Ahhh people...

There is a double standard here as some of you have pointed out.  It's ok for Southpark to insult everyone else but when a couple of groups get up in arms they go nuts and demand it censored.  They are definitely equal opportunity offenders... their satire is a particular brand of satire and they go to the extremes to entertain.  Given how long they have been on the air they are entertaining enough people to make it worthwhile.  Free speech is a multi-lane highway and differing viewpoints require respect and that respect has to extend in all directions including satire.

It would help if everyone took themselves a little less seriously.  Much of Canada has made it a past-time to make fun of ourselves... even helping to perpetuate stereotypes about the country. Lighten up...

Poe's Law at work...

Completely, deadly serious here. This is not a joking matter.

What, you want me us to ask again?

But I can't help wondering if Battuta is making a reference to this.

[General Battuta]

I just... don't know anymore.

ARE YOU AN AGENT OF THE FOURTH INVADER FORCE

How did you find me, human ??

[Dark RevenantX]

All I can say is that this thread (and this forum in general) is more entertaining than many South Park episodes.

Okay, in the upper right? See the search box. We want you to use it. You don't have to approach this thread as if Battuta's never posting anything anywhere else in the forum. It took me maybe thirty seconds to acquire irrefutable proof that Battuta's damned serious.

[Kosh]

Okay, let's make sure to keep our emotions in check so this doesn't turn into a massive flame war.  We can all have a civil discussion without resorting to personal attacks.

Personally I was just astounded to see that anyone would defend a death threat.

Given the stakes here (the continued enslavement of the human race vs. our potential to achieve Operating Thetan level as a species) I think it's clear that problematic viewpoints need to be censored, for the same reason that hate groups like Operation Clambake need to be silenced.

Let's face it. There's an enemy out there, he's very real, and he's extremely persuasive.

Does anyone remember when I said a while back that the behavior of scientology is very very similair to the way the early christian church used to behave? Well here's your evidence boys and girls.

Goober, I will not stand by and allow them to denigrate my faith.

Given how often people who have religion denigrate those of us who don't, all I can say is tough ****.

And btw, if anyone was wondering the church of scientology was convicted of fraud in a French court last year.  

I'm sorry, I don't understand how this is related to the conversation.

Its not, he's just peddling his faith.

ARE YOU A MANIFESTATION OF THE HELATROBUS IMPLANTS



this is epic

[Kosh]

Um, I dont know exactly what those are, but I'm assuming probably not. It's all superstitious nonsense as far I, the Great Universal Heathan, am concerned.

my god folks he just keeps going and going

[General Battuta]

also, it's spelled heathen

[mxlm]

Kosh, I really don't think it's appropriate to attack Battuta's faith the way you are. You're way the hell out of line, and should apologize. Now.*

*Yes, Kara, this is me telling you how to mod. Ha!

well, actually it's just me trolling, but I'm only following a mod's lead!

[SpardaSon21]

Hey, I don't mind South Park making fun of my religion.  I fondly remember that episode where the atheists managed to abolish religion and ensure peace on Earth... oh wait.

There's a galactic confederacy and no one told me about it? Dang, I knew I was missing something.

In answer to your question, no.

Kosh, I really don't think it's appropriate to attack Battuta's faith the way you are. You're way the hell out of line, and should apologize. Now.*

I'm not making fun of anyone's faith. He's calling me names that I find quite amusing. Personally I don't consider pointing out the faults and in this case criminal behavior of any organization to be an attack, more like a statement of fact.

EDIT: And this reminds of when I was in primary school I was often told I would go to hell because one day I brought a book to school for reading time that, in part, discussed human evolution. Some things evidenctly do not change.

[General Battuta]

Now I'm genuinely not sure if I'm trolling him or he's trolling me. At this point it would take an utter moron to...

...well I guess we'll see!

protip for Kosh: look at the title, mate.

Outsider perspective: since you went to such silly lengths right there, I'm just going to assume you really are a scientologist until I see a more believable statement to the contrary.

I'm sure you don't care what I think, but probably that's still more your loss than mine, so if you're trolling, maybe you'd like to refine your style a bit more...

[General Battuta]

This is fantastic.

Maybe it would've been better if I said "completely, deadly, 100 percent, 300-proof, triple-thickness, 50% off SERIOUS".

or I could have just been like

To anyone confused by this thread, whatever you do, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, do NOT find out what Poe's Law means. Seriously do not go to www.google.com and type in Poe's Law and seek an explanation. If you do you might actually see what's going on here rather than make yourself look silly. Thank you.

[mxlm]

Additionally, please refrain from using the forum's search function to check out battuta + scientology. There's nothing there that might be relevant. At all. And if there was something revelant, it'd take you hours to find it.

Incidentally, I was aware of Batman's intention from the start, but that might only be due to the intimate knowledge gleaned from our daily cybering sessions.

It's so painful when we can't have those special times, mxlm. There's a reason I call my prostate gland my Hunk of Burning Love.
