Why do you guys even try to argue with varus anymore? It's clear he has de-evolved into the lowest form of internet troll there is.

He doesn't even try anymore.


There's no argument. You need to have reasoning to argue, and Varus doesn't believe in it. Instead it's kinda like midges while fishing. You know they're there, but they don't really do anything besides annoy you. Don't matter how often you swat them, there are always more. But it is somewhat cathartic to smack them down.

You're right. Look at the title of the thread; now look at how many liberals actually discussed the relevance of the head of NY (one of the most liberal states) taxi cab drivers making the claims he did.

So what do you do? You attack me and christianity. That's the liberal solution for everything. Never mind the fact that your liberal ideology is the reason minorities like mexicans and blacks in urban cities have devolved, as you like to put it, into the state they are currently in. But hey let's just extend their welfare and forget about it.




Supertw*t,

o_O

Kindly quote where I attacked Christianity? Of course I attack you, it's just too easy.

As for the OP? It's totally up to cab drivers to profile. In their case I see little wrong with it. It's not fair, but it's safe, and if safety is your priority, you don't pick up the stranger with a hockey mask and a bloody chainsaw. I don't think his comments were PC, but there's a far cry between an established political activist who has both a Hispanic and black heritage saying: "Use selective profiling to stay safe" and what you say: "Mexicans and blacks in cities are devolved."

Locked,

When you misrepresent the intent of Christs teachings in some smug attempt to play gotcha with me, that's an attack.

It's fair and what's more it's justified.

For example, let's say you're a Christian listening to a Muslim preach to you about how he lives his life according to Islam and says "I don't drink alcohol, I'm a Muslim" while eating a pork chop. You don't have to believe in the Qu'ran or believe that eating pork is bad to point out that HIS beliefs/holy book says he shouldn't eat pork. Are you "taking the side" of the Qu'ran by pointing out his hypocrisy? No.


No one's arguing that said scenario would not be hypocrisy. But to follow the analogy, it's not a Christian listening to a Muslim, but a vegan listening to a Muslim. And to the vegan, chicken and pork are both meat and eating them is wrong. So he attempts to argue to the Muslim eating some chicken that what he's eating is the same as pork and thus he's violating his own religious beliefs and is a hypocrite.


The issue isn't with the meaning of hypocrisy, but with your interpretation of the subject matter. Just as a vegan might not see a distinction between chicken and pork, you don't see a distinction between being charitable and giving away *all* your possessions (or allowing the government to tax them all away).

When I quote what someone wrote directly and point out "This is what they wrote," and it's true but it hurts your feelings, it's an attack? Someone needs to grow a pair, either you or Christianity, but I'm not quite sure which Smiley: lol

Perhaps fair was the wrong word? It's discrimination. I think the proper rebuttal would be "Discriminating is not necessarily a bad thing." Perhaps you have another idea of the concept of fair?

Even though they are the majority, Christians are the quickest to cry foul/discrimination.

What's wrong with just being as careful as you can with every customer? Anyone of any race or creed can pull a gun whether it's some stereotypical "gangsta" type or a 50 year old fat white guy in a 3 piece suit. Even if one is more likely than the other to rob you, you shouldn't let your guard down on anybody.
While we're at it, we should really remind them to check their fuel gauge so they don't run out of gas.
