Kid's Purim Costume : The Burning Twin Towers [W:44]

Wow, it only took 5 posts for the race card to get pulled in this thread. The costumes suck. I don't care what race/religion/nationality they are.

No offense, but living under the nazis for 4 years and watching your neighbors hauled away to extermination camps may slightly affect your viewpoint on free speech, especially when you've witnessed first hand what the consequences can be of that speech.

Come on... Consequences of that speech?

Hyperbole.

Free speech isn't what gave the Nazis power... It was the lack of free speech that led to this maniac controlling a country.

If someone's speech is muted, in any instance, there is no free speech. Its all or nothing.

You must let the demons be free to tell the truth... Only then, is it the beginning of the end for them. Truth is the sunlight that destroys the darkness.
 
With all due respect, you don't know what in the hell you are talking about. Truth was not 'the sunlight' that destroyed the Nazis. The Red Army, with assists from the U.S. and the Brits, destroyed the Nazis.

As has been pointed out many times in this thread, you need to familiarize yourself with the posting history of this antisemitic poster in order to understand the replies.

Why is religion even being discussed? Some douches dressed their kids up in an abhorrent costume. Who gives a crap about what their religion is.

Aren't we discussing a religious holiday?

Is this thread about 24107 or Purim costumes?

It is about being smart enough to realize how people are trying to influence perceptions, which is the real art of politics after all, isn't it?


Not all do have the intelligence necessary to consider the source by the looks of it, but some do.

Well, I probably grew up in a different time than you.


Back in the 60s, we fought against such bigotry by shining the light of day on it rather than aiding the bigotry by attacking those who point it out.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

It's a douchebag thing to do regardless of the religion of the people doing it. I didn't even know that there was a Jewish version of Halloween and, frankly, I don't care. The parents of these kids are doucehbags. They are not Jewish douchebags, they are just douchebags. The religion and ethnicity of douchebags has no bearing on them being douchebags in any way.

As someone else pointed out, you didn't combat the views of the OP, but just made the issue about Jewishness. Which just caters to his agenda

I see connections and patterns rather than an isolated post. It is treating each post as if they were unrelated that truly plays into his agenda, not exposing the pattern.

And in all of your wisdom you did exactly the OP wanted you to do: make this about jewishness

I wish I was as smart as you are. I actually feel really stupid for not putting two and two together. The OP manipulated those parents into dressing their kids up like a terrorist attack so he he undermine the entire Israeli Government and Jewish faith.

I get what you are saying about the OP, but it makes you look a little paranoid. I don't see how this thread was an attack on God's Chosen People as a whole. Maybe you want to see that more than other people do. :shrug:

Don't even try, this is all that happens in any thread where Israel is mentioned, even in passing as it was in the OP. OMG...you hate the jews!!!!! You have to consider the posting history!!!! In many threads not about Israel proper or Judaism, there are a group of people who will always make it about just that.

Depends actually. If they are Jewish, then the are Jewish douchebags. It's just that they're not douchebags because they're Jewish but rather Jewish and douchebags.

They are douchebags who happen to be Jewish. The Jewishness is irrelevant to the douchebaggery.

Yes, that would be my point. They'd still be Jewish douchebags by property of being both Jewish and douchebags simultaneously. But being Jewish doesn't make one a douchebag.

But I'm technically correct here, and that's the best kind of correct.

But I'm metaphorically correct, which is the intelligent way of being correct :2razz:

Sorry dude, I'm not that interested in it. As I saw it, the guy said nothing against Jewish people anywhere. Just called it how I saw it.

If someone (the parents I imagine) felt that the recent US intervention in the mideast (ie removing Saddam) was of great benefit to Israel and caused by the Twin Towers, then I can see where they might think it was a suitable Purim costume from the description above... an "act of God" that ultimately resulted in something that helped preserve them from their enemies.

Maybe they're Netanyahu supporters. He said essentially the same - see my sig.
