Need help on a Youtube scare video
This is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3X5hIFXYU

And here is the little blurb my wingnut cousin wrote: "Can you imagine a world that is all like the turmoil in the middle east? Do you think that when the majority of people are islamic that they will offer the same religious tolerance that we shown them?"

I'm thinking of doing a "reply all", and take it over the top. Something along the lines, of "Well, why don't we just start a new crusade and kill all the Muslims so we don't have to worry about making more babies?" Any suggestions for something snappier, more over the top, and more ridiculous?

Thanks!

1. Don't give idiots attention, that's my advice. Don't give them replies, hits or notice.
Ignore them. Pity them. Don't feed the dumbasses.

2. I disagree
I really think it's a mistake to ignore these people. They need to realize that spouting their racist and bigoted views will not be tolerated by society. They need to be shamed at every turn. And I, for one, like doing this for another very good reason: they usually end up taking me off their forward list!

3. Well, I disagree with you, so we'll have to agree to disagree, I guess!
You empower idiots when you give them attention--that's my take.

4. "Is your faith that weak?"
I'd also include a request to be left off all right wing bulk emails, that they're illiterate and offensive. Tell him he's going on block if he sends another one, hit reply all, and then do put him on block if he sends more idiocy.

If he really needs to get in touch with you, he can spring for a stamp or a phone call.

This is the process I've followed for years. Most people complied with my request not to send right wing junk, especially when I've replied rudely and with a reference to Snopes. The rest of them weren't worth keeping.

5. So we should be concerned that we'll no longer be "Christian" nations?
Who cares?

...and as far as a dominant Muslim population doing stuff like implementing Sharia law, let's look at how successful a dominant Christian population has been at making abortion illegal...


People like to be scared. This might be scary to fundie Christians and rednecks, but demographics change and it's no big deal.
