A Roman Catholic bishop has been stabbed to death in southern Turkey, state-run media report.


I don't think this is really the kind of topic that really allows for much actual discussing, instead of expressing feelings. Consider this more of an obituary than anything else.

I honestly thought about predicting trolls, too, but I thought that would be poor taste.

With this level of sincere care about others, you might consider applying for a job at the Russian forces in Chechnya.

So, they're thinking that this was the old "man snaps and kills his employer" business? Peculiar, I was kinda expecting them to immediately assume it was a muslim or something, they usually do.

Stop confusing the poor kid, he thinks it's cool to antagonize people simply because they believe in something.

The suspect killed the Catholic bishop because he had psychological problems?

That's a dumb reason to kill someone.

Damn, that sucks. Aren't they supposed to run like background checks on people like drivers? They might've seen something in the medical history. Sorry to hear this, though.

Not gonna warn you but it really isn't the place to expect some kind of sympathy or anything. Some of us are not mature enough to handle these things.

Case in point.

I read the title as "Catholic Bishop stabs turkey to death"
Anyway, I can't seem to use the link for whatever reason.

Ah, I didn't know of that particular rule. It makes sense, though, seeing some of the responses.

As for Mr Opeth fan, maybe this works. http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&sourc ... =&gs_rfai=

Well for starters I believe your only two years older than me. So if you think two is allot by all means call me kid. And second of all, I was trying to say how ironic it was for someone who devoted their life to god, died such a awful death. It just raises more questions for if there is a god or not. Basically I was trying to start a sophisticated conversation whether or not there is a god. Yet its replied with snide comments from Hacker and Villerar.

Note that judges in Turkey are incredibly authoritarian and rule in favour of the state (and its officials) in stead of adequately protecting individual rights (and actually also collective rights). The AKP, however, seems different from the tradition of ultra-nationalism that festers in Turkey.

Expect libel in Turkey to be based around insults to the Turkish republic, people, nation or culture.

I got the point that you were pointing out some sort of irony, hence I labelled you as a troll, because it is a rather obnoxious thing to say about somebody who is not anywhere near a controversial figure and the manner of death was not really ironic, so to invoke irony was not a particularly considerate thing anyway.

Using an example like this to start a philosophical/religious debate is not very prudent anyway, it provides no evidence for nor against whatever mainstream side. If devoting your life to God would mean that you don't die such an awful death I would suppose that the subject you intended to bring up wouldn't be much of an issue anymore anyway. What I mean is, you reason it is ironic that people die in that manner while they are devout believers, but does the opposite make sense? No, it wouldn't, so I fail to see the merits of raising that particular question.

Also, being a bit more explicit about your intentions could prevent people mistaking you for a troll, if this isn't a retcon.
