New Just trying to put things in perspective.
Knowing how much it drives people like you up the wall to see things put in perspective.

Moffitt's kid is not a hero. And neither are the terrorists. And neither are you.

Sometimes "tolerance" is just a word for not dealing with things.

New Really?
Moffitt's kid is not a hero.
A child willing to get beaten at school while a teacher looks on is not a hero?

Maybe. Depending upon how you define "hero".

She's certainly a lot braver than most of the people I've met.

Knowing how much it drives people like you up the wall to see things put in perspective.
And what perspective is that?

A child was killed by someone who couldn't stand opposing thought.

A child was beaten by someone who couldn't stand opposing thought.

"Perspective"?

The child who was beaten was beaten by US CITIZENS!

Oh, is the "perspective" you're aiming for the fact that we can treat people with different viewpoints just as badly as the terrorists did?

Or is it that you don't HAVE a point?

You start waving pictures of dead children as some kind of holy symbol against the forces of evil (liberals) hoping that they will flee in terror?

Doesn't look like that happened, does it?

So, again, I'm asking you what your point was with your post of a dead girl's picture.

Don't give me generalities like "perspective". Give me specifics.

And Mike's daughter has more guts and character than you've displayed so far.

She's willing to get beaten for her beliefs and you can't even articulate your's in a web forum.

She's being beaten. The worst you'd get is embarrased.

No wonder you don't think she's a hero.
