- umbluegray - 06-24-2005 12:24 PM I need some help here. For the life of me I can't figure this out:
- DrTorch - 06-24-2005 12:27 PM Hmm. That's an excellent thought provoking question. I don't know the answer. Guess I'm too stupid. - Lethemeul - 06-24-2005 12:28 PM umbluegray Wrote:I need some help here. For the life of me I can't figure this out:What? You didn't get the memo? Only the rights and beliefs of the 'average' American are allowed to be infringed or belittled. - umbluegray - 06-24-2005 12:30 PM Lethemeul Wrote:What? You didn't get the memo?

I probably need some help in that area. :D - Bourgeois_Rage - 06-24-2005 02:07 PM This is what happens when Mel Brooks runs the country. It's only ok to make fun of people if you make fun of all of them. Great question, umbg - Lethemeul - 06-24-2005 02:36 PM umbluegray Wrote:Eh, probably my fault as much as it was yours. :DLethemeul Wrote:Actually, the question in my original post was rhetorical.umbluegray Wrote:I know you were looking for a real answer.

Still too steamed about the Supreme Court decision to get the political satire. - blah - 06-24-2005 04:56 PM Quote:The Quran was found at 647 Crutcher St. covered with flies and having a torn-out page mashed into what seemed to be feces and burned. [Beavis]hehe hehe he said feces.[/Beavis] At least we only defile the book. In the Middle East they kill the person that own the book (Bible.) I guess Jihad is only good if you are on the side of the all powerful Allah. (please note the sarcasm) - uhmump95 - 06-29-2005 12:15 PM Burning a book that is the foundation of a religion for a culture and group of mainly non-white people(probably by some ignorant redneck who doesn't realize that anyone can be Muslim and use the Quran). Sounds like a hate crime to me. - flyingswoosh - 06-29-2005 12:53 PM uhmump95 Wrote:Burning a book that is the foundation of a religion for a culture and group of mainly non-white people(probably by some ignorant redneck who doesn't realize that anyone can be Muslim and use the Quran). Sounds like a hate crime to me.1) what is a hate crime? 2) people should have the freedom to defile any book, should they choose to do so. 3) i'd have no problem defiling the quran, but i'm not an ignorant redneck. sounds like someone has problems with stereotyping. - uhmump95 - 06-29-2005 02:09 PM 1) what is a hate crime? I am not a lawyer, but I will give my own interpretation. Any act of violence or disrespect against a group of people different from you for no other reason than they are different 2) people should have the freedom to defile any book, should they choose to do so. I know a lot of people who would say that until a book very important them was defiled. Personally I think the American judicial system has been guilty of one hate crime after another against Christianity but I digress.. 3) i'd have no problem defiling the quran, but i'm not an ignorant redneck. sounds like someone has problems with stereotyping. Are you Muslim? If not than you are ignorant to the reason that they feel anger and disrespect at the defiling of their holy book. As for the redneck statement, I apologize to all rednecks. - flyingswoosh - 06-29-2005 02:18 PM uhmump95 Wrote:1) what is a hate crime?muslims might be upset at that act, but the person responsible should not be in any trouble. also, how can someone prove that a crime is a hate crime? - Rebel - 06-29-2005 02:35 PM You don't have a right to not be offended uhmump. Do you think it's ok to burn the flag? - flyingswoosh - 06-29-2005 02:46 PM if i put someone behind bars every time they offended me, there'd be a lot of people in jail. people used to make fun of me for my height, and i was as sensitive about that as muslims are about their religion, but should the people who made fun of me be punished? no. |
