Way to go, Calpoon...this one is up there with your best efforts.
I can't speak to your personal life; but my family, the families of my friends, and the people I work with and their families are not so assaulted by violence, that we do not notice when it occurs.
Very rarely...and no one in my immediate sphere has ever killed anyone, or participated in any killings of anyone for reasons of hate, offended honor, or the like...
I do have experience of violence committed by criminals and the like, and any men who beat women here are arrested...it is illegal to commit violence unprovoked by an assault.
Are you claiming to have actual knowledge that Sharia Law is a myth, a fraud like 911, the moon landing, and all the reports of stonings, executions of women for adultery in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, or any Islamic ruled area of the planet?
You really think anyone but you and maybe a few Rosie O'Donnell types truly think we are just like "them", and there is as much killing of women here for simple acts of individuality outside the religious guidelines of Christianity/Judaism as there is in Iraq and the middle East for the same actions under the rule of Islam? Really?
And a crime of murder done by people in prison forever (your example of the dragging murder) is your example of how it's the same here as there, where the police helped kill the girl in the videos and sure as hell didn't arrest anyone, let alone put them on death row.
That's your best example of how we are just like them, and they aren't so bad?
What else? Was your point that since I haven't been standing there when a female was stoned to death, that there hasn't ever been a case of anyone ever being shot, stabbed, beheaded, stoned, or plain beat to death by anyone anywhere for reasons dictated by a religious code of conduct that demands such a thing?
Are you really claiming that Judeo/Christian disapproval, and ostrisization, for extramarital activity amounts to the same thing as Sharia executions for the same activities? We are all just folks here, basically?
It's pitiful how you'll say anything, no matter how silly or disrespectful, to try and sound like you have something to say.
This is one of your worst posts yet, and you have said some off the wall stuff before.
YOU don't know of any other occurences, maybe; I would never make such a statement knowing as I do that the tenets of Islam today, 2007, require severe punishments for infractions of these natures; I also KNOW that no Christian/Jewish girl lives under such a threat of extreme punishment in the West.
Whether a Muslim father would forgive his daughter somewhere, or a Christian father would murder his daughter for loose morals isn't an absolute negation of the fact that out of millions of people in both situations the chances are extremely likely that a Muslim will commit severe physical harm upon a female guilty of loose morals, where a Western parent/family member wouldn't even think of it.
You and Fox can backslap each other 'til the cows come home, but there will never be any examples for either of you to show how we are just like the third world, that all the violence committed on our population (not allowed, frowned upon, illegal) by our worst members compares to the allowed, condoned, and commonly accepted level of sexual enslavement and extreme violence of the third world found in the East, Africa, and elsewhere in Asia and Indochina, especially where Islam is prevelant.
The Kurds are just as insane as the Iraqis there, feeding off of each others attitudes; I have no faith in our common humanity ensuring safety for the weakest of us, but at least the enlightened tenents of the Western lifestyle allows for some freedom of movement; I am so tired of no credit being given for so many years of actual progress in the area of human relations.
