Try This

Here is an experiment.
Take the thinnest paper back book you have.
Toss in the toilet.
Does it "Flush"?

Does it Clog?
Does it float to the top?
Or does it flush?

Why is this so obvious?
Why has the left-wing press not caught on?

HELLO!

[But I could be wrong...]

My toilet's better than yours

So there's Intel's 100-core chip helping your toilet examine the morning delivery for signs of blood or god knows what else. The powerful toilet can call the doctor and schedule an appointment if it notices suspicious stool - checking, of course, with your online calendar for an appropriate time. Or, should you collapse right then and there, the toilet can call for an ambulance. Brilliant!

All kidding aside, such a toilet could be helpful and even witty. Who wouldn't want a reminder like, "Easy, big boy. The 10 oz cut will do next time." in the morning. Or even, "You've got mail and a herpes outbreak."

It easily took care of the latest National Review, See, I Told You So by Rush Limbaugh, and Who's Looking Out for You? by Bill O'Reilly with a powerful ka-woosh. Didn't even have to shake the handle afterwards. Still smelled like sh!t.

Then it phoned in a spinach and feta pizza along with a subscription for the Sunday Times.

So what is your point?

Is it possible to put a Koran in a toilet?
Is doing so against military prison regulations?
Why hasn't the right-wing press caught on?

Also, would you please construct more useful thread titles. The board is much easier to use if all the threads are labeled clearly.

I think it is absurd how the reports are insinuating that there's an important distinction between the Muslim holy book being torn up, kicked around, thrown into the toilet, etc. vs. actually being flushed down the toilet. How does it matter what the percieved desecration was?
It's been reported that the policy of the jailers at Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, etc. is to do whatever they can to humiliate and rattle the Muslim prisoners in hopes I guess of extracting more and better information. But there are only five substantiated cases? How stupid do they think we are? It's pretty obvious that given the policy of humiliation and given the importance of the Quran to the prisoners, desecrating the Quran would be one of the standard "motivating" tools in the interrogators' toolbox.

The whole thing - rounding up men merely for being of a certain age or from a certain geographic area, bursting into homes in the middle of the night and dragging people away, sending people all over the world, holding them without charge, torturing them, and all of the unbelievable hypocracy that's going along with it maskes a mockery out of the whole so called "war on terror".

Skepticism only matters when it supports your political viewpoint, right?

Hey, if you think details are unimportant, just say so.

If these are your real concerns, why waste your time worrying about what may or may not have happened to a book? Pursue the real charges and let the stupid nonsense go.

Actually the official policy is to handle the Koran with respect. Now, think about this for a moment Demon. If a Koran was desecrated, and there was not official policy, would a crime have been comitted?

Which leads us to the larger picture. Destroying a Koran is not against the law in the US. I can go buy one right now, and walk down the street tearing out the holy words of Allah and blowing my nose on them. As long as the book in question belongs to me, and I don't litter, what enforceable US state or local law have I broken??

Personally I find it more acceptable to desecrate a Koran than to harm a person. It's the opposite though in the nations that enforce Sharia. That book has more rights than a human does there. That's a BS way of life IMHO!

That's some fancy toilet paper huh? But it's not nearly as easy on the arse as Charmin.

And that's really the crux. Those who are rioting are those who would give more rights to a book than to a human being.
