    I'd say there are better ways to kill yourself. I would expect that someone choosing to set themselves on fire would expect the means of their death to keep the act from being in vain.

    Normal yes, justified no. Do you understand the difference? If it were justified, I would be blasting those who fired the cameraman for his words.

    Two points. 1) As I stated earlier, I did not justify the actions of the Camera man. No one here has. You need to get that out of your head and you'll start making more sense. 2) Even if I had justified the actions of the camera man, Co-relation would not be the right term to describe the relationship between Menj's argument and my own.

    Oh lord. I guess it is all the same to you. Did you flip that coin yet?

    I'm with Blue Star. I like the choice of the word "parlance". First off, multiculturalism is a European thing, not an American thing, yet. We still like our "god, guns, and guts". We like our hot dogs and apple pie. American culture is not only dominant here, it is popular abroad. Secondly, I made it very clear that I was referring to immigrants who come to a country and ask the legal system to change to that of the country they just fled. BlueStar accentuated my point nicely. Was there something you didn't get about all that, or did you want to continue to straw man up the idea I was trying to ban Mexican or Indian food in America?

    I'll leave you to figure that one out.

    Good analogy. Killing someone is a crime, and I would hope they would be punished. Does that change the fact that hippies are smelly, fuck in in the parks, don't bathe, and are a general nuisance? I have absolutely no issue with bringing up those points in the very same sentence you condemn the act of murder against them, or anyone else. Now if we change the story to that of an Indian who drove by one of these white hippies and yelled,"DIRTY HIPPIE! TAKE A FUCKING BATH!" I'd have to laugh, while I said, "oh, thats just wrong".

    Have you flipped your coin yet? So hard to decide between being yelled at and being shot. Lets think about it.
