  1. this is as bad as the righty propaganda you normally post. when you read this, and it makes you mad because it's so crazy, well, just remember that most of the stuff you generally post is JUST AS CRAZY. you just agree with it.
  2. I'm not surprised that you aren't able to understand the difference between the two situations.
  3. Westboro Baptist Church calls themselves Christian... and they follow the Bible. does that help put things into context? Do the .01% of Christians who belong to or support Westboro represent Christianity as a whole? Should Christians be blamed for all actions of the KKK? They've always claimed a biblical background in their philosophy and teachings.
  4. People will never understand the dangers that police officers face everyday. Any call can turn into something like this. The masses should be thanking them for their service rather than persecuting them for every mistake they make (real or perceived).
  5. Take your own advice. Quit blaming a whole group of people for the acts of very few.
  6. Well, good for the cowboys then ;)
  7. Looks like I picked a good time to start my diet.
  8. Pretty sure the NFL took him out of the draft until there was a clearer picture of his involvement (or lack thereof) in the case.
  9. A team that won a playoff game last year gets three first rounders this year! I like it!
  10. it would almost have to be. the article about the shooting says he's 28 years old. he would've been 18 ten years ago, and your article from 2005 with the all-district had a guy by the same name from the same town making all district as a SR.
  11. Not sure. it feels like at least 14 guys named Terrance Williams have played for the Dallas Cowboys over the years. Maybe that's it.
  12. both are guilty, actually. the .01% of muslims who are truly radical, and the politicians who would have you believe that the .01 is actually 100.0
  13. I already know this. The point being that someone who doesn't have a background or knowledge of Christianity could find hundreds of Bible verses that would on face value be as bad as the ones you guys like to quote out of the Quran. Since I've read explanations that state that these verses are taken out of context by radical muslims for political purposes (not unlike what many Christians do), and since it's safe to assume that the vast majority of Muslim haters simply google a couple of verses of the Quran without context, AND since there are millions of Muslims in the US who aren't going out performing terrorist acts because of what they're reading in the Quran, I feel like my point is likely quite valid.
  14. irrelevant to Christianity? then why is it still in the Bible? And if someone who has no clue about Christianity googles bible verses, might they come off with the wrong impression based on some of the things they might find? Is it possible to do the same thing when googling the quran?
  15. how do you interpret all of the verses in the old testament that demand the killings of various types of sinners?
  16. Actually, I don't think either one is much of a threat in the general scheme of things. there's always the possibility of a nutter pulling off an attack, but it's incredibly rare, and they're rarely very effective. I take more of an issue with people who fail to understand how rarely these things actually occur, and how small of a portion of muslims in our country the radicals make up. It's not fair to blame them all for the actions of a few, no more than it is to blame all Christians for the anti-abortion nutters or Westboro Baptist Church.
  17. most Christians don't like that analogy because they agree with the bombers' agenda. which doesn't mean it wasn't terrorism. there have been a LOT more terrorist attacks from Christians in the US than Muslims. but whatever you want to think
  18. better yet, since you're such a torchbearer for the right to be ignorant and discriminative of all ways other than one's own, why don't you wear that sign outside of some mosques. that way you're almost guaranteed to get something to blame all muslims for.
  19. When crazy Christians were bombing abortion clinics, I did not blame the abortion providers. That being said, if an abortion provider had a rally where he was hanging dead fetuses from sticks to antagonize the anti-abortion movement, I wouldn't be surprised or outraged if his clinic was the next one to be bombed.
  20. again, she acted in a manner that was explicitly planned to elicit just this response. that WAS her purpose. She got the result she wanted. Sorry I'm not outraged. As I said before, if you want to go to Harlem or Detroit and walk around at night with a sign that says "I Hate N******", that's your right. But when someone inevitably shoots you, it's going to be hard for me to feel sorry for you, and I'm certainly not going to use that very predictable result to condemn the whole race for your death.
  21. I encourage anyone who can to please quote me where I've said that her free speech should be limited. This is at least the 2nd time it's been suggested that I'm saying as much on this thread. that being said, it's also funny that you guys keep saying stuff like "we shouldn't limit her speech because it may offend a radical muslim." That's a valid point, except the whole purpose of what she was doing WAS to offend radical muslims. And that's moronic. This has nothing to do with having a different ideology as them. This was a deliberate attempt to provoke terrorists. Sorry that I can't get behind that, freedom of speech or not. When I see someone poking a beehive with a stick, I don't generally blame the bees for stinging them.
  22. cops could've just as easily been the ones who got killed. but that's okay, because the nutjob was able to display her first amendment right to antagonize and provoke terrorists. and surprise! it worked! she got herself her very own terrorist attack! just like she wanted. it's very fortunate that nobody was seriously injured or killed.
  23. At what point did I say she didn't have the right to do it? You have to right to wear a sign that says I hate N****** and walk around in downtown Detroit in the middle of the night, but if you do I don't think anyone should be sitting around saying "see, I told you all black people are violent" after you get yourself shot.
  24. Not sure how 99.9% would be considered a stretch at all. There are over 100,000 Muslims in the DFW area alone. Not one of them took action against this event, even though it was intended as an inflammatory gesture directed toward militant Muslims. Even at 99.9%, you'd have expected hundreds of militants to band together to bring jihad down on this event. Instead, what did we see? Two not very good at being militant Muslims that drove all the way in from Phoenix. Seems like none of the million or so Muslims living closer to the event felt the need to take action. Of course, also in favor of my argument is the fact that there are between 2.5 and 5 million Muslims in the US, and there've been less than 10 Muslim terrorist attacks involving only a handful of Muslims in the US based on the research I've found. So 99.9 might have really been far fetched. 99.999% may be more accurate.
