I've never had any interest in going to pride. It just seems like a huge excuse to get drunk after being out in the sun all day, and maybe having an orgy later that night.

And if you're envious of the more fit gay guys... why not start lifting and eating right? If I remember correctly, you're a skinny little guy. Go and exercise so you can get stronger

Why would you be jealous of extroverts? They're literally bad people, you know.

lol

I'm going to Chicago's pride fest next weekend, first time I've participated in any pride festivities.

Damn Erik. Sorry your life sucks cause of a tv show. Life's just a bitch aint it?

My life is great. I have a sexy girlfriend.

It's the only validation I get though. I was pretty bad about it for a while, but I think I've got my posting habits mostly under control now.

Did the writers of the Quran blow themselves up?

You'd have to be absolutely insane to believe there's no link between a religion and a person screaming "ALLAHU AKBAR" as they cut off a mans head.

Obviously not all muslims are bad people. No one even has to bother mentioning this anymore. But to entirely divorce the religion from the extremist followers is insane.

it's supposed to give dudes who are into pedophillia an excuse to say "it's not actually a child!"

that is literally, 100% all there is to it.

And I have enough information to form my opinions.

I'm not misinformed. I know how I feel and what I feel about thing based on the knowledge I do have.

But that doesn't preclude the possibility that misinformation may have developed your feelings on things, or that you do not have enough information on things

Dude, you asked why.
I gave you a perfectly reasonable reason.

It's Kwame, he's strongly opinionated but doesn't really have the knowledge to properly debate or back up his opinions. He's basically Zeus or PO without all the verbosity.

Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette

lol how is this even a coherent reply to what he wrote

First off everyone knows that there is a problem with extremists. the USA created that problem and shoving them under the Islam flag is about as stupid as shoving the KKK under the Christianity flag (guess which never happens) Just because someone you terrorized turned back on you doesn't mean they are Muslims, no more than Donald Trump being a Christian.

It's no different than saying all the wars in the middle east from the USA were Christian wars because Bush happens to be Christian.

The problem is extremists not Islam, maybe stop bombing civilians and there will be less of it.

I share the same opinion as TJ, as seen here:

Because by painting with a broad brush about a religion, you are painting a broad brush about an entire religion.
This is a very specific sort of group brought up under a specific socioeconomic foundation, with specific ideologies of a doctrine.

The people we are fighting are the kids whose houses got blown up in 2008 when they were 10, because of something someone did down the street, and watched their family die as "collateral damage". Then they get on the internet and learn that people are literally against the very basic philosophy of who they are.
It's not unreasonable that they would then see the society that is hell bent on destroying a group 100 miles from them, being bad.

The more you preach about how awful Islam is, and how all Muslims are awful, the worse things get because you are literally feeding their fire.
It's the old "hatred breeds hatred" thing.

IAmNowGone posted...

Yes, but it's extremely forward to assume that those like myself are lumping them together. It's extremely easy to paint one person or a group of people with the same stroke rather than look at the bigger picture.

Ironically I'm not saying you're lumping all muslim together, but that non-liberals lump them together. You took what I said to mean the opposite of what was meant.

I love it when people deflect with "but Christianity teaches X which is just as evil as when Islam teaches Y". Yep, They're both pretty terrible ideologies. No argument here.

I have seen that whenever Muslims do something bad, liberals tend to call it "religion", and use it as a euphemism for Christianity instead.

That's because everything on the opening post also applies to Christianity

I was just saying that liberals defend Islam because of the hive mind lumping togetherness, iz all

The US is fine...FOR NOW. I'm talking western culture in general. The terrorist attacks over in Europe are entirely too frequent to ignore and shrug off. We can clearly see what happens when the idea of being morally superior is chosen over actual logic.

If I'm to be perfectly honest, if I'm going to hear "we need to ban X group!" I'd rather hear "it's because we're literally at war" rather than "it's because X group is fundamentally evil!". Is that fair enough?

The latter of that goes against, well, Liberal values. Most Liberals will roll their eyes when they hear that. To be honest I'd much rather hear people complain about ending the war instead of what to do with all the collateral damage. It's total bullshit, it's like while actively burning down random houses people are trying to decide what to do with all the homeless people.

I'm pretty sure the refugee drama is synthesized to take our attention off the war.

Remember, Saudi culture is not Islam culture. There are many moderate and progressive Muslims who don't go stoning people or castrating their children. Moreover, there are several denominations of Islam.

Come on Lok, we all know we have to judge Islam by it's incredibly tiny minority of extremists and only Islam. It's not like there are 1.5-2billion other Muslim people.

Tell that to the muslims who die by other muslims everyday. Get the fuck out of here. And again honey, I said in the OP I'm not TALKING about the peaceful people. Yet, you make it a mission to continually bring them up as if I'm lumping them together.

No, you lumped all Muslims together and are trying to back pedal. Did you even read the topic or the original post?

I don't know how conservatives can let Christianity dictate their choices in laws then completely screw over the poor and take bribes.

Maybe try staying on-topic. He's not claiming Christianity is good.

Hahaha Eric you are so clever and funny! I can't get enough! Please tell me more Eric!

Patriarchy? Is not a Islam only problem. Infact it wasn't a problem till the USA decided to help change who was in charge of most of those countries.
Homophobic? Seeing as the USA has it's own problems with gays, not exactly a Islam problem.
Everything shaming? See above.
Racism? Because black males are not being imprisoned or killed daily in the USA. Totally a Islam only problem.

I hate Islam, but I value the idea of not judging people by their religion more. I don't believe our culture is threatened in any way, either. The US is where culture comes to die. There's just no way as long as we don't take in an entire group and throw them in a slum.

Go to the park

I loved it.

My best friend from high school is gay. He also voted for Trump.
