Quote: Wooooah, Mikah, woah. You aren't implying that women shouldn't have been allowed to vote, are you?
I hope that's not what you're implying. I mean, I assume that's not what you're implying, because I think you are smart enough to know better.
I'm implying there probably shouldn't be a vote at all. |

Yet the forum has specific rules against denouncing the beliefs of certain groups. |

I've never been particularly fussed about the ad hominem attacks, it's just what many people do when their worldview is threatened. It's the easiest thing just to not take them seriously anymore. I'm much more concerned about overzealous moderation than underzealous moderation. A common thing is to ... |

And America is the spiritual successor of the Soviet Union? Really? How so? Weakening of marriage, the two parent family and particular hostility to parental authority. Massive state education program designed to socially engineer, not educate. Atheism fashionable, open hostility to the Christian f... |

Don't use the phrase "wrong side of history" it's silly propaganda overused during the cold war and look how that ended for both sides. The Soviet Union is dismantled, a strong anti-Marxist state is rising from its ashes and America has become the spiritual successor to that same empire an... |

How would mass deportation have prevented the shooting at the Pulse? :? The shooter was a born US citizen. Not quite the link I was making, although if America had kept its original immigration policy, he wouldn't have been born a US citizen at all. I'm suggesting this Islamic terrorist spree is go... |

As if blacks were doing so swimmingly well prior to the so called welfare state. (Uncle?) Thomas Sowell would say they were, in many ways. The welfare state is a good example of something the left got wrong, I'd add to that list Marriage - they have utterly undermined it, to the detriment of millio... |

Just wait it out,read the news and influence things where you can, things are unraveling rather quickly for our liberal overlords. This state of affairs is increasingly looking like the Weimar Republic. I'm not saying Hitler 2.0 is coming, I'm just saying lefties will be surprised how quickly the pe... |

Quote: This is not the first time I thought Britain was extremely smart for NOT joining the EU.
We did, unfortunately. We managed to avoid the Euro currency and the Schengen Agreement, but not the rest of the federalised EU project. |

Aren't certain verses from the Bible and Quran considered hate speech over there? I don't know about that, I have heard some atheists saying they contain hate speech, but I think they have ulterior motives in this instance, rather than making a point about free speech. There was however, a would-be... |

This is going to be a sketchy thread. Try not to bomb the discussion with unthinking outrage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji3KVWbiLlY Warning for those sensitive to racist opinions, this video contains clips of Muhammed Ali being Muhammed Ali. Long and short of the video is it's time to grow up ... |

You're inciting negative feelings You've just proved my point with your post, while supposed to prevent pogroms, hate speech is so vague a notion it can be used to outlaw almost all criticism, especially criticism of politicians who are creating real threats to the integrity, stability and peace of... |

Hate speech laws in the UK have been around since 1986 Those who campaigned against it have turned out to be absolutely correct on how it would be used. People are being visited by the thought police for complaining on twitter about their towns being swamped by migrants, there have been coordinated... |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhCRbZ0cOnM The EU starts its campaign to end democracy and freedom of thought and speech. As if one's opinion of the Left couldn't get any lower, they are surprising silent when threats to liberty come from their own side. War is coming. This new liberal utopia obse... |
