FactsAreUseless posted:If you read the Pew report, one of the points they make is that most of the respondents just like whatever laws their country has, which is true for every country around the world. Real reforms need to be made in these countries: liberalization, democratization, civil rights, etc. When that happens, you'll see more Muslims in favor of those things, because most people support the dominant laws and culture in their homeland. That isn't achieved by saying "all Muslims bad" or implying it or whatever stupid point is being made. How is that going to happen?

Maybe they will fix it eventually after they stop getting bombed every day or they might all die of being savages, either way, the problem will be solved I'm okay with them doing honor killings etc in their own countries (it's their culture, you see) but I wouldn't like it if that kind of thing was happening down the street

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:The problems of FGM in North Africa or the widespread systemic poverty in Egypt have nothing to do with how many kids Mohamed diddled. If he had diddled 30% less kids, everything would have been exactly the same. Why are you bringing up this bullshit in a serious discussion? Are you also bringing up Washington's wooden teeth in a discussion about the opioid epidemic in the Midwest and how to combat it? I like how the fact that he diddled kids at all is just something to be casually glossed over

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:Like, seriously, imagine two people talking about the Israel/Palestine situation. Talking about violence escalation, settlement policy, the hypothetical demographics and parliament coalitions of a one vs. a two state solution, etc. and then some braindead idiot stumbles into the room and starts rambling about the problems with modern day Judaism, how pedophile Noah diddled his daughters and then your loving eyes start rolling so far back into you head that you can see your own brain. This is how sane people feel every time someone starts bringing up historical trivia about Mohamed in serious discussions about the situation in the Middle East. Yeah and when you start trying to talk about the problems prevalent in modern islam instead, all of a sudden you get... bah gawd, is that Sykes-Picot's music???

boner confessor posted:it's always good when people don't understand an argument, and then insist that their obvious misinterpretation of that argument was correct all along. gee i wonder why you don't do well in forums which require more communicative skill than dry mouthed hooting. pointing out that some criticisms are obviously couched in racist thinking is not the same as "all criticism of thing is racist" Which criticisms of Islam in this thread were couched in racist thinking?

Squashing Machine posted:FAU, I am a liberal, and I've been a part of these forums for 12 years. You seem to be deeply confused by why people still want these "trump is fine" threads around. Let me tell you, it's a response to the fact that you've been modding your politics. Goons, if nothing else, are complete contrarians, and the moment they think someone's trying to take their ability to say something away, they'll get 100 times worse about it. You've definitely come down on conservative posters harder for equivalent transgressions than you've come down on liberal posters. Is it really any surprise that Lowtax had to come around to call out the state of the forums? It's okay, eventually it blows up and the situation equilibrates (see: negromancer)

FactsAreUseless posted:D&D has some rules that are helpful (no cheerleading etc.) but which don't seem easily applicable in GBS. I mostly mod the politics threads these last couple weeks because I'm the guy who's willing to read them. The consequence of that is I'm the guy who likes to talk politics. Do you think these rules, or the interpretation thereof, have helped foster debate and discussion in the Debate and Discussion subforum, because based on Raspberry Jam It In Me's input in this thread it sure doesn't fuckin look like it lmao

FactsAreUseless posted:There's a lot more of this in CSPAM than you think. There are a few conservatives of various sorts there. Try the Suck Zone too. D&D doesn't appeal to me not because there are too many of one thing or not enough of another, I just prefer the lighter CSPAM style where I can read a couple pages of a thread, have fun with it, and not have to follow a 60 page argument. See, that's what I liked about these GBS trump threads but it seems like most of the right wing guys are gone because they keep eating 30 day chain probes??

bushisms.txt posted:No it's not. Women in the South are being treated like baby making property due to Christianity. The poor are poo poo on, because they're taught to pray not act to help others, so communities die while others just watch and pray, when they could've helped. "Christians" like Mike pence want to torture lgbt in to being straight. Are we forgetting that these Nazis were overwhelmingly voted into office because of these "evangelicals?" The current battle over the aca is being waged by self proclaimed Christians. Again, Christians have a hand in killing more Americans than any other terrorist group, yet we have more of a problem with another very similar religion with their own extremists. Oh okay you weren't talking about the beheading kind of extremist, you were talking about the sternly worded letter to the editor kind
