I can say with 100% certainty that you will not change his opinions no matter what you write, nor will he change yours. And that's fine. People are entitled to their opinions no matter how offensive they are to others. At the end of the day, he's not doing anything that stops you from believing what you do, so don't worry about it.

And no, any comparisons to Hitler are almost never serious. They are the end all of internet hyperbole. And if he really did believe that, is there anything you could say to make him think otherwise? You're better off just rolling your eyes and thinking him an a-hole. Maybe a simple screw you and leave it at that.

The whole thing reminds me of the Danish publishing the Mohammed Terrorist cartoons, then muslims in the ME and pakistan rioting and burning flags and whatever. IDK, did either accomplish anything? Better off just flipping a finger and going back to your otherwise happy lives.

Anywho...

I think you're right. Well, about everything except the comparison to the Danish cartoon. It's not like I'm going to stab linc in the chest with a steak knife while he rides his bike down the street.

Everything else I think is well said though. I should have been much more contained and probably just ignored the whole thing. I'm still thinking about that.

WOW!!!! I was wondering why a thread that was based on a "holiday" is still going 3 days later so I had to read the whole thing! I'm glad Linc finally defended himself, cause otherwise I would have! This is America and we have freedom of speech! Unless you direct a vulgar comment at a specific person there's really not much that can be done against you. Linc did not call out any specific person, therefor he's fine. Yes certain words should be avoided.

ABOVE ALL ELSE remember who made the comment! It's Linc....he jokes about everything and every group of people. Should Saturday Night Live have a civil suit against them for discriminating against blind people when they had a skit about NY's new governor? SNL will make fun of anyone and everyone!

I have my opinions on different people and if anyone wants to PM me I'll tell you exactly what I think. In general though.....First impressions are huge. If I feel that someone is a scumbag, they prolly are, if they aren't they have to prove to me that they aren't. Do I approach people of different race/religion/creed/ or whatever differently? YES There are def stereotypes out there and I guess I'm a bit of a follower.

If I see someone wearing a towel on their head, talking in a language I can't understand, and getting into a rental van I'm gonna wonder what that person is doing and I'm gonna think in the back of my head that he's a terrorist! If I was to meet that same person at their slightly above average house, with a family in their living room and a couple of luxury cars in the driveway I'm gonna feel differently! Now I'm gonna think that maybe he's a doctor. Am I wrong for thinking this? I don't think so! Sorry if I offend anyone but thais is the world we live in!

Everyone is entitled to their beleifs! If Linc wants to express his belief against the pope let him! I'm Catholic, doesn't bother me!

I really hope that Sower calling Linc out on this isn't going to supress Linc's humor that we have all grown to love!

Sorry for the long post! If anyone feels I'm wrong for saying this let me know. If I offended someone.....deal with! This is my opinion on the matter and nothing more. If a Moderator feels this post is un-warranted delete it, better yet, maybe the whole thread should be deleted! MLK day is over with, St Patty's day is right around the corner though! LOL
