You’re incompetent and this is a bad pitting. I deserve better, so here are some of my more memorable posts (bolding added): > [@Do the police ever kill some of those "battle-ready" private citizens standing in a group?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-the-police-ever-kill-some-of-those-battle-ready-private-citizens-standing-in-a-group/727199/26): > > I agree completely.

The past doesn’t matter. What matters is reality, right now, and in the real world **Islam is a dangerous and barbarous religion that has spent thousands of years trying desperately to subjugate every corner of the earth (thankfully, they were stopped by the low intelligence and incompetence of non-Jewish non-European peoples)**. If you deny that the Islamic world is an incomparably worse place to live than the West, you’re just as close-minded and ignorant as any of the groups (creationists, GMO advocates, anti-vaccinaters) you consider yourself superior to. > > Your transparently biased sources seem to be desperately trying to deny that cultural practices associated with Islam exist only in that culture. > > In the end, though, it doesn’t matter: it is the things you value, like feminism, equality, LGBT rights, and sexual liberation, that will be the first to go. > [@Intellectually, What Does Islam Offer The West?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intellectually-what-does-islam-offer-the-west/724949/113): > > …It’s not terrorism if it’s government enforced; \*\*get out of Christian lands or die.

That’s 600,000 perfect candidates for deportation. > [@Coontown on Reddit](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coontown-on-reddit/725264/130): > > …Agree completely. Marxists are an existential threat to our well being and way of life. **Every single one of them should be lined up against the wall and shot,** because that’s exactly what they’d do to us if they got into power.

Your coworkers. Your neighbors. And one in four would be perfectly happy stoning you to death for exercising your free speech rights. Islam is a cancer upon this Earth and an existential threat to the West. **Thankfully, it will be bourgeois degenerates like yourself who are the first to go, giving all real Americans carte blanche to defend our culture and way of life.** > [@Intellectually, What Does Islam Offer The West?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intellectually-what-does-islam-offer-the-west/724949/85): > > Commenting on the ‘beauty’ of a cherrypicked part of the Islamic world ignores the **inextricably related barbarity and depravity that invariably accompanies Islamic aesthetics.** > [@DRUG FUELED FANTASY #1 about the eurocrisis](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drug-fueled-fantasy-1-about-the-eurocrisis/727031/2): > > My ideal Greek solution would be a German-led military coalition that conquers the country and brutally reforms and liberalizes the economy. > [@Help gun nuts describe their views](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-gun-nuts-describe-their-views/726873/12): > > God bless the USA. > > You can pry my dozens of firearms and thousands of rounds of ammo from my cold, dead hands, except liberals are too cowardly and weak to do so.

Your efforts are absolutely futile, and you will never live in an America with fewer firearms than we have today.

She immediately assumed a combative and uncooperative attitude towards the officer, refusing direct lawful orders and resisting arrest. In a testament to the professionalism and competence of American law enforcement, she was arrested without harm to herself or others. > > Like many leftists, she suffered from mental illness. She consequently committed suicide in her cell, possibly correctly predicting that her death would continue the progressive narrative of a surge in law enforcement violence (when actual facts indicate that police brutality is at an all time low). The video of her cell, the autopsy report, and the scarcity of lynchings in the last five decades all support the obvious conclusion of suicide.

In fact, it’s hardly even begun.\*\* > [@Why is executing someone painlessly difficult?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-is-executing-someone-painlessly-difficult/723932/34): > > The problem is one of progressive’s own creation; **bleeding heart liberals who are desperate to save criminal scum make mountains out of every molehill in the execution process.** The reason the government can’t use the safe and effective drugs veterinarians use to put down animals is because public pressure campaigns instituted against manufacturers of those drugs (of course, by death penalty opponents) have prevented those drugs from being sold to governments that use the death penalty. This then forces the government to use marginally less effective drugs, and of course progressives are happy to complain about a problem that they themselves created. > > The real issue is that the debate is on false pretenses. Criminals didn’t give their victims painless deaths, and so the state has no obligation to do so either. But the debate has been co-opted by one side who argue about whether the drugs are perfectly painless, when we really should be discussing whether murderers and traitors deserve comfortable deaths at all.

Diversity is our strength and everyone knows the concepts that comprise the Western way of life, such as freedom of religion, non-violence and constitutional republics, are very important to Muslims. > > The Muslims may have been stopped at the border of France and then at the gates of Vienna, by the grace of God, the third time will be charm. They have a force more powerful than any army – they have millions of leftists desperate to signal their support for ‘human rights’ and Islam on their side. > > If you don’t agree that Europe needs some cultural enrichment from people who earn 10K/year and whose polity was in near-continuous decline for three centuries, you’re obviously Islamophobic and probably also racist. > > /s This is most of it, though there’s a couple less notable posts I left out. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/construct-are-you-for-real/727501)._
