Out of curiosity, what actual(valid?) argument did I actually produce?
The fact that you are somehow extracting an opinion from my statement is fascinating. No where have I stated my beliefs, no where have I implied my beliefs. Your statement is a simple display of black and white thinking: "If you criticize my comment, you disagree with everything I believe". The fact that "people like me" exist in the context of this commentary is probably a good thing.
Let me reiterate: My opinions were never stated anywhere in this entire thread. I criticized your train of thought and your straw man argument. Nothing more.
- Semiapies 12y agoSeriously? When you responded with "I've never seen a plausible argument supporting what Snowden did that boiled down to more than [my morality is more important than your laws]", you were trying to mock my complaint. However, while I was complaining about a lack of argument, you were complaining about an actual, very valid argument that I endorsed. Or to put it another way, snarking about people who think morality is more important than law is kinda hilarious when we're talking about a monument to the Revolutionary War. Or much of American history, for that matter.
- cdbajorin 12y ago> you were complaining about an actual, very valid argument that I endorsed Here's a list of people that were morally justified in breaking the law: Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Eric Rudolph, Mohamed Atta Some you may agree with, hopefully some you don't. But it's YOUR morality, so I'm sure it's OK.
- Semiapies 12y agoNot just my morality, as stated above. But you're clearly not following the discussion, so I'll leave you be.
