I am ready to let this topic go.
Sensible.

At this point, all of you are just kicking the half rotted corpse of a well well well dead horse. I would imagine by now, you’ve all restated your extreme, uncompromising stories about how one side is justified in doing atrocious things, are virtuous and the good guys in the story and the others are demonic evil monsters, irredeemable and solely…[Read more]

Pope, you definitely touched on a genuine aspect of why ghosting is so easy. For some people it does require flexing unflexed muscles. In my work, we have to use extreme care with everyword and put significant thought into how we phrase things. This is the opposite of typical locker room talk, where in my icehockey changeroom every ginger is…[Read more]

Thanks for all your replies. I would say that you don’t have to be specific when letting someone down. In your trans case, just tell the person you’re sorry for wasting their time, you aren’t feeling it and wish them the best.
To give you an idea of how prevalent ghosti g is in Scotland, I had chatted with a lad for 5 weeks, almost daily.…[Read more]

When I lived in Spain, I was ghosted by about 10% of guys, though rarely after a longer exchange. Since I’ve been in Scotland, its more like 95%, many after a long chat. It has become so common, I rarely chat with locals as I simply have little faith we will ever meet or that the conversation will go anywhere. I personally find ghosting…[Read more]

Wikipedia has a fabulous article on common misconceptions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions
I read the whole article from beginning to end during a lunch hour. I wish so much there was more. A few I already knew, a few were a little surprising, others were even a little shocking.
I was most surprised about some…[Read more]

that Islam as written (and practiced) can coexist within the framework of a liberal democracy.
No Abrahamic religions as written can coexist with liberal democracy. I cannot understand this obsession with singling out Islam. Christianity, Judaism and Islam, as written in their books, are ALL entirely incompatible with liberal democracy.
Liberal…[Read more]

Yeah that is a colossal bummer about Hirsi. Having said that, she had slowly been becoming a liability to the reputation of atheists. Even for fairly innocuous non-controversial seeming things, she was saying very unhinged shit. Best comment I had read so far was that, going Christian would help bring her more money and more attention to her…[Read more]

I propose POD for Muslims.
Just when I thought I could get away from the vile bigotry of the last thread, its ugliness resurfaces. Not sure I want to be part of this forum anymore if every thread is going to be a discussion thread spreading and cheerleading bigotry.

All of these hate driven obscene overgeneralisations, demonising nearly a billion people…that’s not bigotry. How dare you label over the top blanket vile stereotypes as bigotry. I don’t take kindly to other people’s bigotry being called out.
Too bad. For all the talk about moral superiority, the more “civilised” part of the world…sure is a…[Read more]

Yes, Malaysia is not ideal. Nor is it a death cult. All the things you talked about happen in non- Muslim countries. They do FGM in Christian countries in Africa. Should we bomb to smithereens the Christians in Nigeria too? Homosexuality is illegal in Christian, Bhuddist and Hindu countries. Should we label them all a death cult as well and…[Read more]

Jake has a point that anti-Semitism was utterly rife at the time in Europe. But Jake, Autumn said “fulled by”, not “emerged from”. All of Europe saw strong anti-Semitism. It came to its ugliest via Nazi Germany. Full scale insanity was, in part, fuelled by Germany being put under the same kind of pressures that Palestine is. That doesn’t justify…[Read more]

Maybe the Wokester Progressive types would be less sympathetic to Hamas if it were revealed that the Hamas underground tunnels had miniature halal chicken ranches…vhere zee animals are to be BRED UND SLAUGHTERED!!!
Nope. Nice try Enco. Another one of your standard strawmen. No one here is sympathetic to Hamas. No one condones what they have don…[Read more]

Nothing in your reply signals anything other than justification for a dehumanising view of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. Yes, anti-semitism is rife, timeless and a serious problem. Totally agree with you. Disappointed by your own bigotry Jake.

You know Canadians would be aghast and support the apprehension and elimination of such a hypothetical group.
A couple decades change people very fast. Russians are very sympathetic to the barbaric behaviour of Russian troops. Being a mostly white western people doesn’t make them inherently “civilised”. We could easily transpose ourselves to…[Read more]

Judged through the lens of history and in relation to other wars yes.
No. The only way you can arrive at the unjustifiable is through dehumanising others. Admit it.

Nah Jake. You’re just parroting dehumanising drivel. Canada would act differently [because they are more civilised white people]. Palestinians are collectively responsible (including babies) for Hamas. War is hell. Of course it is. That is no excuse for reprehensible behaviour anymore than say, the fact that you are operating in the business world…[Read more]

Robert,
Your stance on Palestine is so extreme, so brazenly Islamophobic, so utterly dehumanising and cold blooded it is disturbing. You simply cannot cast mass blame on an entire people and justify the excessive rampage by Israeli forces, regardless of the circumstances. You don’t mind them being crushed like little ants because they are…[Read more]

Robert, your casual inhumanity towards civilians is really sickening. If it was wrong for militants to indiscriminately attack Israeli civilians, it is wrong for Israel to murder over a thousand civilians in anything but precision attacks against militants. It was wrong to firebomb Germans in Dresden, it was wrong to nuke Japan twice and it was…[Read more]

I haven’t watched the video (sorry it is way too long). I simply don’t see any massacre of civilians as being justifiably provoked. There is always the option of military targets.
If you start justifying murdering civilians per being provoked, you could justify the Israeli army’s current daily murdering of totally innocent bystanders in their…[Read more]
