    I actually asked him to clarify his statement, if you read my post correctly, which of course you did not.

    Link me to where you asked him to clarify his statement. I just checked the last 5 pages and what you claimed above is completely nonexistent (like your intellect).

    Are you going to answer why you misrepresented Northside Storm's post?

    Both my almost identical posts were phrased as questions.

    "So are you saying "Death to America" chants are justified?"

    This gives him an opportunity to clarify his statement.

    Not my fault if your hate blinds you.

    And I did not misrepresent anything: If he goes and says something like "you have to ask yourself why they chant 'Death to America'" and then cites some alleged wrongdoing by the USA, then that means he is establishing a causal relationship between something the USA did and the "Death to America" chants in which allegedly the USA did something wrong first.

    This statement could be understood as justifying their chants.

    This is why I asked the question to give him an opportunity to clarify how he meant that.

    So are you saying killing civilians is justified?

    So are you admitting that you were completely off with your last three posts, and apologizing for your lies?

    Can I step in?

    I never said they were justified in chanting "Death to America."

    Just that they are doing so and there may be reasons that can help clarify why they do so. And frankly, it's better then bomb bomb bomb.

    But, spin it however you want. Personally, I'm cool with spin. From an intellectual standpoint, I could find much easier ways to justify Muslims chanting slogans then Americans dropping bombs on Muslims and,to be fair, vice versa. Those are horrendous acts any moral human being would reproach. People saying stupid crap though? Eh.

    What's intellectual about saying that bombing is worse than chanting slogans? I think pretty much everyone would agree with that, on an abstract level.

    No, I am pointing out the ridiculous way you have repeatedly misinterpreted people's posts. And the hilarious thing is you remain oblivious to the fact you do this quite a lot.

    You are the only one who misrepresented anything here.

    What did I misrepresent? Care to link to it?

    Someone explained where 'Death to America' chants started from, and you illogically took that as a justification for those chants. That's just an embarrassment to the concept of common sense.

    I don't need a link because you are repeating the misrepresentation. If you lack the basic cognitive skills to distinguish between a question and a statement, I cannot help you.

    I'd argue the cartoon does not make sense. In theory, the two arab guys in the cartoon should be two different people.

    I thought this one was funny.

    Are they?

    I could pull up posts from several posters on this board who made the argument that you cannot blame all Muslims for the actions of a few extremists, but also made posts in which they blamed "the USA" or spoke of how "this country is going downhill" etc. etc.. Actually, some of the same posters would try to blame me for Germany's past wrongdoings, too.

    In one case, they deny the existence of "collective guilt", in the other case, they don't seem to have a problem with it.

    Yeah, I know what you mean (although your examples are not particularly good), ergo the italics. Perhaps I should have emphasized "in theory" more...

    Meh.

    Yeah, because it's the SAME muslims who chant death for America and separate themselves from extremists!

    It's like saying that if a handful of American Troops commit strange acts of sadistic humilation against Iraqi prisoners then all Americans must be into S&M.

    Are you into S&M? Is that what you are saying? Because honestly, I really don't need to know that ok!
