The Seriously? Theatre of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts V

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Holy sh**t, I tried to express my view that as descendants of Abraham, Muslims should be peaceful and not murder gays, Jews, women and non-believers. The Shadowy Abyss came in and told me that I had no intelligence and that he supported the attacks because Trump was against them and he HATES Trump.

This guy..... I NEVER once said I supported the attacks...

That may be the most despicable allegation ever leveled at an Atlas poster. Wow.

Can we just count Wulfric's whole name change as a bad post?

As a fellow Muslim, I have only sympathy for #TheShadowyAbyss.

Interesting. A Muslim murders gays and somehow it's Trump's fault?

MohamedChalid simply won't tolerate (the intolerant person that he is) the idea that the Koran is to blame, since it outclasses Mein Kampf as an anti-Semitic, misoygnist, homophobic book.

What about the young people who vote Republican? Is there such an animal? Is the Republican party attracting the youth vote at all? I'm so curious about how Bernie attracted them. It wasn't about the Dem party, it was about what his message was all about. The Republican party doesn't appear to do anything to attract the young vote, or the female vote for that matter.

I have said this before ....
In our world, our nation and our communities, we are ALL becoming slowly and more and more "liberal" as time continues to tick. Because information is easily available online and on our phones, we learn more easily about different cultures and people, and thus become "more accepting."
And the earlier in life we are exposed to this (as children), the more of a chance that you will follow an ideology that is more liberal as an adult (and then the more of a chance that you pass-on and educate your own children, with this same ideology and acceptance.)
This trend will not change.

I hate to say it, but the Republican Party is not a party of "accepting" different cultures and people. The GOP is stuck in the 1950's or 1960's. Members of this party continue to use vocabulary and statements, time and again, which refuses to embrace anyone who is not white, Christian and heterosexual.

Most young people today, don't "get this." They see and become friends with someone different from them, and don't have a problem. It's older generations that are stuck in time, and refuse to change. Luckily all of us old bastards, die off ..... and we leave the next generation to govern and make laws that allow ALL PEOPLE their right to live and be accepted in society, equally.

God, here we go again.

Yeah, so that explains why there are fewer religious minorities in the Middle East now than there were 50-100 years ago, right?

Not to mention the fact that fundamentalism of all kinds is on the rise (outside the West, of course).   The idea that the end result for the world will be "All Liberal, All the Time" is laughable.

It's a very Whiggish idea of history, isn't it?

Ironic considering what happened to them.

History is cyclical.  We tend to see things right know as J-shaped growth in terms of progress and social change due to rapid technological changes, but not everything goes in one direction.

I know I'm going to be dismissed as a loony leftist or something, but I believe that nobody should be allowed to own a gun.

Why do people own guns?

Self-Defense: Your bedside gun to protect yourself from an invader is more likely to end in an accident involving you shooting yourself, than in the protection of you. Not nearly enough crimes are prevented by people because they have guns to make this argument reasonable. So many people are shot by toddlers each year that it's really hard to justify this.

Hunting: Animal cruelty, and it's completely useless. Nobody hunts for food in 21st century America.

I look forward to arguing with someone over this.

" Nobody hunts for food in 21st century America." is a very false statement.

Yes. The opening post is garbage.

Maybe his username is Seriously? because that's how people react to his posts.

Not surprising. The guy frequented a gay bar.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Context: BRTD posted this sad little bit of sophomoric religious bickering in the Good Post Gallery:

Hillary is a proud Methodist. 

That's the best anti-Hillary argument I've heard yet! Who's proud to be a Methodist

Beats being a Catholic.

(And, yes, BRTD putting it in the Gallery would still be a bad post if it were some other religion he and Santander didn't like.)
