"Bro, your face is pissing me off, want to throw down?"

That's an example of the sort of dialog that goes on in a new app called Rumblr, which can be used to set up fistfights with total strangers — you know, Fight Club style.

Rumblr is set up like a dating app, except the dates happen in parking lots and back alleys, not restaurants, and they culminate in throw-downs instead of get-downs.

Sigh.

    Christians can set up fights with terrorist muslims (or as they spell it, moslems, as they are mentally disabled)

    Men hating feminist loonie mega fighting dykes can beat up men
    Women hating vagina fearing cauz-they-can't-get-any men can set up fights with women.
    Bros can regain lost bro points for beating up someone after they get their teeth kicked in for being a loud mouth shit head at a private party.
    Lawyers have a new meal ticket.
    Cops and media have a new boogeyman to condemn and make up sensationalist headline "The new app that has parents shitting their collective pants about a new threat against their precious little angels"

    or as they spell it, moslems

    Welcome to the English language. Not everything gets spelled one way [historynewsnetwork.org].

    According to the Center for Nonproliferation Studies,"Moslem and Muslim are basically two different spellings for the same word." But the seemingly arbitrary choice of spellings is a sensitive subject for many followers of Islam. Whereas for most English speakers, the two words are synonymous in meaning, the Arabic roots of the two words are very different. A Muslim in Arabic means"one who gives himself to God," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means"one who is evil and unjust" when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.
