I'm guessing by the fact t3hbandit doesn't really understand what bigotry is that he lives five minutes from Liberty University.

Do you disagree with the characterization that a country that sentences someone to death for the imaginary crime of blasphemy is barbaric? If you do, how would you characterize it?

lolol yeah this is definitely the line of someone who's making GOOD ARGUMENTS with LOGIC and FACTS and not a total chicken**** who has no answers. Great work t3hbandit!

You don't seem to understand the difference between me not letting you speak in my living room and the government not letting someone speak anywhere in the whole country.

One of those is infringing on someone's right to free speech, you appear to think they both are.

The administration removed them. The students only exercised their free speech rights asking for their removal.

I think that the death penalty for anything is barbaric. I am not sure why we have to single out Pakistan, or why it has to be a country thing instead of an issue thing.

Maybe in the next hundred posts bandit will learn what “free speech” is but I won’t hold my breath

I hear someone with a PHYSICS DEGREE just took the first ever photo of a black hole.

#dip****sinscience

Whilst I agree with you it's all barbaric there's clearly a line between the death penalty for a convicted murderer and blasphemy.

He brought up Pakistan because it's one of the few places which will kill for it.

I never said Dawkins had the right to go on, I said that it was and continues to be a political problem for the left to go after people they disagree with in that way. Censorship isn't the way forward.

Do you think Dawkins is a bigot?

So this whole derail is you don't like people disagreeing with people who you agree with?

big. ****ing. deal.

The right has no problem silencing people they don't agree with, your President has made it a national catch phrase.

Lol bandit

Talking about Dawkins and 'I hate all religions equally'. It's like a time warp to 2004

Everybody does. Not sure why that's so surprising to you. We can read his words.

I see you've played Knifey Spoony before.

Current Affairs: "Someone can be brilliant when it comes to having knowledge of human evolution and being able to explain it to non-scientists and still be a moron in other areas."

Bandit: "WHAT!? YOU'RE SAYING SCIENTISTS ARE ALL IDIOTS!?"

You put it forth as an example of free speech being "compromised," and as an example of a top 50 or higher issue in the world today. Even here, you're calling it "censorship," as if Dawkins would not have the right to say things, instead of merely not being handed a prominent platform from which to say them. Dawkins not being on a radio program is not something that was taken away from him or anyone, nor is it censorship, unless ordinary people are also entitled to go on radio programs to talk. The only leg you might have to stand on is the one Shame Trolly mentioned, is if you are giving strategic advice to liberals, and you think it's better for liberal causes to let bigoted speakers speak from prominent platforms rather than to protest giving bigoted speakers prominent platforms. I think that's bull****, and if you were arguing it, it's plain you'd be bull****ting us. You obviously think Dawkins deserves the prominent platform because you agree with his bigoted statements on Islam, so we don't really want your strategic advice on how to further liberal causes, such as having a more tolerant society instead of one that bans Muslims from entering.

Similarly, Wookie: "there are plenty of dip****s in the sciences"
Bandit: "BLACK HOLE PHOTO, sorry, ergo Dawkins can't be a bigot"

Are there other countries that issue death sentences for blasphemy?

No they don't. And criticising ideas isn't bigotry.

He literally linked an article which said "Science is full of dip****s". He belongs on a climate change denial forum.

Vaccinnes save over 2 million lives each year.

dip****science

If you actually read the article, it didn't doubt Dawkins's credibility on actual science. The thesis was that one can be a brilliant scientist and still a dip**** when it comes to Islamophobia.

Everyone: There's *******s in the sciences, there's *******s in all walks of life.

Bandit: However, vaccinnes [sic] save over 2 million people.
You didn't think about that did ya?

The Pakistani government hasn't actually ever executed anyone for blasphemy.

Weird argument. Spending years in prison for blasphemy with the sword of Damocles hanging over one's head is also quite barbaric.

Lol bandit
