The worst thing about awval is as I try to scroll past his posts and replies - my eye thinks it sees suzzer99 and I have to stop to look.

Dammit thats .5 seconds of my life I'm never getting back. I already waste 4-6 hours/day on this stupid site. I have to be as efficient as I can.

Also, I could never be an MMA referee as I'd be stopping fights well before the crowd got their bloodlust satiated. Watching that clip is kinda disgusting actually. As soon as the guy gets slammed his arms go slack and he can't protect himself, so it's over. The ref doesn't even enter the frame until after the 3rd elbow.

I'll admit boxing refs jump the gun but it's always better safe than sorry:

Everyone should follow Si.m R.ah on FB imo (minus the periods - she shortened her name, I would assume out of fear of reprisal from extremists). She's the one I keep quoting in that FB rant she had a few years ago where she talked about the stuff you're probably not supposed to talk about outside the barbershop in the Muslim world. She just posted this:



And also recently posted this:

Saudi Arabia releases video on National TV teaching husbands how to beat their wives


And this: https://www.facebook.com/16695350039...2/?pnref=story

The crazy circular reasoning in that last one is scary. Total cult. Like you can't even get past step 1 of logical progression because Allah steps in and says nope - anything these guys want to do in my name must be right because I am all powerful and therefore wouldn't let them do it if it wasn't right. Chessmate libtards.

Maybe I'm just running bad but 98% of people who 'criticize Islam' just get basic things incorrect. That last clip is no exception with the poet-murder business.

It's obviously important to point out that radical dudes actually believe Mohammad was running out around killing poets, even if he wasn't, and feel they should do the same, or that Mohammad didn't want people to draw him and they should kill people that do, even though he didn't give a ****. But that's still separate from 'criticizing Islam' and it really seems at this point people are accidentally but totally on purpose fudging the specifics to justify some easy criticism.

What? What in your view was the reason that al-Ashraf was killed?

It's true that "because he wrote poems" is simplified to the point of obscurantism, but essentially it was murder of a political opponent. One of the core problems with Islam is the lack of distinction between the political and the religious. The killing of al-Ashraf is Exhibit A in that regard. From one of the accounts of the event in the Sahih Bukhari:

Quote:
"Narrated Jabir Abdullah: "Allah's messenger said "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His apostle?"
My question to you: what do you think Muhammad meant here by "hurt Allah"? What actions of al-Ashraf does he refer to?

There are many other instances of Muhammad having people killed for saying things he didn't like, although none as well-attested as the killing of al-Ashraf. If your point is that Muhammad probably would not have approved of the Charlie Hebdo killings, for instance, then I agree. But it seems very likely if not absolutely certain that he was quite willing to have people murdered purely because they opposed him politically.

Maybe you should just look at the avatars when you scroll like a normal person.
05-28-2017 , 08:18 AM
One thing I think blows aboit reddit is no avatars. How are you supposed to get to know people with nothing but text? It sucks.
05-28-2017 , 08:19 AM
Avatars are art imo.


05-28-2017 , 10:47 AM
That's ass backwards. Individual Islamist who teach people how to beat their wives should be addressed, not "Islam."

I can't see the avatar when the name is in a quote.

I thought you were quoting yourself. Mind blown.

it didn't KO the slammer, but you're probably thinking of rampage vs ricardo arona in pride



matt hughes also KO'd himself in a similar slam against carlos newton (which also KO'd newton), but hughes woke up within a few seconds before the ref could pull them apart and he was given the victory. he sits up and is like "i won? i won???" then runs across the cage in a celebration and there's audio of him telling his corner that he was out cold. lolmma

What the ****? This happens in the US? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/26/o...ype=collection

Quote:
When she was a scrawny 11-year-old, Sherry Johnson found out one day that she was about to be married to a 20-year-old member of her church who had raped her.

“It was forced on me,” she recalls. She had become pregnant, she says, and child welfare authorities were investigating — so her family and church officials decided the simplest way to avoid a messy criminal case was to organize a wedding.

“My mom asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said, ‘I don’t know, what is marriage, how do I act like a wife?’” Johnson remembers today, many years later. “She said, ‘Well, I guess you’re just going to get married.’”

So she was. A government clerk in Tampa, Fla., refused to marry an 11-year-old, even though this was legal in the state, so the wedding party went to nearby Pinellas County, where the clerk issued a marriage license. The license (which I’ve examined) lists her birth date, so officials were aware of her age.
Quote:
Johnson, the former 11-year-old unwitting bride who is now fighting for Florida to set a minimum marriage age (there is none now), says that her family attended a conservative Pentecostal church and that other girls of a similar age periodically also married. Often, she says, this was to hide rapes by church elders.

She says she was raped by both a minister and a parishioner and gave birth to a daughter when she was just 10 (the birth certificate confirms that). A judge approved the marriage to end the rape investigation, she says, telling her, “What we want is for you to get married.”
I'm speechless.

Guess we should clean up our own barbaric practices before moving onto Islam.

Good article about the welfare reforms that Maine has done and the problems it is causing.

These areas in the middle of nowhere with no jobs, I don't really know how you help these people, no industry is gonna move there. It's just drugs, dispair, poverty.

Well sure. Framing it this way means we're agreeing much more than disagreeing. Mohammad was killing propagandists and enemies of the state during wartime. Would some of it constitute what we'd now consider to be heinous warcrimes? Probably. But framing it as the former makes it seem like Mohammad was walking into a nightclub during a poetry slam and putting everybody down. It's comical nonsense that has gained a ton of traction in the Islamophobe derposphere.

Broadstroking it I'd say Mohammad And Co were on a Mission From God and al-Ashraf was compromising that mission. The big takeaway should be War Is Hell.

I mean, I didn't really get into Islam until the Charlie Hebdo tragedy. I'm a quasi 'new' atheist so I was inclined to believe whatever silliness I heard simply on the basis of LolReligion. Finding out there's nothing in the Quran or any major Hadith about drawing Mohammad, or in the first hundreds of years of Islam, made the history more fascinating and interesting. I should've suspected as much considering how modern Christians seem to ignore the way of Christ in favor of some Old Testament nonsense, but I had to learn the hard way. People are people and Muslims are no different. They'll cherry pick what they want and extrapolate to the point of absurdity to wage whatever vendetta they have.
