The night is black
Without a moon.
The air is thick and still.
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill.

Features distorted in the flickering light,
The faces are twisted and grotesque.
Silent and stern in the sweltering night,
The mob moves like demons possesed.
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right,
Confident their ways are best.

The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will.
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill.

They say there are strangers who threaten us,
Our immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theaters and bookstore shelves.
Those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves.

Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand...


One of my all time favourite songs.

Finally i think somebody gets it. Some people need to lighten up imo. Its, imo, a form of humor known as sarcasm & irony. I'm of german decent and I love making jokes about it. However, if you have a tight A and don't get my jokes or appreciate them i couldn't care less. A person does have to know his audience though....
Is it just me or were there a few undertones of racism?
Sure are a lot of web tough guys quick to threaten and show how violent they "say" they would like to be. :(

I unserstand sarcasm and as i said i can take a joke we have a laugh at work. I was not offended by what he said and yes i see it as he was joking about his own religon and probably joking about how people may perceive him. Everyone one is aloud there own opinion we are all adults thats wy i asked what peoples take is on it all i said was it was abit far. I'm thinking if i went to work with a kkk hood on yes its funny but it would be a bit to far for a joke kind of thing.

In the end it is about how uncomfortable it made you feel, regardless of race, and you should report it to a supervisor.
Someone will let him know that what he did was not acceptable in the workplace. This way he's educated and knows there's a process available to everyone. My company is quite large and anything like this is dealt with by HR in a calm, politically correct and documented fashion.

Try having a belt buckle shaped like a cack and tell a female co worker that this baby is for you and see how far that goes for you. You''ll have sexual harrassment charges coming down on you faster than you can imagine. In my opinion this isn't much different. He may have been kidding but it is in poor taste.
