One of the worst things anybody could say.

I know you guys are practicing a lot of hyperbole, but c'mon, one of the worst things anybody could say? Sometimes words matter you know.

So tell me, how they don't matter in this case.

You said that that quote was one of the worst things any human being can say. Not 'Kill all the Jews' or 'Nuke 'em till they glow' or something like that. I mean off the top of my head I can think of 1000 worse things human beings do say all the time. So it's fine to disagree with someone's politics, but why does it always have to be taken to such an extreme with you guys? It's not one of the worst things a human being can say, not even close. Stop being silly constantly.

I said it's one of the worst things, you're correct. Should I have included all the other worst things people can say? That would have been a pretty long list. Your's is incomplete too. Should I call you out for that?

Talking about hyperbole here.

One of the worst out of what? 100,000. It's totally silly. Saudi Arabia crucifies people who politically disagree with them, but this is one of the worst things a human being has said. I mean, it's just not. I don't agree with scalia at all on that, but don't be ridiculous.

Uhm, well, so tell me what isn't bad in approving the execution of innocents by simply saying, the system.

Let's keep it to that quote and tell me, why it's not one of the worst things.

I think I have shown respectful restraint by not speculating as to Saclia's torments in hell




















yet.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I didn't say it wasn't bad. I said it wasn't one of the worst things a person can say, duh. You guys need to realize that not everything has to be stated in the most extreme way possible to make a point. The worst??? I mean really. I reserve the word worst for things that are......you know, the worst. Just to keep to the topic of the death penalty: That quote, for which we have no context what so ever, pales in comparison to Saudi's justifying the execution of political dissidents, or Islamic extremists thinking execution is okay for apostates or adulturers. Even that is just on the death penality. I wouldn't say those are the 'worst things a human being can say' either.

I really just want to know what it's like to be inside your head for a couple of hours.

Approving the death of innocents is one of the worst things anyone can say. But feel free to list your 100.000 hitparade of worst things. Maybe starting with what's the worst worse. Might be an excellent exercise in nitpicking.

Not in the mood? Well, me neither. That's why I judge every quote on it's own merit.

Yeah, it could definitely be worse. Especially if Barack Insane Obumshit appoints another far left radical to the SCOTUS. The Supreme Court is already radicalized enough with leftist zealots like Ginsberg, the Wicked Witch of the far left. Term limits for SCOTUS Justices! I only hope the Republicans aren't so wimpish to delay another leftwing appointee.

I figured you'd crawl out from under a rock to demonstrate what a fuckhead you are.
