Brad Pitt & Barack Obama are Related

Hello and thank you Jill, African Girl and Lilian. I am thinking the same way bdj is. We learned so much today, not from an article or distant source, but directly from those among us who are best able to describe different religious experiences.

Some days I shake my head when we get stuck with a dj-type series of “contributions”, and question why I take the time. I guess the reason I do and you do, too, is it isn’t just a gossip blog at this point. It has become a cultural exchange, often fascinating.

The information shared by AG and Lilian is as pertinent and timely as anything we are likely to study in a class or see on a news programs where religions are examined, yet it is far more meaningful to us because we can trust them. What they say we know to be authentic, and there is no better way to learn than from experience.

What other blog can boast that posters “Come for gossip about Brad and Angelina but stay for cultural enrichment”? Ha!

Hilary doesn’t represent change…She’s the same ol’ same ol’ with a softer voice and a femine pant suit…hahahahah…her ‘balls’ are too small to attempt that feminine perspective women have…she’s used to playing by the boy’s rules and she’s good at it…but she isn’t different…if she’s elected, then, she can offer Papa McCain the secretary of defense or secretary of homeland security…he only wants to be Commander in Chief…He isn’t offering or interested in given America or the world anything differently than we’ve been given the past 8 years…real change…Obama/Richardson ‘08.

Tijencim, iyilik saglik be canim.

guli, many happy, healthy years to your son and to your family!

One more thing — there is no such organization as “the Jihad”. Jihad is an Arabic word meaning struggle. It’s usually interpreted as the struggle to attain inner knowledge and trying to live a life that is pleasing to God. It’s the loonies in Islam who interpret “pleasing to God” as killing all non-Muslims. And the loonies don’t represent Islam any more than the right-wing wackos who bomb abortion clinics in the name of Jesus represent Christianity in America.

Thank you, Jill, but there really is no need to tell me stuff I already know. I think you would have concluded that if you have read my posts.

Orchid, if you already knew those letters were ridiculous, what was the point of posting them?

Anyway. The anti-Muslim hysteria is getting totally ridiculous. When I see stuff like this:

Only
Blacks
And
Muslims
Allowed,

I tend to get just a tad p*ssed off. You can push stupidity only so far.

Brad Films at Capitol

Brad Pitt was seen filming the new Terrence Malick movie Friday inside the Capitol. The notoriously private Malick keeps his productions untra hush hush, so not even the studios will dicuss “Tree of Life” with the media. But the actor and a sprawling film crew at the landmark were conspicously making a movie.

A witness said Pitt was sitting on the floor of the Rotunda and that filming took place in the Senate. Security was thick, and trailers were clustered on streets near the Capitol.

“Tree of Life” has been shooting since Feb. 28 in Smithville. The film co-stars Sean Penn and is set for a 2009 release.

I would rather see pix of The bigger and better actor Sean Penn.

The Daily Mail says that Angie is constantly tired because she has to be in Texas with Brad Pitt. Uh! Give the woman a break and let her stay in one place … like Paris. Hello any Angie fans would know that she would rather be in Paris or Africa for her pregnancy. like … DUUUUH! can you imagine her tattooing Texas on her arm ? I don’t think soooo.

She is pregnant and has four kids. She must be tired. I think most if not all people would rather be in Paris, but I’m sure she also wants to be with her family. When she is working, he is there for her, and now he is working, she’s there for him. The family is together. I think it’s wonderful. Maybe sometime after the babies are born and can be left with nannies, they will take off for a break, just the two of them.

And you actually believe what you read in The Daily Mail? Get out of here!!! Didn’t think any true idiots like you still existed !!

Angie is loving it in Texas. She and Brad just spendt 2.5 days together on the Texas Coast while he filmed, sans the kids, a little prebabymoon. While Brad works Angie and the kids are able to get out and around without paps following them 24/7, there are excellent medical facilities in Austin, lots to see and do as a twosome and as a family, near NOLA, good weather, friendly people, and family all together as usual.

Angie only enjoyed being pregnant and in Paris and Namibia because Brad was there to experience the pregnancy with her. Same reason she (and Brad) is enjoying Texas. Brad’s words, “being in Canada in a log cabin while filming AOJJ with Angie pregnant was MAGICAL”.

#514 oh so true, what movies did you see Brad’s performances in that led you to search back through old Just Jared threads, find us and share this opinion with us?

For a country that was based on religious tolerance we certainly have NONE when it comes time to put our money where our mouths are.

I am very dissapointed at the shameless intolerance this country is showing towards Muslims. However, what’s even more surprising to me is how some fans of the JPs, a family of many different religions/backgrounds/cultures, are also showing intolerance towards Islam.

Religions don’t kill people. People kill people. Some people use religion as an excuse to kill other people, and that’s not fair. But neither is assuming that all followers of that religion are the same violent radicals, because believe me, they’re not. ;)

All Hail, AG! She rocks! Er…except for that Porgie fixation…

I just want to add one thing - I know CHRISTIANS of different denominations in the same house who can’t get along with each other. Blathering on about whether or not Obama went to a Muslim school when he was freaking SIX YEARS OLD is just plain stupid. I’ve got a cousin that went to a Catholic school her whole life…girl turned out to be the biggest ho in the neighborhood.

All this talk of whether or not Obama ever practiced the Muslim faith is silly. The man isn’t a Muslim now and even if he was the Earth is somehow still managing to turn. For a country that was based on religious tolerance we certainly have NONE when it comes time to put our money where our mouths are. If Obama were Jewish then people would be trippin’ over that as well. Get over it. This is supposed to be a country based on freedom from religious persecution, yet Obama is being dissected for his religious beliefs. America thy name is Hypocrite.
——-
We think it’s silly, but if he ever was a Muslim, and apparently he was (read the links I posted) then it makes him, in the eyes of Muslims, a murtadd (apostate).
Do we care? Does it matter? No, but he is running for the office of president, and if he wins, ‘this status, clearly, would have large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world.’
Sounds very in-the-past to me. This is 2008! Why don’t posters who are Muslim jump in here, and tell us this is much ado about nothing.

Btw, I understand he lived in Indonesia for five years, when he was six to eleven. The question is, why has he found it necessary to try and cover up the facts of his life in Indonesia.

Does Brad Pitt pay you to post this crap ?

Yeah, y’all tried to say the same thing when she was looking anorexic for a while. “she is so happy and is glowing with love for brad.” the whole time she’s looking frail, unhappy, and sick. uhhhh huuuuuuu!
