I always wondered what you meant with this line in your signature:
"Fighting for peace is like stopping the raping of a virgin."
That's what a moral person should do, no? But you make it sound like it has something more to it (that it's useless or something)..

He means that they are both contradictions.
Fighting for peace is as much of a contradiction as stopping the rape of a virgin. Thus if you want peace, you have to do it through means other than fighting.
yes, but it doesn't make sense 
A virgin that's being raped isn't a contradiction at all

That's debatable, but his quote only makes sense if it is contradiction. You can say that by being raped, you are no longer a virgin.
wich is not an active action as fighting for peace

I think he means fighting for peace is a contradiction. It's a contradiction as much as raping a virgin.
Yes, that's the whole point Justinian. Raping a virgin is not a contradiction. Shagging to bbecome one on the other hand is.
"Fighting for peace is like stopping the raping of a virgin."
I always thought that this was a positive statement, as though it is saying "if you are the kind of person who would stop a virgin from being raped then you are also the kind of person who would fight for peace".
Indeed Fokker, but somehow, I don't think that's what Newb meant, that's why I made this topic
Yeah. The more I read it the more I realise how stupid it look,
You know what's funny? You guys are debating philosophically over a signature he probably just thought looked cool.

It's in response to someone having part of their sig (from a shirt) as:
"Fighting for peace is like having sex with a virgin"
I also saw that saying on walls in a university.
So what you quoted me on is my having a comeback to that.

BINGO!
You're quite a Fokker to be the one to figure that out! 
Yes, that was what I told in the first post, but I thought it looked so odd. That's all. It looked to me as it was some ironic thingy..

Thanks for the link!
I'll update it into my sig.
But it appears to me that you don't fully practice her philosophy.
(regarding the closed threads and possible ban incidents) 
Maybe I'm seeing incorrectly here.

its like saying "I fight for your right to be stupid"
Not quite.
More like " I fight for your right to verbally express your stupidity".
She wasn't referring to actions, just talk.
either way all three are "similar"
Which 3?
(i don't want to assume anything )
"But it appears to me that you don't fully practice her philosophy."
Au contraire, it's my duty to make certain everyone can express his stupidity with a certain ease. 5 topics on the same isn't stupidity, that's just plain annoying. As I said, I'm waiting for my colleague to address the issue, making another thread won't change the situation and will only get you blocked
"I fight for your right to be stupid"
"I fight for your right to verbally express your stupidity"
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,"

So even though I created a non"election" thread I got it stopped?
Does this mean I can no longer make ANY threads in this forum (until you eventually get word from your other mods) that aren't even remotely about the 2008 US election?

Thanks for answering me.
I disagree with your statement but it's "neither here nor there".
Agree to disagree on this?

*applause*
And people think a left-wing (read: classical) education is a bad thing... Suddenly I understand, very clearly, why you are a mod.
