Just remember the freedoms of Western life gave you the education and environment to voice those opinions, something you clearly take for granted. |

Mystified why some people think you have to target or mock people you disagree with as part of a debate. A debate is a discussion of different views often decided by a vote at the end not a free for all to be rude and win at all costs.

FOX 'News'. The epitome of 'fake news' and ironically Trump's favourite! The voice of the ignorant in America.
Even FOX is starting to grow weary of Trump's inability to do his job now though. I think they're finally starting to come to terms with the fact that his days in the White House are numbered and nothing can save him. |

I haven't suggested he can't have a say, or I am better placed to comment have I? I am aware of my privileged, I am also aware of the dubious activities historically undertaken in the name of the crown that today would be considered at best an invasion and at worst genocide. I take nothing for granted thank you.

The suggestion I have a 'closed mind' due to my input in the debate is incredibly rude and mocking, did you miss that or conveniently gloss over it? Yes a debate is a discussion of different views why then are mine treated as unwarranted if they counter with the OP?

If you have an issue with my posts report them, don't tag team rude comments in relation to my views on the topic under discussion.

I wasn't tag teaming anyone. I was, like you, responding to a post. It was a valid point but if you choose to use distraction tactics so be it.

Stick to the topic fgs, if you or anyone else don't like my views or object to them not corresponding with yours let it be known I don't care.
It was not a valid point it was a rude and mocking comment stating I had a 'closed mind' The only thing I'm closing is this conversation.

A horrible event from different times. Unfortunately in history every country has events that they can feel shame over.

I thought the onus of the thread was feeling proud of where we are, how is that possible knowing where we were... just ignore our history?

Now THAT really is something to be ashamed of.
I suppose, if nothing else, his election will serve as a warning to future generations of Americans of what kind of person really should never, ever, be elected again. It's not like there wasn't already a mountain of evidence that made it extremely clear what a morally repugnant person he is. Why on Earth did anyone believe that he had suddenly become someone who cared about anyone but himself or had suddenly learned how to tell the truth and not cheat, con and steal for a living ? At least far more people are aware of his disgusting behaviour now he's had a platform upon which to display it. I just hope the damage he's done to America is repairable and that it doesn't take too long to do so. |

Then perhaps you aren't reading what I'm saying.

I would describe your view as blinkered and not wanting to acknowledge the blatant actions of some because they share your views on some issues.
