Or they can be twisted to fit an agenda. One which can't tolerate anything but servile acceptance of what "The Authorities" tell them to think. What facts have been twisted? They have just been looked at and a reasonable explanation suggested. By me. Not by any “authority”! They have made their own statement. You, as always, are fully entitled to your opinion. Whether it’s correct is another matter.

Who knows but it seems unlikely. Why on earth would they deliberately insult the Christian church? It was careless and disrespectful but it could also have been an attempt to ridicule the response of Islam to the Charlie Hebdo cartoon. Do you really think that would have been approved?

You do know that a ton of images of historic figures only bear a scant resemblance to the original. Often they were painted a few hundred years after the fella died. jesus, moses, Alfred the Great, Spartacus, Queen Boudicca,....nobody really knows what they looked like. Hence every image of them is incorrect. ...even a stick-figure matchstick man figure. The offence is in the attempt to represent you-know-who. Not in the accuracy of the image. i always find it curious that the people most quick to diss every other religion are the self same people who go nuts at the drop of a hat. i somehow cannot see the Dalai Lama or even Pope Francis getting violent from a few offensive words (or images). Angry maybe, but not violent. either we respect ALL religions, or none of them. It is hypocrisy to respect some while dissing others. Or worse than hypocrisy, it is an act of War. Edited by PalazioVecchio (31 Jul 2024 6.11pm) This subject was debated this evening on BBC 4’s “The Moral Maze”. I am sure you can find it on BBC Sounds. It asked whether anything should be regarded as sacred? Worth a listen.

They made a statement at variance with that of the performers. Actually they didn’t. They both made statements from their own positions. Which are different, although I somehow doubt you will accept that.

You have broken your own Olympic Record for nonsense - and the bar was so high.

And hence the closing ceremony will diss Islam ? we would need to wait a full ten minutes. Before the new French Civil War started. Edited by PalazioVecchio (01 Aug 2024 10.49am)

Edited by PalazioVecchio (01 Aug 2024 10.49am) I didn’t suggest that, nor do I think that. All I said is that it could have been a subtle parody, intended to cause thinking. Not that it was. I don’t know any better than anyone else but cannot imagine anything similar in the closing ceremony.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |
