If you want to leisurely pass time in a pleasant way perhaps you shouldn't post in a thread about mass murder?

Oh so are you refuting my thesis? What exactly is it that you think we do here?

Well, you convinced me - Muslims cannot assimilate or coexist with a liberal democracy, no matter how many years they live here.

John Wayne Gacy had 33 gay murder victims in one location, you know.  Not a Muslim.

Wow.  :lol:

What the fuck kind of lawyer are you, anyway?

The kind that cleans the toilets and picks up a little bit of the law lingo.

Tell him to flap his arms and fly.  It'll be easier.

Apparently, he was on the FBI list of known ISIS sympathisers.

So, to answer garbon's question about what we should do - making sure people like this are not able to walk freely in our societies would be a good start.

Quote from: garbon on June 12, 2016, 11:50:39 AMI think most of us come to this forum as a pleasant way of leisurely passing the time. There is nothing pleasing about your 'contributions'.

that's the paradox attitude of forum administration, though. a forum is where people gather online and talk. over time, characters develop. some are funny, some provoke, etc. marti contributes in his own unique way

I see nothing wrong in banning a poster who serves as nothing but a detriment to our forum. Apparently our mods feel the same if the amount of bans he's been given are any indication.

QuoteThe suspect's father has spoken out to the media, saying his son was anti-gay and he doesn't believe the attack was motivated by religion.

How many other mass shootings in gay clubs were perpetrated to date by homophobes? I mean, given the widespread access to guns in the US and homophobia among the racist, right wing rednecks and the like, there must be virtually dozens of cases.

Imprisonment for thought crime? You just become absurd now.

Incidentally, Seedee, I am seeing other media reports that he was on the FBI watch list since 2013 because of radical islam sympathies. This seems to belie what the father is saying.
