I think the key problem here is that GDW is a bad communicator. He is often complaining that he is not understood, that is his problem. If you cannot communicate, GDW, then perhaps you should work on that.
Is there a point to this thread? |

My professional interest aside, I think that by far the most important aspect of the story is whether a society should be imposing criminal sanctions on anyone (let alone a minor) for, let's be honest, offending people.

She was arrested for ticking of people who are in a pretty constant state of being ticked off?
First off I doubt the Koran is that important since Muslims blow up other Muslims who may have one on them and also attack and destroy mosques from other sects that certainly have Korans in them. |

I log on expecting at least a little bit of heated discussion, criticism and pointless semantic debate and misinterpreting. I'm not blaming anyone here, nor playing the victim. It's the nature of the medium, or rather, it's the nature of people when they use the medium. And yes, I am often quite inept at expressing my point. That being said, this thread may bare my namesake, it is certainly not about me. Let's get back on topic.

I've no idea what anyone is thinking.
From what I understand some idiotic teenager burned a Koran and put it on facebook. This indicates she is among a huge population of idiots who put everything and anything on line. The burning of the Koran must have upset (what a shock) someone who then complained so they arrested this girl. All this in a country that allows rally's by Koran readers who are crying out for the death of non Koran readers. Is that correct so far? As to what peoples comments are I have no idea since to many don't even comment one way or the other, they just comment. My opinion is I don't care and that people don't need to put all their crap on the net. |

My comment, at least, was referring to Josh's comment, as well as yours, referring to me.
