Subject: The question is, would Jesus think the contestants are finger licking good, and why would a newspaper say so? Author: Sister Bunny [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:54:39 11/23/02 Sat In reply to: The Moral Majority 's message, "Topic for this week: The Miss World Pagaent, Nigeria. Is it less moral for these whore seductresses to parade around in bikinis, or to kill 100 of your fellow villagers and burn down the neighborhood, screaming "God is great" and "Down with Beauty"? This is a tough one." on 21:28:17 11/22/02 Fri ...Or, is it right for newspapers to foment religious hatred by making snide comments about prophets, instead of just reporting the news?

Subject Author Date Snide comments by newspapers are definitely grounds for the massacre and torching of entire villages, quite right. The Moral Majority 03:44:27 11/23/02 Sat I'm glad you agree with me. -- Sister Bunny, 04:27:46 11/23/02 Sat So if I read an editorial that I felt insulted my belief system in the New York Times, would I be justified in burning down Manhattan? (NT) -- Prospective Bunnyite, 10:01:43 11/23/02 Sat All Superhero reporters in Manhattan, please say after me, "I must use my powers for good, instead of evil." -- Sister Bunny, 12:34:38 11/23/02 Sat All the reporter said was that Muhammad would have approved of the pageant, and perhaps would've married a contestant. That's hardly a warcry. Doesn't that person have a right to express an editorial opinion just as much as others have a right to *peacefully* disagree? -- Don't express an opinion cuz you might piss off a Moslem extremist, 20:07:06 11/23/02 Sat It's mighty white of you to tell us what's offensive to a muslim in Nigeria. -- Sister Bunny, 15:10:00 11/24/02 Sun In my country, such an insult by a daffy rabbit woman is grounds for war! I will now massacre my village! And because of your insensitive, incendiary words, Rabbit Woman, you share the blame!! (NT) -- Entitled Extremist, 18:22:36 11/24/02 Sun By George, I think he's got it! -- I can't believe it's not butter!, 19:44:33 11/24/02 Sun America says Bush is an idiot, too. What's your point? (NT) -- Parkay, 19:59:49 11/24/02 Sun If yer such a wise Canadian, wouldn't ya know that Canada is IN America? (NT) -- Hmmm, 20:01:38 11/24/02 Sun Thank you for clarifying that, Christopher Columbus. (NT) -- Native American, 18:19:03 11/27/02 Wed Are you saying we're not natives of the place where we're born because our ancestors came from somewhere else? -- I smell a Rabbit, 05:49:25 11/28/02 Thu I'm tired of always getting the blame! (NT) -- The Devil, 03:21:34 11/24/02 Sun Miss Bunny, I would heartily recommend that you rethink your perspective! With your present viewpoint, anyone could rationalize the most savage of deeds simply by pinning the blame for his/her actions on a third party! -- Mr. Moose, 02:41:34 11/24/02 Sun Also, you can start slipping down the slope of "hate speech = crime." If we censor words or ideas because they may lead to violence, we begin to impose subjective moral values on free speech--which rarely if ever actually prevents crime. (NT) -- Mr. Green Jeans, 00:51:31 11/26/02 Tue Amen! Silence is a bitch. (NT) -- Dancing Bear, 06:02:30 11/26/02 Tue And then, Mister Moose, Mister Green Jeans, and the Dancing Bear after a deep discussion with themselves, all thought they could say anything they wanted, because it was free speech. -- Sad Mr. Kangaroo, 16:15:55 11/27/02 Wed We don't contend that there should be free speech without reservations! But the fact that there should be limits does not preclude humanity from the right to express an opinion! Who will be the gatekeeper of what constitutes valid criticism? -- Mr. Moose and Company, 17:03:41 11/27/02 Wed Interestingly enough, in recent years the left is often been more guilty of curtailing free speech than the right, especially in academic settings. Both a city council member and a teacher have been suspended for the correct use of the word "niggardly." -- The Town Clown, 18:05:00 11/27/02 Wed Chadi, get this clown off the board! He's using profanity! -- PC, 01:55:14 11/28/02 Thu Anthrax -- Verbal Anthrax, 01:55:24 11/28/02 Thu There's a mountain of difference between a deliberate misstatement of facts and the expression of an unpopular opinion! -- Mr. Rogers, 17:25:42 11/27/02 Wed Controlling freedom of expression helps America! -- Dubya, 17:35:16 11/27/02 Wed Frankly, I would not own a Ford. -- Bill, 02:57:55 11/28/02 Thu
