JL, the "they're more sensitive than we are" argument sux balls. This is a distasteful display of ignorance and many other things but there not ought to be a law or nothin' in this deal.

Food chain, deal with it, basically.

sensitivity doesn't enter into it. it's their reverence. it's like tearing down a crucifix and shitting in jesus's mouth. spraypainting a hundred swastikas on the wailing wall. grilling up a bunch of steaks next to the ganges.

it isn't like putting a gas tank and match to a pile of harry potter paperbacks. i agree there shouldn't be a law against it, but i also doubt there's going to be any fallout from this stunt that's positive in the least.

If you're going to have a free society you're gonna have to deal with the fallout. YOUR sensitivity or reverence is not MINE and I am not required to provide it with any due treatment that you might think necessary.

As long as I can do it legally within extant zoning, health, animal and fire codes I can have 10,000 monkeys shoot turds out their ass onto [name your zingers] while I spray it with burning magical goat urine and YOU CAN FUCK OFF.

I would also be quite utterly depraved and wrong, in my judgment and opinion, so I wouldn't do it.

So my take on this burnination dealio is very very simple.

There should be negative fallout to this. The unofficial courts of public opinion should point the finger of judgment at this cracker-barrel shit head and denounce this bullshit hokum stunt for the stupidity it is.

Kinda like people already done did.

But that's where it needs to stay, in the unofficial courts of public opinion. Any cracker jack that thinks about putting pen to paper on any limiting factor of legally taken expression oughtta have her or his bogger locker pickers smashed with a hammer.

They already have the 'public safety' and 'inciting to riot' hammers we let 'em have so they sure as heck don't need any more excuses.

I don't think anyone's saying that there ought to be a law against Quran burning. Not here, at least.

Though now I kind of wish someone would, just so Ash has someone to take out his frustration on today.

That reminds me -- anyone seen Fanta today?

I basically don't want to engage this issue with anyone, but all I have to say about it is: lets just redirect all the New York flights to Florida, ok? thanx.

It's be more productive to organize your own exhibition demonstrating a counterpoint to something you find distasteful. Fight fire with a touch of dignity, so to speak.

OK, now coming from me in this thread...that's just funny as hell.

Yeah the shit flinging goes both ways on this one. I'm just unclear what the objective of the book burner is other than trolling.
