This was a direct admission that he's (pretending) to be Bin Laden.

I think that's a bit harsh on Mr Bean.
As for 'worst terrorist ever' - interesting view - by what measure is Bin Laden (I'm assuming you mean him) is the 'worst terrorist ever'? Is it numbers killed, or his stated goals - which is to have foreign troops leave Saudi Arabia etc?
'Ever' is quite a long time.
If you go to the Religion forum you'll find that there are Biblical war crimes where 32,000 virgins were enslaved by Israelites after they massacred all the men, babies, boys etc - so arguably, this act of terrorism is worse than Bin Laden's 'reign of terror'?

I was just having a tongue-in-cheek go at the 'worst terrorist ever' statement, and any post that mentions Mr Bean can't be too 'heavy' by definition.![]()
(And, aren't I duty bound to advertise the fun and games we're having down in the Religion forum??)

Ahhhww the grown-up Sage almost starts crying here...![]()
Its not your avatar that is losing its credibility. Its the 'man' behind it that gets people thinking. Hence the satire surrounding your Osama avatar.
What a joke you are.
ing bias. Somebody has to provide some balance on this forum. After all, there's nothing untrue in what I say.RobbyG wrote:You trigger those comments with youring bias. Somebody has to provide some balance on this forum. After all, there's nothing untrue in what I say.
And you know it! but can't stand it! Now thats the difference

What I quote is from respected sources most of the time. Either checked by my own vigorous reading or by independant journalists in the Western media.
I just summarize. You spread your bias. Thats a big difference Sage.
