jakee 1,596 #51 August 23, 2007 QuoteQuoteComing from the guy who is currently trying to expand the DZ.com restrictions to seemingly anything critical of his own beliefs Actually I'm not. Just trying to figure out why there seems to be a double standard. You haven't yet explained what the double standard is. Is Jon Stewart a bigot for making fun of political parties? Was the Simpson's "Stonecutter" episode bigotted because it parodied The Freemasons?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go back and read my posts in this thread. Instead of focusing on how to discount them, try to actually understand what I'm saying. If you do that, I think my point will be obvious. The key thing is you honestly trying to get my point.* Just so you know, my first post was intentionally over the top. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,596 #57 August 23, 2007 QuotePlease provide the quotes what I say that. QuoteI find it interesting that unabashed bigotry against Christianity, complete with mockery and derision, is considered perfectly acceptable on this forum, but one crack about blacks or pedophilia will get you banned. It's still BIGOTRY, just not against one of the "underclass". Or was it just a completely random coincidence that you decided to start spouting off about bigotry and racism in your first replies to this thread, that is about the FSM? Questions - 1) Is the FSM bigotry? If Yes, see my last post, if No, what the hell is your problem?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Yes, see my last post, if No, what the hell is your problem? Why so much hostility... or is it angst? Again - please quote where I say the FSM is bigotry. The post you quoted was a general statement. Quote You haven't yet explained what the double standard is. This is funny since you quoted it. Quote Your whole premise is whacked. What premise is that? I ask because the ignorance consistently displayed in your posts, which are only matched by your hostility, give me the distinct impression that you haven't a clue.

jakee 1,596 #66 August 24, 2007 QuoteIn other words you jumped to a pretty weak conclusion, that you're now trying to rationalize. A weak conclusion? Are you fucking kidding me? Your first response to a post about the FSM was to compare it to racist abuse, and your second post to the thread, a direct reply to a post that mentions nothing except the FSM, is a rant about anti-christian bigotry. There was nothing, nothing else in the thread up till that point that could possibly have set you off. So unless you're just in the habit of randomly railing against anti-religious bigotry for no particular reason the safe conclusion is that the FSM really, really gets under your skin. But anyway, you could f course clear everything up by giving a straight answer to my question (I know, you've never been able to do it before but there's a first time for everything) - Do you think the FSM is bigotry? If not, what made you throw your toys out of the pram? And BTW, I'm still waiting to see why the Nirvana thing wasn't a dodge.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
