"Ooh, let's call them 'terrorists'--big, bad 'terrorists'--so we can forget about all their fun aspects!"

Award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates came under intense fire from social media users on Sunday after tweeting that she has only heard “puritanical & punitive†things about the Islamic State and wonders whether there is anything “celebratory & joyous†about the terrorist group.
"All we hear of ISIS is puritanical & punitive; is there nothing celebratory & joyous? Or is query naive?"

I understand raping little Kurdish girls puts them in a lighthearted and frolicsome frame of mind.
Don’t you mean raping little Kurdish boys puts them in a lighthearted and frolicsome frame of mind. A muslim and his goat. It is a beautiful thing.
Query is naive.
You are a Naive American.
Over in the UK some labour politician said Mao wasn’t all that bad. Seems like libs are willing to admire violence and bloodshed when they like the ones doing that.
You tell us, Joyce, we're all ears.

LORD POLONIUS
...What do you read, my lord?
HAMLET
Words, words, words.
LORD POLONIUS
What is the matter, my lord?
HAMLET
Between who?
LORD POLONIUS
I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
HAMLET
Slanders, sir: for the satirical rogue says here
that old men have grey beards, that their faces are
wrinkled, their eyes purging thick amber and
plum-tree gum and that they have a plentiful lack of
wit, together with most weak hams: all which, sir,
though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet
I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down, for
yourself, sir, should be old as I am, if like a crab
you could go backward.

Such for all the words she’s written. “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
I detest sooooo many academics.
Hard to live that one down.
Take heart. Nature has a way of self cleaning the gene pool. Granted it ain’t on our timetable, but rest assured these types always wipe themselves out, Or get wiped out. Problem is, humans always seem to readily devolve every few decades.
Ersatz boxing writer Oakes has taken too many punches.
What Would Laz Do?
ISIS is celebratory and joyous when they defeat us or our allies. Ergo, we don’t want them to be celebratory and joyous — ever!
Unfortunately they have had many excuses lately to put on their party hats.
That people are so blind amazes me sometimes. There is nothing good about Islam unless you are a man and even better if you have a little power even better.
Even then it’s not good because you have to be such a dispicable tyrant to everyone who lives with you.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the Nazi Schutzstaffel and especially the notorious Waffen S.S.
(Sorry, I don't know which font to invoke to display those nifty lightning bolt S's.)
I mean, sure they helped execute "Der Fuehrer's" atrocities re. the extermination of the Jews and other "sub-humans" - but all I ever hear is puritanical and punitive.
Surely these Nazi scum had their celebratory and joyous side, too - n'est-ce pas?
Regards,
She’s right!
Isis Celebrates every time they capture and crucify (or burn alive) a Christian!
happiness prevails in Isis=land!
Dear Joyce whoever you are.
Yes ISIS will stone you with their joy and celebrate by slitting your throat into a big smile. And then dance with their goats.
