It's a pity they weren't as angry about the many attacks on women in Europe by certain males. No protests about that!





Women, hang your heads in shame

Not without proof? You just called The Truth a bigot about an hour ago, you have no proof of this.. Apply your rules to yourself or carry on with hypocrisy.

A woman wins the popular vote & a pro-female march is more popular than Trump's inauguration, the USA is not totally destroyed

I most certainly did not call the Truth a bigot - what are you harping on about. You must have read something wrong. What post, where?

You are just dying to jump on my posts and in your desperation got the wrong end of the stick. Come on proof please?

Or maybe the men should hang their heads in shame for attacking the women?

It's all a less intelligent way of shutting down opposing views/arguments.

You certainly did call him a bigot and unintelligent
On a post where he called a group of people bigots due to his own opinion, for whatever reason, you quoted him and said anybody who calls people bigots is a bigot and unintelligent.

Ban worthy in my opinion

I knew it and I know you.

I believe I posted that after a post of the Truths. I did not quote him as it was not directed at him. I thought from what I said it would be pretty obvious to who it was aimed at, although I decided not to directly quote him. You of course saw what you wanted to see.

Too eager to jump the gun without being sure of your facts - could be seen as harassment - ban worthy I think.

look throught the thread.. You quoted him on a post he called a group of people bigots, and you said that anybody who calls someone a bigot is a bigot.

There is no need for personal attacks.

I just have and yes I did quote him but it was NOT directed at him. I was using his post to respond to a previous post without directly quoting it. Shoot me.

You did see what you wanted to see to try and get me banned. That maybe your style - it isn't mine.

Btw - you are personally attacking me with allegations you cannot prove as they are untrue. Usual nonsence from you.

Im not trying to get you banned, didnt even report the post.

But you have confused me. You wanted to call a left wing member a bigot because they called other people bigots and everybody who calls people bigots are bigots, but you did so by quoting a right wing member, who also called people bigots.. But this member isnt a bigot despite following your weird 'bigot criteria' of - everybody who calls people bigots are bigots - i think its your bed time.
Either be true to your beliefs, and treat right wing and left wing people the same, or stop attacking other members completely.

[ChristmasNeeve]

Can we stop getting personal please and stick to the topic

That makes zero sense.

If someone calls you a bigot and you aren't then it's down to you to argue your corner, if anyone accused me of bigotry then I'd laugh them off the planet because it's a ridiculous suggestion. I assume the only people who feel that it 'shuts them down' are people who are actually bigoted and can't argue against it.

No matter how much you try, you aren't going to turn 'bigot' 'racist' or any words of it's ilk into dirty words.

It isn't down to anyone to argue their corner against those throwing around such allegations. Some choose to in response to the arrogance of those who think they have the right to make such judgements on people according to who they voted for in a public vote

To call people bigots based on that is bigoted. It is also easy for people who cannot justify their thinking with anything other than the use of a simple, insulting word.

.

Apart from you said in this thread that this doesnt apply to the person that called those who voted "killary" bigots and feminazis.

So actually your hypocrisy on the thread has lost you another round of debates.

Stop putting words in my mouth. I am not interested in that post and have made no comment on it.

I am not interested in another pointless session with you. So toddle along and play your games with someone else.

I can comment on any post I like, this one for instance is childish.

Its up to each person to reply to, or ignore mine. Looks like you chose the former.

Of course it is, if someone accused me of any of the 'isms' I'd argue the **** out of them. If you aren't willing to defend your point of view then that's your problem, SD isn't the best section to be posting in if that's the case.

Your second paragraph is basically a repeat of what you said before and it doesn't make that point any less ridiculous. It is basically the equivalent of saying 'I know you are but what am I?'

Calling someone a bigot isn't an act of bigotry in itself, it's just a very transparent attempt to demonise a word to protect people from dealing with the fact that all opinions come with consequences. It's basically what I've said before in other SD topics, that most people only want freedom of speech as long as it benefits THEM and not anyone else of a differing opinion.

If someone is displaying racist views or attitudes then it's well within another person's right to call them out on it because THEY have a right to their opinion too.

Freedom of Speech is not a one way street, Wombai.

Ah, trying to make out that I'm baiting you because you don't have a counter argument to what I'm saying. It's a rather tired tactic.

Don't bother then. I couldn't give a toss whether you think I have a counter argument or not. As far as I'm concerned there was little to have a counter argument to.

Weren't you just complaining that people use the word 'bigot' to shut down arguments? You are literally trying to shut down this discussion by making out that I was baiting you....
