I would use the word may for paedophiles. They are still human, and have some level of self control (some of them at least).

I agree with it being illegal for them to work with children, obviously.

I didn’t change the analogy, just explained it to you. And if I didn’t want people to challenge me, I wouldn’t be participating in this discussion.

And to be clear, I don’t think that fasting significantly affects your ability to operate a crane. But I might be wrong on this, I just don’t think that special exceptions to any law or regulation should be made for a religious practice. Especially ones that may endanger people’s lives.

No, that doesn’t make any sense. Not all paedophiles are teachers, just as not all muslims are crane operators. The example applies to cases in which they are in those situations. That is the point of the analogy.

But I think you know this, you just want to disagree with me.

I should probably point out there is a difference between a troll and a bully, they have different motives, and require different actions to be taken.

From personal experience the best way to deal with a (online) bully is to completely ignore them. I don’t block them, I just act as if they never sent me any messages. The blocking itself can be…[Read more]

Because people don’t ignore it, they respond.

I’m not really sure why are acting like I don’t know what bullying is.

Online bullying is easily ignored. In cases where the abuse is only online, they will lose interest very fast when they don’t get the response that they were expecting.

It is not even as if there is another solution to online bullying. If you think you have one then I would…[Read more]

In what what are the examples dissimilar?

The question is if it is dangerous or not, not if it is legal.

I am not comparing Islam to paedophilia, I just chose paedophilia as an example because it’s something I believed you would find to be wrong.

This is what I said in my summary of the link you posted, yes.

Again, the law isn’t really…[Read more]

The logic in both cases is identical, the person believes themselves to be safe in a situation. Most other people think that it is not safe for them to be in that situation. If you look at the replies to this thread, you will see that a large majority of respondents agree that operating a crane while dehydrated or otherwise impared is not safe.

It’s okay for black people to sit at the back of the bus if the laws says they have to though?

Just because it’s the law, doesn’t mean it’s right. People should not be allowed special treatment because of their religion. Although I don’t think what you linked to supports what you were trying to say.

I will summerise the guide as I read it:

Endangering people’s lives isn’t random.

I’m sure that a paedophile who works in a primary school would say they are doing their job properly too. They could argue that being attracted to children for years and years doesn’t impact negatively on anone else’s lives.

But that doesn’t mean they should be doing that job. They are blind to the danger they pose to other people. The same is…[Read more]

It’s not the 15th century anymore, we don’t need blasphemy laws.

Your god doesn’t exist. If that offends you then that isn’t racist, just a problem with you.
