Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
(1809-1865)
After all the heated debate about homosexuality in the past few days, I wake up to read this quotation of the day on my blog. I guess Abraham Lincoln said it all. I have no comment.

Our problem is …. oversimplification … Abe was talking about slavery by the way! And I might disagree with him on how Generic that statement could be, I would argue that Judges incarcerate people everyday. Yet they still deserve freedom when they denied it to others!

There is different kinds of slavery. There are slavery of thoughts whih we like to practice in this part of the world.Judges don’t incarcerate people, they preserve others freedom when someone surpasses his and violates others.

Still, someone is taking freedom from someone else. “Why”.. wasn’t mentioned in the quote.All I have to do is bring ONE example where it wouldn’t be true, but you have to prove that it is ALWAYS true 🙂it’s fun (and easy) to play the skeptic 🙂

“كل الاشياء تحل لي لكن ليس كل الاشياء توافق”يعني كمثال بالعربي الفصيح: انا كمسيحية عندي حرية اكل لحم خنزير ومتى ما بدي بقدر اكل، بس بطلع مع رفقاتي واصحابي وطبعاً اسلام وانا بعرف انو الخنزير محرم عندهم، طبعاً انا راح اعرف اذا اكلت لحم الخنزير ادامهم راح اعثرهم ، حتى لو انا محلل عندي لحم الخنزير ، طبعاً ما راح اكل عشان انا عارفة انو اذا اكلت راح يعثر صحابي ونفس الوقت راح يخليهم ياخدو موقف وفكرة مش صحيحة عن الحياة المسيحية او عني كوداد!!got the pointعندي حرية مطلقة بس نفس الوقت اذا كانت هاي الحرية بتعثر وبتسقط صحابي او غيري من الناس كتير صعب انو اسوقها او اقنع الناس فيها!

Wedz, if you are referring to homosexuality in making this point. I say that homosexuality is not contageous. If someone is homosexual, it doesn’t a hetreosexual one any tempted to try it. The other way around is valid as well.
