what a ridiculous statement.
You have been gone a very long time. I don't know if you read the story that came with this. The Father is guilty - there is no doubt.This is a very sad story. I hope the father didn't do it but what chance is there he could get a fair trial in the USA - not much I'm afraid. It was probably a bungled burglary or some pervert.
Heard that on the radio. I hate news like this. SOB should have his balls slashed off.
The news is very sad indeed. But then I got to thinking. Suppose this had been a Muslim family. Would the reaction have been so muted in the forum here? The forum would have gone viral. It probably would have been much harsher, much more virulent and would not be directed just against the father, but would probably be directed against all Muslims, against Muslim culture in general.
And that indeed is what happens when we hear news of honor killing in North America. All Muslims are condemned with the same broad brush. I am not trying to justify honor killings, nor am I saying that the reaction in this case was improper. It is just that next time we hear the news of honour killing (and there will be a next time), I would hope for the same measured reaction, rather than condemning all Muslims and Islam.
Bad, horrible things happen in every society, in every culture. It is important to blame the perpetrator (or perhaps even a particular extremist interpretation of the philosophy, like Wahabism), rather than the whole philosophy or religion.
Agreed.

I think it was pretty obvious that Scott Free didn't read the story.unless the religion or culture attempts to excuse the action. That's the big diff... no one is making excuses for this guy (except Scott apparently).

You still here, Scott Free? Welcome back, you have a fond place in my heart. You may not remember it, but the day after I joined the forum, I got into heated argument with you about whether Jesus was a real person. With you and with Vanni Fucci (we haven’t heard from him in a long time).
Anyway, welcome back.

Or is unable to see reality due to being against anything "establishment". Some people make the mistake of believing ABSOLUTELY nothing in the news, instead of realistically believing 5-10%. :iconbiggrin::iconbiggrin::iconbiggrin::iconbiggrin::iconbiggrin:
what a ridiculous statement.
:roll: Scott, you think the kid did it herself?

Hello to you too Scott.And is it really so wrong to hope the father didn't do it? If so why?
Hi karrie :lol:
It's nice to see you again too
lmao Sorry, Bub, but you are the one that said you hope he didn't do it in spite of the fact that he did.How can someone be on a forum and have such poor reading comprehension?
The only hop applicable here is the perp hoping to avoid the death penalty. He likely will. But you keep hoping he didn't do it all you like. lmaoIt's still a sad story but since he reportedly admitted it there seems little room for hope.
Thank you. It was good for a laugh.Still, I'm glad you were able to get your jollies off.
I felt fine before. I feel fine now.Feel better?
It's been several hours since I read the story but it seems the parents were having a disagreement over the children. The man told his wife that he would fix everything and in moments she heard screaming and ran down to see her child with her neck slit and bleeding profusely. She was the guy's step-daughter. Looks like he didn't take his meds for the day.
Hello to you too Scott.
Is it wrong to hope that the father didn't do it? no. Is it wrong to assume he didn't just because you'd like the world better that way? yes. (edited to add- if you're wondering why I'm saying assume, your statement of what it 'probably was', is what took it beyond what you 'hoped')
lmao Sorry, Bub, but you are the one that said you hope he didn't do it in spite of the fact that he did.
It was probably a bungled burglary or some pervert.
I didn't assume anything...
I completely agree that he probably did the deed...
lol... okay.
Yeah, and I supplied a brand new news article on it just in case anyone missed the first one.:tard:I said I missed the news post because of the forums new format.
yeah... you got me.... :roll::roll::roll:
My one statement was before I read the article and the other was after. Nice revision.
I would add too that the words assumption and probably are not synonyms.
I made the comment "maybe she was an inconvenience" in regards to the "apparent" cavaleir attitude some posters have towards the use of abortion to rid someone of an "inconvenience". Basically, for those that support abortion, why the outrage over this? Just another child being killed, right?
