But I think it would be nice if they 'fast' with their bad mannerisms especially driving, and not just fast by abstaining from eating and drinking for hours in a day. I haven't come online for so long due to bad road accident. Thank God, I am still alive.

The post I replied to earlier was suggesting that non-muslims should also fast in order to attain the same level of piousness as people who do. If you read between the lines, you notice that he is subtly implying that non-muslims have no consideration for the "little african kids" because they don't know what it's like not to have access to food.
My bull tasty detector went off, so I chipped in to slam him in the face with the sledge hammer of fallacy.

Don't you hate people who write or say "errr" or "uuuh" before they speak?
You don't need to mimic a sound while your five good neurons crank out the next malformed sentence from your cretaceous skull, numb nuts.
