Yes, it is sad, the day >3000 innocent lives were destroyed by religious zealots. This is the one thing I despise of my religion: It has a HUGE number of fanatical extremists who beleive that the west is the cause of all their problems and anyone with white skin is "a filthy infidel, enemy of god and must be sent to hell on a holy jihad"

I share in the feeling of sadness and I feel somewhat responsible. The bad thing is that here 9/11 came and went and nobody noticed. The government plays down 9/11 becuase it's a sensative issue. What's more, at my local mosque there were like, 50-something muslims who were REVELLING in 9/11! They were saying (all this in Malay of course) "Today is the day we remember in our islamic history as a day of great victory! Brothers, unite and celebrate the day 3000 enemies were wiped away with the blazing fires of hell, and those great heroes who the evil west call "terrorists" died in our name and have become martyrs!" Thankfully the cops showed up and detained the lot of them for disturbing the peace. It really sickened me to the core...

Let's remember the 3000 lives lost on this day 8 years ago, the day when the words "islam" and "terrorist" became synonymous and a great atrocity was committed

I find it awful, but not just because of the towers. I also find it terrible that a whole religion almost became boycotted because of a few extremists. A few people at my school are awful racists (Not infront of anyone, of course) and some of the comments they make about days like this one... well, I wouldn't feel comfortable repeating some of the things they say.

But you shouldn't feel responsible, Zear.

Hmm, I shouldn't be, I know, but I guess it's the collective guilt all us muslims who have not been misguided feel. It's so sad that now if I went to a western country, I couldn't use my middle name without fear of being treated differently, That's why I go under the name "Raez I. Azman" even though my full name has a nice meaning in arabic, sigh

I guess so. Mind if i ask what it means??

"Raez Islam" translates to islamic leader. A tad bit ironic considering that I'm bisexual (which is a big no-no) but I do tend to take on leadership roles whenever I'm in a group situation

A good leader, yet another thing we have in common XD

And I like it! Wish my name meant something good, But as far as i know Raime Newman isn't even in the English language. XD

What is it then, nordic? germanic? I know mine's arabic

I don't really know. I'm named after the director Sam Raimi, who directed the Spiderman Films, but also the old hercules films and... ahem... evil dead movies XD

Well, that's cool. If I ever have kids I think I'll name them "Husky" or "Fox". Seems cliche but I like it. Either that or give them very european names like Frederick, Hans, Heikki, or Jacques

Nice names. Why european names exactly? In general, we're kinda boring.

I always liked Coda. As far as I know, A coda is the end of a song when the repeated melody (Riff, Verse, whatever) is played once more but in a slower, drawn out way to end the song. I really like the name, I think It's pretty.

But I'm not even sure if i want kids, to be honest...

I like european names. To us asians, they sound very exotic. I'd like to have kids, but if I settled down with a guy then...yeah

Yeah, I see. XD

Funny how our convo got from 9/11 to here... Wow...

Yes, it's weird. Now, for a twist of irony, let's talk about how out convos often can tangent off to completely unrelated topics!

ARRRGH! It's a curse!

But i can't stop! XD And yes, let us talk about it! You first! XD

Ok, uh..........oh shoot I can't think of anything Oh! I got something! Monkey stew!!!!! I dunno, lol

Fish on Eggplants.


Ah, this is my kinda surrealistic humour. XD

Digital Watches are a neat idea :-P

That is true, definitely. I love digital watches, but I currently own an analog one given to me by my dad. It's a Timex Perpetual Calendar, it tells the time and date, and correctly changes the date depending on the month - Like february for example.
What watch do you have???

Umm, an analog one? As in one of classic swiss watch looking ones? Complete with rolex-sweepish second hand! It's not real, but it's a very high quality fake (200 ringgit or 40 pounds)

Umm, you do know I'm quoting hitchhiker's, right?

Yeah, I get it. God, I love that book. And the film! And the old TV series!

Unbeleivable...it's worse than i imagined. These two can go on for so long with their conversations. Shows what good friends these are, and my lack of friends - Marvin

I never got to see the old tv series, since I don't live in england and I think that was before my time

I have - or had - the whole series on old Memorex-e180 videos, back when recording was normal XD
It followed the story more accurately, but it included The Restaurant at the End of the Universe as well as Hitchikers.

Dude, I'm sorry man but i gotta go have dinner soon. But no school tomorrow, so I should be online at some point tomorrow! Speak again soon, buddy!

Bye! Lok foward to it!

Individuality, it's the best thing about humanity.

mhmm, i totally agree, i just like to wear what i want to wear ya know, i think it looks interesting and cool X3 i like to be my own person, not to be like everyone else, i just want some Individuality, but to bad people don't think that way, there pretty cruel to people like that

Well, if you don't mind my language, Fuck em! Let them think what they think, you are your own person, you like how you are, and you shouldn't care what the hell anyone else thinks of you. :D
