:D Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 She seems like a remarkable girl, but I think it is an odd cause for you to champion, Sharpshooter. It seems to directly oppose your stance on religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ambien Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Good for her for standing up for her freedom, and here's to seeing if she can grow a better playoff beard in 10 years next season. Yes. I thought that was strange as well. I guess he's not really commenting on the religious aspect but more on the you shouldn't be a douchebag aspect.

TimberWolf Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I don't think anyone should be ridiculed for their opinions or lifestyles but it happens constantly and many times unchecked on this forum. What makes this subject immune and special while others go into the ridicule pile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SukhKular Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 The main focus of the subject I reckon. The main focus being the ability for a young woman to preserve her self-worth and dignity in the face of public humiliation. An attempt that had nothing to do with her religious beliefs, but for her outward appearance. Had the thrust of the subject been her religion, then the ridicule and criticism of her and her religion's hypocrisy, would have been easy pickin's as they are when the subject is about invariably any religion. But, that wasn't the focus here. This remarkable young woman's character and its affect on those around her, was and continues to be the focus.

Heretic Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I love his comment "Put simply it was stupid. Making fun of people is funny to some but incredibly degrading to the people you're making fun of. It was an incredibly rude, judgmental, and ignorant thing to post." That should be the unwritten rule of everyone here on CDC. That is, we should all to think about that comment before we post something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Nope. Critiques of supernatural belief systems and those that believe in those systems are fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Your attempt to hijack the words of the perpetrator of the original attempt to humiliate and laugh at Balpreet's expense in order to seek cover for the ridicule your belief in fairy tales for adults is duly noted. However, making fun of someone for their natural features or naturally normal, though culturally abnormal appearance is not akin to the choice one has when they make choice to believe in supernatural superstitions and then make covenants with imaginary beings, since the former doesn't have the affect on society as the latter. Perhaps you could learn a thing or two from Balpreet in not playing the victim while belonging to an organization that has and continues to victimize little boys, denies human beings equal rights, proselytizes against the use of birth control and disease preventative measures, and which callously calls everyone a sinner while commanding they be saved or spend all eternity being punished and tortured. I'd never make fun, nor laugh at the expense of these people for deciding wear certain garments, or to conform to some hairstyle or other bodily feature though. Hate the sin, not the sinner, as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
