I think that the republishing was unwise.
Point me to the substance in your argument, Seb. Your argument seems to me to be a repeated recitation of three basic premises in slightly different forms: "Free speech is good." "People who riot and burn buildings and kill people are bad." and "Appeasing terrorists is bad." You also mix in the occasional insult.
All of these are hard to argue with, but don't have much meat on the bone.
Since when did the practicality, and practical effect, of a course of action become not part of the "merits"?

P.S. You called me a coward. Coming from you, that really hurt. :liar:

This shiiite took you that long?
1. It (publishing and republishing) did have to be done, and that was implied (for the reasons - the importance of the issue - I previously noted). If you didn't get that, you're being willfully ignorant or you're challenged. Though your phrasing leaves something to be desired, I doubt the latter.
2. I'm not going to recharacterize my argument for you, or argue with your characterization of it. It says what it says in plain English. Its your job to refute it.
3. You've now exhibited exactly what I complained about. If we were at a party, I'd have already guzled my ssecond vodka and started for the bar.
Some shit is just simple. One of those things is the fact that we have to deal with Islam's "issues." If we run and hide, as you advocate, we just waste time and the problem gets bigger. Appeasement in the face of imminent conflict is just plain fucking illogical. I tip my hat to the Dutch. They took one on the chin, and we'll all be better for getting this "problem" out in the open and resolved.
By the way, I didn't just beat you like a fucking gong in this little squabble because I'm some master at this. The reason you sound absurd and have not a stitch of persuasive value behind the shit you've tried to turn into an argument is because your position is illogical. Slapping you purple on this issue is like shooting fish in a barrel.
And triust me, I know illogic and screwy arguments. When I tell you you're fucked and you should shut up, take the goddamned hint.
