Non Footy Chat Thread II

[I'm a loser baby...]

So he didn't get any money from them?

See this is where I think that whole Izzy thing has been twisted. He is entitled to say whatever he likes in private or as a citizen on social media. However his employer, who pays him handsomely, requested that he refrain from making such public divisive statements as it damaged their brand and the brand of their sponsors. They were apparently wrong is seeking that.

So as it stands your employee can chant from the rooftops anything they like and you have to cop it ?

Meanwhile, church schools want the right to terminate anyone who are not in line with their teachings ?

Am I missing something here ?

Nope. I reckon you have nailed it you disgracefully filthy leftard.

 

[Gary Gutful]

@Gary Gutful is definitely a semen

Only the highest quality organic semen.

Not sure about that. You don't think that people can be inspired to do evil things based on encouragement from others?

I'm not against free speech btw, but it's been proven on countless occasions that there are enough idiots in the world that can be easily swayed.

By that logic any violence against Christians or Muslims is the fault of the merkins who call them bigots. It's a dumb, self-serving argument designed to shut down speech we don't like.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Absolutely

If no one was swayed by fundamentalist talk, all the fundamentalists would be dead

And where did the first fundamentalist come from? People choose the ideas that appeal to them. If they're inclined to black and white thinking they'll find something that satisfies that urge. If they're inclined to violence they'll find a justification.

Religions have stood the test of time. Just because wealthy people like yourself have no need for it doesn't mean it's not still the opiate of the masses. It's either that or opium.

Yeah I don’t hate Folau. I don’t even dislike him. I have compassion for flawed individuals.

I'd love to meet an unflawed individual. Maybe I didn't go to the right school.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Reminds me of John Cleese character in Life of Brian

He is the messiah, I should know, I've followed a few

Some shallow minded people just want something to believe in or follow, without question, so they chose this mythical book of stories to be their rules of life. When Izzy is interviewed about this subject he just quotes the story book, like he's never had an original thought of his own.

Wow. And others criticise him for picking and choosing which of the Bible he cares about.

I wonder which criticism is correct.

I have compassion for you.

Well. I give you

There are no facts, only interpretations

 

[hindy111]

Nope. I reckon you have nailed it you disgracefully filthy leftard.

Am I the only one who finds the word filthy erotic and a turn on?

 

[hindy111]

Only the highest quality organic semen.

Ok. When do you need it? Can it be in the morning. I'd like to watch the mid day movie.

I suggest that some people might be influenced by the words of others and you translate that into "By that logic any violence....". How did you arrive at that conclusion? I never said that it wasn't possible for someone to form fundamentalist views of their own accord.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

There are no facts, only interpretations

There are obviously plenty of facts, but you're correct that in many cases our understanding of them is inseparable from interpretation, whether our own or somebody else's.

I went to a special school where we were all inflawed.

Well your comment was in response to my assertion that the words of a fundamentalist aren't dangerous. If dangerous people are looking for justification it's wrong to blame the one doing the justifying.
