I WONDER WHY

gotta laugh

TIL a new quote. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/231391-because-if-you-don-t-stand-up-for-the-stuff-you

Thanks, Quartering, for reading a Kotaku article that had this quote in it.

And it's damn right. Principles are hard. It means sometimes you have to defend people and actions you hate.

defending an idea is not necessarily defending all that it may entail imo

for example claiming we should respect each other

there are limitations

I mean, that's pretty blatant.

same as free speech i suppose

I've finally gotten to where I can boil the elements of my prime principle down to a simple concept: Universality.

although i do defend the right of someone to say what they feel no matter what

i just don't necessarily defend their opinion i suppose, so nevermind

I will not condemn or attempt to revoke rights from someone based on a religion

i might actually

Because I myself would not want the same done to me.

it depends on what is going on in the religion, or what they consider to be

Instead, I will focus on the standards by which I, myself, would gladly be judged.

And that is action.

for example, Muhammed supposedly had married a wife that was not even a preteen when he was around 50

and many muslims defend that

Sure. W/E.

They can.

does anyone know what was in the tweet from hulu @Timcast did reply to ? it's been deleted and bot wasn't fast enough to copy it to twitter feed 😉

yeah i just think that you can't paint a broad swath over all religion being equal or free

there are cults and nasty ones

But you miss the point.

They can believe this happened. They can believe it's okay. I really don't care.

there could be a religion that is literally made to be satanic or evil to a cartoonish degree

The fact is if they try it

They should be punished to the full extent of the law.

No exceptions, no excuses.

@aukkras Hulu said not to culturally appropriate during halloween

so they can preach and defend it but it's okay as long as they aren't proven to copy it?

That basically sums up free speech, yes.

golly

And that's principles for you.

i agree with your principle

It's not always easy

But it's undeniably right.

but then we would be justified in watching people who identify with crazy ideas like that
