Reply #154: Then why are you here? [View All]

[Pithlet]

If DU were the place you say it is, I certainly wouldn't be here. Why waste your time at such a place? Yes, we certainly do have a number of people here with extreme positions on things. But your characterization of this place as a whole is ridiculous, as is your characterization of people who support the shoe thrower.

Look, if you want to hold the position that the man shouldn't have thrown the shoes, fine. You're entitled to it. But surely you can understand why others might have some empathy for what the man has been through, even if you choose not give it any weight yourself. Do you honestly not see that that is why people understand why he did what he did? He threw shoes at a man who is responsible for the death and torture of his colleague. If what he did is not a reasonable reaction to you personally, can't you at least understand how that wouldn't be understandable to others? Come on, Bake.
