And if you're a woman in college, you have a 1 in 4 chance of being sexually assaulted before you graduate. So we ought to stop any new fraternities or dorms from being built, right? Frat boys are damaging a whole lot more human beings than Muslim extremists!

Well.... I have to say that I was lurking that day, and noticed a difference. But I wouldn't have said anything even if I'd been posting. Not because of her as much of because of you. You have some variety in your presence here, and you're not someone a person calls out lightly, just because you seem to be trying something new.

Not to impune Wendy. The content of her posts didn't seem off, just her style. No caps, less paragraph breaks, slightly different wording. Stuff like that.

Yeah, there's that logic stuff again. I like it so much I'm going to try to use it!

I have a greater chance of dying in a car accident than I do of dying of AIDS. Hence, I need not be concerned about AIDS, and may forgeo condoms in favor of raw dogging dudes I meet in public bathrooms. And also, it is more likely that I'll be not robbed than robbed, so why lock my doors? I bet more folks who fail to lock their doors are not robbed than robbed, hence locking your door is dumb and fearful.

Am I getting close?

If all you're thinking about is yourself, then go ahead and leave your big screen TV out on your front porch, bone whoever you want with no protection, then drive your car into a tree. Have fun with that.

But if you actually care about the society you live in, then maybe you'll take responsible, and yes, logical, measures to stop the spread of disease, and you won't recklessly force the cost of your health care on everyone else.

And if you give a shit about the freedoms that make your country great, you won't let pointless paranoia turn you into a sniveling coward, eager to snatch basic rights away from American citizens who represent absolutely no danger to you.

Using a condom or wearing a seat belt doesn't damage anyone else's life. Racism and biased hate does.

Get it, or was that beyond your logicalabilities?

I think I'm just a-logical. I thought that using a condom would potentially affect someone else's life. For example, if I had AIDS and did not wear a condom while doing stuff with my privates, I could give someone else the AIDS, forever changing their life. Let me try again. I'm going to get really good at this. I'm going to wiki logic, thereby becoming an expert on making assertions and then coating them with a veneer of legitimacy by applying the meaningless words "logic" or "reason" to them.

Yeah, kinda what I meant by saying the wearing a condom doesn't hurt anyone, and going bareback is not good for society.

I eagerly await the results.

Wiki up some nice and twisted statistics as well, because logic is only as entertaining as the factoids it's built on.

Ok, I spent 30 seconds looking at "logic" on wiki, and am now an expert. This is my second attempt.

According to FBI statistics (and wikipedia), blacks are more likely to be involved in violent crimes than whites.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#cite_
note-24


Accordingly, whites commiting violent crime is not a legitimate issue. Discussing the subject of white violence evidences malice, racism and other types of evil intent.

Mince, this shit you're slinging is purest troll, and you know it, don't you?

This has been the right's b.s. argument for 10 years: if we don't accept the Draconian, warcrime-lite methods they propose, then we're "doing nothing." No one is saying that terrorists are not a threat, only that the sort of threat they pose does not require repeal of the Bill of Rights, forcing fringe artists into self-financed hiding and racially profiling anyone whose skin is darker than John Boehner.

You're putting out a lot of energy for no greater purpose than to score points against those of us foolish enough to think "logic" means anything. I don't know what it is about the "turbaned menace" that turns the Mincingbeast into a clodhoppingtroll, but there it is.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

i admire trolls immensely, and am flattered that you have accused me of being one.

I am currently engaged a quixotic crusade against logic, not muslims, although once logic is vanquished, faith will be the next to go.

Let us say that most religious terrorists are Muslim. I don't have these figures. It's a supposition for an argument.

One could then say that I am more likely to find a terrorist in a Mosque than in a Church. That's fine, as far as it goes.

However, like you pointed out, the chance of finding a terrorist at all is vanishingly small, much like the chance of getting hit by lightning in my living room. It's happened before, but it's bloody unlikely.


So because the probability of a Muslin terrorist killing you is remote, we should strip search little old ladies and pretend that they are just as likely to be terrorists. I understand there is almost no chance I personally will get killed by a terrorist, but I don't want to see little old ladies get blown up because you're to much of a pussy to accept the fact that stopping Muslim terrorists requires looking in the Muslim population not in an old ladies anus.



Why is this the only post here that makes any sense?.....And you cunts mock it.



I find it hard to believe that a cunt like you would agree with a cunt like you.



Go Fuck Yourself!
