No, it's Duracell I'm referring to. Of course, being intellectually naive --
The Energizer Bunny is the marketing icon and mascot of Energizer batteries in North America. It is a pink toy rabbit wearing sunglasses and blue and white striped sandals that beats a bass drum bearing the Energizer logo. It is a parody of the preexistent Duracell Bunny, still seen in Europe and Australia. It has been appearing in television commercials in North America since 1988. In Australia and the United Kingdom the mascot for Energizer is instead a muscle-bound anthropomorphic battery. The mascot is promoted as being able to continue operating indefinitely, or at least much longer than similar toys using rival brands' batteries.The American Energizer commercials, produced by DDB Chicago Advertising, originally began as a parody of TV advertisements for rival Duracell. In the Duracell ads, a set of battery-powered drum-playing toy rabbits (Duracell Bunnies) gradually slow to a halt until only the toy powered by a copper-top battery remains active. In Energizer's parody, the Energizer Bunny then enters the screen beating a huge bass drum and swinging a mallet over his head. The criticism was that Duracell compared their batteries with carbon-zinc batteries, and not similar alkaline batteries like Energizer.
Should have looked at this before trying to play cute
Do you have any examples that I am aware of where talking has had a positive result because your Muslim terrorist continues to kill, kidnap, etc.
She even pointed out there was a vacancy for a teacher in her old job.
Doesn't make me wrong though, unless somebody had previously compared themselves to an Energiser bunny and I replied with the Duracell remark.
But in terms of what Degreez was trying to do, which was insinuate I got the bunnies mixed up and invalidate me on that, he was bang wrong.
But still, carry on insulting and being aloof the pair of you. If there are extremist Muslims to talk about, I'll be concentrating on those.

Suck on those.
In fact, before the war here, there was a wilful ignorance of uncomfortable facts too. Churchill tried to warn of Nazi aggression, a creed based on subjugation and supremacism, but was put down by a succession of Prime Ministers. Politicians like Lloyd George were feted and fooled by Hitler. Churchill's whistleblowing of Hitler's conspiracy to wage war was smeared and announcements were made that the New Germany was peaceful and honest, whilst constant apologies were made to the German Embassy for the inconvenience.
Sound familiar?
Many people were at least vaguely aware and alarmed but they did not want to hear. Being more trusting of politicians in those days, they were more than prepared to take their words at face value that the Nazis and fascists were people they could do business with and negotiate war away. 'Not all Germans are Nazis', it had been said by a few, 'and most Nazis don't want war.'
Again, does that sound familiar?
"The main argument towards the [Nazi] threat was: 'It must modify; these are extremes which surely will modify.' Of course, many German Jews took the same view as the British government on this... But when the dangers actually worsened, the people who had argued 'it will surely modify,' didn't say, 'Wait a minute. My premise is now destroyed.' Instead, they said, 'This can't really be that grave a threat. This can't be truly an evil force,' and, 'Well, it's not really what it seems."
The idea that "Islam is an expansionist ideology that is bent on taking over the world and imposing its belief system on a global scale" and that Muslims must be deported en masse, quarantined, monitored 24/7, etc... are the exact same arguments that the Nazi's used against Jews. I hate invoking the Nazi's because of its distortive effects on history, but seriously they are exactly the same. Replace "Muslims" with "Jews" and you have the exact same arguments.
Never mind Gardener, the opposition's holohoaxing and one-way fury against whistleblowers is the best oppertunity there is to speak above their heads and address other readers with more open minds.
As with the entrenched defendants at Nuremberg, the more they deny the obvious, the more comprehensive a dossier of evidence can be presented.

What I find interesting is the way those who call others "Nazis" so often resort to a brand of turnspeak where it is actually the vigorous opposition to Nazi-like beliefs being categorized as such rather than the actual beliefs. Now, I don't put all Muslims in the same boat, but the level of antisemitism among European Muslims IS extremely high, and the huge upswing in antisemitic violence in Europe is a direct byproduct of such hatred.

There has been an uprising of antisemitism in some parts of Europe, there's also a huge upswing in "islamophobia" and hatred of all things islamic as can be seen throughout this thread. What's interesting is whether we are fooled into thinking that a distrust or hatred of Islam or muslims means that Jews in Europe are not targetted anymore or whether the targetting of Jews is done by muslims alone. Do we think it's OK to hate one group and not another?
I personally think some people and some groups have ulterior motives and will switch back to old hates once the time is right.
"Fear the outsider", "hate the different" is what I see in this thread. It's easy to spot the hatespeech and hate thoughts against the muslim, far more tricky to see that beneath that wily silvertongued exterior lies hatred for others too.
The Haaretz article is a very good read.
I don't care that some Israelis see it as a "liberal" paper, it's an uncomfortable read for any European and I agree with a lot of what's said because at the heart of it - hating one outsider because his or her religion is "different and can never be part of our culture" is an old charge that can be and is so easily being used against Jews in Europe.
I personally think some people and some groups have ulterior motives and will switch back to old hates once the time is right.
"A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate. If he penetrates and the child is harmed then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however would not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl's sister."
"It is forbidden to consume the excrement of animals or their nasal secretions. But if such are mixed in minute proportions into other foods their consumption is not forbidden."
Then you'd better call the previous Labour Government in Britain hateful too!
I'll deport 4,000 foreign criminals by end of year, Brown promises - Times Online
Deportation: the facts - Immigration in UK - Foreigners in UK*-*Immigration in UK - Foreigners in UK
More recently, new laws were passed to deport foreign criminals. This segment details Deportation as contained under the Immigration Act 1971
It's a pretty sad Left which considers the deportation of convicted Islamic extremists (foreign criminals) an act of ethwic kwenthing!
Being locked up for telling an Inconvenient Truth is pretty totalitarian. And if he's joking then it can be pretty confusing to debate with people who print what they don't really think.
And as for calling people I disagree with names - coming from your class on this board, that's rich! Typical though.
And how does deporting the likes of Abu Hamza, helpmates and supporters affect innocent Muslims? Other than the sight of a possible loved one booted back to Pakistan, nothing really.
What makes you think I give half a **** about Labour?
When did rahti call for this?
I'll give the fear-mongering a pass.
Forced deportation of Muslims is ethnic cleansing. You support the forced deportation of Muslims. Ergo, you support ethnic cleansing.
This is simple; even you should be able to understand it.
