...that doesn’t make sense though bots...to lay any responsibility on the dems in the way you’ve said...I mean to me..?..that like saying for instance...’I’m giving you all equal pay for an equivalent job’ etc...creating equality...and then screams of...OMG how very dare you...if this equality creates prejudice, this is going to be all your doing and on your head.....generation after generation have strived for equality..equality in race, in religion, in culture etc...how could that possibly create bigotry and prejudice like we are sometimes witnessing now...it is a regression because voices of prejudice are being validated...

I'm sorry Bots, but that is absurd. You're going to need to expand on that with examples of what on earth you're talking about.

In the same way here, MP's have never been more poorly thought of, they are just not seen as representatives of the people any more. All people see is people playing politics for their own gain ... and it's a recipe for disaster. When the next election comes, hold on to your hat, because it's going to be a very bumpy ride |

the moment someone gets called a bigot, that's it, the argument is lost. There will never be an opportunity to win that person round by reasoned argument. All it is doing is re-enforcing a divide. It is a term that gets thrown around much to easily
Calling someone a bigot is just a demonstration of the persons own intolerance Last edited by bitontheslide; 07-08-2019 at 10:07 AM. |

You assume a good will on the part of bigots. That's not my experience sadly. They just want to destroy any progress we've made since the war. And if you support progress you're called virtue signalling or a snowflake. Even the terms they invented are designed to mock and undermine. They want to fight, not talk.

They would never make suggestions like people from other cultras can integrate, or that singles sex couples shouldn't raise children, that lone parents can't raise children adequately, that those on welfare are a drain on society...

I'm not expecting them to like it, however there is as seen on that vid an urgent need to call out some of the inherent prejudice we exhibit now. You can't be intolerant of intolerance that makes no sense whatsoever. Instead of lazy scapegoating that had been going on for years it has to be shown that the real reason for socioeconomic economic decline comes from successive governments making bad decisions, the banks unregulated errors, pointless wars...

There's been study after study since the 90's about violence and video games and they've all proven that there's no link. It's easier to blame video games then it is to blame the people lobbying your party to kill off gun control, I guess.

It's exposing... it's showing we see through the smokescreen and refuse to accept it to corrupt another generations psyche... That's what we SHOULD be doing, how do you suggest that is achieved without addressing theit use of division and rhetoric bots? ... I'm all ears.

Gun laws that Trump repealed out of pettiness towards Obama could have saved lives here. His rhetoric inspired these shootings and his actions made it so that it was easier for these monsters to do what they did. |

If you explain to someone their views come across as bigoted then is that not reasoned? How has reasoned argument aided anyone I'm all seriousness in any challenge to the status quo in recent years? Any reasoned argument has been met with mockery and derision... They were social justice warriors, virtue signallers sat in ' ivory towers', snow flakes ... and the bigger threat of all: Experts, that 'people' are allegedly sick of! Is it not time now for a change of tactic?

I mean the gun use has been made out to be a great freedom issue
It was true when America was a frontier country, wild west etc. It's not the case now. Sadly, banning guns completely won't work though as all those nutters and survivalists would turn their compounds into fortresses and spill blood fighting the feds. But incremental removal of the most deadly types of weapons while tightening the gun laws is doable if there's a political will. Last edited by Twosugars; 07-08-2019 at 12:43 PM. |
