Intellectual Intercourse

No oscillating eyelids,
no cantilevering hair:
these absences blare
my inaccessibility to Everyman,

but my words draw your tongue
to dance in wit�s reply,
or, mated by my play
to close our bout as trivial,
to refuse to chase my bait--

yet we grapple for the final
word. You hunger
for exchange as much as I.
From our mouths, faster,
the words fly like atoms,
colliding more often,
creating heat that reddens your cheeks
enough to obscure your freckles.

My coy phrases frustrate;
your refusals to accept my advances
of my hypotheses excite--
for no other matches so well with me,

but this heat peaks in you
earlier than in me. I still lust
for debate, when you want only quiet;
I still yearn for the heat
of arguement,
I still desire the nearness
of our minds.

Greywolf posted this lil tidbit (nice knowin ya Grey) :

When people like Alisha Imam, self-proclaimed frontline defenders of Pakistan, all of a sudden start siding with mad men and crooks, I doubt anything more can be said except that Pakistan is in peril.

x-trist posted this in another thread :

As far as trying to label me as some kind of hate monger. Good luck my friend. You may not agree with me, I may not agree with you, that is what this is about, but I can personaly tell you that this American has done more to help Muslims than 99.9% of the people in this forum, and risked his life to do so, and was proud to do so.

So which is it, you fault Americans for not being informed, for being biased etc etc, but dare we open our mouths or visit your forum, then it is some kind of delusional paranoia. I think not.

followed up by Kevin (testing out his kevlar) :

xTrist brought up a point that has been occuring more lately on this entire board. If a 'Westerner' asks a question or strongly disagrees he is branded as a hate mongerer or anti-muslim. Where did this unsettling trend begin? How can we all learn from each other if we are trying to start verbal fights?

And this little jab at offensive things standing while innocuous posts dissapearing remains almost untouched - except by Adam because he is in one of his jewbashing fits and wants his topic to stand.

Jake Williams posts this :

Well Mr. Moderator .. you certainly have my permission..as well as my encouragement to delete this entire string .. and the original note .. which is in the ["Jews" first or "America"] ...topic in this segment of the forum. The posting members registration # is listed in the note above ...
i only brought this up because a rather innocous (IMO) note of mine was struck from another topic .. and i felt it was very unusual that something like this was allowed to stand ...

thanks for your inputs ...

I can just smell the smoke. No fire yet.. but its getting there.

Hey Kev I admire your desire for casting an 'international light' on this subject. I dont think Alisha is going to understand your point. Webmagic starting to seek to 'smooth' things over far too much to make valid points in this thread IMO.

Yes it occurred in the West but it isnt a Western Issue. I dont think Alisha was being cruel I think she was just being vapid. I am sure it seemed like a 'duh' moment for her. California .. west.. Western Issues! Like fer sur!

Author: aileen (LMAO!) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:23:05 12/27/01 Thu Alisha says... It happened here in the West, the aggressor and the victim was from the West, the 'dating' is also a western tradition, the incident is being investigated under 'western law' so I vote for having it stay in the Western Issues as it is a Western Issue Alisha

[> [> Subject: Define Western?
Author: Kevlar Kid [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 13:08:20 12/28/01 Fri They refuse to answer my question as for a definition of Western....Don't Russians date? Don't Japanese? Are they Western? Where did she mention dating in her opening comment except in the title. Must be an inside joke! The Kevlar holds up, but it's a lonely battle by yourself!
