    Agrabah is a horrible place where they cut your hand off for stealing an apple and daughters are forced into marriage. Their "judicial system" is run by some d*ckhead named Jafar who is the actual ruler since their despot is a witless idiot who has never allowed his own daughter leave the confines of the palace. That daughter is SUPER hot though.

    Bombs away!

    Is this any different than all the people that wanted to ban "Dihydrogen Monoxide" or "DHMO"?

    There's a ton of stupid people out there on both sides of the aisle.

    That's only what's being portrayed in the media.

    It shows how easy it is for people to call for the killing of those who are different from them. "Should x be given the lethal injection?" Normally it would follow , "What did x do?" People don't do their research, it sounds like a muslim name, therefore, it should be bombed into oblivion regardless of whether there is a crime present---which also goes to show the rising islamaphobia in this country. The analogy you just made doesn't apply because wanting to ban a substance/molecule is much more different than wanting to kill a whole wave of people. As humans, we all understand how important lives are, and how horrific it is when they are taken from this world. When we choose not to apply that criteria to a specific group of people we need to be aware of our bias before it leads to dangerous consequences.

    The problem is greater than they want to do it . . .. . its that they were too prideful/arrogant and eager that they could not admit to not knowing where or what it was
