Never the less, even though this article is from August, it serves a purpose:

Don't think that Muslims are the only crazy people.

Now, in other news, the sky is blue at day and red at dusk because of how light diffracts...

What is it about feet that can make American citizens feel more solidarity with medical brothers across the globe, to the point of taking up arms against their fellow citizens.

I didn't want to be an podiatrist basher (I hate ALL doctors), but you don't see anesthesiologists blowing up Dr. Scholls in support of their brethren, you don't see American plastic surgeons suicide bombing Miami to avenge the ugly people in France. What about podiatry can turn a person against all normal societal bonds?

What goes around comes around. See how they like it when their shiat and their innocent civilians get blown up randomly.

You mean like what the Russians did in Afgahnistan or Chechnia? Or what the Isreali's are doing right now? yaa. That'd suck

Asshat.

Could have been that Irish Catholic Goldstein...

Or he could be an agnostic, or Buddhist, or Rastafarian.

Aren't we supposed to reserve judgement until we have some facts?

Yeah, cause that never ever happens anywhere in the world. Certainly not Israel or Afghanistan.

Muslims obviously being a threat to the science of foot care.

Look at what those evil bloodthirsty muslims are driving good christian and jewish folk to do now ! HOW FARKING DARE THEY ! This guy is in jail just because he decided to take action on the side of right ! Pre-emptive war is OK in Iraq, so why would going after the backward subversive America hating Ay-rabs in Florida be any different !@#!

NUKE THEM ALL NOW !!!

I'll bet he was a member of the People's Front of Judea.

Or was it the Judean People's Front?

Nabob- Who doesn't give christians their chances? I know I do.

The point is, the majority of people here who are blind to other cultures are blind to Muslim and feel that they are all bastards who deserve to fry... I wish they would open their eyes instead of being bigoted against religions...

I asked my Indian, not hindu, room mate what you call a person who is bigoted against religions.

He replied: "Christians".

This story is from August.

The new story is here:
NEW STORY - HIS WIFE GETS ARRESTED

sheesh

The new news is that the police have arrested his wife and another doctor.

http://news.tbo.com/news/MGATH5AKP7D.html

"...and she told me she was on her way to the psychatrist. I asked her why, and she said she was a nymphomaniac who is only turned on by Jewish cowboys. She then asked for my name.


I said; Bucky Goldstein."

-- Steven Wright

I asked my Indian, not hindu, room mate what you call a person who is bigoted against religions.

He replied: "Christians".

Thanks for letting us know that he's a bigot.

(You _do_ see that, right?)

But the dog that shot that guys foot wasn't even Muslim...

He's clearly insane.

"Dr. Robert J. Goldstein, 37, was charged with possession of a non-registered destructive device and attempting to use an explosive to damage and destroy Islamic centers. "

Is that a specific crime? Like, "attempting to use an explosive to damage and destroy Islamic centers" gets you 15 years, and "attempting to use an explosive to damage and destroy non-Islamic centers" Gets you 20?

Pedantic- He was just kidding around, I should have said that in the post... but the point is still out there. Every religion puts themselves on a soap box and denounces other religions...

I just thought it was funny how he answered so quickly and concisely.

But, what do you call a person bigoted against religions?

from August 23 ? this is what passes for "news" ? feh, someone just poopy that the sniper turned out to be Islamic.

Crotchrocket Slim: I think you mean "ignorance", not bias.
I am ignorant, I thought "Islamic worship center" = "Mosque". What else are they called? Not flaming, just asking.

All podiatrist must die... they are evil and the profession is evil as well... soak their nuts in battery acid...

(the sniper arrests comments made me do it )

How can he afford that arsenal on a podiatrists salary? Aren't they one step above chiropractors on the pay scale?

Just think the weapons a surgeon could afford...

Wouldn't it be IRONIC if these Muslim organizations now screamed racism and hate crime and how terrible it is they are targeted for acts of terrorism.

man that would be ironic....

Of course these groups have brought it upon themselves, with their policies, I guess they should just re-evaluate their stance on world issues to see why they are the target of such acts of desperation....(is the sarcasm to heavy?)

But, what do you call a person bigoted against religions?

A bigot.

I didn't think this was hard to understand.

Better title: Podiatrist shoots himself in foot

Submit the story with that title and hope for a repeat then :)

From the "Wife" Article: "He became increasingly agitated with Arabs and Muslims and more vocal about retaliating against Arabs and Muslims who were living in the United States," prosecutors wrote in court documents.

I wonder what his Fark login name is...

Mtman900:
Lots of people here don't give Christians a second chance. Ever. See, you are speaking out against people who equate Muslim to terrorist. I'm merely pointing out that a lot of those same people have a hatred of Christians. The Muslim who is faithfully practicing his beliefs is lumped into the terrorist group. The Christian who is faithfully practicing his beliefs is lumped into the intolerant, sheep-minded, force-your-morals-on-everyone group. Unfortunately, the ones who give both groups a bad name are likely to fall into the strongly predjudiced group.

