I don't think anyone else supported his point of view. It's flabbergasting because he was the one who just a couple of weeks ago blew his top because another poster was tarring all Muslims with the same brush. That ended up being a pretty bitter back-and-forth. Now apparently this attack has hit close to home because he is also in the military and so he's completely changed his mind - and to a degree that made the poster of the previous thread look like Mother Fucking Teresa. I think, as in any open resource where a dude is more or less free to do or say what they want, there is always the temptation to perhaps go too far and abuse it sometimes; it's the test of any dude to see if such freedoms are use wisely and in a dudely manner. I hope this resource continues to be used properly. After all, this is an open unlocked door with a welcome mat, but still a private residence, man. 3

I didn't want to say anything because the last time I got involved it just seemed to make everything worse. But I can't hold my tongue. I'm considering using a heavier hand in closing threads or even banning people. This forum is starting to get hijacked by extreme personalities. It used to be an easygoing place. Once this forum no longer serves its purpose as a Dudeist meeting place and soapbox I will happily shut the whole thing down. If you can't take 'er easy then take 'er somewhere else. 5

The Bar is Over Here / Re: What's the best rum for a Cuba Libra'?« Last post by Abideist on May 24, 2013, 10:39:32 PM »![]() An affordable and very good rum is Appelton Estate they have great white rum, and are a Jamaican brand I believe. I used to make a mighty fine mojito with it when I lived near the Keys. By the way, if you're just drinking rum in general. Go with Pussers. I hadn't ever heard of Wray & Nephew, and now I will definitely try them, thanks roystonoboogie dude. 7
Over The Line! / Re: Beyond outrageous« Last post by Abideist on May 24, 2013, 10:37:46 PM »Of course you should never be afraid of terrorists. I think we can all agree with that. You can't let possibly dying stop you from enjoying your life and living. If you give into fear you are allowing for changes to made in the freedoms that the terrorists are attacking , they win. If suddenly because of the boston bombing we end up having TSA agents at sporting events because people are too afraid to go running or be spectators, they win.
For all you British dudes, I hope things don't get crazier than they already are. Definitely the situation with the Islamic threat is something that will take time and patience, and ultimately human good will and compassion, understanding and charity on all sides to resolves. As a short term for the extremists, all you can do is be on your guard and do your job as citizens and community leaders to help prevent crimes if you know or can do anything. peace dudes. 8
Over The Line! / Re: Beyond outrageous« Last post by roystonoboogie on May 24, 2013, 05:29:25 PM »I applaud your opinion, meekon5. I grew up in London in the '70s. I spent essentially all of my life until I was in my 30s under the direct threat of terrorist action. And do you know what?
I was never afraid. I grew up amongst people who had been bombed in the Blitz, and if I learned anything from them it was this: never be afraid of the people who mean you harm. They want you to be afraid of them. If you are afraid, they win. If you are not afraid, they lose. I can't take a bottle of water on an aeroplane in case it is a bomb. The terrorists won. I have to take a flimsy pair of Converse All Stars off at security in case they are a bomb and not a well-known brand of shoes. The terrorists won. I can't put my litter in a bin at the train station, the bins were all removed as an anti-terror measure. The terrorists won. The threat of terrorism is a tiny risk - far lower risk than crossing the road whilst talking on your cellphone, or smoking a cigarette. I refuse to be afraid of terrorism, regardless of how hard the terrorists and the media try to make me afraid. This aggression will not stand, man. 9

If I was to run onto the street and kill someone and claim it was in the name of the telly tubby's would we be shouting for the destruction of all Telly Tubbys? These two fuck wits killed someone, then have claimed they are doing this on someones behalf. They were not. If I ran onto the street and killed someone and claimed it was on the behalf of Dudeism would you then be calling for the destruction of all Dudeists? What is the best way to radicalise the pacifist Muslims? You murder someone (a soldier) in a public place in the most horriblest way you can. You shout about being Muslims so the reaction is for the white people to take "revenge" on the Muslims. So the none radicalised Muslims react to the "revenge" and you have the war the minority wanted. I have seen calls for reaction, revenge, so what do we do once we have expelled all the blacks,and the chinks, and the indians? Do we start on the jews (look at Israel they carry guns). The Irish, because dont forget the seventies, and eighties when the IRA killed far more than just one person? I understand the ferver and disgust against what has been doen here, but they have been arrested. They will be tried, stop shouting for the linch mob. And please remeber I come from a forces family, I come from the time when my father used to check under the car in the morning just in case the IRA had put a bomb under it, and the standing orders were you didnt wear your uniform when you were off duty because it would make you a target for the terrorists. These two killed one soldier (and I do not condone that) but the IRA put fucking nail bombs in pubs and killed people, they put bombs in Waterloo, which I walk through every day on the way to work, in the name of catholic Irish people, did we then try to expel catholics and burn their churches? Justice will be done against these two (arse holes), but not by burning mosques across the UK. Again this is all in my own particular opinion. 10
