Strasbourg terrorist incident

[Toaslandia]

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Okay, this all got nihilistic fast

It also turned into a religion vs atheist war.

Why don't they flee to neiboughooding (sorry for misspel) countries? You know... with similar laws and cultures? Oh right, because people there don't throw you stuff for free and they kill you if you rape someone. Unlike Europe.

I mean, if the entire United States were a warzone, I wouldn't settle for fleeing from North Carolina to Pennsylvania, one warzone to another, I'd want to flee to England or France or somewhere far from it all.

Oh really? Are you sure, as an homossexual, that you'd not rather flee to a much more heart-warming country like Pakistan?

[Kaggeceria]

WOW, there really are a shit ton of migrants then! Since Europe took like, what? 2 Million?

Yes, there are; yes, it did.

Are you daring to insinuate that Napoleon made a mutually-beneficial deal with the United States instead of pimping Louisiana out as nothing more than a flat-grounded slut for America as I've so sarcastically suggested? The nerve of some people!

I mean, it was barely beneficial to us. Could have gotten a much better deal, but we were rushed. The Russians lost out on Alaska too. America's been lucky. Divine providence or whatever I guess.

Manifest Destiny, bud.

[Netherspace]

Oh, yeah, because everyone was atheist before Christianity. Not like the pagan religions were actually more illogical than Christianity or anything. Also, no one in human history has every willingly converted to Christianity!

Daily reminder that everyone is born atheist before brainwashing happens.

How did you get that from what I just said?

If you believed in a religion, you’d better hope your belief was the right one, and not, say, your Zoanastrian neighbor.

My belief is that if you believe in your religion and are faithful to it, you'll go to your afterlife. It seems atheists won't enjoy that privilege.

I believe that as long as you’re a legitimately good person, you go to heaven. Jesus was always more heavy on the “don’t be a dick” part then the “worship me” part.

My belief is that if you believe in your religion and are faithful to it, you'll go to your afterlife. It seems atheists won't enjoy that privilege.

If you only worship to go to heaven, then your God is forcing you to worship him. Have fun in heaven...slave.

Like, all theists are like, slaves to God!!!! Also, God doesn’t exist, so checkmate!!!

Tsk tsk, talk like this is why the British won.

"'Strasbourgistan'! There -- now it's Muslim, now he's an illegal!"

But bleak jokerie aside -- can we for once not do as this guy evidently did and drag ALL Muslims or immigrants or Basques or whatever into the bloody stake? Can we fucking not?

Between the whatabouttery, the pogrom fetishism and the puerile right-wing clownerie, no, we can't.

I don't get it.

Just so we're clear, I'm absolutely against using all Muslims as scapegoats.

What exactly is 'pogrom fetishism'?

The poster who consistently comes on to posts about terrorism in Europe, most often France as it so happens, and when the bodies are not yet cold, starts to rant and rave about the impending pogroms and slaughters Muslims in France and Europe are about to experience, and which they never do.

Which is frankly to our credit, the modern Muslim world has done far more to minorities for far less.

No clue how that happened from an OP about a terrorist attack in France

I don't know if this is still the case, but at the height of the war in Syria, Lebanon housed two million (presumably majority Muslim) refugees, far more than any other European country at the time.

It still does. I was on a research mission there this summer, they live in utter squalor.

It's NSG. This happens every time.

None of what you just said relates to my comment.

Ohhh I see, you meant fetishism in the political sense. Okay, I got seriously confused (cos I thought you meant the other type of fetish).

[Obri Central Republic]

According to Aellex it was.

Yes because a Christian would attack a market in connection in what is probably the holiest days in thr calender.

There was that one time where Jesus whipped people in a market

I think you got that wrong. He chased merchants out of a temple because they were forcing people to pay to pray.

Lebanon, the nation where sharia only applies to Muslims. Because otherwise it would be in a civil war. Again. You left out Jordan, suprisingly.

The Imperial Territory of Alsace-Lorraine will be reborn, my French friend.

Absolutely. As applicable to the facts of this case, and to the laws of Austria.

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting it was a generic ruling about whether Prophet Muhammad was a pedophile, but when a poster mentioned a 'ruling' regarding calling the Prophet Muhammad a pedophile I naturally assumed that was the case he was referring to. Now he's said he was referring to a mod ruling not a Strasbourg ruling, so I stand corrected.

It's fine. But I had flashbacks to the thread about this, where I and some other poster(s) had to play wack-a-mole with posters who read an incredibly biased title and OP that claimed that the ECHR had made a Europe-wide blasphemy law applicable only to Islam; and I was not gonna have that issue pop up again.

I thought that after 2 WW's, 2 partitions, and a communist occupation, Germany would've learnt its lesson. I guess we went easy on them?

Napoleon's Empire did include the Rhineland...

I don't know who this "we" is.

[Netherspace]

Oh, this made me laugh out loud. Napoleon never “whored out” Louisiana to America, he sold it to get money so he could win the war. And he failed, so sucks to be him.

And the US Customary Units is only because no one wants to have to learn a whole new measurement system. Personally, I would be okay with it, but I’m in the minority.

Um, yeah. If you don’t show any indication that you were being sarcastic, I have no reason to think you were.

I mean, it was barely beneficial to us. Could have gotten a much better deal, but we were rushed. The Russians lost out on Alaska too. America's been lucky. Divine providence or whatever I guess.

Tsk tsk, talk like this is why the British won.

Oh, but you know, they didn’t. Unless you’re using that completely imperceptible sarcasm again.

I mean, they are a warzone, so... I don't get what you're asking.

I'm a Christian, but this made me chuckle.

"We" as in the French people. We shoudl've taken Piedmont from Italy too!

Its called ES v. Austria. Enjoy: http://www.bailii.org/eu/cases/ECHR/2018/891.html

I was talking about a mod ruling.

Fricken forum software, I swear.

Ok, I have carved out the last ten pages of this. Everyone involved in this thread was tap dancing right on the line in multiple ways. We had discussion of pedophilia, close to outright avocation, which you guys should damn well know by now is not allowed here. We had flaming that went RIGHT to the line. We had trollnaming. etc.

Pretty much I believe I would be justified in just starting to swing my hammer and see who I hit at this point.

I won't. For all of this, I feel that we stayed JUST inside the line. JUST. Another Mod might feel differently and to be frank, if someone else feels that lines were stepped over, I shall not shed tears to be overturned here.

That said, Modly Commandment: Thou Shall Not Engage in This Topic Again.

There are multiple arguments to be made about Muhammad and about what he did or did not do. THIS particular topic, his marriage to a girl who in today's world would be considered underage, is obviously leading to areas that are not allowed. Drop it. He married her a number of centuries ago, and we'll go with that. The rightness/wrongness/morality of it, etc. should be avoided from here on out due to the inability to stay away from areas of avocation.

That ends this. I will leave this topic locked for a bit to get this point across.

Haha don't worry, I'm actually a law student and that case was on my law reading list, and if I wrote in the exam that ES held that 'it is now illegal to say the Prophet Muhammad is a pedophile' I suspect it'd be an automatic fail lol

Ey, I'm just saying it was a bit extreme because that was a pretty sinny thing to do ngl

And now, I'm going to hell!
