Who knows, Seven might pop up and refute it and insult you while he's at it. :p

Finished half a bottle of Tequila tonight :D Stayed in by myself and damn, I'm tired...

"Why shouldn't I ? Tell me why I shouldn't". Comes off as a little defensive.

Anyway, fucking up really has nothing to do with it. Some people are for lack of a better term assholes. Assholes don't deserve respect and I'm not going to give it to just anyone. At the same time I'm not going be disrespectful to them, it's common courtesy. I think we may agree a bit not that you've explained.

Now if you wanna go starting the "respect doesn't exist" argument that's fine but you're on your own because goes down a long and dreary road of philosophical b/s that ends up with nothing existing and mankind merely a figment of some giant's dream.:D
If only Seven could grasp this concept. He doesn't have to "respect" other peoples beliefs if he thinks they are absurd, which he is entitled to, but at the same time he shouldn't be disrespectful. For Seven its all black and white, either he respects or he disrespects.

This is mere semantics. Not respecting someone is generally considered the same as disrespecting someone. What an absurd argument.

You could translate it as "does not follow". Which means that your comment does not seem related to what someone else said just before you.

Like i said. For you its just black and white.

and no this discussion is not about semantics.

You're saying that you either respect someone or disrespect someone. That means you probably disrespect 99.9999 % of the people in the world, which makes sense, because it reflects what type of human being you are.

I don't respect you.

Now how does that sound? Do you really think that there is such a big difference between not respecting and disrespecting?

This is just insane. You build up a solid argument and then you conclude the exact opposite of what would be logical. The only conclusion could be that Islam has been standing still. It hasn't advanced anymore, which means you are basically in the Stone Age compared to the West.
It doesn't make any sense to say that it has been "standing still". You can't change religion because it loses its validity. What would be the point of being a Muslim if we're going to start changing the teachings of it? That doesn't make any sense.

That is the dumbest thing I've heard in a long, long time, Ze.
