I don't think most are defending what they said, but what confuses me is that most seem to be okay with it as long as you're not a cop (or any other tax funded position). I find it hard to believe that all the holier than thou commenters on here have never once judged a person physically, discussed something in…

So you’re okay with this behavior over beers when it’s not recorded (even though they didn’t realize they were recorded), yet take issue when it’s done “on the job”? Sounds like a whole lot of horse shit to me. But sure, women never break down men physically, to their face, in public, with their friends, on the job,…

This thread is just oozing hypocritical bullshit.

Your definitions of “colleagues” and “working along side each other” are so loosely defined it could basically apply to anybody in any situation.

You could make a list of plenty of things that serve little to no purpose in 2015 America, while contributing to more deaths than guns. Again, it’s a poor point which stops the discussion and leaves us at the current state.

We need to stop giving the NRA a platform to ruin the gun debate. The NRA shouldn’t be the voice of the gun control debate, nor should they be the representative for any conservative on the issue. I do believe that through expansive background checks, longer waiting periods, and limiting the venues at which we can…

I don’t think he was in anyway discrediting the alleged victim. I think it’s hard to imagine the horrifying experience and truly have knowledge on the subject unless you’re a victim yourself. I think any rational person would find it odd that anyone would pursue a civil case in lieu of a criminal case. Yes, I…

It was a poor comparison, but anything that draws attention to the “amateur” athletics discussion is fine by me.

Equally bored. This is somewhat of a subjective subject. I find the death penalty extreme, whether it’s a belief or act, and trying to distinguish which is more “extreme” is irrelevant in my mind. Also, commenting on the use of one of the more commonly used acronyms seemed to be an attempt at making me look inferior,…

Running out of ways to make yourself feel superior?

LOL not agreeing with your statements makes me obtuse. You must be a lot of fun to debate with. I’m sorry, I just fail to see a large difference in extremism between anything that is a reasonable free choice being punishable by death. Agree to disagree pal. Calm the fuck down

You literally just repeat the same statement, over and over and over, without elaborating on how they are different. Two extreme beliefs, both punishable by death. I fail to see how you distinguish one as being worse than the other if both result in death. As well, I fail to see any point in your statements. Muslim…

I said that punishing those acts by death is equally extreme.

I would say anything that prevents reasonable free choice and is punishable by death for not following is equally as extreme.

How is it different? You’re projecting your religious beliefs into the law of the land. You’re right it’s not the same thing, but it might as well be.

What are these “things”? I guess I don’t see much of a difference between banning abortion (or any other issue tied to religious beliefs) and making apostasy illegal. It seems to be bordering the same thing. To be clear, both are bad.

You despise false equivalencies, yet laid out a scenario where believing in death by one person’s beliefs is more extreme than the other.

Do you actually believe one of these death scenarios is MORE extreme than the other?

No, but one extremist did kill 85 children on an island in Norway. I suppose the sexism angle most Christian’s take is the lesser of the two evils.
