I'll quote.. MalkierKnight Send a noteboard - 03/09/2010 08:01:49 PM
When I looked at the replies above mine they all pretty much said the same sort of thing about how it was close to the truth. I'll admit I didn't delve into the long thread that started with the link issues because I thought it didn't apply.


This is fair enough.

I'll also admit that I haven't checked what else has been said, but that's because it wasn't said at the time I wrote my post. Up to that point, it looked like most people were generalizing all the people who didn't support the muslim community center.


This seems to be untrue to me - can you point out which where any of the three replies made before you replied did this?
I said - "In fact, I'm not sure that counts as parody so much as a fair representation of some"
Moondog commented on a single instance of a post that sounded like it on his ex's Facebook page.
Blackadder didn't state either way.

You seem to have replied to what you think people would say rather than what they actually said but since it is only three replies, I'm sure it won't take you long to prove me wrong and that you weren't just making a generalisation that isn't supported by fact.

Your own post saying that it is disturbingly accurate, while paired with the statement that it's a fair representation of "some" does make it less generalizing, to say that it's "disturbingly accurate" at all is just ridiculous. There might be a small minority of people who feel that way about the mosque, but really most people are just misinformed, or have real, normal, fair concerns over it.

And it's also not like this is the first time I've come across people generalizing those against the "ground zero mosque." It seems like everywhere I turn the people who support it look at those who don't as racist lunatics.

Which is completely unfair.
You must unlearn what you have learned.

So does the Onion constitute Ludic Parody? *NM* damookster - 02/09/2010 05:10:03 PM 267 Views
More satire, I think Camilla - 02/09/2010 05:23:17 PM 471 Views
When I click on a link embedded in a post Sareitha Sedai - 02/09/2010 02:14:35 PM 452 Views
It's a browser option, not one of the site here *NM* ironclad - 02/09/2010 02:33:59 PM 211 Views
Really? Sareitha Sedai - 02/09/2010 02:39:19 PM 442 Views
Are you sure? snoopcester - 02/09/2010 02:41:39 PM 510 Views
Yeah, that's what I figure too, because some links open in a separate tab and others don't for me. *NM* Legolas - 02/09/2010 02:45:33 PM 222 Views
Try clicking this link again, with the left mouse button Floffe - 02/09/2010 02:50:43 PM 449 Views
Mmmm, which link? Camilla's? Sareitha Sedai - 02/09/2010 02:53:44 PM 462 Views
Yes Floffe - 02/09/2010 03:05:11 PM 460 Views
Did you edit her link to add the target=_blank part? Sareitha Sedai - 02/09/2010 04:43:16 PM 473 Views
How would Floffe do that? Only Camilla or an admin can do that, and an admin wouldn't. *NM* Legolas - 02/09/2010 05:27:53 PM 204 Views
Well Floffe could be an admin for all I know But I thought he was talking to me Sareitha Sedai - 02/09/2010 06:48:41 PM 427 Views
My reply was directed at Jens, as he seems to have something funky going on *NM* Floffe - 02/09/2010 05:56:55 PM 216 Views
not on mine snoopcester - 02/09/2010 03:00:18 PM 462 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about Floffe - 02/09/2010 03:06:21 PM 453 Views
And there was me thinking you were of some use snoopcester - 02/09/2010 03:12:16 PM 472 Views
Mine too; clicking the link with the scrollwheel doesn't open anything. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 02/09/2010 04:40:57 PM 197 Views
He means what happens when you click anywhere else on the screen with the middle button. Legolas - 02/09/2010 03:48:30 PM 448 Views
I think that is a setting... jh - 02/09/2010 05:41:09 PM 433 Views
Ah, right, that one Floffe - 02/09/2010 05:58:58 PM 378 Views
The two aren't mutually exclusive. Legolas - 02/09/2010 06:24:29 PM 517 Views
still, that's another setting. but who wants the scrollything anyway? *NM* jh - 02/09/2010 06:31:08 PM 186 Views
It might be snoopcester - 02/09/2010 06:38:09 PM 525 Views
Hah, didn't know that! ironclad - 03/09/2010 08:16:32 AM 462 Views
Middle click (scroll wheel, that is) should open it in a new window/tab *NM* Floffe - 02/09/2010 02:52:07 PM 186 Views
I do that fairly instinctively these days for all links *NM* Stephen - 02/09/2010 04:20:45 PM 193 Views
Me too Camilla - 02/09/2010 05:21:34 PM 824 Views
i think that guy's sister posted the same thought process on my ex-wife's facebook page moondog - 02/09/2010 09:10:05 PM 505 Views
This is one of those instances where it's less funny because it's true *NM* BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 10:14:15 PM 195 Views
Yes. *NM* Camilla - 02/09/2010 10:51:17 PM 199 Views
I find it ironic that... MalkierKnight - 02/09/2010 10:58:24 PM 644 Views
I like your reply. snoopcester - 02/09/2010 11:06:29 PM 473 Views
Well... MalkierKnight - 03/09/2010 04:25:13 AM 575 Views
For me it was from years of watching how muslims that I have worked with were treated. Tashmere - 03/09/2010 05:24:38 AM 477 Views
I'll agree MalkierKnight - 03/09/2010 07:50:42 PM 636 Views
Yes, what Tashmere said BlackAdder - 03/09/2010 05:35:39 AM 605 Views
You mean the three replies that relate to the contents of the link? snoopcester - 03/09/2010 10:29:41 AM 509 Views
I'll quote.. MalkierKnight - 03/09/2010 08:01:49 PM 713 Views
See? You can't find it can you? snoopcester - 04/09/2010 02:42:02 PM 547 Views
Rape camp! *NM* everynametaken - 03/09/2010 01:32:48 AM 232 Views
Too accurate to be funny. Tashmere - 03/09/2010 01:41:58 AM 457 Views
Re: Too accurate to be funny. Camilla - 03/09/2010 08:18:28 AM 439 Views
