I guess for some of us, sometimes it's easier to criticize our own culture than it is to criticize other cultures, maybe?

That makes no sense whatsoever.

Sure it does. If we don't scrutinize our own bad behavior, then we end up scrutinizing everyone else's bad behavior and it usually turns into a brawl. If everyone in the world tried to improve themselves first instead of focusing on others, the world would probably have considerably fewer wars and strife. Trying to fix other people's problems usually only creates more problems.

It still has nothing to do with what I asked.

I thought you were asking why "wokies" give Christianity more crap than Islam. I was giving you a possible explanation. My bad.

She's having a really, really bad day Gazza (worse than usual). Mind you don't end up with a German sausage shoved up yer arse.

Compared to our climate situation or a giant asteroid killing us all, a sausage up my ass sounds more reasonably bearable. God bless the creator of this fucked up world. Oh wait, can God bless himself?

You have a pet donkey? What's its name? Sounds like an awful thing to do to a donkey.

In a previous life, as the Life of Brian I followed Jesus into Jerusalem on a wonky donkey. His was normal, but mine liked beer more than me so I ended up calling him Judas (always stole my beer). Fuck I hated that donkey, you could shove a sausage up his arse if you wanted (actually, I did turn him into sausages and burgers) Jesus loved the burgers, but once I told him he was eating Judas he got really angry, and now I have to spend eternity with Lucifer (accefaline).
