Celebrating the RoP.

i dunno know what that means but get it while the gettins good.

[Rob L 3,811]

Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.

Nothing more denigrating than getting hacked up in public for no good reason. It has gotten old.

There are many ways to hack someone up in public for no good reason. Being verbally abusive by denigrating others is one way. And yes, it has gotten very old.

ooooo lah lah the resident muslim bashers up and crankin this morning.

That's what happens when there's no ability to have a coherent and reasoned response.

You're not trying to say that this raggedy band of JV extremists represents ALL muslims do you? We are talking about three specific events, no need to generalize.

Whats really cool about a verbal hacking is that both parties leave with their head (and the rest of their parts) attached

See post 5 my first in the thread. I'm focused like a laser on the Tiny Minority and offended at your extrapolation of the actions of the few onto all. The lot of you who are implying that all Muslims fall under the category of the raggedy few should be ashamed

Except just like we live in a society that says hacking someone to death in public isn't acceptable, we also type on a forum where denigration of others isn't acceptable. Hacking people to death is fun to some people, just like verbal hacking seems cool and fun to some people.

Some societies it is not, some societies it is.

[smilesammich 10,727]

Some societies it is not, some societies it is.

in some societies it is acceptable for law enforcement to kill a child without admitting any personal responsibility for the murder, only to pay millions of dollars to the child's family. in some societies such abhorrence is not acceptable. human violence and societal morality are far reaching concepts, remember what jesus said about the plank in your eye.

I hope you're not advocating some sort of "hacking for Jesus" now?
