114. So qualifying a statement is too much to ask, then
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 01:00 PM by buddyhollysghost
You can have the last word after this if you wish. I have never suggested that we not debate the beliefs others hold that we find offensive. But there is a difference between debating beliefs and belittling someone who is a Christian, Wiccan, whatever.

I think making women wear veils is retarded. But there are Muslims on this board who post that they are Muslims, and if someone suggested to them that they have to fix all the wrong Muslims, or belittled them for believing in the Koran, that might be stepping over the line into accusation, prejudice and insult rather than debate.

That's my opinion and it will not change.

have a nice day. I'm going swimming....
