“Maybe even a point or two?”
Dude, the meaning of civilization is that not EVERYTHING has to be explained or justified. There are some things — indeed, many things — that the civilized person just “gets.” If you don’t understand what’s wrong with stoning, or any form of the death penalty, for adultery, I’m not going to lower myself to explain it to you. You’re a fanatic and a barbarian who is unworthy of discourse.
If you need to look up “discourse” in the dictionary, don’t blame me ...
Oh my sides... to be called a “fanatic” by the guy who can’t bother to propound an arguement, but rests his whole case in accusing me of being a barbarian.
Thank you, sir. This shot of irony is a true brightspot in my day. :)
