[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;51545139]I can see why you have this title[/QUOTE] What does me not finding some jokes funny have anything to do with me calling people out for quite literally overreacting?
[QUOTE=CrumbleShake;51542592]Yeh lol its weird that people hold the free world to a higher standard than Saudi Arabia[/QUOTE] why should we not hold saudi arabia to higher standards?
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;51545683]why should we not hold saudi arabia to higher standards?[/QUOTE] The problem isn't that we're holding Saudi Arabia to lower standards. If we held them to low standards, no one would care about this. The problem is that people are delusional as fuck when people think it's somehow a problem with hypocrisy/double standards that people aren't reacting the same as they would if the United States did that. The United States is a free country, where you can believe whatever you want to believe and think whatever you want to think. Saudi Arabia is a country run by a corrupt government who wants you to believe what they want you to believe, and think what they want you to think. Saudi Arabia being below standards =/= Saudi Arabia having low standards. Saying otherwise is like saying 2/10 == 2/2 in math.
[QUOTE=!LORD M!;51542002]Imagine the chaos if someone was talking about cultural inoculation against Islam.[/QUOTE] I imagine that such a suggestion would be heavily criticized, kind of like how Saudi Arabia is being heavily criticized for doing that right now. What double-standard are you trying to expose, exactly?
[QUOTE=UK Bohemian;51545055]This flies in the face of the opinion that Islam is a tolerant, peaceful religion when an entire country (population 30 million) made up entirely of muslims has a Government ideology of indoctrination against western values, atheism and Liberalism. The irony being that the Liberals are the apologists for anything wayward with the muslim world.[/QUOTE] conservatives are the ones building them bombs. Conservatives are also the ones who look the other way, at least liberals have tried to tie the sort of critical arms deals to human rights deals in order to leverage them.
