Come one I have been tortured enough reading this thread on the topic of dyslexia. Ish nailed the Mother. Dyslexia is an inability to read. Case closed.

>>>>he actually tried to be coherent, but dyslexia or no, he is certifiable.....<<<<

If you think he is incoherent now you should read a few of his posts before I first nailed him on March 3rd. His posts were all a complete mess before that. He has put a lot more effort into making readable sentences since then. He does correct his spelling but when he uses words wrong the spell checker can't help him with that. He has improved his posting to the point now where he seldom makes over 5 mistakes in any one message.

I didn't post to him at first because of his inability to make readable sentences but because of his overwhelming need to bring up every couple of posts that he is an engineer. That looked to me like he was trying to point out that he was better in some way than others here. The dyslexia thing was just kind of a spin-off thing as I was trying to figure out his problem.

If he wasn't so vindictive towards everyone who doesn't support his views I would feel sorry for him but his overcompensation for whatever his handicap is makes me feel no sympathy for him.

Shouldn't the U.S. be protesting this? Outrageous!

Americans Held on Religion Charges

.c The Associated Press


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Three Americans were arrested for distributing compact discs and videotapes promoting Christianity, the Al-Khaleej newspaper reported Tuesday.

The Sharjah daily quoted Dubai's prosecutor general. Calls to the prosecutor's office were not returned Tuesday, and the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi said it was aware of the case but would not comment further.

The three Americans were arrested March 12, the newspaper said. It did not identify their church.

If convicted of promoting a religion other than Islam or seeking converts, the Americans could face jail sentences of between five and 10 years.

A fourth American was reportedly arrested for allegedly arranging their entry visas into the country.
