You're afraid of thinking. Much better to just keep congratulating yourself on holding all the right opinions.
I would need a cogent argument to refute in the first place.
Yours is just completely nonsensical.

Make a better argument.
logic is not your strong point, is it?
Samantha Bee on Orlando - Again? Again.
It follows exactly. We are accountable for the things we do and for the things we would do if circumstance allowed.
Were I to tell you I was, say, pro-choice, you would be in a strong position to guess at my attitude toward a particular ethical question. If you then learned that I'd had no abortions personally, would you therefore label me a pro-lifer in spite of my stated position?
Well then, what if I tell you about an infamous tyrant of my acquaintance, a monster who committed every crime against humanity he had the means to commit, and whom I believe to be the very best person who ever lived. I tell you I intend to follow the shining example of this nightmare, shall we say religiously, for the rest of my life. Do you really presume to claim that no negative inference can be drawn about my character whatsoever? What guess would you make about my propensity for insane, vicious murder?
I have yet to have an abortion, it might be said largely in consequence of my lacking certain procedural necessities. Yet I remain pro-choice. The majority of muslims in civilised countries, the minority in muslim countries, have committed no great atrocities. Yet they remain muslim.
Yeah, no, it does not follow. What people say they are, or even what say they believe, is not necessarily how they act.
Humans murder. I am a human. Ergo I am a murderer.
Dunno. seems pretty fallacious.
Samantha Bee on Orlando - Again? Again.
If the second part is true the first part is true.
Islam is a cult of totalitarian evil. Its founder was a warlord, a mass murderer, a slaver and a rapist, around the emulation of whom the entire operation is sustained.
Muslims who don't murder are exactly as guilty as muslims who do. Decent, peaceful people don't join nazi cults.
The Kool Aid I'm drinking, @iaui, is education and objective thought.
Yeah, the first part is demonstrably false.
Don't get me wrong, I dislike this tendency to revoke terrorist's Muslim cards post-atrocity because a "true" Muslim would never do such a thing, but it kinda goes both way, dunnit? Either you are making some sizable edits to the definition of "peaceful" or you're suggesting that Muslims who don't murder aren't really Muslims. Could it be that "Muslim" isn't as powerful a descriptor as either you or "Muslims" might want it to be?
Samantha Bee on Orlando - Again? Again.
There's no such thing as a peaceful muslim. You're talking about followers of an ideology explicitly founded on a policy of tyranny and murder.
I live in a country with ~1m or 3.2% of the population is Muslim. They are the second largest religion in our nation. They are perfectly peaceful. You live in a country where ~3m Muslims live, comprising 1% of your country's population.
How many of those people were involved in this act yesterday? What percentage?
Samantha Bee on Orlando - Again? Again.
Look at everyone tying themselves in knots trying to avoid blaming muslims for typical muslim behaviour.

CGP Grey - You Are Two (Brains)
Only half a turd, but unfortunately it seems to be the half that controls the things I say and do.
More likely it's because you're a giant turd and you're well aware of it

This must be why I hate myself.

I don't understand what happened here. I feel like the media response to this obvious, obvious fake must have been the mirage.

'TORN APART AND DEVOURED BY LIONS' was my favourite, I think, from the book, but 'STARVATION' was a vicious little bastard and I respect that.

Goat Simulator: Waste of Space
I know someone who was truly infuriated that Goat Simulator was a success. For them, people choosing to play a deliberately badly made game was the final sign of imminent societal collapse.
I'm going to send them a little email.

Yeah, Katv.
She has a name, ya know?
