nim·rod
ˈnimräd/
noun
noun: nimrod; plural noun: nimrods

1.
literary
a skillful hunter.


Even if we use the modern bastardized urban wasteland definition of a putz, a klutz, or a generally inept person...

ISIS are not nimrod's. They're inhuman scum who should be crushed like the fucking vermin they are.

These people are that as well as despicable scum.

Well, time for you to get in line for some harsh feedback from our fellow progressive who can't help but object to any assessment that pegs ISIS as a pack of subhuman vermin.

Nobody disputes what they are though some do see a high degree of similarity between ISIS' actions and the prescriptions for redress offered by some here.

Agreed. There is nothing decent these animals won't destroy.

If you read the article in The Atlantic (link was posted here somewhere, I still have my copy of the magazine) they expect to be crushed eventually and believe that Armageddon will result. Then according to their scenario Jesus will return to earth, and yet they massacre Christians - go figure. Time to leave off with the F-16s and bring out the B-2s, it will save lives in the long run.

Boreas 03-06-2015 09:08 AM

Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet, second only to Mohammed. They believe that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all revelations of the same truth and that the adherents of all three religions are "people of The Book". Unfortunately, they also believe that Islam, being more recent than the other two religions is the final and the perfect revelation of God and His will.

This has a lot to do with the Sunni's hatred of the Shi'a. Being a newer sect that departs from Sunni orthodoxy, Shi'ism is considered apostasy and blasphemy.

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love...
You make.


In other words...ya get what ya give.

Maybe when your house in infested with cockroaches, you should make them a cheeseburger.

So, the guiding principle of your life is a Beatles' lyric turned on its head. Deep, Ike. Very deep.

Metaphors are things chosen by the user, and you needs to choose them with care. The may say more about you than they do about reality. And they often work better on you than on anyone else....

I don't think it's turned on it's head at all. You deserve to get what you give.

Why TF would I care how you think anything looks on me?

Rajoo 03-06-2015 10:14 AM

I think we need a flame throwing smilie to dispense with the verbiage. :)

And on the topic of ISIS, they need to be eradicated but prefer that the Arab's do it funded by the Gulf countries led by Saudi's. We will sell them all the weapons they need and more of course.

Taking a lyric about the importance of love and turning it into an excuse for hate is turning it on its head.

You missed the point. It's not about how you look, it's about how you are. And feedback loops.

And i think you still care some. Otherwise you could just type all this stuff into Notepad. :)

Never happen. Not when close to 25% of Muslims worldwide support Jihad and Caliphate in one form or another.

What's notepad?

And why is it capitalized?
Is "feedback loops" supposed to mean something to me?

donquixote99 03-06-2015 11:49 AM

It's instinctive, I think, for us to care about how we are viewed by others. Of course, 'care about' is a pretty vague description for the wide variety of meanings we may find and reactions we can have.

Notepad is a handy little text editor. Come with Windows.

OK, I'll unpack the reference to feedback loops there. I see one's choice of metaphors as both a result of how one views something, and an elaboration that, once created, reinforces such view, rendering it all the more habitual.

These two things appeared on my facebook feed today. And I am in fact a liberal, just one violently opposed to Islam.

I would advise against watching the below. Iranian backed militias execute 11 year old child. Seriously, don't watch this. A child is murdered.

Honestly. The only thing we should give these people is death

donquixote99 03-06-2015 02:19 PM

Your hatred is their power.

A pathetic sort of power, actually, but it seems like a good idea to them.

The only people I hate that much are the Republicans.

They are the real enemies of America.

I can't get as worked up over people destroying stuff 6,000 miles away when there are people Hell bent on destroying this country right here at home.

As for you being a "liberal" matteos, so far you have made 5 posts on this forum and every one of them could have been made by a bagger, so as far as I am concerned, that Jury is still out.

One of your more spiteful posts and as stupid as anything ever said by the dumbest of 'Baggers. It's Louie Gohmert stupid, in fact.

I couldn't care less about what you think of me.

You obviously don't care that religious nutjobs murder children, behead Americans with blunt knives and sell women and children into sex slavery, commit rape, genocide etc etc.

I know what kind of liberal you are. A Chamberlain liberal. Turn your back on crimes against humanity just because it is not happening right next to you.

It is not hatred but cold, calculated strategy. I am not about to waste my emotions on some one or a group that are beyond human empathy.

TJ, so what if he is a "bagger" as long as he is able to state his viewpoints? I am not going to hate him for that. I see this as diversity of ideas.

People on either fringe are generally intolerant of those whose opinions do not match their own.

A true liberal (not in the American sense of the word). Is somebody who lets others think and feel whatever they want and live however they want as long as it does no harm to others.

In the USA liberal gets conflated with left wing. IMO "progressives" or the left is as intolerant as any teabagger out there. They just sling shit at each other and don't think past their own prejudices.

Ah, you're denying hatred. Tell me more of the cold calculated strategy. Exactly who will you kill, who won't you kill, and how do you figure to do it?

It's true, we're not on the same page a lot. Not even in the same book, pretty often....

But I agree with not getting too emotional about them.

How else do you want me to read it? My ("your) hatred is their power, so if I hate them this will be used as power against me (us)?

But at least you agree on one of my points. :)

Thank-you for making your idea of 'liberal' a bit more clear.

Even with the best intentions, one can still get tripped up by these abstract terms, that mean something different to each and every body....

You're welcome.

I get wrapped up in the British definition as that is my homeland. I carry some left and right wing opinions. I used to be a "progressive" But thankfully others opened up my eyes to see how wrong I was on many issues.
