Uh, the real Hardys are "professional" wrestlers. I don't even know if she's want to win the title.

I think it'd make more sense to put quotes around "wrestlers" since that's the part that's really under question. Nobody's arguing they don't make money off what they do.

Grammar Nazis vs. Grammar Jews

Isn't that grammar genocide? Anyway...

My first name is Roman, my middle name is Hebrew, and my last name is German. My middle name is commonly not seen at all, and if it is, it's usually reduced down to a mere initial. The Hebrew genocide by the Romans and Germans lives on. :(

Wow, I didn't even know about the Jewish-Roman wars until now. It's something we never covered in World History. Although it can also be considered a rebellion, the outcome is pretty bad...

The Sunnis vs. the Shiites (but I'm a Sunni and I get along with Shiites just fine. But this is in general)

Paris Hilton vs. Nicole Richie (it's over now, reportedly)

UCLA vs. USC

Pt_peach: I intend to read "The Kite Flier," which should shed some light on that confusing topic.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #53 on:** January 26, 2007, 03:10:55 PM »

Which confusing topic? The Sunni's and Shiites? It's actually quite clear to me.

Suffix · « **Reply #54 on:** January 26, 2007, 03:20:39 PM »

Confusing for me, anyway.

Well, when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) died, there was an argument over who was the next ruler. Half the people thought to elect his best friend, Abu Bakr, who was very knowledgeable as the leader while the other half wanted his son-in-law Ali (RA) to be the ruler, because he was married to the Prophets daughter Fatimah. The Muslims were split. The Shiite's also have different religious views than the Sunni's. The Shiites felt that the rulers of Islam should stay on the bloodline. However, Sunni's do not believe in this, as voting is encouraged in the Shariah (Islamic law) when choosing leaders. Sunni's do not think that rulers should be appointed due to the bloodline. They Shiites pray differently than the Sunni's, too. They also have other festivals that the Sunni's do not celebrate, like the Prophet's birthday.

So you see? This entire disagreement is because Ali wasn't chosen to be the first Kalifah (even though he was the 3rd Kalifah, after Omar (RA))

Diet Coke vs Diet Pepsi
Either way, we're stuck with one nasty beverage.
