Anthony Jackson2 said:honestly, I think it’s high time we burned Jesus at Mardi Gras—just to stir the pot a little bit 🤷

Does that thought actually get you going?

It’s pretty obvious that Frfljić was the blueprint for those guys from the small towns. Now we've got this "progressive art" nonsense invading the rural heartland. Typical. 👍

man, this little girl definitely didn't have a choice in the matter...

Now that’s what I call progress. What kind of absolute moron are you even being right now? 😠

Look, my take—as someone who actually supports same-sex couples adopting kids—is that you can't just play fast and loose with your principles. You can't claim to be all for certain things and then suddenly draw a line in the sand when it gets to x1 and act like "that's enough." I hate to say it, but that’s just not how logic works.

Sandra Johnson58 said:And honestly, Vecchio hit the nail on the head in that post—it’s like, what's happening right here in our own backyard shouldn't be used as the yardstick for the entire continent, you know?

What SR is talking about is a situation specific to Germany—it doesn't apply anywhere else.

Yeah—kind of like an eight-year-old with blue hair meeting a priest.

Sandra Johnson58 said:What a joke, honestly. They're just lighting whatever they feel like. I mean, they were already doing this back in 2016 over in some random part of the Midwest or something involving KBKK.

Let them burn it all. You aren't wrong.
They were burning books across Germany in 1936, and what happened? Nothing. The German government didn't go around locking everyone up for it.

It’s the same story in other places too, especially over in England and Sweden, where if you even try to offer some constructive criticism, certain groups just lose their minds and start crying about racism or xenophobia. It's honestly ridiculous. I mean, there’s actually a woman sitting in the UK Parliament whose takes on victims of gang rapes aren't exactly great, either. Seriously.

🤣
That’s a pretty funny thought, I guess, but it feels like a bit of a stretch to say that applies to everyone.

Man, you absolutely crushed them with that logic. Seriously, just join a local debate club or something, I bet you'd be a world champ in no time.

I know.

Exactly. Just look at what’s happened in London and how much the crime rate has spiked over the last few years. And the Mayor? He basically tells people they just need to get used to terrorism. They'd rather tell citizens to adapt than admit there’s a massive problem that needs solving. Robberies, assaults, rapes... everything is up. But heaven forbid anyone speaks up about it. I honestly don't understand how anyone can defend such twisted politics when it’s clearly costing lives.

wiredfalcon2 said:Please. Kids have seen everything already—probably more than they should, like seeing a priest's junk. You can't shield them from every little thing. I'm with you on this one.

Maybe you didn't get a look at those priest's bits when you were little, but clearly someone else did (your dad's, the neighbor's, or maybe just the dog's?). You definitely have some kind of psychological issue fueled by an insane amount of pure hatred.

Kids watching movies like 300 or shows like South Park and Family Guy on TV today, and somehow *that's* where the problem lies instead of people burning effigies... 🤣

Anthony Jackson2 said:Nah—you're just born a Christian. 🤦

Man, who cares if you're born into it? It's whatever.🤣

Exactly. 👍

If people really want to play that game and act like they own the moral high ground, then fine, let them go ahead. But honestly, if you’re going to lean into that lifestyle, shouldn't you be prepared to deal with the fallout? You can't expect to act like a saint while simultaneously being a total jerk. It's the same story regardless of which political side you're on.

Personally, I find all those low-brow, amateurish attempts at satire—everything from the antics of guys like Frfljić to examples like this—to be incredibly tiresome. To me, they just reveal one-dimensional personalities who aren't actually interested in understanding the opposing viewpoint, but are instead solely focused on mocking it.

wiredrider9 said:Man, who cares if you're born into it? It's whatever.🤣

Well, I definitely didn't see that coming. 🤦

I can wrap my head around just about anything, but believing people are actually born religious is a level of stupidity even I can't quite grasp.

I mean, how else are you supposed to spice up a romance between two guys if not with a little bit of burning passion? You really have to dig deeper and figure out what the author was actually trying to say here.
It’s called artistic freedom, for crying out loud. Why are all these people suddenly acting so high and mighty about it?

From what I’ve gathered talking to most of the older generation, there’s this incredibly aggressive narrative regarding homosexuality—at least among everyone I’ve encountered. They view it as some kind of contagion. But once they start drawing those disgusting parallels to pedophilia... Look, if they claim they don't mind people doing whatever they want as long as it doesn't involve us, that's one thing. But the second you mention children, all those underlying prejudices come flooding out. It honestly makes you stop and wonder where the hell we are and how this kind of rhetoric is even possible in the 21st century.

