THE DENMARK VESEY 'CLASS ACT' AWARD

The Gray Conservative said...
-Kill Dogs Go To Jail Kill Babies Get Federal Funds
-More Black Children Die In Abortion Clinics Than Were Lost During The TransAtlantic Slave Trade
-The Arrogant Ignorance of Secular Jihad
-If Objecting To The Destruction of A Child Before It Is Born Makes Me A "Bibtard", Well Kiss My Bibtard Ass
-Scientific Fundamentalism - Why Are They So Eager To Kill Babies?
-Simply Elegant

As I read through the comments that were made on each of these entries, I've come to the conclusion that you guys are beating a dead horse and that conversations dealing with this subject invariably fail to take the form of a conversation and quickly devolve into a full-on shouting match.

Perhaps this issue necessarily permits no rational debate to take place.

The quality and tone of comments that appear over the course of these six entries proves that this topic is irredeemably toxic. The fact of this toxicity shouldn't prevent us from speaking on it, but I find that the way in which the issue is framed and the terms by which it is bracketed does not help me think about the issue.

[secularism] toxic content [fundamentalism]

Each side has dug in their heels and are now lobbing rhetorical bombs from their respective fox holes. I'm all for a good argument, but I don't think that any sort of "resolution" is possible here given the fact that the conversation has now descended mostly to the level of digital 'oneupsmanship'.

I'm sure that this comment won't be the end of it, but consider this: What will anyone have gained in terms of increasing their understanding or grasp of the issue after the final comment is published? Will any sort of consensus have been reached, or will each party retreat to their respective corners after having declared themselves the "winner" of the conversation? Is a "consensus" or "resolution" even possible here? Will anyone have been convinced to alter their beliefs, and if so, based upon what?

Who cares?

Chickenheads and dumbasses are doomed anyway, and nobody else is being taken in by the hokum.

Meanwhile, it's an entertaining zero-sum game that Bacon-Bey Ben Israel started, and according to the Technorati Rankings, is losing very, very badly indeed....,

You coming back, or are you going to pretend (again), like you forgot the challenge?
