The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Wow Lucius, there is hope for you yet. Although I'm still waiting for you to show me where I'm a bigot.

And DE no, just no.

I believe I have mentioned before, that when it comes to dealing with terrorism, homeland security and any kind of Islamic extremist scum, I'm hard right.

nah. That's petty.

Yeah, I'm sure that they're doing what they're doing becuase they're just Eeeeeevil, and absolutely not, y'know, becuase we bombed the shit out of their country. Yeah, thats probably it.

(wonders if I'm joking)

Surely you don't think some of their... domestic policies are conscionable.

And I promise never to call you Shirley again.

No I bet you're serious. I bet it's our fault 9/11 happened. I bet it's our fault there's suicide bombings there every week. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Radical Islam, and everything to do with our dirty Imperialism.

Weird, because terrorism is pretty black and white. Hitler and the Nazis were black and white. Stalin's terror were black and white. Obviously a LOT of things, if not most things, are relative. However, there ARE examples of universal good and evil, as described above.

Still no.

I'm glad you backed that up!

DE: Did you even read the story? They murdered doctors who were there giving FREE MEDICAL CARE. I don't care how you spin it, you cannot make the actions of the Taliban in this story remotely humane.

Of course you can TJ because there is no right or wrong, everything is relative!

He's right y'know, TJ. You can learn alot from DS's attitude.

It's funny that the majority of people actually have a hard on for relativism either hang out on forums, starbucks, or in their own little tight knit groups. I wonder why that is. (Hint: insecurities).

Relativism is the default position and it is not sustainable. Religious individuals apply a religious framework to right and wrong via divine command theory. Some atheists like me apply the framework of human happiness and wellbeing.

Go around shouting that everything is relative makes you look like a dumbass that doesn't know jack shit past basic Philo 101.

They probably have pretty tiny winkles.