Honestly, most men have this deep-seated biological aversion to gay guys, which makes them incredibly easy to manipulate. I mean, who else could you blame for your own frustrations more than a group of people you find inherently repellant?

Lesbians are a completely different story; at least behind closed doors on Pornhub, it’s a whole different vibe.☕

Unfortunately, I don't think this is just someone trolling, right?

Let's not get bogged down in pointless debates about what constitutes a sickness versus what doesn't...

I was specifically pointing out that setting two men and a child on fire is a fascist crime.
But if you set Bill Clinton on fire while he’s kissing and holding Peter like a child, suddenly it’s just "performance art."

If you burn a star-shaped fascist effigy, people call it hate speech, but if you burn an emblem of the Roman Legion or some other extremist militia, it’s just a performance...

At the end of the day, fascism is whatever the crowd decides is acceptable. I’m not a fan of how Fry labels everything as a "performance," but if his audience loves it, why should I stop them? As long as they don't try to stop my performances, too.

Honestly, who cares if they're burning a few gays, Bill Clinton, or even Batman and Superman as some kind of fascist tradition? What does any of that have to do with who got to choose what happened? The locals there thought it was fun and inspiring for their fascist display, so let them enjoy themselves. It's just like how the people in Miami found it inspiring to showcase their city as the center of the Communist Party back in 2020. To each their own.

Do you actually live in the US? From what I can see, we're veering off-topic by speculating about where people get their information, what their political leanings are, where they reside, or what they need to know to grasp a situation. I'm asking you nicely: explain exactly what I wrote wrong instead of circling around the question of why I'm supposedly in the wrong.

Look, I don't live in the States, but neither do you. You’re just out here spouting nonsense under the guise of "Do you even know what's happening in the USA?" as if the whole country is just some tiny neighborhood in Cleveland rather than a massive federation of 50 distinct states and over 300 million people who don't all think or act the same. It's not like growing up in a place where half the population is Hispanic, or out in the sticks with the Amish, or in NYC or LA where you can walk down the street without getting harassed every two seconds. To lump all that together into one big "what's happening in the USA" category is a joke. If you actually knew anything, you'd realize how much things vary from state to state—both in terms of lifestyle and local laws. Like, surely even you realize that marijuana is totally fine in some states but strictly illegal in others. Or that abortion access is wide open in some places and practically impossible in others. It's not all one thing. Get it together.

Look, by generalizing "what's happening in the USA," you’re basically proving you don't have the slightest clue what's actually going on in this country. You clearly don't get how people live in different states, what the local vibes are, or even the specific issues hitting certain areas. It’s like trying to claim real estate is unaffordable just because you looked at prices in Miami, when you could head out to a small town in the Midwest and pick up a whole house for the price of a single balcony in Miami. Get it now?

What you’re peddling right here is just that classic Bretton Woods "alt-right" logic—that whole "they're silencing us" routine. It’s pure "catch the thief" nonsense. I mean, look around. We're living in a country where conservatives are running the show, holding both the White House and the Senate. We're in a place where, in half the states out there, even basic gay partnerships aren't legally recognized yet. And for God's sake, we have Trump in office. So don't come at me with this tired crap about how "you can't say anything anymore" because some "progressive minority" is supposedly running everything. Give me a break.

Look, I’m telling you right now, you’re just spewing baseless nonsense straight out of some alt-right fever dream. It's nothing more than bottom-tier internet trolling at this point. Seriously, go try applying for a US visa and see exactly how many background checks and hoops you have to jump through first. Then maybe you can come back and lecture me about how some progressive minority is running the show and letting everyone into the country without a second thought.

Paul Sanders5 said:Lol. In America, you can say whatever you want about the church and nothing happens to you. You can call out whoever you want, whenever you feel like it. And honestly? That’s just how a normal, healthy society should work in 2020.

In this country, any regular guy in some tiny town has more protection than those institutions because we're dealing with a corrupt system and a judicial mess.

You ever realize there are like 2,000 companies floating around in the US under HKC that aren't even subject to any actual oversight? It’s wild. And then you've got the church being the biggest property owner in the entire country. Honestly, all this talk about the church being "under threat" is just nonsense. It's like saying Real Madrid isn't allowed to win a title because of the USSF. Give me a break.

Look, I actually agree with you on this one. The Church needs to be its own little sovereign state. Obviously, if some random creep is out there assaulting kids, he belongs in a federal prison. But if it's a priest? Well, the way things work here in America, they just shuffle him off to a different parish. The cops and the legal system shouldn't be poking their noses into church business, which is exactly why they don't mess with it here in the States. 🙂
