Shit is Fucked Up

Griff · 03-16-2016, 05:52 PM

So I had to turn off the news today as Hillary v Trump continues to look likely. Two broken parties taking it out on the rest of us. Thankfully this was what popped out of my thumb drive.

That's fucked up

Gravdigr · 03-17-2016, 03:23 PM

I used to really like The Offspring, but, the screaming just gets to me now.

But, yes, shit is fucked up.

Griff · 03-17-2016, 09:08 PM

I still have much love for them in my heart.

BigV · 03-17-2016, 09:24 PM

fucking outSTANDing!

Shit *is* fucked up, and then:

Griff · 03-18-2016, 08:38 AM

Oh, hell yeah!

I know this is a thread about a different style of politics.
But the title says it all.

Why in the name of all shitty fucked-uppiness attack Belgium.

Oh. Because they can.
It's like how the IRA (yeah, you know, my hobby horse) went for the weakest targets.

Despite the jokes about the French being cheese-mongering surrender-monkeys, they fought hard for their country. They were hit by the murdering arseholes this time round because France is a non secular country, and if you don't follow the laws of the Koran that match your own personal view, everyone except you and your male friends deserve to die (NOTE this is my view on ISIS, not Islam).

But "Plucky little Belgium" gets more approbation.
That's fine by me. They fought like fury.
And now. And now. 26 dead so far.
I wish I were less of a bleeding heart liberal sometimes. So I could hate the haters and want them publicly executed.

This week in Australia, some idiot took a Muslim woman's headscarf off and then apparently ridiculed her for the rest of the bus trip. He was later arrested then released on bail. So a Muslim cleric then says we should be concerned that the Muslim community might take things into their own hands. I'm sorry, but what more can he want? I'm a tolerant person, but I don't believe those sort of overt threats will do anything to help anyone.

I don't see that as an overt threat. I also see it as a warning that wacko Muslims may become emotional (like a child) and then become violent.

His words have multiple meanings depending on personal biases or perspective. But we do know why people punch out others in a Trump rally, why bombers must do killing because their god is a false idol so pathetic as to be incapable of killing, why Nazi (and others) knew torture and genocide is good, and why so many even knew Saddam was a threat to America. In every case, intelligent thinking (that defines an adult) was replaced by emotions (that define childish rationalizations).

Obviously an idiot who was later arrested was an adult acting like a child. But what was the cleric saying? Did he justify violence like a child or warn that even many Muslims adults are only children?

Why do you hate children so much? Was your childhood so bad? We are all children underneath the layers of repression and adult inhibitions.

I'm not defending the unconscious behavior described on either side, for the record... Simply wondering why you have such a fixation on labeling people as childish.... And anyways in a negative way. Was your childhood particularly difficult?

Aliantha · 03-23-2016, 01:02 AM

tw, what he was saying is that in his opinion, the way the Australian courts are dealing with this man is not good enough and that Muslims who object to it may decide to do something about it themselves. Like vigilantes.

The idiot person was arrested, charged and then released on bail pending his day in court.

Someone mouthing off before there's even an outcome is just trying to create a problem where there is none.

I've been very supportive of the Muslim people in our society here. For the most part they are very nice people, but there are dickheads among them, just as there are among all other faiths.

There has to be a way people who incite violence among their followers can be censured. I don't think I'll ask my US mates for advice there. You guys have your own problems with this issue.

I absolutely believe there is room for everyone here. I absolutely cannot understand why others don't see it.

Noooo, they must be culled so that only cake buyers remain, and non-cake buyers deported.

That sounds good too.
