General Discussion

I find it immensely amusing when people make claims and then when questioned on that refuse to address it, change the subject and then run away. The promoting violence thing is a different argument entirely, one that we could have had but you decided not to for some reason. Probably cause that is a moral one and much harder to argue when the said parties in question have precipitated violence themselves on a large scale. When your argument is that effigies in hanging is a bad thing and the people in effigies have killed over a 100, 000 people, well, that argument just looses its energy. I mean really, knowing that this is going to the extreme would effigies of hitler being hanged promote violence or would it have been just a natural reaction? You are going to have to say no it wouldn't be promoting violence so that leaves a lot of room for it being a moral question which we would actually have to have a conversation on, one which you aren't prepared to argue on behalf of the said effigies. So you are done and I agree.
