HOLY FUCK GET IN HERE HAPPENING IN CT

[Ph64]

LOL, what?

...unless of course, you're not self-aware enough to detect irony.

Tell me the difference between that brown kid with the AKs, and this:



EDIT ugh goddamn linking pictures on the phone

Trigger discipline
Superior genetics

And I'm guessing any guy that tried to tell her she needed to wear a black bag with an eye slit, she wasn't allowed to drive, and if she was raped the guy gets off and she gets stoned to death... would find himself lucky to get away alive.

This thread is due for a suicide bombing

Hopefully, if GCF is sitting in a Sbarro and he hears somebody scream Alahu Akbar before the explosion, his last thought will be the knowledge that I will be in here discussing the irony of his death.

A cool mill, just in Iraq. But who's counting..

What a disingenuous comparison lol.

I know. Fundamentalist neocons have managed many times that level of destruction. I just grabbed an easy example.

Just out of curiosity, do you think the tens of thousands of Iraqis who died in the sectarian war that followed were murdering each other over different interpretations of the Bible? Do you think the American soldiers there were fighting because of a papal bull?

Time to go back to calling GCF IsisCat again.

No, different interpretations of their own chosen 'holy book'.

Papal bull? Goodness no. Just the dictates of a decentralized Protestant religious fanatacism, not Catholic - goodness me.

I could have pulled any number of stats from Israel/Palestine (backed by our fundamentalists), various oil conflicts and uprisings created by our IC shadow gov, the civil rights era (if you want something domestic), the crusades (for history), Wars of the Reformation, on and on and on...

Christians have absolutely no shortage of atrocities to match those of the Muslims. That's my main point.

That does sting a little.

I'd fight to the death to defend those around me, if possible. Never go quietly. In the end though, it would be a freak occurence - just like getting hit by lightning, or encountering an escaped lion. Buy a lotto ticket in my name, and give a piece to my kids.

[Dand]

Yeah, fight that bomb to the death

You're killed, maimed, or not in an instant and luck is all that determines it.

Lol the Iraq was wasn't a religious war. The Evangelicals were very supportive of it, but they generally very supportive of our armed forces, so by that logic all American conflicts would be religious wars. You are trying to equate a war, while pointless, to domestic terrorism. You tried to make the comparison of a protestant girl with a bible and a rifle to a muslim bombing a concert. When I called you on it, you started talking about Christian religious wars from 400 years ago, and geopolitical conflicts that have very little to do with religion. You are like the false equivalency king right now.

You realize that the Crusades were a response to the seizure of Christian cities by Muslims right? I'm not defending the action one way or the other, but this narrative of Christian persecution of Muslims that the media perpetuates every time this kind of thing happens is ridiculous. The crusades have nothing to do with detonating a nail bomb on innocent bystanders.

I don't think I've seen Spiked before today. It's a UK webzine. Spiked (also written as sp!ked) is a British Internet magazine focusing on politics, culture and society from the tradition of humanism and the "anti-Stalinist left". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiked_(magazine)

I wonder how the investigation by HRH's Sprechpolizei into today's editorial will go.

AFTER MANCHESTER: IT’S TIME FOR ANGER

After the terror, the platitudes. And the hashtags. And the candlelit vigils. And they always have the same message: ‘Be unified. Feel love. Don’t give in to hate.’ The banalities roll off the national tongue. Vapidity abounds. A shallow fetishisation of ‘togetherness’ takes the place of any articulation of what we should be together for – and against. And so it has been after the barbarism in Manchester. In response to the deaths of more than 20 people at an Ariana Grande gig, in response to the massacre of children enjoying pop music, people effectively say: ‘All you need is love.’ The disparity between these horrors and our response to them, between what happened and what we say, is vast. This has to change.

. . .

Stop and think about how strange it is, how perverse it is, that more than 20 of our citizens have been butchered and we are basically saying: ‘Everyone calm down. Love is the answer.’ Where’s the rage? If the massacre of children and their parents on a fun night out doesn’t make you feel rage, nothing will. The terrorist has defeated you. You are dead already.

Wake the fuck up Britain.

You may never get to quote them again.
