Could you describe it more before I devote 30 minutes of my precious, precious time to watching this video? ---

We need to provoke the radicals into coming out of the woodwork just long enough to grab them, stick on them on the next plane flying over Afghanistan, and drop them out of the plane, parachute optional. Yes, you have the freedom to express your discontent, but now you can do it in down-town Kabul, you ungrateful fuckers. ---

The Third Jihad? Does it star Trevor Howard and Osama bin Laden and feature a raga soundtrack played with a zither? ---

> [@Kyla](#): > > Could you describe it more before I devote 30 minutes of my precious, precious time to watching this video? While I am not sufficiently dedicated to actually watch this video, I did have the fortitude to click on the link and read the brief description. Apparently, it’s about radical Islam’s “vision for America” and some sort of cultural jihad they’re waging. Or something. So I think that means that any minute now you should expect to be forced to wear a burqa. ---

Look, you guise, just watch it. It’s not like you are busy if you are on here browsing threads you are barely interested in. tl;dwatch — America, wake the fuck up, and eradicate the cancer killing you from within. A tad radical, but not as controversial as bombing a mall. ---

> [@ivan\_astikov](#): > > Look, you guise, just watch it. It’s not like you are busy if you are on here browsing threads you are barely interested in. Hmmm. **Skeleton10** recommended the video & you seconded him. I think most of us can find more pleasant ways to spend 30 minutes! ETA: Yes, I agree that we ought to be concerned about cancer. I just had my latest mammogram & pap smear. Have you bent over lately? ---

Before I decide to watch something, can you at least tell me what it’s about? If it’s not important enough for you to tell me why I should watch it, it’s not important enough for me to watch it. ---

> [@ivan\_astikov](#): > > Look, you guise, just watch it. It’s not like you are busy if you are on here browsing threads you are barely interested in. Why? The poster in question registered on this board today, spews out a random link with a description not much better than “omg watch this” and I’m supposed to waste a half hour watching some video that he can’t even be bothered to form a cogent argument about? Forget that. (Not to mention I don’t have audio on my work computer…) ---

That’s right **Bridget** , find an episode of Friends to watch. We wouldn’t want you to add any more wrinkles to your forehead. ---

You want a brief description? Some might see it as 30 minutes of fear-mongering, and others might see it as a honest appraisal of the current threat from radical islamites. ---

Yeah, America’s being destroyed from within by all those jihadist mall bombings I somehow have never heard about.
