I propose to create a Great Wall in the Atlantic so Americans can't pass.
Krake, give us the money please.

Which reminds me of something important to Portugal. The next time Portugal sinks into a monetary cesspool, it might benefit from ISIL practices.

Quote
Isil is the richest terrorist organisation in history.
Over the past six months, since the group began sweeping across eastern Syria and into Iraq, experts estimate that its leaders have gained access to £1.2 billion in cash – more than the most recent recorded annual military expenditure of Ireland.

"Isil is not out in the economic boondocks of Afghanistan or hidden in deserts and caves," said Paul Sullivan, a Middle East specialist at Georgetown University in Washington. "Isil is developing in a vital oil, gas and trade area of the world. It can grab as it expands."
Their greatest financial triumph came when they captured the Iraqi town of Mosul in June and looted the city's banks. Reports at the time suggested the group's fighters may have made off with £240 million, though the Iraqi government later said the heist did not occur.

You're not important to us and even less your memories. You simply don't exist.
You are behind Somalians in what regards to our attention. Get back in the queue to the place you belong, there's a thousand of others in front of you. Thank you :)

Or anything else. Breathe not by yourself. Depend on the mighty awesomesauce of Allah!

Now if we can only encourage more of this:

Now is Ramadan.
Muslims don't eat during the day for an entire month. What surprises me the most is they also don't drink.
Not even water.

There's no way to convince Christians to do something alike. Not even close.
A matter of attitude.

The Orthodox observe various degrees of fasting. Not as serious as Muslims or Easterners, but occasionally close enough.

Back in '04 my housemates got this idea to challenge each other to a fast. I agreed. Yet somehow when they found out I'd drunk water they claimed I broke the pact. I'm not a freaking Muslim, now am I? Unless otherwise specified fasting means abstaining from food, not abstaining from water.

I was taught that fasting means abstaining from something with a purpose, by free will. You may choose to fast one whole day, or only the breakfast. You may choose to fast avoiding meat for some time. You may even choose to fast avoiding TV.
That's my preferred one.

Abstaining with a purpose is a pleonasm, like a wet river or running with speed. :P I can't speak for Portuguese, but fasting means abstaining from food and potentially water, or at least to limit them. Fasting practices might combine fasting with other forms of abstinence, but other forms of abstinence by themselves aren't fasting.

Yep.
A Catholic fasting it's not eating meat at Fridays, only fish. Also during Easter.
Not too many people keep on doing it.

I only fast if there is a big deluge of rain on one of my Order's big parades and I am too tired and wet to be bothered to have much. :hat:

I enjoy football when Glasgow rangers beats Glasgow Celtic.

Mind you I did celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne (12th July) when Belfrager's pal King James got belted by a Protestant champion.

Well I like the reading although if someone hid the Pope I might be passingly hypocritical for a wee while.

Hmm, is Matthew 22:39 just being thrown out the window here?
Jesus Christ once said there's no patience for such ignorants. Being son of God, God made him to be crucified.
Glad I'm not The son of God.

By the way, Jesus Christ has also kicked out the sellers of the Temple. Nowadays known as "protestants".
Ain't modern consumerist, idiotic, protestant theology so much against Jesus Christ?? And yet such creatures dares to speak in his behalf.
A matter of attitude.

Is not modern Portugal a "seller at the Temple…"? People that won't or can't support themselves, so they ask alms. Yet they're too proud to admit it, so they claim that they're entitled — because they were once the top dog?
Woof!

Haha. Now how utterly funny that a resident and strong traditional Papist comes up with that comical thing about Jesus throwing the would-be Protestants out of th Temple, eh?!

On a more practical note of the  in bashing Protestants for being anti-Christ? Now what Church is more error stricken and false than Rome!It has all sorts of head shaking rituals, practices that are far from basic Christian. The history of the Vatican has been one of various things such as corruption either hidden or historically well known and as corrupt as hell. Princes of the Church and making the Church part political and religious. The poky hats came from Babylon a capital of Paganism nonsense and the beads for prayers used by pagan religions before Christianity . Some of those same Pagans had a Queen of Heaven and so it goes on across the world with the ambassadors of the Vatican across the world.  Would also think that Romanism was always good at wanting to dominate poor or uneducated places. so will freely and honestly give you that one.  In the 1300's it stopped priests from being married another load of cobblers and instead ever since that century widespread sexual corruption with mistresses and their offspring. Mind you they also had popes into it as an example. Still going on too by the way. All the heavy ritualism i mention the demagogy and part paganism brought in in earlier times is as close to the simplicity of the man from Galilee as me being a secret yank.

Woo-hoo he Church of Rome would have a deep problem it Jesus arrived today as he would be flummoxed by what is done in his name.  :blush:  :-[

ps. Thanks for the opportunity dear Belfrager
