@RichardDawkins Some people have no skills of discernment. You are NOT comparing the two, pointing out age does not insulate all actions.

.@oldgrower Exactly right, thank you. The two are comparable in NO other respect than that they are both young.

@RichardDawkins @oldgrower What's the point of the statement if you're not making a comparison?

@yodat_nioj @oldgrower Oh for heaven't sake, can't you read? Their young AGES are being compared, nothing else.

@RichardDawkins @oldgrower I can read, and I'm wondering what the purpose of comparing their ages is. That's all.

@yodat_nioj OK, I'll spell it out. People are defending Clock Hoax Boy by saying "He's only a kid." My point is kids can do the indefensible

@RichardDawkins and what in your opinion has he done wrong? Do you truly think he planned all of the clock thing to later sue?

@RichardDawkins Why do you hate Mulims Mr. Dawkins? For some who upholds reason above all, I find your tweets disturbing.

@boringfileclerk I don't hate Muslims. I hate people who behead, stone, lash, and throw people off high buildings. Most Muslims don't.

@RichardDawkins That's all well and good, but you seem to have special animosity against this young boy who invented a clock.

@RichardDawkins - am I missing your point? because there's no comparison between deception and murder. Disappointed.

@DancinJuicyLane Yes, you are exactly missing the point. The point is simply that being a "kid" doesn't protect you from criticism.

@RichardDawkins @DancinJuicyLane I get it but its far to extreme to be taken seriously. I don't compare stealing a candy bar to bank robbing

@ScottMalone17 @DancinJuicyLane Agreed. Which is why I was NOT comparing the clock hoax to cutting someone's head off.

@RichardDawkins @ScottMalone17 @DancinJuicyLane are you really so naive as to think it wouldn't be read that way. No, I didn't think so.

@ProfMike_M @RichardDawkins @DancinJuicyLane right? Sounds like an excuse after seeing people's reactions
