#1 OK, Seafarious, let's do a thought experiment...

"You kafir! I had to breathe air in the same room with you! I have to restore my dignity! Off with your head!"

Hmmmm

"Mustafa, I have to talk to you". "Yes, mother".
"You are under age. I saw Fatima this morning approach a man in the market. I feel so humiliated. You have to restore the family dignity! You have to kill your siter, Mustafa!"

Let's see, we have humiliation there -- a perceived illegitimate violation justifying counter-violence; dignity is there too.

Lets not humiliate the izzies, and off ourselves beforehand so we all can keep our equal dignity, eh?

Seafarious, it's not about humiliation. That is just a projected perception. It is about power.

#2 USDA Choice Moonbattery, Seafarious! This stuff is so warm and fluffy that you could insulate your house with it and cut 25% off your winter heating bill.

#3 Right, Steve, it's a bunny fluff incubator, if it were not so sheepishly dangerous.

#4 Aw, heck. I hoped that this would involve seminars by "Miss Heather", the dominatrix.
