redirtuo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I watched the entire video and saw none of what you are alluding to. For example: when the comic spoke about the muslim woman and her hijab issue, the comic was clear to point out his own position of being an atheist. Yes, the joke may seem to be at the expense of a particular religious group; however, taken within a greater context of 'why should anyone's particular religious practice impede on the free choices of another person', was the point. And I find that to be a very important point in a free society. One may believe what they wish to; however, if you want to shove it down my throat, I have a big problem with that entitled perspective. If I have to tippy-toe around eveyone else's sensibilities, then where is my liberty? To automatically expect another person to subscribe to another's religious/moral code and rules is tyranny IMHO.

St. Paw Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 sorry can't agree with that. PC is over -kill. most people know when to draw the line. PC is for those who can't. or won't. I agree STP. The reason we have PC is that people don't have CS. We need the nanny state and libs to tell them not to offend people. It is so easy to get people upset today. Who knew that it was wrong to kill whales, make fun of the greys, and except Jesus as your personal savior? It seems that people who want to protect themselves with guns( my laser gun doesn't count) and have respect for personal responsibility are the spawn of the devil? Thanks for pointing out that everybody that thinks differently from one another is not entitled to their opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again you seem to have the idea that I posted the video as an example of what I was condeming when I was actually posting it to support my arguement.
