reno cool
you are trying very hard to debate an issue that doesn't exist. Read the article

I did read the article. Playing contrarian for the sake of playing it is what you're doing on all of these issues.

Not sure why Reno is all of a sudden an Islamic terrorist sympathizer. His logic that the people who got assassinated deserved to die because they didn't treat others with respect is appalling. These Islamic terrorists should be hunted down and eradicated from the face of the earth. Our government must fight them at all corners of the world so they won't attack us again on our home soil. The only language they understand is war.

Reno what's your opinion about the Tsarnaev brothers who bombed the Boston marathon? Did the runners deserve to die because they insulted Islam?

Oh, another genius.
What did they have to shove in your head for you to equate
"If you want peace and respect you don't go around demeaning and provoking others" with "people who got assassinated deserved to die because they didn't treat others with respect"?
 
Thats exactly the message you're sending RC.

You haven't made a post denouncing the actions of Islamist terrorists in Paris. FairWarning asked you a few times in this thread.

if thats what you see, it is because you've been warped by the biased, empty debate that is in the forefront of popular culture in this country. And that is an important issue. Quick automatic response like Pavlov's dog.
No ability or interest to recognize even very simple things. Shove everything into two polarizing columns. It is quite impressive

Obviously it's not a good thing. So you think the goobers who are running around "condemning" Islamist terrorists on one hand but support the wars that create radicalism. ISIS etc.., promote hate and disenfranchisement of Muslims are fighting against terrorism?
 
I do agree with Reno on that point, it's not necessary to take sides on every issue, as many times the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Problem is it's very much forced upon us from every angle these days. If it were up to me there would be no political parties. People would actually have to investigate how candidates vote and educate themselves prior to voting. Instead we get Walmart vs. Target every 8 years.

They claim it's every 4 years but it's fixed now to be every 8 years.

I'm voting Target to "cancel out" Bacon's Walmart vote.

I would say all FW is asking is that Reno says something mirroring that author's statement:

"I find the murders abhorrent, that I am not justifying the murder, that I do not believe in the death penalty for cartooning (or indeed, for anything, including murder and treason)."

Who the fuck would be confused as to what a caricature is? Not sure of the point there.

Exactly, most cartoons oversimplify and exaggerate. Lord, this has gone on forever.

Say Houser goes on a bender, throws on blackface and struts around in Detroit screaming racial slurs. Someone beats the crap out of him. Who are people going to take up for?

If someone kills him, I'll stick up for dead Houser every time. Again, even being a racist isn't a criminal act. Killing someone is. You can't justify that racist behavior, but you can't condone killing him for it either. So, back to my initial point, you can't litigate good taste. Same argument over pornography.

He doesn't have to go to Detroit for that, he can go up the road.
