Prove it. How would I prove it? By converting to islam, changing my looks to look like an arab or pakistani, speak their language fluently and blow up a building and shoot 77 people, and see what the reactions would've been then, nation-wide and long-term? |

By converting to islam, changing my looks to look like an arab or pakistani, speak their language fluently and blow up a building and shoot 77 people, and see what the reactions would've been then, nation-wide and long-term? You mean you can't back up your ridiculous assertion ? Shocked. For the record, I suspect that anyone doing this level of monstrous insanity would get the same treatment. At this level things have to be seen to be done properly. |

I think it's fair to say that the reactions wouldn't be the same here in the States for the scenario that tgr is describing.

Well, yes. You'd invade somewhere that had nothing to do with the crime in question. lolz. And whatnot. |

You mean you can't back up your ridiculous assertion ? Shocked. For the record, I suspect that anyone doing this level of monstrous insanity would get the same treatment. At this level things have to be seen to be done properly. I realize that you're focusing on the whole "strict adherence to the law" etc etc etc, but while quite frankly I'd still be surprised if they did quite as diligent work if it had been done by a muslim, that's not what I was referring to, at all. You're making assumptions on the target of my statement, and you're missing the mark. Some background for my initial comment: there's been a lot of statements by various media and politicians about how awesome our "responding to the act of terrorism with love" reaction was, basically chestbeating about how much more awesome we are than other people (whomever those are). That's the drum we were drumming pretty goddamn hard a month or two after the bomb went off etc, and I'm saying that's bullshit. The reason I'm saying that's bullshit, is because I live in Oslo, and I saw how basically anyone who didn't look nordic enough became increasingly treated with suspicion for weeks after the bomb went off etc, even though newspapers were reporting who did it. We're not as awesome and "turn the other cheek" as we'd like to portray ourselves as to the world, we just got lucky it was "one of ours" this time. |

You used the word 'Society'. Your society is determined by the laws you live under. If you wanna talk about The People, next time use the phrase 'The Mob' and we'll know what you mean. The Mob is an entirely different beast. Quite Literally, a Beast and you shouldn't judge anyone or any society by what The Mob does. Hell, look at Fox in America or the Tabloids here or, fuck it, any message board anywhere to see what 'The Mob' thinks. Hell, we tried to string up Paediatricians for what they were DOING TO OUR KIDS THE MONSTERS.  I'm quite sure there's a large and vocal group in every country in the world who feel that Brevik should be shot in the back of the head and buried in a shallow grave, muslim or not. Doesn't make it a good idea, nor should it be used as a blanket judgement on a Society. |

The society defines the rules it lives by, the rules don't define a society.

Lum has been banned on Qt3 for telling Brian Koontz that he needed professional help after posting a long-winded defence of Anders Brevik.  SECONDED. WHAT... THE... FUCK? |

Well, this kind of explains that pro-Brevik postKoontz is mentally ill himself. He has stalked a member of this forum in real life. He identifies immediately with anyone who is grandiose, narcissistic, and delusional --- the more so the better --- and he will insist that they are misunderstood as he turns the topic to himself.

I'm going to just point out that it's Breivik, not Brevik.
And when I read the initial link to this topic I was actually thinking that Koontz was either mentally ill himself, or just an internet troll. Guess he's next for the straitjacket and padded room.

Surely most forum admins have some sort of mental illness ?

Huh.. got me to scroll through the banned user list there. I didn't realize he'd banned Dawn Falcon and Sinij.

Sinij got banned a while ago, yeah. He decided to go all MRA in their politics forum and eventually just got a bit too personal and too stupid in a reply to someone.

Who are Dawn and Falcon? Do we mean Falconeer?

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

No, Dawn Falcon. One Name. I can't remember his LTM-era handle. He switched over to Dawn Falcon on Corpnews years ago.
London guy, Jewish if his defense of anything related to Israel was any indication. (i.e. any criticism is antisemitism.) Scott doesn't strike me as having much tolerance for his brand of nonsense anymore. Much like Boogaleeboo sure wouldn't be accepted either.

Haha, all this time I thought Dawn Falcon was a woman, because I just assumed it was "her" actual name for some reason. 'Cause I've never actually interacted with him.

Sinij continued his absolutism about F2P titles as well and would start threads to argue the point. He released controls on the brakes of reasonability and decided to coast down into the well populated village of ARGLE BARGLE. |
