many countries are between 51% and 98% Muslim again?

[sheik yerbouty]

I believe he effected a cure for Gemellus'coughing.

Most northeastern Irish (Boston, for example) overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

This tends to be directly opposite to the Welsh/Scots/Irish blooded people who inhabit the Appalachians. [my area]

Go figure.....:-|

[VOA]

Now there's a true Welshman!

[stands2reason]

You don't know what the word "heretic" means. Besides if all the pagans were forcibly converted when Christianity first took hold, how could there possibly still be pagans around 1000 years later?

[stands2reason]

The only reason Christians haven't done this kind of thing lately is that they haven't had to.

What do you mean by that?

Christians are bloodthirsty animals who like to torture people?

[stands2reason]

The Christophobes are out in full force here.

They are earnestly trying to get the Christian mob to thinks things over rationally. (/sarc)

I clicked on this thread to get away from their noise. So much for that, huh?

[stands2reason]

Not Legolas. Gimli!

Legolas is a young English pretty-boy twit.

[Salamander]

Ask Gerald Gardener......:))

It's easy to lose a civilization," Rhys-Davies warns. "The values of Western civilization have brought so much good to the world: the notions of equality, democracy, tolerance, abolition of slavery."

This guy is good stuff. Refreshing to hear honesty and intelligence coming from an actor.

I agree.. -- John is one of our genuine FR heros..

How he ever managed to get Deb in hand is another true wonder.

[Tax-chick]

Legolas is pretty ... he was pretty in "Pirates of the Caribbean," too.

They shortchanged Gimli's character unforgiveably in the movies. Dwarves throughout LOTR were dignified characters, with no denigration for their (lack of) height. The director of the movies blew that completely. Gripe, gripe, gripe. I watched about half of "Fellowship" and "Two Towers," finished my sewing, and went to bed. Very disappointed, overall.

[kcpopps]

Tom Selleck, Mel Gibson, James Woods, Dennis Miller, Arnold Schwarzenegger?, John Rhys-Davies...and no telling how many "closet" conservatives

You forgot Bo Derek

And Kelsey Grammer. And Drew Carey. And Chuck Norris. And Dwight Schultz.

And Bruce Willis

I used to have a longer list of celebrities - a lot more than the above - but I've lost it. I need to start rebuilding that...

[Bob J]

How he ever managed to get Deb in hand is another true wonder.

My personal experience suggests that is a work in progress...heheh.

[tpaine]

Lucky fella, John..

-- And I'm sure deb tells him that every day.

[Deb]

You got that right.

[tpaine]

Gee Deb, you ~have~ mellowed..
John does good work..

Best wishes to you both.
How come we didn't see you two at the Oscars?

[Deb]

Thanks. Gimli left for London this morning and it's the first peace I've had in months. Whew. But I only have a couple of days to clean his axes.

[Deb]

It was them damn Hobbits. They snapped up the last 4 tickets offered to New Line...then we missed out on the lottery the Academy holds for members. We watched at the New Line party where a thousand people sat in stunned silence for three hours.

Thanks for your kind words.

[tpaine]

I had no idea that LA could come up with one thousand stunned/silent people..

You sure you weren't lost in Fresno?
