A FAH-bu-lous musical number

Mockery has a fine tradition of reducing otherwise unassailable figures to size. It allows you (kj) and I to make fun of and poke at what we see as totally absurd positions or ideas. The people who show up at funerals to make a misery worse are as contemptible as anyone can imagine.

The finest form of contempt is laughter and derision, show them to be the cretins they are. You would extend a hand of Christian charity and understanding to these bigots and haters?

Maybe if Austria had stopped their kind of hatred in it's tracks history would have changed. Christian Austria and Christian Germany did not.

We should do what twentieth century Europeans didn’t do, we should hold them in contempt and, without apology, teach our children to do the same! They are purveyors of hate and unless you see hate as an equal opportunity thing, the sellers of hate need to be dealt with in as harsh and immediate manner as possible.

Room cannot be made for them in a civilized society.

I can't see that kind of approach having any positive effect, but I understand it.

If I knew someone with similar attitudes, I would help them in a time of crisis. I would use it as an opportunity to model good behavior and otherwise influence them. I would only seek to understand them if it helped produce a positive outcome of some sort. By understanding where they are coming from, I don't think you have to agree with them to any extent. I don't think you can fight hate with hate, anger with anger, etc, but at the same time, I don't see anything wrong with respectfully disagreeing, even vehemently. kj.

I meant Michael. Weird. Worse even than my "Robinson" for Robertson mistake upthread. Sorry Robert, if you come across this thread, I did not mean to accuse you of Michael's intellectual dishonesty and bad argumentation.
