JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 It's one thing to lose control and hit someone. That's understandable, if not justifiable. It's another to gang up on someone and beat them to the point of requiring hospitalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 To a person who lives freely in a free society, that sounds like sound advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 How is that advice? If anything it was a description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Poor choice of words I guess. Grammar issues aside, "your" hardly in any position to pass judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Oh, I'm not? I guess I shouldn't judge those guys who stormed the embassy and killed those people. Or judge them when they stone a woman for not being a virgin. On account of where I live. If I'm not allowed to disagree with it, why are you allowed to condone it?

McBackup Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 If this were a case before a free court of law I have a hard time believing you would be found amongst a jury of their peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Last I checked, the guy wasn't trying to arrest them. He was just telling them they were doing something wrong due to his own (albeit stupid) moral convictions. It's no different than a vegetarian telling you you're wrong to eat meat. If I were standing on the street corner with a friend, and some super evangelical christian came up to me and started accosting us for wearing multiple fiber clothing, or having a tattoo or anything like that, would we have the right to beat him to the point where he required hospitalization? I'm an Atheist, and up until quite recently Atheists were oppressed all around the world, and still are in some parts. Does that give me the right to respond with violence to anyone who imposes their religion on me, even peacefully? Wow. That's frightening. "Hey you're not following my religion's code." "Welp, I guess I better kill you." That will turn out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donky Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Oh, okay. Don't refute anything I said. Just bump this thread to point out you disagree with the example I chose that my point isn't even contingent on. Smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Then do not make outrageous statements. To compare someone being harassed for being a vegetarian to someone who is being harassed in the fashion that they have been oppressed for their entire lives is ridiculous.

Buddhas Hand Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hmm, let me go find the part where I said "Atheists are just as oppressed as women in islamic countries." Wait a minute. I can't find it. Could it possibly be because I didn't say it? Well, I guess we'll never find out since you said I did. What I did do was compare a hypothetical scenario to a real life scenario. Do you want to discuss the report? That's perfectly fine. But it seems like right now you're just throwing out insults because you disagree with my examples. So if you're not going to add anything constructive, maybe you should just bugger off. Also, if I'm a 'facepalm' (solid grasp on the fundamental parts of speech by the way) then you're a 'chafing'.
