g_bambino Posted May 6, 2009 Report Posted May 6, 2009 Princess Diana had been the scapegoat of all those combating boredom through voyeurism. She probably was, but you said " scapegoat is the main function of a head of state", and the former Princess of Wales was never a head of state. Quote

Jesus was not a King either but never mind, Romans has put INRI on a cross and sacrificed him. In our modern time, real heads of state also know that they can buy time by pointing substitutes. Quote

kimmy Posted May 6, 2009 Report Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Anarchy is what a society gets for scapegoating non-heads of state. Like this, for example. What in the blue hell are you even talking about? First off, no, I don't think anybody's understanding of anarchy revolves around "scapegoating", and secondly what are you trying to argue, anyway? Maybe if you would take the time to sit down and put together a coherent essay to express yourself instead of producing these cryptic little fortune cookie messages like a drunk-ass Yoda, people would think you had something intelligent to say instead of just being some goof who stuck his head in a bong until his brain ran out of oxygen. -k Edited May 6, 2009 by kimmy Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

A catharsis is the very sudden return of order after a scapegoat had been sacrificed. Quote

benny Posted May 6, 2009 Report Posted May 6, 2009 Some posts re beyond rational response. Thomas Harris' novel Hannibal Lecter (badly made into the movie The Silence of the Lambs) ends with Hannibal Lecter (imagine here Omar Khadr) and the FBI agent Clarice Sterling (imagine here your daughter) living together as a couple.

Although I don't see how pinball and snowflakes can have anything to do with Khadr. I doubt he's had much of either for most of his life. Just cause he confounds some of you doesn't mean Benny's typing gibberish. It only means you can't understand. Quote

So, what you're saying is that Omar Khadr has created sort of a Stockholm Syndrome reaction among some people? That the left's adoration of Khadr is sort of like the sad, disturbed women who send love-letters to imprisoned serial killers? That might actually be the first sensible thing you've ever said! -k {Or are you just saying that Omar is going to start eating people when he returns to Canada? I dunno, I don't think that would be Halal.} Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

Now there is something to wish on the average Canadian girl....Whats your reaction going to be when he beats the crap out of her for showing her face in public....or supper is late.....i can't speak for all fathers but i'd finsh the job and omar would be planted out back next to the big pine....
