    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    Okay, firstly I retract the 'word salad' bit, that was uncalled for on my part. I don't consider myself any more eloquent then you either, I reckon there's a bunch of us who have a good grasp of vocabulary and can express ourselves well. Frankly, if there was a competition on the eloquence score...

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    Do you have the right to walk out of your house and go about your business without the likely fear of being hit in the head with a baseball bat? If you are and you survive the assault then are you within your rights to file charges for said assault? You've got even more word salad going on than...

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    What "silliness"? I'm not being silly, I'm asking you pertinent questions unless you absolutely decree that they're silly but surely that should be open to question unless your opinion is absolute? See now how your own position goes against you?

    How can you agree with such people if they declare such to be wrong and in absolutist terms? Do you even understand your own thread? Nice word salad though...

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    The past isn't the present. We're not living thousands of years ago where primitive tribes lived in primitive times. We're in the modern age so I'll ask you in regards to the present. Is there any valid reason for the rape, torture and killing of a child? Straight answer please.

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    And? There's been all manner of barbarity and suffering inflicted in this world through the ages but that's no reason to excuse such in the present where we have societies that value civil liberties and to be free from the likes of rape etc that the law rightfully decrees a crime. You're one to...

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    Never claimed to be or anything akin and you yourself don't know what the future will hold and so what? I don't need to know to be able to categorically state that there's no justification for rape. I don't shy away from absolutes and as much as you may think you're not doing so you are with...

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    How are you not declaring absolutes yourself here?

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    Who routinely deems it necessary to kill millions of fellow human beings for the future of humanity exactly? Funny how you accuse others of having strange priorities when you like to distance yourself from absolutes.

    Suicidality and the Second Amendment

    Pfft, I don't want to own a gun or have anything like the gun culture that's prevalent in America. Most all countries don't and don't want it either. Hopefully there'll be more sensible laws enacted that deny teenagers access to weapons of such destruction as evidenced in the latest massacre...

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    What "greater good" could be served by rape not being deemed an immoral act? What's your idea of the "greater good" itself even?

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    What "litany of silly questions"? Sure, we don't know exactly how things are going to pan out in the future but barring an extinction level event it's a safe bet that technology will advance and if recent history has told us anything (in the West at least) it's that people's rights and freedoms...

    Suicidality and the Second Amendment

    "You folks"? I'm not interesting in confiscating yours or anyone else's guns thanks. I am interested in seeing changes to laws that make it more difficult for people like Ramos to get hold of such so easily but that's not the same thing. Again, why bring countries that have no such gun culture...

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    My imagination is just fine thanks Pure but thanks for the thinly veiled insult anyway. Why would people want to abandon having loving and fulfilling relationships where sex is mutual in favour of some non defined "technological method"? Like what exactly? This is as vague as anything and even...

    Suicidality and the Second Amendment

    Then why bring England, Australia etc into the equation at all in regards to "gun rights"?

    The Religion of Blinding Bluster

    In what way could rape be justified or necessary to ensure the future of the species? If it came to the point where that's "justifiable" then the human race has all but died out already.

    Suicidality and the Second Amendment

    Gun rights and suicidality are two separate things, not intertwined and England, Australia etc never had a 'gun culture' to start with as that's pretty much a USA only thing. It's irrational to state that countries that don't have a gun culture try to help people prone to depression by not...

    Fiona Hill: "The president was trying to stage a coup"

    How so? Not to say that every outlet center-left publishes truth verbatim but the far right have a practical monopoly on pushing the dubious to flat out bat crazy.
