I support the protest of the olympic torch processions

The point is that attacking the torch runners (and I disagree with those that did it in Paris) is a meaningless gesture.

For a meaningless gesture, it sure is getting a lot of media attention and spurring lots of discussion on the Tibet issue.

What would you suggest the pro-Tibet crowd do in order to be meaningful?

Lingo would like Richard Gere to have a press conference instead.

I won't say why.

Just like bombing a crowded marketplace gets a lot of media attention. The ends don't always justify the means.

Hold rallies, do interviews with the media. There are plenty of ways to advance your cause that don't involve attacking innocent people.

Hmm.

So are you now saying that the attacks on the torch are not meaningless, they are just unjustified?

You remind me of the line in Princess Bride, when Inigo says, "why you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means..."

First you say that the protests are meaningless, then you switch to a Machiavellian "ends justify the means" approach. You emphasize AMERICAN, yet when I ask you to give an alternative ethnicity, you say I am nitpicking.

You are truly NOT a cunning linguist.

As for your suggestion to hold a rally, that is a great idea. The last big rally in China was held in Tiananmen Square...

They are meaningless. China doesn't give a rat's ass about what happens to torch bearers.

No I didn't. I argued AGAINST an "ends justify the means" approach. Work on your reading comprehension.

You emphasize AMERICAN, yet when I ask you to give an alternative ethnicity, you say I am nitpicking.

I may have capitalized the word "American," but I did not mean to imply it only mattered that the torch runners today were American. And I clarified that point by saying those runners in Paris (French, obviously) did not deserve to be attacked, either. I'm sorry if that was too difficult for you to understand.

You are truly NOT a cunning linguist.

But you are a clever plagiarizer. Though I suppose I should give you partial credit for a slightly new twist on the vulgar play on words.

I can't recall where I said it should be in China. Would you mind finding that for me?

China doesn't care. Yet China is shipping out their own protestors to the sites.

Again, JL is in a war, with a squirt gun.

Frankly, I am growing tired of your foul language.

You drop f-bombs and other profanities at an alarming rate.

I expect more from the son of a seminary teacher.

Also, I am a bit torn, because my fraternal love for you prompts me to report you to the BYU Idaho standards office. Someone needs to help you now before you completely go off the deep end.

Excellent, Triplet caves in by resorting to faux-mullah behavior.

It's been nice chatting with you.

Again, this could have been accomplished sans attacking innocent torch bearers.

I don't suppose you condone this type of behavior?

Faux mullah? Sorry if I am not enamored with your foul mouth. Does your dad know you speak like that? I doubt it.

It seems that you are the only faux quantity here if you talk like that during the week yet pretend to be worthy on Sundays.

I am just trying to help you. Don't shut me out.

High entertainment. Please let me know how else you plan to reclaim my black, black soul.
