it wasn't that uncommon long ago for kids in general to get the crap beat out of them in the name of [christian] discipline.
or raped in the case of Gay Women. Still happens in this country but not near as often as it used to or near as much as it happens in other countries

and of course I should also add that in many of these countries they are doing these things with the explicit support of American Evangelicals. Who can forget that American's supported and campaigned for the Death Penalty for Homosexuals in Uganda (and elsewhere)

I needed him last night...had a freaking psycho coach who wanted to fight me and my partner over a 10u baseball game...jackhole. If he was in Houston, I'd take his class. Instead, I just had my hand on my derringer I keep nearby for such auspicious occasions.
As he taught me, remember to stomp on the instep, rake the shins, blows to the throat and outside of the knees, and bending fingers (if the opportunity presents itself). Forget going after the family jewels. Too easy for you to miss or them to block, as guys instinctively look for that kind of attack.

The OP was about a wonderful couple who maimed their daughter.
Somewhere at some time some Christians were jerks.
Not all Muslims maim their daughters.

No one is disputing the latter two statements.
I'm still going to condemn the activity in the first.

I've always had the "Nut, nose, knee" approach myself. I'll have to change my approach and re-watch the scene from "Miss Congeniality."

Your first few posts in the thread read differently than not disputing the latter two statements. Though to be fair there's not much to those posts so there's room to interpret (or misinterpret) it as a blanket condemnation of an entire group of people based upon one story.

eta-Although I was referring to more than just your posts (or to more than just posts here in general) in my comment.

I thought I was pretty clear: I don't favor any culture that thinks it's ok to maim one's daughter.* Didn't think it was much of a stretch to hold such a view. I dislike such activity so much that I would not be in favor of such a person immigrating here.

*This does not mean I don't think some Christians can be jerks. And this does not mean I think all Muslims throw boiling oil on their daughters. This is a lazy, dishonest counter argument. It's also a non sequitur to the OP.

well, you know, those women are like that because they've never been satisfied by a real man. and how dare a lesbian not be hot.

i do not think it is ok have carnal relations with livestock. but i don't go around saying "i disagree with auburn culture" because i am pretty sure a majority of auburns aren't down with that.

Is it ok to condemn the portion* of auburn culture that has carnal relations with livestock? Because that would be a correct analogy to the OP.




*I question your assumption that a majority aren't down with that.

You can call it lazy or dishonest if you want but if you actually read what I wrote you would see that I said it could be minterpreted and that it wasn't only about your posts. Such dishonesty on my part....

My point is that the pushing of these types of articles across the internet is to inflame things and paint Muslims as bad and scary people as a whole when we should be focused more on painting Floridians as bad and scary people as a whole.

Sigh. I didn't say you were being lazy and dishonest. I was referring generally to the lazy and dishonest strategy of creating a strawman argument. The OP was about a specific incident.

and you expanded on it to take a jab at an entire culture (still can't quite figure out which culture), creating your own overgeneralization.
