An opinion is to offer one's view or insight on the topic.
i.e. "I don't believe" "There is no scientific evidence"
Really... I would never have guessed...
Going the extra step and making a point to ridicule the inviduals who believe AND ridiculing their religious matyr is not giving an opinion. Its being a classless fvck. (Put the PC, Insensitive crap aside..it makes him sound like a Goddamn Southern Klansman).
I've gotta say i have never seen these posts of toms that apparently ridicule and belittle those of religion....
I see tom asking for people to post them and no one showing these posts.... I see a coup[le of quotes from andy that if one reads the whole thread... I cannot see the real issue with....
I see other people saying worse and not getting jumped on like tom does... I see people bringing up things supposedly said a year ago, which is pretty pathetic....
Please... I may well have missed them.. but please show where these disgraceful posts are.....
We never be-littled his lack of belief. We never ridiculed his outlook. I personally have a thing for the way he puts people down and makes fun of them because of what they believe in.
FOR THE LAST TIME:
Its not his opinion that is the problem it is the way he ridiculed and disrespected people in the process.
Be it Muslim, Buddhist, Christian or Hindu..Whatever...people believe what they want but 'tolerance' and 'respect' are basic rights everyone is entitled to.
I dont see that... i see the reaction to toms lack of religion being matched by others reactions to his poats... no more...
I also remember the most condescending posts coming from those of religion ... going on about how they feel sorry for those without faith and talking of them as lesser beings....
But as i said i may have missed something... Please show these posts that are belittling and offensive...
Paul, you got on people's back because they said the food in England was bad...is that not an opinion??? Is someone not entitled to speak their mind about that?
That was different as it was from people that actually hadnt been too the country or from people who had only done the tourist traps and ate junk food.... Eg. people who actually had no idea what they were talking about....
Yes, but not when they be-little the Brits in the same breath..
see my point.
Not at all and you know that damn well....
