Silly Barend: genocide is "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group."
You don't need to kill every last one of them to be accused of genocide. Killing or dislocating, removing children to another group, etc, specifically due to race or religion or nationality, is genocide.
So if I kill two people of the same race I've technically committed genocide?
That's a bit easy.
Also, apparently this Jade Goody was racist, but likely she hadn't committed any genocide. Agreed.
No, but she managed to broadcast her manifesto (Chavifesto) on national (apparently international) television.
Witty remarks generally require wit.
I have an ample supply.
Dry humor does not translate over the internet.
gist-quote:You: You're celebrating her deathMe: Well, we're not wearing funny hats or inflating balloonsI don't know... That seemed pretty clear.
If you were trying to make a point in regards to the whole Hitler thing, you failed by obfuscation.
I did no such thing.
gist-quote:You: Celebrating a persons death makes you a jerkMe: Even a tyrants?You assumed I was making a bigger point. That's hardly my fault.
Either make your arguments clear or satirize the opposing view perfectly, because if there's even a hint of doubt as to your frivolity people will assume you're being serious.
My argument was clear. Very clear.
Some chav on some reality show that didn't broadcast here dying is not our national news. Especially in a country (Australia) that only ever tells us how many Australians died in an international plane crash or natural disaster. a point that always disgusts me.
All those people that are just numbers, because they didn't mouth off on some show designed to parade humanities most pathetic and mediocre. She is of no interest. Her death is only a tragedy to those who cared about her. To the rest of us she was just some cow famous for being common.
I apologize for resorting to ad hominem. I'll make an attempt to be less abrasive on serious topics.
This is not a serious topic. Serious topics are in the 'debate club' everything else is open for pisstakery. To resort to insulting someone over this is just sad. Especially as you ask for tact from the people you insult. Absurdity ensues.
