Shit is Fucked Up

[Griff]

So I had to turn off the news today as Hillary v Trump continues to look likely. Two broken parties taking it out on the rest of us. Thankfully this was what popped out of my thumb drive.

That's fucked up

I used to really like The Offspring, but, the screaming just gets to me now.

But, yes, shit is fucked up.

[Griff]

I still have much love for them in my heart.

[BigV]

Shit *is* fucked up, and then:

[Griff]

Oh, hell yeah!

I know this is a thread about a different style of politics.
But the title says it all.

Why in the name of all shitty fucked-uppiness attack Belgium.

Oh. Because they can.
It's like how the IRA (yeah, you know, my hobby horse) went for the weakest targets.

Despite the jokes about the French being cheese-mongering surrender-monkeys, they fought hard for their country. They were hit by the murdering arseholes this time round because France is a non secular country, and if you don't follow the laws of the Koran that match your own personal view, everyone except you and your male friends deserve to die (NOTE this is my view on ISIS, not Islam).

But "Plucky little Belgium" gets more approbation.
That's fine by me. They fought like fury.
And now. And now. 26 dead so far.
I wish I were less of a bleeding heart liberal sometimes. So I could hate the haters and want them publicly executed.

Shit is fucked up.

This week in Australia, some idiot took a Muslim woman's headscarf off and then apparently ridiculed her for the rest of the bus trip. He was later arrested then released on bail. So a Muslim cleric then says we should be concerned that the Muslim community might take things into their own hands. I'm sorry, but what more can he want? I'm a tolerant person, but I don't believe those sort of overt threats will do anything to help anyone.

I don't see that as an overt threat. I also see it as a warning that wacko Muslims may become emotional (like a child) and then become violent.

His words have multiple meanings depending on personal biases or perspective. But we do know why people punch out others in a Trump rally, why bombers must do killing because their god is a false idol so pathetic as to be incapable of killing, why Nazi (and others) knew torture and genocide is good, and why so many even knew Saddam was a threat to America. In every case, intelligent thinking (that defines an adult) was replaced by emotions (that define childish rationalizations).

Obviously an idiot who was later arrested was an adult acting like a child. But what was the cleric saying? Did he justify violence like a child or warn that even many Muslims adults are only children?

Why do you hate children so much? Was your childhood so bad? We are all children underneath the layers of repression and adult inhibitions.

I'm not defending the unconscious behavior described on either side, for the record... Simply wondering why you have such a fixation on labeling people as childish.... And anyways in a negative way. Was your childhood particularly difficult?

You have used your own emotion to assume something that does not exist. The sentences are about others. "I" am irrelevant to what is in every paragraph.

Hate is an emotion found in those adults who are still children. Please read what is posted; not what you feel.

This is what Jim is talking about t-dub. You seem to have a very negative perception of children. The worst and most consistent insult you level at adults is that they are like children.

Personally, I think if more adults acted like children the world might be a better place.

I posted an interrogative. I made an observation to support the reason for the question. I offered no emotional position. I'm just trying to understand you.
