Are you actually this insensitive? Because if you are, that's quite impressive. Just because you hate religion, that doesn't mean you get to put them all down. A religion is a sacred thing to the people that follow it. Some people base their whole lives around religion. And you just threaten to destroy a text sacred to those people? That is completely unacceptable! It's rude, moronic, uninformed, and utterly intolerant. And above all, it's just wrong. I'm atheist, before you try and make a point about my religion. I follow the principles of Unitarian Universalism (and by the way, I'm betting you have no idea what that is), but at my core I don't believe that any religion is "right," (in its beliefs, that is; I'm not saying religions shouldn't exist) and I certainly don't believe in a higher power. I respect the fact that some people do, however, and doing anything as sacrilegious as burning a sacred text would never even begin to cross my mind. Sure, we're in a nation founded upon such values as free speech, but some things are going too far. As for your point about bombings, don't be so damn arrogant. We may overpower them, but let's face it. We have no way of knowing for sure what they have at their disposal. Not only that, but we are not invincible. Maybe they can't bring us down, but they can still do damage. And who says for sure it's just the Middle East we'd be fighting if this were to occur? The US is already regarded with international contempt. Something as hugely offensive as this could potentially sever allegiances with many of the nations we're allied with at the moment, even if it doesn't directly pertain to said nations. Maybe this is a worst-case scenario, but had this gone through, it could have led to World War III. And let's be honest. Not only is there no possible way we would've won that, but there's also no possible way the world could have recovered from it--assuming it survived at all. With the technology we have today, the entire planet could be wiped out. No wonder we're regarded with such condescension. A lot of us apparently never think. -Hero |

Yeah I'm insensitive......I follow the way I live not caring about what other people think. If I wanna burn a Quran I'll burn it. Big deal we have the freedom in America to do so. If they wanna get huffy about us burning a book that we are able to burn in our own country.....then they are the ones who have issues. It's called tightwad people who can't take it when there beliefs are bashed and critized....or w/e. If they start the war over us burning a book in our own country and we're the ones who are doing wrong? I mean wtf all we did was burn a book, and now they wanna kill us? They burn our flag and w/e all the time yet we don't press the damn Nuke button. I don't care what your religion is, but really learn to take things with a grain of salt. People are way to serious about crap....especially the people in the middle east with their religious stuff. They should learn to accept that not everyone thinks like them. Learn and accept that. |

Please don't bump a topic just to continue an argument. It sparks unnecessary flame wars that we don't need. Everyone has their own opinions on subjects, so please respect that and just let it be. There's no need to insult or get upset about it. If you insist on keeping it going, please take it to PMs, as I don't really want to see it here. Otherwise, I'll have to lock this thread. Thanks. |

Insulting one another is not considered debating, it's considered flaming and attacking. Also what PLZ said, please do not avoid the filters. Those are put there for a reason. Locking this, I don't think we need to say anything else in here. I'll unlock it only if Air (topic creator) asks me to. |
