it always really did piss me off how there was that one asshole who would talk to the other asshole, so none of us got to have an extra recess at the end of class. that's not fair to the rest of the class, which was quiet, content, and calm.
Bullshit. The media and liberal politicians are constantly making apologies and excuses for Muslims, and refuse to even equate terrorism with Islam. America and most of Europe are bending over backwards to accommodate Sharia and to kiss every Muslim's ass they can find. Muslims are NOT being unfairly punished because of "the actions of a few".
And the title of this post is ignorant bullshit as well. "The media" are leading the fight to claim that the terrorists are not Muslims and to try to brainwash the masses into believing that right-wing conservatives are "radicalising" these poor, unsuspecting, and otherwise peaceful persons. Hell the "media" blamed Orlando on Trump and the NRA! Even though Mateen said himself he was doing it for Islam!
I say again: BULLSHIT!
*Edit: not angry here. ;-)
Guestwho does have a valid point, though. This whole Muslim situation is being seriously blown out of proportion, and his unorthodox view is not necessarily incorrect. Not saying I'm on his side, just an observation.
Super funny how guestwho is ranting on "the media" when all he does is spread FOX News bullshit. How many muslims are living in the USA and in Europe and how many of those are terrorists? How does terrorism "equate" to islam? That would mean every muslim is a terrorist, which quite apparently is not true. What exactly does "bending down to sharia" mean? Certainly not prohibiting burkas and burkinis in france, or not equating islam and christianity in the USA and europe. And to Orlando: actually it was Trump and the NRA who used the tragic events in Orlando to try and push their own agenda, when it was quite apparent that this Omar Mateen guy was a troubled bigot and had no connection to ISIS other than his claims. And what media would deny that muslim terrorists are muslims? Its the muslim communities that beg to differ, same as most churches don't want to get mixed up with WBC supporters.
Good to hear from you again @funsubstanceuser! But try to be honest, you know from our previous conversations that I do not blindly accept what ANY news source says.
And it matters not a whit whether Mateen had any "official" connection to ISIS; he did what he did in their honor and in the name of Islam. And really? "What media would deny the terrorists are Muslims???" How about the Western media in general, and American media in particular. "That would mean every muslim is a terrorist." Come on man; where did I ever say that? I'd like to think that you're better than to have to resort to the strawman fallacy. I'm probably wrong, but I'd like to think so.
@soundslikehooplah talking about gun issues after a tragedy IS in fact a bad idea, because all they (liberals) do is blame inanimate objects and take advantage of the victims to push their anti-gun agenda. They never talk about banning knives after a knife attack; they never want to ban explosives and there have been more bombings than shootings by a lot. If we keep going, more people die in automobile accidents but we don't talk about "car control" or an "assault automobile" ban.
And here's a link to an article about Obama blaming guns and Republicans.

And before you think background checks are a good idea, we already have them and have had for decades.
Look man I'm not trying to get into a political debate right now. I disagree with you and that's ok you seem pretty angry about this so I'm just gonna let it be. Have a nice day dude
" I do not blindly accept what ANY news source says" -There's some truth to that: actually you act like Bill O'Reillys sock puppet, who is definitely not a news source. If the "western media in general" does what you say they're doing, how about one (1) example?
.
When you complain media would "refuse to even equate terrorism with Islam" then you do, don't you? So in your opinion islam = terrorism, no? How does this NOT make every muslim a terrorist?
.
The idea that people really blame actions like shooting on inanimate objects like guns isn't even a strawman fallacy cause that would do the mental capacities of a strawman wrong.
.
It's really rich to see you talking about logical fallacies.
@soundslikehooplah I'm far from angry. Holy shit. You asked for a link and I provided the first one I came up with, and gave a bit of explanation. I'm not assuming you are an idiot or anything, but many people do not stay up on such things so I gave a little depth to the narrative, if you will. It was as much for others reading this as for you. But no, I'm not the least bit angry here. In fact I'm kinda looking forward to another stimulating "debate" with @funsubstanceuser! Gotta get my lunch first though; he requires energy!
Yea, I can imagine you're hoping for a stimulating debate, problem is though that conversations with you only stimulate my bowel movements, so I'll pass.
Nope not angry. Annoyed with the Orwellian direction the government and their sycophantic media are taking this country (and a good chunk of the world actually) but not angry.
If anything I'll call it passionate.
Guys chill out, really this is a fun site, guestwho go to a Trump concert-rally, they do those things there, they're really fun, surreal in fact from what I've read. Also jbtw guestwho, if you've got time after you're done watching Fox News, look up Syria, okay? Look at the destruction Daesh's spewing there. Syrians' entire lives as they've know have been tilted upside down and don't you dare tell me differently. They're living breathing humans, look what the terrorist have done to them, and then tell us if you still believe if those of the same faith would do this to their "brother of faith." No, bro. I mean c'mon most Muslims would freak out at killing a spider because you aren't allowed to kill animals unless of course for food. So yeah g'day mate.
Ok I'm not even sure what just happened here. Guest, I couldn't be more chilled out unless I was sitting on a beach with a bucket of ice cold Coronas.
And I'm at a loss as to where Syria and Fox News come into the picture. I've never said Muslims don't kill Muslims.
Either I'm thick today or you're incoherent, my friend. I'm willing to accept either possibility.
Probably. That's always the fallback when leftists don't have a real argument. It's usually a dog whistle. I'm kinda lost on the rest of the rant too though.
