How about muslims?
Where do you draw the line?
Judging by this logic, you should be smacked good before you can act on your threats.
Their story remains to be proven or disproven. You've already decided, based on KENS 5 trying to walk a difficult line between the right's desperate need to have the Trump supporters in this narrative be innocent children, and what the left considers to be a somewhat more nuanced reality. San Antonio police are going to be questioning everybody they can find with any knowledge of this story. Hopefully the truth will prevail.
If the teenagers did indeed make those comments, then I can understand the guy throwing soda in their faces. Like FoxRox, I don't approve ... but I understand.
But even you have to agree that the average reader would have a hard time believing a story by an anonymous witness who made a statement that had to be removed by the news organization.
Well, let's see:
You jump to conclusions based on a questionable article and your own particular bias, and when it's pointed out to you that the news organization has had to remove a witness's statements because of legitimacy concerns, you stick your fingers in your ears and scream about racism and attacks on the media.
I'd say you're not only a below average reader but a below average thinker.
I'm at work right now. No time for an extended discussion. Please be patient, I'll be back w/you in a few hours.
I did not see Beatles stick his fingers in his ears, and I did not hear him scream, but I *do* see you making an ad hominem attack on his ability to read & reason. I would say that should be beneath anyone on this excellent site. Let's be a little better than that, eh?
For MY part, I would never strike a Nazi first.
I'd make fun of Hitler & his pussified suicide so the Nazi would lash out physically at me, THEN I'd clean his clock, and press charges. ;)
The exaggeration is on your part.
I tend to get annoyed when people imply that others are racist for no good reason.
Also, mind your own business.
Where do you draw the line?
Judging by this logic, you should be smacked good before you can act on your threats." Okay, you felt attacked. I get that. But I think Beatles was trying to discuss more than attack... Don't tell me to mind my own business when I'm attempting to be THE CALM COOL VOICE OF REASON!!!! WHERE DO YOU LIVE??? LET'S DO IT! MANO E MANO!!!
Alright, I'll admit it, you made me smile. Tension defused!
And so does Beatles, right?
@Thundy, it's sometimes tough to tell when you're serious & when you're just being snarky. Muslims are by no means 100% violent terrorists. Nor is Islam a political philosophy. It is a religion, with all sorts of divisions and disagreements between the numerous sects. No line is drawn here, no one here is in danger of falling victim to El Kabong's cheap guitar. If an individual attempts a terrorist action, he, she or they are to be dealt with on an individual basis. Nazis, as I've already mentioned, were the focal evil of the second World War. If you hadn't noticed, they tried to exterminate the entirety of the world's Jewish peoples. Anyone trying to legitimize their actions is flat-out wrong and should be opposed by all patriotic Americans. Declaring oneself a Nazi of any sort, neo- or otherwise, is to make oneself the target of a good smacking at the very least. I hope I've made myself clear.
@Escalus, you'll get a more thorough response later. Quickly stated: Thanks for at least acknowledging that the suspect's soda-throwing, hat-snatching tactics were "understandable." And I'm sure I've made a mistake or two in my time as well. Being wrong occasionally is just part of the human condition. You insist that you're not a racist; fine, I'll take your word for that. You're just defending and enabling racists. But I appreciate the subtle distinction. As I've said: more to come on that topic. I'm sure you can hardly wait. But seriously now: what in the world makes you think you have the right to tell @chrisisall to "mind your own business"? This is an open topic thread, not a private discussion. Why would you tell chris to MYOB but remain silent at Thundy's interjections? Couldn't be that you feel Thundy is taking your side so that's okay, but chris is taking mine and we can't have that -- could it? Nah, of course not.
Okay, lunch is over. Take your Pepto Bismol, everybody; I'm sure there'll be more to come...
@BeatlesSansEarmuffs stated it correctly. This is an open thread, in which no consensus will ever be reached. Post your opinion and walk away if others and their opinions upset you.
Thank you.
I was actually kinda poking fun at myself here because I have been known to be so VERY NOT the cool calm voice of reason (I have the mod warnings to prove it) at times...
What are you gonna do? Smack us?
And thus my own references to El Kabong...
KABONG!!!
We closed the religion thread because it was "too sensitive" for some people. I am not going to hesitate even five minutes to use their argument ("... has no business being discussed on a Bond forum") in this thread too. ;)
A Fine Madness! Great movie!
"You voted for him?"
No, I'm not. I pointed out that the story had been revised to remove the quotes, which would logically put the claims of the anonymous witness in doubt, and you got out of line. You're still out of line, but you're trying to be cute about it.
Well, as you said, we'll wait and see what happens with this investigation.
Chrisisall is welcome to post whatever he wants. I already wrote "tension defused" to let him know I wasn't being serious. You apparently missed that.
As for Thunderfinger, there is no taking sides. Typically I ignore his posts, mostly because I can't figure out if he's on the level or trolling.
Thundy's posts are an acquired taste, but yes, it's probably wise to ignore them in case of doubt. ;)
