I do not agree with what you have to say,
but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
No matter who gets the attribution, the sentiment is at the heart of the enlightenment. It warmed my heart to see thousands of French men and women participating in a show of solidarity.
Now if we can just get Sony interested in a bromance starring the Prophet Mohammed and Kim Jon-un...

The Erotic Apologist wrote:I don't know--did you? That's why I asked. I'd like to know whether you think the murder of Laban is, in principle, different from the murder of Charlie Hebdo's editors and contributors.subgenius wrote:Did i say it was different?
Balderdash! You specifically asked "how"... which is a far different assumption than asking "if". Nice backpeddle and yet another straw on the back of your testimony.
The Erotic Apologist wrote:That's what I'd like to know: What are you trying to say by posting a pic of Nephi murdering Laban so soon after the Charlie Hebdo murders?subgenius wrote:Are you assuming that I do not condone/support either behavior?
Clearly I was responding to the quoted post that accompanied my posting (on another thread). Your cherry picking does not change its relevance to that end.
The Erotic Apologist wrote:I stated my position in the OP. It's an allusion to Le Monde's headline after the 9-11 attacks: Nous sommes tous Américains! ("We are all Americans!") And it wasn't just Le Monde--newspapers all across Europe printed similar headlines in response to 9-11. In other words, my OP was an expression of solidarity and commiseration.subgenius wrote:nevertheless, i notice you are unwilling and unable to support your position on this matter...
Why do you find that so offensive?
The 2 attacks are hardly the same.. yes both are tragic but then so is an abortion.
Your OP was superficial in sentiment and sincerity.

your wife ain't here... and she for sure isn't saddled across this computer monitor.

Just for clarification, Subgenius, do you support the reasons and actions of these bomber/murderers? Can't imagine you do, so I am just assuming you were giving an opposite reaction to whatever the Erotic Apologist was saying.

Yes, so how does Nephi's murder of Laban differ from the Charlie Hebdo murders?subgenius wrote:Balderdash! You specifically asked "how"...
This is what we like to call a distinction without a difference.subgenius wrote:...which is a far different assumption than asking "if".
This is what we like to call a mixed metaphor.subgenius wrote:Nice backpeddle and yet another straw on the back of your testimony.
It doesn't change its relevance to this one, either.subgenius wrote:Clearly I was responding to the quoted post that accompanied my posting (on another thread). Your cherry picking does not change its relevance to that end.
So how does Nephi's murder of Laban differ from the Charlie Hebdo murders?
They are different in that one is entirely fictional and the other is all too real.subgenius wrote:The 2 attacks are hardly the same...
They are the same in that both were perpetrated by fundamentalist kooks upon defenseless victims.
Irrelevant.subgenius wrote:...but then so is an abortion.
Nope--it was 100% sincere. So why does this bother you so much?subgenius wrote:Your OP was superficial in sentiment and sincerity.
Duh.subgenius wrote:your wife ain't here...

by the way, I disagree with killing those who poke fun. Sometimes it is good to nip situations in the bud, such as BYU did with taking action before the Maxwell Institute could become more radicalized. Let's Trey Parker and Matt Stone breath easier at night.

What else do you expect from a troll?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

For clarification
No, i do not support their actions.
I understand their reasons, my support or non-support of those reasons is meaningless here. People being able to hold their own reasons is a fundamental belief of my own.
That being said, my original criticism of the OP still stands.

Your politics bore me. Your demeanor is that of a pouty child.
