I was being cynical. Most D&D talk serves no purpose except to attack other people's political agenda. Thanks for proving my point. When there's little to complain and bicker about, you don't see as many replies. This statement has pretty much nothing to do with organized religion.
Obviously. This is the debate & discussion board, not the confirm & comply board. We're on an internet forum. Purpose? LOL. We all have agendas; when it begins to trouble me is when the fact that people take such obvious sides, and have such an obsessive agenda that it consumes 99.8% of their focus on issues, and act as cheerleaders for whatever cause it is. This clouds their judgement on many issues. How I linked your post to the concept is that, as right as rain, one team showed up in the topic starter, and, of course, another member showed up right away. Aside from the fact that the thread was misguidedly titled AGAIN, and offered no substance or comment from the thread starter at all (an annoying trend), I was feeling the "meanwhile in X" meme, because, (haha, who could have seen this happening), ATW would make an appearance.
well, in the sense that you decide what funny picture I post in poorly started threads, sure I guess. have at it.
I love it how people are all about "the political correctness censor" when people are openly criticizing these ideas without any fear of anything other than strongly worded reprisals, and are discussing an issue that has been discussed ad nauseam by mainstream media.
Google image search---as opposed to going through a user's personal post history with completely unrelated threads in order to counter their points by attacking them on a personal basis, and following users across threads and even forums? meh. I'd say I wasn't trying hard enough at these internet games.
No problem. I try hard on everything incidentally. That's the only way this game is meant to be played. Now, if you're not bringing any points, I have to leave you as usual. As pleasant as our irrelevant personal bickering may be sometimes, there are probably other users out there who want to mock this thread, so it is rude for us to take up so much space. If however, you'd like to go back to the thread(s) where you stopped responding because you were a) drunk, b) degenerated into personal insults, c) who knows, and bring substantive points, by all means, go ahead.
The ironic thing, is that I did and tied it into my reply. It is just incredibly ironic that you think the mainstream media is "against you" on this issue, and you are somehow being censored by "an unscrupulous Mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is Entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end", when the "mainstream media" is the biggest force pushing discussion of Islam, and terrorism on the table. That's why we have this whole narrative of Islamic terrorism, and why, for example, the Tamil Tigers haven't been front-line news for the last ten years, but--- Peaceful preaching inside, violent message outside a New York mosque By Drew Griffin and Kathleen Johnston, CNN stuff like this is.
This re-hashed argument is so incredibly dumb. Come back to us when the Tamil Tigers start murdering people all over the world - in London, Madrid, New York, Nigeria, etc.
There is no contradiction there at all. I see that you lack the intellectual capability to understand that a regional conflict is not the same as worldwide terrorist acts committed in the name of the same religious ideology. In addition, the statement by the Saudi mufti represents an attitude that does not only manifest itself in Saudi-Arabia, as we can see when looking at Nigeria (burning churches, scores murdered in the name of the religion of peace) and Egypt (churches of Copts attacked in the name of Islam). Retreat slowly before you continue to embarrass yourself.
OH OKAY. so what you're saying is, borders do matter in your determination of what is right and wrong to report. gotcha
