Don't you do (or not do) most of that kind of stuff year-round anyway?

that's what it's supposed to be about for the ideal Muslim, but, you know.

Ramadan Mubarak, enjoy the awesome food at maghrib.

Yes that is true, but sadly once Ramadan ends people go back to their old habits. Although some people do change for the better.

I had a friend who always ended up weighing more after Ramzan than he did before.

Athlai doesn't lie. And he doesn't do sarcasm either, so you know it's true!

Wow, you need to do some religious research to tell some kids they're being jack asses? Kids, of any religion, can be morons. You can have a word with the kids (or their parents) any time of the year, not just Ramadan.

Oh I know that but the parents always deny their little darlings ever say anything anyway. You know the type, see no evil, hear no evil, but speak lots of evil. This isn't having a go at them for being anything but asses here. Had it for years them throwing rubbish over the fence and threatening my kids yet nothing you can do. Can hardly threaten them myself can I as in this wonderful country it'd be me that gets done.

Making threats to children prohibited. Political correctness gone mad.

You know what I mean, if I say anything i'd get done round here. After the Islam paedo case round here tensions are rather high and have been for ages. Not nice living round here at present.

So come on then Bertie Big Bollocks what would you do if it was your kids getting abused and if you say anything nothing gets done?

I have no idea what I would do, but hopefully I could come up with some better ideas before resorting to issuing threats to juveniles.
