Cleanup complete. Common Sense went buh-bye. Dya would be so happy, his remembrance thread got to cause the mods one last headache.

No, you'll just support an environment that encourages other people to do so, and tell yourself your hands are still clean. They are not. You are complicit in every drop of our blood that is spilt, and may your god judge you for that.

But that video goes toward cultural relativsm and regressive leftists who refuse to ackowledge that islamic culture, as it currently stands, is inferior to western culture. Western culture is far from perfect, but it has, legally and socially (as a whole) rejected the intense bigotry and discrimination that still plagues middle eastern islamic culture. It was through pressure from progressives against Christianity that got western Christians and the rest of western society to totally change (again it has not reached a wholly perfect endgame but the progress has been massive) the legal and social views of homosexuality and LGBTQ as a whole. But those very same progressives outright refuse to pressure Islam and islamic culture for the same things - hell, worse things. Regressive leftists love to complain about christians and conservatives in the first world for not supporting gay marriage but refuse to pressure and discuss muslims - those in muslim countries as well as immigrants to the first world/west - who by and large believe homosexuality should not only be illegal but should be punishable by death; these people would rather tolerate intolerance than admit in some places that western culture has objective moral superiority to Islamic culture.
And this obviously relates to the orlando shooting in that no shortage of people will find anything BUT islam to blame - from guns to donald trump - for Omar's actions. Other things contributed, yes, but the primary motivation was that the man was taught to hate himself and his homosexuality because of his religious beliefs.
So you've latched onto the culture war screed of some YouTube manbaby because you like the sound of how progressives supposedly appease Islam and Muslims at every turn.
Nobody here has actually fucking insisted that Islam has absolutely no factor at all in Omar Mateen snapping.
What is being pointed out is that it's pure Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad bullshit to treat Mateen like some pious holy warrior who was dedicated to the cause from Day One when his documented history shows he was nowhere near observant of Islam and that he didn't know jack shit about terror groups or had any actual connections to them. Mateen's 911 "pledges" were nothing more than attention-whoring validation of his self-hatred and projection of it onto the Pulse patrons.
Also, the culture war bullshit is an attempt to dismiss and downplay the role that Christianity has played in the oppression of LGBTs in the United States.
Was it Muslims who forced Bill Clinton to compromise on LGBTs in the military with Don't Ask Don't Tell? Was it Muslims who pushed for the Defense of Marriage Act? Was it Muslims who pushed through Proposition 8 in Caifornia? And was it Muslims in North Carolina and Oklahoma that enacted bathroom bills?
It's rather tempting to act like it's Not So Bad just because they don't throw LGBTs off rooftops now isn't it? Much more convenient and lazy to point the finger at some foreign religion that has little to no power here and some foreign powers that nobody here has a realistic chance to change much less overthrow because The Muslim Menace is a convenient scapegoat to distract from how it's Christians that have the real power here and insured the inequality for decades.

Their grieving families are just little pawns for you to checkmate your online enemies?
Just stop arguing and think for a goddamned minute. Reports are emerging that the crisis is ending, that law enforcement has solved the situation. Think of what the people involved are thinking. Think of the injured. Think of the brave men and women trying to save lives out there. Think of the victims and their families. Think of the families and friends of every person in that area. Some of them haven't heard anything from them yet. Are they dead? Are they hostages? Are they all right? The human suffering surrounding this immense, and the first thing you do? You sit down at your computer and say, "hurr, hurr, I told you, ebil Mozlumz." What. The. Fuck.
You people should be ashamed. Within 20 minutes you corrupted this from a time to offer condolences and prayers into petty political mudslinging.

The fuck? Terrorism is inherently political. This is a political situation with political aims. That's neither funny nor awesome, it's fucking stupid. When are people going to start bitching about us politicizing the presidential election?

Cannot think of a name wrote:Okay, well...clearly we haven't considered the nationwide epidemic of warm water mannequins clogging up our roadways. It was right in front of our faces this whole time...dammit, the warm water mannequin, what where we thinking?
This does throw a warm water mannequin in to the whole thing doesn't it?
I mean, as we all know, a human driver encountering a warm water mannequin during rush hour traffic will naturally go, "Well, I don't care if that's got warm water in it or not, I'm driving straight through that motherfucker..." and no delay will be caused at all. And if we allow the driverless car to avoid an obstacle of that nature helicopters might land on it, clearly. Shit. Well, this rash of warm water mannequins in the road really is a sticky wicket. I mean, it happens so often you'd think it'd be right there in the forefront of our concerns.
Wait...is the passenger tranquilized during the trip? Maybe we should reconsider that option, because it might provide a solution. Hear me out.
Clearly we are supposing that any kind of manual override is unavailable. In all seriousness, studies in driverless cars have seemed to indicate that the most dangerous thing about driverless cars is twitchy drivers overriding the cars, but even then fine movement of the car in garages or moving the car in small spaces might just be easier to let the driver do it. But clearly this option doesn't exist because if it did we could simply just move around the mannequin once the occupant has gone, "Why, that's just a mannequin filled with warm water in the road. You see it every day, I'm afraid..."
So I propose two options. First, lets disable that function that locks the car doors and straps the passenger into their seat so that they can't move once an obstacle is encountered. I don't know why we put that there in the first place. Now, in our worst case scenario, the ubiquitous warm water mannequin can be removed and traffic can flow.
However, getting out of your car might be scary. But we can't let all these warm water mannequins littering our streets terrorize well meaning self driving car owners and we can't let a car move around an obstacle without the fear of helicopters landing on it in case it isn't a warm water mannequin and in fact an actual dude. So, I propose a button on the dash. Your driverless car encounters a warm water mannequin with its arm up and it decides, "Well, it must be a road worker and we can't go around it because helicopters might land on us" you can check if it's in fact a plastic person and there are no helicopters and you can push the Warm Water Mannequin Button that says, "Nope, that's just one of those warm water mannequins you see all the time and the sky is helicopter free, you may proceed."
I think we got it.
