Oh the beauty of it all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something about Arabs and the Children of Israel...so she was telling me how Abraham had 2 sons...Ishmael and Isaac..Peace be Upon them all...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So she said Isaac is considered father of the Israelis and Ishmael peace be upon them all is the father of the Arabs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I casually add.."Yeah coz Sarah is the mother of Isaac and Hajar from Egypt is the mother of Ishmael.." (Is that even the reason? But I just felt like throwing that in there)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She does a double take...kinda like "How the bleeep do YOU know that?!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm like "We believe in those Prophets too"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I throw in some Isa(Jesus) Peace be upon him dialogue and a little of the Virgin Mary..May Allah be pleased with her....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And let me tell you...her reaction was precious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She's said, "We have soooo much in common! It's amazing! We're one people! Argghhh! The media portrays Muslims as if you guys are something else!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I nod my head and sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She looks at me in a totally different light now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt happy at the end.(not coz she looks at me in a different light but because she has learned something new) Thank God for everything.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3362629644912615099-5070372183160116756?l=comlexic.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://comlexic.blogspot.com/feeds/5070372183160116756/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3362629644912615099&amp;postID=5070372183160116756' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3362629644912615099/posts/default/5070372183160116756'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3362629644912615099/posts/default/5070372183160116756'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://comlexic.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-you-believe-in-mary-too.html' title='What?

Whatever they call it, man! I know they dissolved something!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Anyway, and he set the date for October 14, 2008. Very systematic. Our elections had to be before the American one, or else these loyal beavers would be influenced to vote Liberal if Obama were to win (and he did). &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;Speaking of the US elections, the Republicans and Democrats have been campaigning, for nearly 2 years!!(if not more) leading to November 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;. To the point where Osama and McPain have become household names. To the point where poor people in the ghettos, people living under bridges, 106 year old grannies were so active and aware of the US Elections. Dare I add the numerous dogs that sported American flags and other political attire? Nah, I won’t.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;Whereas the little guys to the North, have been campaigning for a grand total of 28-30 ENTIRE days. Can you believe that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;(Sidenote: The longest campaign was 74 days and that was back in 1926. )&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;Anyhow, I’ve literally come across several (more like scores and scores) of Canadians who were so clueless. On October 14 (The Big Election Night) people were more concerned about the Calgary vs. Colorado hockey game and the four other NHL games that were on that night. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I seriously think that Canadian politics is messed up. Not only is it messed up, it’s also screwed up and twisted. Don’t get me wrong, I find it rather comical. It’s somewhat of a bedroom farce really.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;A little brief synopsis of the federal political parties we have here:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;The ones that are actually in Parliament Hill who bicker back and forth:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 72pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;1.&lt;span style=""&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;The Liberal Party of Canada ( these guys are centrists)&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 72pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;2.&lt;span style=""&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;The Conservative Party of Canada ( the right-ists, offspring of Fox News)&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 72pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;3.&lt;span style=""&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;New Democratic Party ( the leftists&lt;b style=""&gt;!)

I’m embarrassed for these imbeciles! &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;However, the neat thing about this supposed “democratic” way of life is that I can create my &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;own party “The Complicated Lexicality Party of Canada”, gather a few supporters, go to Elections Canada, make my case and voila! Before you know it I can be registered and I can campaign and like omg, I can….Oh how exciting is this?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;I have a vision, my friends, that I, Lexicala Complicata, could indeed be the Prime Minister of Canada. Ok, maybe that’s too much, I’ll start slow with mayor of my city and then I can become a Member of the Legislative Assembly and then Member of Parliament and before you know it “TCLPC” will be known all over the world. Yeah right! Oh, well it doesn’t hurt to dream.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;Anyway, to make a long story short, the Conservatives won, another MINORITY government, meaning they have less than 50% of the seats. Thus, the ruling government must work with the opposition parties to ensure a functioning government. The whole point of the elections was to win majority….A billion dollars went down the drain. That’s politics for you. A successful politician is he who promises more and more crap, spends billions of dollars on those non-existent promises, and delivers absolutely nothing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;But hey! "As long as people are willing to accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it."  (Not my quote, I read it from somewhere and it also serves as my facebook status) &lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;not&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/not&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3362629644912615099-3809618881011457800?l=comlexic.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://comlexic.blogspot.com/feeds/3809618881011457800/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3362629644912615099&amp;postID=3809618881011457800' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3362629644912615099/posts/default/3809618881011457800'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3362629644912615099/posts/default/3809618881011457800'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://comlexic.blogspot.com/2008/11/canadian-politics-make-me-yawn_15.html' title='Canadian Politics Make Me Yawn'/><author><name>Lexicala Complicata</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12926081801660305080'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362629644912615099.post-351833665362573081</id><published>2008-11-11T20:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T16:50:17.260-08:00</updated><title type='text'>When a Lawyer Defines Your Rear</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;We all know that lawyers like to make our lives as miserable as they can make it with the use of all their complicated lexicality....So I would like to share this piece with you....Pay good attention to the definition of our "seat"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;big&gt;Perhaps the best way to sound like a lawyer is to throw in as much legal vocabulary as possible.  There are literally thousands of technical terms from which to choose.  Words of Latin and French origin are particularly impressive.  No one will doubt that you are a real member of the bar if you can convincingly bandy about phrases like expunging a lis pendens or quashing a subpoena duces tecum.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;big style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;big&gt;     Lawyers may also have strategic reasons for favoring legalese and the obscurity it engenders.  For instance, an outfit that rents hang gliders to the public may be legally obligated to warn of the dangers of the sport, but at the same time would not want to discourage potential customers.  Or a department store might wish to give out credit on one-sided or even oppressive terms, but might fear that consumers would balk if they realized the truth.  Convoluted and incomprehensible legalese is the obvious solution.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;big style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;big&gt;     Perhaps a more legitimate justification for the longwindedness of the profession derives from its adversarial nature.  Virtually any legal document is liable, at some point in its existence, to be picked apart by an opponent eager to exploit a loophole or ambiguity in hopes of wiggling out of an agreement or contesting a will.  Legislation is no exception; almost any statute will be subjected to intense scrutiny by lawyers trying to poke holes in it on behalf of their clients.  Those who draft such documents must anticipate these attacks.  Therefore, they obsessively try to cover every base, plug every loophole, and deal with every remotely possible contingency.  The result is ever longer, denser, and more complicated prose.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;big style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;     "Covering all the bases" is no doubt the explanation for a highly contorted definition of buttocks in a Florida ordinance aimed at reducing the amount of exposed flesh in public places.  To require dancers to cover their buttocks, without more, would only invite them to skirt the rule by wearing the skimpiest covering possible.  The county thus deemed it prudent to define buttocks as precisely as it could:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/big&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;the area at the rear of the human body (sometimes referred to as the gluteus maximus) which lies between two imaginary lines running parallel to the ground when a person is standing, the first or top of such lines being one-half inch below the top of the vertical cleavage of the nates (i.e., the prominence formed by the muscles running from the back of the hip to the back of the leg) and the second or bottom line being one-half inch above the lowest point of the curvature of the fleshy protuberance (sometimes referred to as the gluteal fold), and between two imaginary lines, one on each side of the body ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;big style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The basic intent of the drafters is clear.
