  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) Sure Pat "I was for Ariel's stroke because he divided the Holy Land until I was against Ariel's stroke 'cause I couldn't have my Theme Park" Robertson has his followers, and has called for assassinations, and other such crap. However, his (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) But this is not a trial in court. One is innocent until proven guilty in this country, and so you just can't convict somebody for state of mind or intent. Now, as for Fred Phelps and Eric Rudolph, they are clearly deranged and insane. So write (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) John, I simply can't accept that. (...) All evidence suggests that Fred Phelps and Pat Robertson and Eric Rudolph and all the rest would engage in murderous violence--and their followers would support them--if only they thought that they could (...)

  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) The temptation to equate intolerant Islam and the intolerant Christian Right is simply too great and self-servingly too delicious for the Left to resist. Don't fall into that blinkered, bigotted hole, Dave! I will grant to you that both sides (...) (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

  Re: How Do You Solve A Problem Like
 
(...) Sigh! Voters these days, don't like anything innovative ;) Tim PS. That was my tame response. I have a significantly more practical but even less politically feasible one but I'd need to be drunk to air it. (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: How Do You Solve A Problem Like
 
(...) Refreshingly forthright and brilliantly impractical. Well played, but you're not likely to win any political contests with entries like that! (you'd have my vote though). (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)  
 
  Re: How Do You Solve A Problem Like
 
(...) Whoops! (...) Strictly speaking you should probably call him President Ahmadinejad if you expect the courtesy to be extended to other leaders. But I was mainly teasing you because I remembered you telling someone else off for it ;) (...) I (...) (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

Ahmadinejad, if that is even what you are talking about. Are you referring to the fact (...) (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: How Do You Solve A Problem Like
 
(...) Tsk tsk tsk John. You (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong) have told people before to addess the US President by his proper title as opposed to George Dubya so I would expect the same courtesy extended to the Iranin President.

  Re: How Do You Solve A Problem Like
 
(...) I did say "seriously".... If in case you are serious (which I seriously doubt), then there is a problem with your solution-- the Iranians apparently thought of that already and have substantially decentralized their stuff, making a 1 shot (...)

  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) Alles klar, Herr Kommissar. (...) Exactly. But are fundamentalists more apt to resort to violence in promoting/defending their ideals? I'm thinking not, and so I suspect that the seeds of violent intolerance are sown elsewhere. I have a (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) Let's be clear, though; I'm not saying that only fundamentalism breeds intolerance, nor that all fundamentalists are intolerant. Perhaps a better word than "fundamentalist" in this context is "absolutist," meaning someone who claims to have (...) (19 years ago, 6-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) Does it actually breed it? I don't believe one needs to be a fundamentalist to be intolerant. I have come across many intolerant liberals lately, though I doubt they'd ever admit it. I'm wondering: in order to be truly intolerant, does one (...) (19 years ago, 6-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) I'm not sure that that's correct. Paul Mirecki, of KSU, was attacked for speaking out against fundamentalist Christians and for (rightly) labeling Intelligent Design "Creationism." Abortion clinics have been bombed by people "doing the Lord's (...) (19 years ago, 6-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
