So should we let the Colorado shooter walk because he isn't shooting any more people?
No. We shoudlnt.
Just because someone stops what they were doing at some point (dude killing/ordering to kill a bunch of people) doesn't mean that he didn't do it before.
[editline]31st July 2012[/editline]
Wait wait wait wait.
Do you think I would rather him dead than alive in a prison somewhere?
Because if they brought him in alive that would be about a thousand times better.

Who said anything about letting James Holmes walk free? Why would anyone do that?
[QUOTE=legolover122;37022986]So should we let the Colorado shooter walk because he isn't shooting any more people?[/QUOTE]
So anything but death is no justice at all?
How the fuck can you pretend you're a good person?
I don't care if you have the bloodlust but stop pretending you have the moral high ground. Those two things are mutually exclusive.
[QUOTE=RaxaHax;37023011]lol.

Its a comparison.
He is saying that because he stopped killing people that he shoudln't have died when the people raided his house.
I am saying that just because he stopped killing people doesn't nullify his previous actions.

If they put him in jail then that would have been a helluva lot better than killing him in his house.

Maybe you should think shit through before you say it.
I never said the death penalty was the only option in his case.
What I am saying is that we were happy that SOME FORM OF JUSTICE was done.
Unfortuanatly it was death.

[QUOTE=Lankist;37023065]Maybe you should think shit through before you say it.[/QUOTE]
I never said otherwise though.
I never said or implied that if I could make the choice between killing him and putting him in prison I would choose killing him.
It was your fault that you misinterpreted my posts.
[QUOTE=legolover122;37023081]I never said the death penalty was the only option in his case.[/QUOTE]
You sure as shit implied it by pretending the fact that I think killing is wrong means we should "let him walk."
Step back and think about your rhetoric for a bit. You're going into a backpedaling tailspin.

Letting one walk =/= putting in prison/jail =/= death penalty.

Stop backpedaling. This is what you said.
I don't care what qualifiers you added to it. If you said "I'm not racist, but..." before calling Osama Bin Laden a 'sand nigger,' I'd still be calling you racist no matter how many disclaimers you added to the end of it. You said those words right there, and now you're in some self-fucking-delusion pretending you didn't. Stop revising your argument on the fly.
[QUOTE=Lankist;37022791]That atheists are a minority.[/QUOTE]
So if atheists are a minority why keep it as a default subreddit?
You keep holding onto this thing that I said death penalty was the only option, and IF I said that your argument would have much better quality.
Even though I never said that.

It doesn't, that's basic logic. The U.S. can carry out their mission and kill Osama, if they deem him a terror threat and a target, go ahead United States, do what you want.
But I'm not going to go out to the streets at night and start cheering and waving several American flags because the US killed someone that they told us was a bad guy.
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;37023204]So if atheists are a minority why keep it as a default subreddit?[/QUOTE]
Because it's not a democracy.
The creator(s) of Reddit is (are) an atheist(s) so they made atheism a default subreddit. If you don't like it, unsubscribe. You don't get any more say than that.
[QUOTE=Lankist;37023220]Because it's not a democracy.[/QUOTE]
So then you've contradicted your previous post:
[QUOTE=Lankist;36973293]Why do you guys read shit solely to get mad about it?
[editline]28th July 2012[/editline]
I mean, if all the atheists you hate are posting in r/atheism, they aren't posting everywhere else about shit you hate. They make their own place to hang out and trade shitty jokes, and you get mad at them for having a place to do that. They don't make that place and make shitty jokes everywhere else, and you'd get mad at them for that. It seems less about them having their own niche and more about you not wanting them to exist.
You can just, you know, not go there.

Like I don't go to Sunday mass primarily because I don't really want to hear it. Partially because I'd feel like Solid Snake in that scene on the boat with the huge army in MGS2, like I could get found out and obliterated at any moment.
But mostly the not wanting to hear it thing.[/QUOTE]

Kind of hard not going there when you're forced to go there when you visit reddit for the first time. To use your analogy, it'd be more like being forced to go to Sunday mass once and deciding to leave from there.

No. If I couldn't unsubscribe, I'd go to a different site. Shit I probably wouldn't be going to a site like that to begin with.
Jesus, you're quite the reactionary one, aren't you?
Actually I would probably subscribe to r/Romney to keep up with all the silly shit he says all of the time.
Is that a real subreddit?
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;37023387]You mean you wouldn't have a problem with being automatically subscribed to r/Christianity, r/Conservatism, r/Romney, etc?[/QUOTE]
I think I would just un-subscribe to them.
Or possibly [B]not go onto the site.[/B]
The best thing I can say about reddit? The Masses are Asses. Once a subreddit goes over a certain subscription threshold it kinda turns to shit- E;G /r/atheism, /r/gaming, /r/minecraft. My favorite subs are /r/worldoftanks, /r/castlestory, and /r/askscience. /r/askreddit can be okay besides the constant "guise my life is bad secure my self esteem for me". [also, adviceanimals is fucking stupid, funny is reposted shit erryday, and F7U12 is something I refuse to address]
At least /r/atheism is not as bad as ShitRedditSays;

Yes.
Why would you think celebrating the death of another human being, whomever that human being may be, is a morally righteous thing to do?
Death is a tragedy. To celebrate the death of a death dealer is not only morally reprehensible, but also wholly disrespectful to their victims. Death is nothing to cheer in the streets about.

I don't think anyone really cares about atheism stereotypes. They've embraced Dr. House and the whole "eating babies" thing pretty thoroughly.
Shit, half the posts on r/atheism are like "we're a minority because every time we have children we eat them!"
As Joe Rogan put it:
If you ever start taking things too seriously, just remember we're all a bunch of talking monkeys on an organic space ship hurdling through the universe.
Atheists joke about themselves all of the time. Shit, Richard Dawkins frequently compares attempts at mobilizing atheists as 'herding cats.' Atheists are really disparate. The only thing we really have in common is that we don't believe in god(s). Everything else is fair game. Scientifically-minded atheists are a more popular subset, but there are plenty of whackjob, new-age, crystal-sucking fuckers that easily qualify for the label.

The point is you don't pretend you've got some moral high ground when you throw your morals away at the first opportunity for some bloodshed.