I can't believe how narrow minded some of you people are. So, every Muslim is now evil and deserves to be blown up. Wow. You people scare me.

Pedantique,

what was that you said yesterday about muslims being the only people wanting to do terrorist acts? :) *pokes pedantic with a stick*

Nice thread yesterday btw.

Jellyfish said it pretty well : It is easy to point as just as violent examples of any religion, so I am not going to bother. People choose to see the examples that support their own prejudices. The muslim extremists choose to only see the violence that the American military propagate around the world, the palestinians choose only to see the violence the Isrealis perpetrate, and the same for the other side of each conflict.

Asshat is as asshat does. What religion they are is incidental.

Nabob:

I am a very tolerant person of all types. I am just trying to point out that there is intolerance on all sides. Sorry if the message was lost.

There are extreme persons of all religions, and no one gives anyone a chance, especially when a flame war is consuming their threads...

"He became increasingly agitated with Arabs and Muslims and more vocal about retaliating against Arabs and Muslims who were living in the United States,"

I wonder what his Fark login name is...

Why hasn't Kinghorse posted yet ? ;)

His opinions are as much fun as foot fungus, there has to be a link ...

Emilykp: That's kind of narrow minded of you.

"He had books on how to make bombs and he was using VCR tapes and walkie-talkies as a means to explode bombs,"

Oh and by the way here's the recipe for mustard gas!

What dumb shiats the media can be sometimes. Plant the idea and the information will get itself to the right hands.

I wouldnt be surprized to see many more organized attempts across the globe by fanatical christian and jewish groups, even nazi's.

A new facism seems to be coming from all sides. Culture wars on the way folks!

I can't say I blame the guy for starting to go "postal". Hell, looking at skanky feet all day would certainly put me over the edge. Having worked (note the PAST tense) in nursing homes, some of those old people's feet are downright nasty....

Baldactor
Actually, I was responding to comments that were posted in this thread. I am sorry if that is narrow minded, although I don't know how. I believe that everyone can have their own opinions but, some of the ones here, and yes, i mean only SOME of them, are scary to me. I never said they were wrong.

what was that you said yesterday about muslims being the only people wanting to do terrorist acts? :)

You won't get my ire up with an intentional misquote -- I'm not that ire-ish.

What I said was that Islam is the only religion I see that's promoting violence against others. And I still say that.

Now, if he is Jewish (for argument's sake), and his rabbi encouraged this in the name of Jehovah and supported by passages from the Talmud, then I'll take back what I said.

Looks like, though, he was just an asshat on his own.

*pokes pedantic with a stick*

I could sue you for that.

Nice thread yesterday btw.

I added some more this morning, but screwed up the HTML (my typing was bad before I mangled tendons in my hand -- now, it's worse). Read it if you care.

I disagree -- if they do what they do in the name of, with the blessing of, or to further their religion.

The Unabomber was a terrorist, but his religion (if any) had nothing to to do with it. Mohammed Atta, on the other hand, is a completely different case, and Islam is not incidental to what he did and why.

Jewish terrorists suck. They always end up getting caught before they can even do it. They should just take up law and leave terrorism to the professionals.

Oh C'mon, everybody knows how to make mustard gas, you can make it with stuff under your sink.

As soon as all of you, Christians, Muslims, e.t.c. realize that god is an invention of man, and not vice versa, then the debates and terror can stop, please.

Required reading:

maybe we should take this news as a good sign. If the government was cracking down harder on Arabs and Muslims like some want, then this guy would probably not have felt the need to take the task on himself. He is just expressing his disgust at how inefficient the government sponsored xenophobia is.

unravel that pretzel

"He had books on how to make bombs and he was using VCR tapes and walkie-talkies as a means to explode bombs," Dennie said.

Once again, I'll ask: How the fark does a VCR blow shiat up?

Just remember that Podiatry is a following of peace and healing, not hatred.

You can't judge an entire profession by a few extremists or eles your a anti-footist.

Goldstein uh? Sounds a bit 1984ish...

"What is it about feet..."

You forgot to include a list of podiatrists that have engaged in similar actions, like the list of muslims from the quote you were mocking. That would have really driven your point home.

Be you man or astroman?

Kerouac, Abox: hahahaha nice.

What I said was that Islam is the only religion I see that's promoting violence against others.

So Isreali Jews don't count? Nor do Irish Ctholics or their Orange-men Prodistant counterparts? How about that godhatesfags.com guy? or the Arian Nation freakshows? How about Slobodan Milosivic(sp?). 'Onward Christian soldiers' anyone?

Islam does not promote violence. Individuals who twist it to their own sick views do.

Open the cassette, rip out guts. Insert explosives, with a pull trigger. Wrap wire of pull trigger around spool. When tape is put in VCR and started, BOOM.

Remind me never to piss off DasCoop!
