It's still not an excuse, and neither side of this deserves to be defended. As I've been saying this whole time - they're both wrong. One side isn't more wrong than the other.
So, is violence a good way to stop racism? Is defending violence a good way to stop racism?
Well, maybe if you'd be clearer in explaining what you're saying, I wouldn't need to make such assumptions, because it certainly sounded like that's what you were saying..
I simply don't see what the controversy is. Racism exists. Duh. :sleep:
So, in your view then, it's legally acceptable to assault someone if they do something racist?
I'm not saying it's ok to be racist, I'm just saying that two wrongs don't make it right, and the suggestion that violence is equal to justice makes no sense to me.
It isn't fair to paint just one...
I think you misunderstand.
This isn't about celibacy to attain the priesthood, this is about homosexuals being celibate so they won't be labeled as "living in sin".
Maybe I'm just daft, but when did it become OK to assault someone?
If these kids had a problem, then surely there was some other way to solve it than beating another one to a inch of his life.
Know what? They're both wrong. End of story. :rolleyes:
It varies from year to year. Before I moved upstate I was a member of a Pagan group, so we would celebrate together with a circle and then a pot-luck type thing. Now, it all depends on where I'll be, and whether or not I join another group in the future.
I still go to my mother's place for...
If it honors God, or mis changed to do so, then what's the problem?
To be honest, I think all the "Pagan Origins of Christmas" tirades are exaggerated, and blown out of proportion. I celebrate both Christmas and the Pagan counterpart of Yule, and the only crossover between my celebrations...
And, you just said you did, but you offered no other statement onto how, or where you researched these things. To be totally frank, I just don't believe you, because the evidence suggests that your research skills leave something to be desired.
Maybe you can take some of the evidence provided...
So, what exactly are the sources of research for these claims? Have you don't any research or fact checking yourself? From what I see here, you're just an uninformed parrot who is happy to just accept what this guy says without employing any modicum of critical thinking.
And, most people don't...
Oh yeah, us Pagans and our dirty Christmas trees, gifts, and other plant related decorations. It's all pard of our insidious plot to get people to become tree-hugging, peace-loving, granola chomping hippies. Insidious, I tell you.
:rolleyes:
