1. I say we make a trade. We trade Terry Jones for the idiots who killed those U.N. people. Put them all down.
  2. again, what exactly has terry jones done that you dont like?

    why are you so hung up on this idea that book burning is bad? are you aware that we have plenty of spare copies of the koran? would it be ok with you if the books he were burning turned out to be discarded tom clancy novels with false covers on the them that said "koran"? because the koran is sacred.

    oh yeah you said it is knowledge that is sacred.

    would it be ok with your if he printed two copies of the koran on his printer at home for every one he destroyed thereby increasing the copies of this knowledge that you think is so incredibly important?
  3. Because he is a religious zealot just like the idiots in afghanistan.
  4. So you hate the burning of books because Nazis did it, but you think the ideas of religious kooks should be oppressed? Clearly you have a dizzying intellect.
  5. what? the nuts in afganistan are killing people! he is expressing dislike for the koran, the book behind their killing. how is he like them at all?

    granted, he is religious, but so is almost every person here, except me and like 3 others.

    do you not see the difference between a symbolic act indicating opposition to radical murderous islam, and radical murderous islam?

    please, i am not trying to trick you, i just cant understand how your opinions are so stupid.
  6. That is not what I said. I said that those who purposefully agitate violent people share some responsibility for the consequences.
  7. I don't condone burning of any books and i never said I hate burning books because the nazi's did it. I just referenced the burning of books by nazis. I just don't think books should be burned, from Talking Points to Mein Kampf, to Huck Finn, to the Bible.

    And don't get all sanctimonious on me, you want to control a woman's uterus, look in the mirror before slinging mud.
  8. I could care less if you are trying to trick me, or if you think my opinion is stupid. I will sleep well tonight on my nice big pillow. What I see is a dude who knew full well that people were going to get killed when he did what he did, yet he decided to do it anyway. He is no better than the Afghanistan kooks.
  9. Then why don't you?

    (I figured I'd beat SabanFan to it... :D)
  10. What do you think would happen if someone burned a Mormon bible? Would Utah implode?
