X being = Placing a display in accordance with an American Tradition for over a decade of years, becoming a traditional spot for a local town.
An American Tradition? Some town puts up a nativity and it becomes an American Tradition? What a crock. And how is “tradition” relevant?
And you then mean protest isn't an american tradition then? Or is it because they are atheist protesters that you don’t recognize that their protest is valuable?
I think tradition is often dumb, ill thought out, mindless, boring, and otherwise something not to intentionally seek out. By extension I’m then a dick because I like to mix things up? Your position is absurd from every angle Zyph, stop defending it.
Y being = Purposefully attempting to get the spot that the other group used for X specifically to remove them and to further your political message, and to replace that display with a political message that doubly pokes at those it disposed of.
Right right. Because purpose X didn't poke at those atheists for years from their perspective. I get it now. It’s tradition to bash atheists, that’s why it’s ok, right? A GREAT ****ing American Tradition right? Presidents do it, world leaders do it, the MAJORITY does it….hooray tradition.
CHRIST on CHRISTmas" would be dicks.
Speaking of christmas, wasn't it a dick move for christianity to commandeer the pagan winter solstice celebration and stick christmas on the title? Absurdity to be sure.
So someone putting up a display, stating to support the troops and wishing them luck in the wars abroad, in town on veterans day for over a decade at the same spot is neutral, an anti-war group going out of their way specifically to take that spot to then put up a banner stating "Embrace Peace, Reject Killers, No More War!" are being dicks.
Sure Zyph, your comparison of putting a sign up that reads “ Reject Killers”, specifically implying the servicemen are both killers and should be rejected, the first not being necessarily true, and the second being a personal attack, is reasonably the same as: “Celebrate our constitutional right of seperation of church and state”
You can’t even be outraged reasonably.
Tommy hasn't been doing it for such a long time that it becomes tradition.
Here we go again with that tradition. I’d argue the opposite. Tommy was being a dick by hogging the PC and passively forming what amounts to a defacto CLAIM on something that IS NOT HIS. Get it?
Buy some god damn land and put up the god damn nativity. Who cares. Just don’t get bent when someone takes their legal, appropriate, turn in the public square.
Seriously, you're analogy does nothing and proves nothing but the fact you didn't even bother to actually read the thread.
You keep replying to posts in this thread by claiming people didn’t read your post, or the thread, what are you doing? It’s a weak debate tactic, and it’s not true.
