Waiwaiwaiwaiwait. First it’s righty PC. Now there are knee-jerk conservatives? :dubious: Someone needs to read up on their clichés…
Nothing about the OP or topic at hand, and IANAMoA, but just wanting to say that Bri1 will eventually be banned. With his/her behavior and OPs he/she has written him/herself…it’s just a matter of WHEN, not IF.
Knee jerk conservative. Singular.
So, a guy who’s a Muslilm goes nuts, do we expect that the voices in his head will be Unitarian?
Of course, our first question is, is this guy nuts, nuts in an organic way, schizophrenic, or suffering from some stress induced psychosis? But is the guy who follows orders from his dog somehow more authentically crazy than the guy who hears from an invisible sky pixie that rules the Universe?
If our historical circumstances were different, we wouldn’t be looking to a question of treachery, we would regard deranged religiosity as just another of a constellation of symptoms. If a Catholic went insane and shot some soldiers because he thinks God told him to, we wouldn’t be worried that the Jesuits were infiltrating our armed forces.
It shouldn’t surprise us at all that someones religious persuasion would figure prominently if that person suffers psychosis. That it doesn’t more commonly is probably more a reflection of the fact that most of us wear our religious persuasions rather lightly, that our religious convictions (such as they are) don’t figure prominently in our thinking to begin with.
No… great idea! How bout we learn not to tiptoe around protected classes if there is reason to believe someone could be a problem??
You’re kidding me right?
“Diversity” is more important than the dead soldiers???
Whaddayaknow?
I was 48 hours out front of Morning Joe where Barnicle and the others were discussing the “political correctness” a few minutes ago.
I’m sure many of you good libs were watching.
Speaking of incoherent… was I just insulted? Please explain.
I believe that Idle Thoughts was speaking of the OPs written by Bri1600bv and not yours at all. No insult.
I can see that now… sorry for my jerky knee, Idle !
I have no experience with military culture but I have heard of those kinds of mindsets etc.
I’ve also heard, however, of recent tendencies to use the military for things other than fighting wars … and also of military lawyers taking over. Just things I’ve heard.
From where, your ass?
Apparently from Joe Scarborough’s upcoming Thursday broadcast.
You never expect the Unitarian Jihad.
No, I’m not kidding you. Here’s the entire quote surrounding the words you think are bullshit:
I want you to highlight the part you think is bullshit and tell me why you think that.
What mental illness has Hasan been diagnosed with? And how did you come by this information?
He just shot ~15 people. That means he’s fucking crazy.
Correct, when taken in conjunction with what we know of his increasing religious mania, homicidal ideation and probable psychosis leading up to it.
No it doesn’t. Maybe he considered himself at war. You might think it’s crazy but it fits into his belief system very well, apparently.
Actually, it doesn’t at all. That’s one of the reasons we know he was crazy.
