I was just reading through some of those threads and HOT DAMN you were on fire!

This one especially got the point across:

Offensive actions are only offensive to people who find them offensive. We can expect people to sometimes be offended by our words or actions but, in a fucking SANE society, we should NEVER expect harm or death for non-violent expression.

What 'very different reaction' do you think would happen? muriel_volestrangler May 2015 #36

So it's okay to kill those who are angry at mocking their prophet, but only if they're Muslim. Right AlbertCat May 2015 #53

I think that part of the outrage is that this particular event seems to have basically been a trap enki23 May 2015 #8

Exactly Novara May 2015 #9

So you are comparing Muslims to a bear? Goblinmonger May 2015 #10

Don't put words in my mouth Novara May 2015 #13

Then feel free to explain your comparison. Goblinmonger May 2015 #19

Nope. Novara May 2015 #24

First of all, you used the word "like" so, specifically, it's a simile. That English lesson is free. Goblinmonger May 2015 #25

So who's the bear if not the Muslims? AlbertCat May 2015 #54

keeping up with the victim blaming? Lordquinton May 2015 #29

No, you said it. You don't WANT it to be said that way, but that's what you said. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #23

Would you ask Dr. King and John Lewis if provoking a known and expected violent response muriel_volestrangler May 2015 #38

You're just doubling down on the horrible statements, aren't you. Goblinmonger May 2015 #20

So, since the bear analogy flopped... instead... Muslims are.. stupid? Ok. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #22

You know what? Too fucking bad. Arugula Latte May 2015 #33

However nil desperandum May 2015 #18

Worst analogy all day. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #21

so basically muslims can't control themselves so we have to specially careful around them Warren Stupidity May 2015 #39

"a trap intended to accomplish exactly this"? What's your evidence for that? muriel_volestrangler May 2015 #37

there is no evidence for that, it is the current bullshit talking point to justify victim blaming. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #40

Here's where I reply to the shit you seem to be trying to say. enki23 May 2015 #42

Just to inject some facts: Geller is Jewish, Wilders is not religious muriel_volestrangler May 2015 #46

Oh ffs, the people in their hate groups are almost all Christians. enki23 May 2015 #48

Arguing ineffectively. Well, I guess I'll cop to that one. enki23 May 2015 #59

My problem is your insults of anyone who doesn't jump to conclusions with you muriel_volestrangler May 2015 #62
