The man is allowed to have opinions, and he is allowed to express those opinions. While I do not agree with the sentiments and "thought processes" behind this one -and, indeed, consider them infantile or duplicitous- I will not say that he insults either my country or Dr. Tolkein. Also, since he is a fine swordsman, I am willing to cut him some small amount of slack. Personal bias on my part.

However, we are also permitted opinions, and permitted expression. I am very tired of seeing this "No more BLOOD for OIL!" bushwah, so I propose the following:

NO MORE BLOOD FOR ISLAM!!!

E-mail it to him, to P.Jackson, to mediot websites, post it everywhere the ant-war infants gather. I will this eveneing try to craft a t-shirt layout and a bumpersticker format of this new mantra and put it up on my web page. Any who so desire will then be able to download them and use them for whatever purpose they desire. Personally, I think it'd be appropriate if several tens of thousands of individual FReepers had T-shirts made with this mantra and sent them to Mr. Mortenson's home address. Can you imagine his reaction?

I love that idea.

Simple, truthful, edgy, and controversial. I like it!

Minor correction from the fighter broad: the film makes him look like a fine swordsman. (Movie fights are choreographed as carefully as movie dances.)
