Also, not everyone has the same kind of colorblindness. So I don't doubt that you're also colorblind, but us being differently colorblind probably explains why it's worse for me.

Mary Christmas is just looking for anyone and anything that calls Islam evil so any source you bring up will probably be called biased or worse he'll bring up Taqiyya and then you're just going to be playing No True Scotsman. So uh.....    Good prediction on Taqiyya btw....Barry Cuda is Mary Christmas in the previous one

Zeitgueist posted:So uh..... Has anyone pointed out that the last calif was ended by.. Atatürk? Because if Atatürk was just a Muslim, and Muslims believe in the califate above nations, why did Atatürk abolish the last caliphate while founding the modern nation of Turkey? (That is if you're willing to ignore the centuries long time after the sack of baghdad where there were zero or multiple califs depending on who you asked). Why would he not continue to claim the caliphate that turkey had used as the symbol of its power for centuries? Not to mention how reminiscent that sounded of bigotry towards catholics (Al Smith will surrender the government to the pope!) not too long ago. I just hate these people who say "do the research" but clearly haven't so much as read the wikipedia summary of the guys or events they are spouting off about.

Let's just ignore all those Greek massacres of Turks that were happening in Thrace at the same time in the brutal Greco-Turkish war, because of course only evil Muslims would do massacres.

When my dad says "do the research" or "look at both sides" what he really means is "you need to listen to and read the same Very Serious People I do in the pages of the NYT and WSJ and on CNN and uncritically regurgitate what they say or else I won't listen to you." Don't bother telling him that progressive taxation doesn't work like he thinks it does, for instance, or that research indicates charter schools are a huge scam and far less cost-effective than just dumping more money into regular public schools.

I like how Barrycuda has constructed a 'moderates vs. radicals' model of history. Straight up agree with him that Muslims should be reeducated because 'terror in defense of liberty is no vice'.

I remember when everyone changed their facebook profile picture to a cartoon character to raise awareness of child abuse. Though apparently there are facebook groups that will post pretty innocuous things to get people to share it to raise their awareness and get more likes, then a few posts later they can post some truly hateful stuff now that they have a bigger audience. In my last post, I mentioned Britain First. They'll literally have posts of "Like this post if you think Princess Diana was amazing" or something along those lines (which, yeah most people loved Princess Di), then the next post will be how they need to kick all the Muslims out of England.

Not to take away from that ongoing bit of loveliness, but its time for This Week in LL101! But why would you think an AMERICAN who wants to indiscriminately murder people was a bad person?  We're supposed to treat them like humans, and NOT laugh in their face? Also, Republican outreach is going fine.  Because the only thing stopping the gorvenment taking away all rights is this rock - I mean, this assault rifle.  Remember when Reagan told America about how government cost money and they should be adults and deal with their taxes going up?  And this is my raygun for fighting off the aliens. Make believe sure is fun.  Those dirty unvaccinated kids from countries with higher vaccination rates than the US.  These guys really never got the message that they landed control of congress, did they?  ...that thinking being what? I seriously don't get the point of this.  ANYONE can go to these tourist spots or "Rome", but Muslims actually keep their sacred spot sacred. SO RACIST!  quote:The ACLU didn’t like Tennessee’s law against teaching the theory of Evolution, so they went “chumming” for someone who’d be willing to break the law for them. They put ads in some Tennessee newspapers saying they’d pay the expense of any teacher willing to be their patsy (they probably used a different word). George Rappleyea, owned some mines in Dayton, Tennessee and figured the publicity would help the local economy, which would of course mean more money for him, so he called a meeting of some local business men. They talked John Scopes into volunteering as “the accused” and pretended that he’d been arrested. Scopes was a coach, not a biology teacher, but had subbed a couple of weeks for the real biology teacher. And he actually never taught Evolution, but then the truth wasn’t really something the group was all that interested in. Liberals distort the record and don't allow the REAL TRUE story. Where Jerome Lawrence was a pedophile because of a book thats not out by a person who totally, really exists we just can'y share his name.  Whereas the health system before, that was all about FREEDOM!  Like when a Wisonsin governor says he's going to make jobns, you shoul;d judge him by his jobs record?  Which is why he's totally been carpet bombing the former group and not the latter.  How DARE Obama criticize Jack Ryan for wanting to ahve sex with his wife....in a club...with a bunch of strangers. We in the GOP would NEVER attack someone for having sex.  And now we see their attempts to play damage control with "|See, Obama said it to", with a speech that leaves out he was pointing to a questioner when he said this person here, and was refering to the skyrocketing autism rate when he said the science wasn't clear. So, why won' the Lame Stream Media ignore the context like they do?  Of course, she's white - the cops won't shoot her kids.  What about all the times we DIDN'T say something monumentally retarded and actively dangerous? Why didn't that make news? What would that sort of news even look like? "Perry resists urge to hurl feces at reporters".  Because you've been soooo very against cops breaking the law and haven't tried to justify it at all.  And now the "its no big deal" stage. Pfft, so a few kids will die, thats a bad thing?  "gee, I've made this thing into an insultingly simple analogy. Have I maybe left out details? Nah, it must be that everyone else is just so stupid and hasn't realised this yet!"  "I believe kids should do it, I just don't think kids should do it." Stunning follow through.  Notice the lack of any reference to a reason.  quote:Once again the issue of immunization has reared it’s ugly head. Once again we have zealots accusing the other side of being zealots. It gets old really fast. Personally, I’ve always been undecided on the issue, but there are certain behaviors that make me want to lean toward the anti-immunization side. Mainly because the pro-immunization people can be such closed-minded, hypocritical, ignorant dweebs. ...before just saying "gently caress it" and going all in on how vaccines are totally not necessary and are just zealous LIBRULS trying to control and take away AR FREEDUMS! Also, if just one child is not vaccinated its totally safe. Therefore EVERYONE should remain unvaccinated.  Because as we all know, veterans of a presidents war are only veterans under that president, and don't carry over.  drat that Obama and his invention the war on drugs.  quote:It was almost 90º, and in the humidity typical of Florida, that’s even worse than it normally would feel. It was May 11th, 1996 and Domingo Pacheco was racing to the airport to catch a plane, then he felt his tire go flat. He was on the Palmetto Expressway right at the beginning of rush hour traffic. Having a flat tire was bad enough, but in this heat, with hundreds of cars and trucks screaming by, inches away? Ah yes, stdh.txt about how God spared someone...and didn't care enough to save the others.  Remember when people were totally fighting tooth and nail for their right to have and share Ebola? Why did we allow that again?  Because Anti-Vaxxers never once try to change the subject to about FREEDUMS!  Vaccines totally take 9 months and could lead to life threatening complications, right?  "How DARE Obama call us names! That is TOTALLY DISRESPECTFUL! Now more about how he's a shifty baby muslim thug."  Because restating opposition in a hy[perbolic way to their face totally doesn't backfire, right?  In LL101's defense, its hard to hear the cries around the world of Muslims when you've got your head that far up your own rear end.  quote:Originally posted May 23rd, 2005 at JackLewis.net. "See? The GOP don't CALL themselves religious nuts, and religious nuts don't have total control over every part of life, so clearly it ISN'T a theocracy!"  "How DARE Obama, who we call a Nazi, disrespect us!"
