So it fine to insult lots of people, but when you insult one person its a horrific crime. Hmm...sounds logical to me.
Just a quick note, but she is actually considered to be quite evil by the residents of many places she worked in now. She gave people food and shelter and medical attention, but only so long as they gave up their faith, the ones who didn't give up their faith got to die. The matter has been settled. Please do not stir it back up. --Nexxo edit: 'poligies there nexxo, was doing quick edits for a few seconds, shouldn'ta posted that
Alter, You have been requested by myself in a post directly below yours (#27, to be exact) to rephrase. You have been warned by moderators on this board before. Nexxo is not behaving "arbitrarily" in any way, shape or form as a moderator on this board. We have rules and regulations regarding personal attacks on members, many of which you have broken. You are dancing not ON a thin line, but very far over it, and have been tolerated to this point in hopes that an articulate, intelligent person such as yourself would realize the personalization of your posts and correct them (as well as future behavior) accordingly. Dance if you like, but one more mis-step will result in your suspension. This thread does not need people who take every other member's comment personally even though they take the time to make sure not to phrase their posts in a personal manner. That would go for ANYONE who behaves in this manner, by ANY mod. If anything, I think Nexxo has been more than tolerant. I would normally just PM this as a private matter, but I take personal attacks on our moderators seriously and I urge you to watch your step. Along with a right to free speech comes the responsibility to use it sensibly. /Kicks thread back ON TOPIC (translation: do not reply to this post in-thread any further...I'm sick of this being the Alter_ego hates Nexxo show).
I don't see how protesting by peaceful means can be compared to burning buildings and killing people. Call me a cripple and I won't like you but if you get physical, I won't hesitate to shoot you. Generally speaking (I know, I know..), that's the difference between modern Christianity and Islam. Rioting isn't the same as boycotting.
There are still plenty of Christians in south america or africa which will become violent and rioting if something annoys them, it's just they arent within arms reach of europe or potentially have nuclear weapons so nobody here really cares. Q: Do you *always* carry a gun around though, 308?
A: If I can legally I do. Some businesses don't allow it and government buildings are no weapon zones. I don't have a ccw license yet so *legally* I can only carry it in a lockable box in the car. I am in a wheelchair so I really do need it for defense...not that you have to show a specific reason in Florida.
Pardon me, but are we insane in this country? Fredom of speech is one thing, threatening, implying or encouraging an 9/11 style retribution on a country is not what i would consider acceptable behaviour. Protest by all means, but my goodness, why were these people not arrested as terrorists or for inciting terrorism?
Well, according to the polizei they're studying the films in depth and will take action where appropriate yadda yadda. Whether this is a genuine reason and they were just putting off the arrests in order to let it settle down before picking up the bad dudes(in order not to inflame the situation in the UK), or whether its just an excuse to not pick up the bad dudes(god knows why) remains to be seen. As for the guys holding those placards there, I won't shed any tears if the Sun readership take care of them.
Seriously though, if I went to an muslim country and protested about christianity with placards promising a holy war, do you really think their police would be as forgiving as our lot are?
It is not the fault of all Muslims that many Islam-based countries happen to have a rather intolerant government. Christians don't want to be blamed for the many Christianity-based countries with intolerant goverments either (and there are some. Check South America and Africa). I know nobody has been implying that, but I just want to define the perspective from which I say the following: The price of being the enlightened one is that you have to be the enlightened one (take note, religious dudes). If you want to be able to take the moral high ground you have to live by the principles even (or more exactly, especially) when others don't. If you are the "good guy" you have to accept that you do not have the same options as the "bad guys" have. So it doesn't really matter whether we couldn't protest in Muslim countries in the same way, or do not experience the same freedom as Christians that Muslims experience here. If we want to be the open-minded, tolerant guys, then we cannot be like the narrow-minded, intolerant guys.
If just read that the Taliban is overing 100 KG gold for the cartoon writer and 5 KG gold for every Danish, German and Norwegian soldier how gets killed. Its sick.
I don't think the Taliban even go so far as to bother justifying any of the stuff they do to anyone but themselves. They're bullying children with AK's, just like the Janjaweed in Sudan, or any other militia you care to pick in a 3rd world country that pushes people around, takes as they please, and kill those who they feel like.
That wasn't what I meant. I meant: why would you need to bribe/reward with gold a believer for doing (what he thinks is) the will of his God? Shouldn't a fervent believer do it on principle?
