To all those whom I offended yesterday... (13 Viewers)

I don't buy that argument, really. A Jesus caricature has made regular appearances in episodes of South Park, and nobody called for death threats. In fact, even in this country of psychotic Christians, I'm actually a bit surprised that no one has even called for a boycott.

But I think we're talking about specific Muslims here -- the kind that have little information flow from the "outside world". For them, religious satire almost seems unheard of. Most Muslims I know just shrugged it off, but that's likely because in order to be exposed to some chump in San Francisco like me, they've perhaps experienced a bit more of the world and have more of a perspective.

A lot of it is about exposure. As a counter example, I remember the huge Christian boycott and freak-out here over the release of the Martin Scorsese/Willem Dafoe movie The Last Temptation of Christ. Turns out that all the people who freaked out about it had never bothered to see it.
we Muslims are more attached to our religion and maybe more than christian as we pray 5 times a day and even with all our differences the only thing that really unit us is the religion. am not saying that christians are not religious also, but Muslims are much uptight.
and to be honest i don't get it why do they make fun of any religious symbol. it's just wrong is there nothing leeft to make fun of? am a muslim and to be honest i feel offended even when they make fun of the christ or jews. ppl need to learn there limits and respect to all the religion even if u don't belevie in

I have no doubt you're as racist in real life as you were that night.
Jebem ti boga or jebem vam boga is something we use all the time even when we argue with our friends and relatives and you know it. Now he used the Arabic word for Bog and suddenly hell brakes loose and he's labelled with racism or nationalism.

If it was Iceland that eliminated us in such fashion he'd do the same and swear at their pigmentless Bog. I doubt you'd bother in that case and call him a racist. But now when it's about Turkey you can't forget it and you keep mentioning it for 3 days.
Which leads me to my question from the Balkan thread, Kakve veze vi iz Bosne imate sa turcima, pa tako zdusno navijate za njih and why would you take it so personal if someone talks shit about the Turkish players ?

He made a big mistake, he said he's sorry and he means it. Why don't you simply let it go ?

Thats just the thing, I dont believe he would say the same thing if it was England, or Sweden or Holland that knocked Croatia out, i believe he said it just because it was Turkey.


And TBH, I dont get that whole attachment to Turkey thing either, I personally only supported them after Croatia scored because I like the drama and excitement and I wanted to see penalties.


Think is, if it was somebody else he would have been banned by now, and rightly so, but you deleted the thread and you're covering for him, which leads to double standards.

If it was that m-elleyvan guy or whatever his name is said the same thing he'd be banned in a second.

Not if i was the first one who saw the thread.
I don't believe in ban at first sight :)
I didn't delete the thread because it was created by Vlatko but because it could lead to 5 days of members arguing and insulting eachother. Vlatko was warned and he knows that he can't do that again.

Vlatko has been a member for three years and only made this one small screw up and never given any other indications that he is racist. People get away with much worse things but as soon as religion is involved, it's a big no no and you want to hang him.

Let's do it.

    He's not covering up for me, what is wrong with you? That kind of thread would have been deleted instantly if it was opened up by anyone, because it would fuel unnecessary fighting, trolling, etc. So, if you were mod, you would have banned me instantly and left the thread visible? Yeah, no wonder you sucked as mod, Mr. Enforcer.

    And FYI, Alen didn't warn me, Swag did. I got 4 infraction points, whatever that means, so if he didn't consider it worthy as an instant ban, I'll accept his decision. And believe me, almost pretty much everyone here knows what "jebemti" means in our language, just as Sadomin knows what Pedercina means ( :D ). Putting their(your) God in the same sentence is pretty self-explanatory. I also swore at our(my) God in the same sentence, I don't see Catholics attacking me?

    It was a passionate moment, whichever team it was I would have been just as angry, you can be sure of that.

    Exactly, I only ever got one warning on this forum before and that was for going off-topic.

    Frankly, I haven't got a clue why Zlatan is persisting so much on this issue. I hardly know the guy, I only became active on this forum around the time he (supposedly) left it for good. My only guess is because of the constant criticism he recieved, while he was mod. If he was still in charge, I would have been toast.

    Zlatan never posts, but for some reason he pops up right in the middle of certain conversations, it's like he's obsessively reading the forum. :D

    We had a lot of fun at Zlatan's expense. I don't know how many times he announced that he was leaving and then came back. It became a running joke. But he's classy enough not to hold it against us.

    Noel Coward's spirit lives on.

    An apology where one says, they had no choice is not worth the virtual toilet paper it is written on.


    I say close this thread and open a Kosher sausage factory.

    :p

    is there any doubt that this guy has the best sense of humor on this forum ??!!

    You really come off so forced in your pathetic attempt to be rude or provocative. You couldnt come off more boring in your feeble tries to be as much of an ass as you can be. Feel free to conjure more stale ways to try to offend people in vain and pompous attempts to feel superior.

    I regurarly see you trying to personally target couple of posters around here (Fred one of them), and its allways the same half assed routine of trying really gunho to be rude, its so meh by now, broken record.

    I wont say jump off a cliff like Fred said, but either shut it or be atleast amusingly creative in your pathetic attempts to insult. You somehow deluded yourself I would give shit about your psuedo analysis too (or any of your "oh look at me, Im such an awesome ass" posts), which is the only amusing part of this all.

    You are sooo frigging predictable.
    You still haven't given me your opinion about the subject at hand. If anything your the one making ad hominem attacks here ;). I don't target Fred at all by the way, but I see him targetting me, which is why I respond every so often. It's also not about trying to be rude, I am actually a kind and loving.. :D sorry.

    I never thought you would care as you're far, far above me morally.

    Bes, you've got some issues man. I used to like you, but now you're a pretty average poster.
