I don't know but I was under the impression that this thread was about "witch burning." I don't recall any "witches" surviving a burning; even a tarring and feathering.


It would only be a very small fire. 2nd degree burns tops.

I only ask because I recently witnessed a WP online lynching and assassination the likes of which I've scarcely seen, and, like all the other times I witnessed such, it's the "tolerant" liberals who were kicking the guy's teeth in.

So, Liberals, should we bring back the act of "witch burning" (definition of "witch" open to interpretation, of course) so that you can get rid of all the people with conservative viewpoints you want, in a way commensurate with you're obviously-bloodthirsty aspriations??

Answer honestly, please.


You are an idiot, Ragtime. I put down 'yes' because I am very angry at idiocy. Although I would love to burn some idiots, I do not like the way you pose a loaded question.

It is actually interesting to note that in fact hanging, drowning, and pressing were far more common executions for witchcraft than burning at the stake. In fact, only a few witches were burned in England. Most were hung.

It is people like you, who inflict their opinions on others without remorse, that I hate. Even the aforementioned 'lynchee', if it is who I think it is, I still have some respect for his intelligence. But you have none of mine, as you are a fool, a liar, and a consummate manipulator.

It's killing me. Who are we talking about? I have a guess but damn that's not good enough for me...

Really though, Ragtime, while commenting on the *ahem* etiquette of this forum is not necessarily a bad thing, this thread just doesn't strike me as a bud about to blossom into intelligent discussion.

Your guess is a good answer. It actually doesn't matter and this thread was made with a touch of sarcasm.

Well the thread I saw Ragtime post this sentiment on was one of the gender/sexuality threads currently active and he did say it was Oscuria who was being 'lynched'.

I don't see it as anything near a lynching, but rather some people who say things like what has been mentioned here because they are frustrated.

I have not gotten the feeling these individuals were serious about killing anyone here, it's just expressions from a very emotional position which Oscuria correctly called in at least one of these threads.

This is why I tend to keep from getting emotional about the arguments here online.
I don't care for unfounded personal attacks either.

From what I see, the bait is thrown out and some people make a grab at it with every emotion they can feel.
I don't take the comments I've seen in these threads so far concerning killing people like Oscuria, seriously though. But I do think they are in poor taste and represent a poor addition to the arguments people discuss here.

But.. if Ragtime REALLY wants a lynching... :twisted: ... I think we shouldn't concentrate on the liberal vs conservative angle... there many more interesting ones out there :wink:

Now I have decided to go one better to add some much needed levity here, and more appropriate to the topic at hand.

I don't know but based on my observation I believe Ragtime , parakeet and oscuria are the ones who still live in the 'witch burning' age.

Well said, for a person living in Lebanon.

It's people like you who hate and list the violent acts you'd like to do to people that I thought of when I made this thread. And you even validated it by voting in the affirmative.

I'm honored! That's the kind of respect I love from people like you. Jesus was called a liar and manipulator-of-people as well. It was a badge of honor that the wicked hated him so. So, thank you, sir.
