Muslims in the UK are now allowed to throw shoes as part of protesting. As a supplication to Muslim sensibilities, it’s now not considered violent and instead a “ritual form of protest.” I thought Europe liked to consider itself civilized, but it’s kind of hard to have that when you tolerate certain segments of your population behaving like irate toddlers. If an American moved to UK, would he be allowed to shoot a shoe-thrower in the face, because culturally that’s what we do?
If a society can’t every once in a while tell some dimwits, “Your culture is stupid; stop it now,” then it might as well just roll over and die. Why should we care what culture people have in backwards, violent countries? Civilized people don’t throw shoes. Hell, grown up people don’t throw shoes. I’m not even sure monkeys would throw shoes. I would hope in America we would fire people out of a cannon into the sea before saying shoe-throwing is perfectly cromulent.
I’m not even sure monkeys would throw shoes.
But monkeys are more civilized than the idiots in britania. and of course muslems have not evolved enough to be considered monkeys. Kinda like your muslem president.
I think you were just looking for an excuse to use the word cromulent.
I’m sure this will end well. I’m certain they won’t pull any Richard Reid-type stunts with their shoes or anything like that.
“What’s the problem? You said I could throw my shoes; you never said I couldn’t put a grenade in it first…”
Oddjob threw a hat. Cut the head off a statue. Damnedest thing. Is that a quasi-Asian thing to do? Or was he Samoan?
Women throw shoes. Ask Eddie Murphy.
Random Task…he threw a shoe
“…I’m not even sure monkeys would throw shoes.”
Uh…they are, however, known to throw, umm, other matter. If given the choice, I’d rather dodge a strappy sandal than a steaming turd.
Good point, Angry White Woman. I’m going to step out of character for a moment and be serious. In the Navy we had to wear steel toed boots. You could seriously hurt someone if you hurled one of those bad boys at someone’s head. So to hell with cultural sensitivity. If I get hit by a shoe, I’m throwing a punch.
Well Mr. Sailor, Sir, I like your thinkin’.
But shoe throwing embiggens us all!
Better to throw a punch at a turd than throw a turd in the punch.
I’m tired of Muslims.
But Daneil that Embiggening is anti-cromulent. Lets not embolden embiggening unless it is cromulentvantagous.
I am all in favor of Bold Biggens, but an embiggened bulligerant is bound to be barefoot.
These people fought several wars against those other, backwater people. They even made movies about those wars.
It’s interesting that the homosexuality of the English accent has declined at the same rate of their empire’s fall. Very interesting.
I think I read that someone had thrown a ski boot. I’d hate to be hit by one.
Doesn’t the Koran permit the execution of apostates and infidels? Would this also be protected speech in the U.K.?
Throwing rotten tomatoes is a time honored ritual form of protest, can we do that too?
Or maybe dinosaurs…
Throwing a shoe just does not have the same impact as throwing a punch.
We are going to need the right to throw shoes if they get their way with gun control. I wear a size 13 workboot. It will do some damage.
At the rate the UK is rushing into dhimmitude, I expect soon it will be OK for Muslims to decapitate their oposition and bounce the heads around like a volleyball. I think they call it “Kufarball” or something. Muslims may be irate toddlers, but they are nasty, “I Kill You” type irate toddlers.
My shoe ia at least a size .38. I prefer my shoe size to a size .45. Keds, Adidias, Smith & Wesson, great shoe makers.
They throw a shoe, you pull a gun.
They send one of yours to the first aid clinic, you send one of theirs to a dustpan.
Why a dustpan? Because you can’t send radioactive ashes to a morgue.
Of course the Chicago Way under Obama is a little different, I wonder how that version works?
“Of course the Chicago Way under Obama is a little different, I wonder how that version works?”
You’ll have to wait until they dredge the river of it’s former “residents”.
Monkeys throw feces. Muslims throw shoes. Same level of discourse.
First time I’m hit with a shoe someone is going to find themselves on the wrong end of an assault charge. Shoe, fist it’s all the same to me, cash in my hand and money in my pocket. So Adula better have a really good job.
