Social distancing vs Prayer

[GrandizerII]

Hey fuckface, one of my best friends lives in Pakistan.

Did you not see the news clips of white teens on the beaches of FLA during spring break this week?

Take your bigotry and shove it up your fucking ass!

And had you not seen the Jewish Wailing  Wall event last week?

Calm yourself, Brian. There’s nothing bigoted about OLB’s post. Gathering in large numbers is just about the worst thing people can do right now. 

You’re perfectly right to bring up the crowding on beaches and in Jerusalem. This is stupid, just like gathering in a mosque is stupid. 

If OLB had posted a link about people congregating at beaches, would you call him a bigot? 

You said OLB is ‘flat out wrong’. About what?

It's disguised bigotry. There would be no point to this thread if it weren't motivated by bigotry. Could say the same about another thread or two made recently here as well.

Really? So is the news website also motivated by bigotry? Are we not allowed to discuss it?

When it comes to teens on the beaches of FLA, they are stupid but because they are horny and can't control themselves, while people gathering because they think God will heal them with their magic are just stupid.

You need to stop with this shit. Seriously.

The OP was a dig at Pakistanis, and you're using this opportunity to express your own bigotry against religious people. No surprises there.

What bigotry? I'm certainly not going to respect it, Torquemada. Thinking that God's magic will heal you is stupid, I mean we're not in medieval times anymore. People should know better.

It was a dig at those Pakistanis who crowd into mosques when the scientific consensus is that it's dangerous to do so.

I remain unconvinced that referring to religionists who insist on putting themselves in danger as 'twatwaffles' qualifies as bigotry.  We're getting ready to read about those Filipinos who crucify themselves at Easter.  These people are twatwaffles.  There are plenty of stories about parents who prefer prayer to medical care for their kids.  More twatwaffles.  You know those snake handlers who get bitten and die?  Twatwaffles.

The Pakistanis in the story are no different.

Emphasis being on Pakistanis, not people in general. Reread the OP.

The OP has a posting history here that we all have access to, I don't know why some of us want to pretend this wasn't just another opportunity to denigrate people different from "us".

BUT - not in Pakistan.

I have re-read the OP.  The case for bigotry remains weak.

From the article:

But in Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, mosques were crowded as a religious scholar told his congregation via loudspeaker: "We are not too weak to let this one virus empty our mosques."

OLB was referring to people who crowd together in mosques, not to Pakistanis in general, not even to religionists in general.

Yeah.

Having trouble seeing that one myself.

I can criticise individuals, groups, or organisations without making it an attack against the whole country they happen to be in.

I think Trump and his cronies, republican, media, and supporters alike are a cancer in the world. That doesn't mean I immediately equate all of the American people with those fuckwits.

I disagree with many of the policies of the Israeli government. That doesn't immediately make me an anti-semite.

Hell, people have been commenting on idiots hoarding supplies, Aussies included. I didn't immediately jump on and say, "fuck you! I have Aussie friends. How dare you attack them, you cunt!"*

They ARE Aussies.
They ARE fuckwits.


*Except to Iggy.

When your government (as well as your imam and the entire medical community) tells you that for now at least, it's better, safer and wiser to perform your religious devotions at home instead of jammed into a mosque cheek-to-jowl with 1000 other people and you refuse to do so, you're a twatwaffle, full stop.  If you opt to pray at home, you're very, very low in the twatwaffle index.

If I relayed a story about some mother refusing to vaccinate her kids - dorkasses like these would say I'm sexist for talking smack about a woman.

Even though the quoted story was about her and not some guy.
