Boston Bombing

[BjornF16]

It seems that red letters and argumentum ad hominem are all that pass for tools in your debate toolkit.


Here are some reflections prompted by the Boston Marathon Bombing that are interesting even if they do come from a retired sociology professor:

And, just to head off the thought police and inquisitors before they get revved up, I do not agree with everything he posits. Can you see the "not"? It's shorter, so it's even harder to see than "...and others'...."

LOL...Since you bring it up again, your previous post was obviously directed at me. I was just clarifying what I had posted (since you lumped what "others" had posted in with my comments), and it wasn't just in regards to the "hydration" post you made, it was a general condemnation of various posts you've made in various threads (as you are clearly intelligent enough to already know). "Moron" was over the top, and in the spirit of brotherly love I already apologized for that remark in a previous post.

It doesn't matter that you are a self proclaimed Catholic, and that certainly doesn't mean you should be given a pass on some pretty incendiary comments in the various threads. (Actually, it should mean that you should hold yourself to a higher standard.)

You had a laundry list of things that are "evil"…what about ethnic hatred, political hatred, and anti-semitism? Aren't those equally evil? Isn't any hatred intrinsically evil?

Maybe explain how "Love thy neighbor" and remarks about "The Kenyan" and "kosher" are reconciled...

In regards to the professors' post on Boston (keeping in line with this thread), it seems to me that the people of Boston (and surrounds) weren't too bothered by the house to house searches (obviously a breach of 4th Amendment)…is the professor suggesting all of Boston is not "sane"?

All sane Americans want all of these vast killings and woundings and other atrocities that happen routinely in America to stop. But no sane American wants to go berserk over one such event in Boston, shut down the city and transport and schools and send in vast armies of overt and secret police and armored military forces and murder more of the Constitution to stop a few psychotic murderers. Only the psychotics ruling our society and the ignorant citizens they terrify with their Media insanity want those ghastly things.
