quantumushroomsays...According to leftist doctrine, we are never to judge other cultures by the standards of our own, as all cultural values are equal. The witch doctor and the neurosurgeon are on the same level. Christians proselytize, muslims rape children. Values-wise, there is no difference.
Gallowflaksays.... . . . .

Liberalism != moral relativism. You've either not been paying attention or you're a fucking moron. Either way, it's good to know that not even this sort of barbarity can shock you into holding off on your repetetive, clueless, tasteless diatribes.

Yea, sometimes you should shut the heck up with that political stuff.

it is correct that you should not judge other cultures by the standards of your own , but I don't know anyone that makes the argument that all cultural values are equal that's nether a left or right , conservative or liberal mind set.
of the libral and "left" people I know they would use science to inform there position and stance as to weather a cultural practise was a good or bad one , and historically its more liberal and left groups that have taken action to stop circumcision and the spred of HIV in Africa and pore countries though promotion of safe sex and fee contraceptives.
In the case of assaulting a minor without there consent I think its pretty well established that this is not a "good" thing whatever political back ground sum-one adopts.

I see what you did there. If we disagree with your statement we are automatically "left" and therefore there is room for us to move to the centre. I call poppycock on that, in fact the whole argument of left vs. right is utter nonsense in my opinion, what matters much more is rational thought, a solid moral foundation, and the truth.
quantumushroomsays...Liberalism = moral relativism. You better fucking believe it, jimmy. It's the same argument used by the left every time, for every crime, that because everyone and everything is equal, it's not wrong to take something from one at gunpoint and give it to another. Aren't the witch doctor and neurosurgeon both human beings? Don't they both want to help people get better? Then what's the difference between them?
As for the video, I expect barbarism from barbarians, just as I expect leftists to yawn at crimes of this magnitude, just like they ignore all the other failures their good intentions breed, especially when there's a cross at Ground Zero to protest.

If you believe that "you should not judge other cultures by the standards of your own" then you have no moral authority to judge the muslims. The irony is, while the Bible states "Judge not lest ye be judged" it doesn't mean anarchy for all, nor does it mean keep silent in the face of evil.
I don't know what planet y'all are from that you're suddenly offended by linking modern liberalism with moral relativism, but from what I see, it's the left that's constantly assaulting all of the moral and religious institutions. Not questioning, ASSAULTING, and making end runs around honest debate.

Funny you mention "science", because the scientific proof is that circumcision REDUCES the transmission of HIV drastically. Science alone has no moral component.
In the case of assaulting a minor without there consent I think its pretty well established that this is not a "good" thing whatever political back ground sum-one adopts.
'Child-rape is not a 'good' thing.'
If that's the best denouncement of child-rape, I suggest better PR.

Gallowflaksays...Yeah, fuck it. You're too far gone.
Or you're a really good troll. But you put too much effort into it for that to be a realistic possibility.

I would hope that everyone disagrees with the original, satirical statement, but the horror is, there are people who actually speak and think that way, and the majority of them are on the left. Political correctness came from the left side of the aisle. It is the left that has never taken the threat of communism seriously, even though 100 million people have been murdered by communist regimes the world over.
I call poppycock on that, in fact the whole argument of left vs. right is utter nonsense in my opinion, what matters much more is rational thought, a solid moral foundation, and the truth.
From a certain point of view, left versus right seems arbitrary and bizarrely divided. For example, if the left values "equality" then they would demand women and especially the elderly become handgun experts so as not to be victims of larger or multiple attackers. Conversely, if the American Right championed individual rights as much as it claims, hooking and drugs would already be legal for adults.
Rational thought, a solid moral foundation, and the truth? I'm a big fan of all three. Rational thought is too rare to be made national policy and while it's possible for atheists to be moral, a solid moral foundation is still owned by religion. The third, "truth" has very few friends, because it doesn't care who is offended by it.
Regarding this sift, since few will take a stand, I will: islam is not worth saving. It was founded by a gigolo/pedophile warlord, then layered with still-more bizarre interpretations after his demise. islam is "supercessionary", meaning its laws and doctrines "override" Christianity and Judaism. islam offers 3 choices for followers when they meet infidels: kill, convert, enslave. Any muslim who does not do one of these three is also considered an infidel to be killed.

No nation that wishes to survive should allow more than a handful of muslims to immigrate; they are ill-suited for life in First World Western nations in the 21st century, or the 19th century for that matter. No sane woman should want to see muslims take over, either.

Yogisays...Fucking BAN HIM! WHY IN THE FUCK DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE ANY LONGER!??!
Jinxsays...I'm a lefty and I hate Islam as much as any other religion. Probably more. Still, I'm pretty sure 99% or more of Muslims will see these acts as totally immoral, so I don't really see how relativism comes into this at all.
Oh right, its that guy with such a distorted world view that I have mostly given up reading his comments, even if just sometimes they do contain a nugget of truth. NOT TODAY THO!

what I was saying is that BY DEFAULT you cannot make a claim that one arbitrary cultural accepted thing is better than another arbatrerry cultural thing.
"Funny you mention "science", because the scientific proof is that circumcision REDUCES the transmission of HIV drastically. Science alone has no moral component. "
You are right male circumcision does have a small affect in reducing transimtion of HIV ( its not drastic and the studies done are not conclusive) eather way contraception and education has a grater effect at reducing hiv and it is by using the scientific method we know this , also I was actually talking about female circumcision as much as male , The actual piont i was making still stands , historicaly it has been people that are more liberal/"left" that have promoted contraception , and it has been concervitievs that have been anti contraception and ignored scientific evidence and continued to use religion and dogma guide there thinking.
Finally its very hard for me to understand what points you are actually making or what you are actually getting at I cannot tell what position you have on things the way you write is all over the place for me ( i'm not saying how you write is inherently wrong just for me I struggle to understand what you are actually getting at due to the way you right).
I also think the use of left and right termanoligy confuses the issue, in america your left and right is different to englands and even within america it seems people have different understandings of what is exactly a left or right mentality. It would probably be easer if defined a mentality or thinking in a more precise way or made an argument with you saying , "if people x with x mentality think this then they are wrong to think x " that way it would be easy to agree or disagree with the statement.
criticalthudsays...don't ban him.
Quantum Mushroom is a necessary voice in the evolution of the consciousness, in which the rational supersedes the irrational.
It is only upon awareness of the irrational will this happen.
In that way, QM drives others to think more rationally than he. He is a necessity.
gwiz665says...Well, that 2 year old shouldn't have dressed so provocatively. Dem diapers...
bareboards2says...I'm wondering if this isn't a case of misapplied cause and effect.
Was the rape of the daughter really related to converting to Islam?
Or was the Son of the Boss just one sick pervert who was protected under a class system where farm workers/lower class citizens treated as less than human?
Oh, and it is really easy to deal with quantumushroom. Just put him on ignore and never, ever read him. It makes life so much more pleasant on the Sift. He is only torture if you allow him to torture you.
Ignore. It's a great little feature!
