Black Dog

The stupidity which you say...is causing Muslim extremism, right?

Think of it like climate change: even if all carbon emissions stopped tomorrow, we'd probably still be looking at an increase in global temperatures because of all the carbon that's already been released. So even if the west stopped doing whatever you think they are doing to turn ordinary well adjusted Muslims into violent fanatics, there's still a current violent fanatic problem that no policy pivot can solve. And that's all without even considering the fact that, regardless of the scenario, the actual physical threat is violent Muslim extremists.

Neither and both. I'm unaware of any fetuses precocious enough to attend college or high school.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of college or high school students.

Accepting it or not has no bearing on world events.

I can't tell if this is bad timing or GREAT timing: link

Not really. If one "accept(s) that a lot of Islamic extremist's roots are firmly planted in western, mostly right-wing policies, attitudes and of course outright pig-headed stupidity towards Islamic countries" that doesn't make the threat any less. There's no getting the toothpaste back into the tube now.

The threat, in this case, remains the threat of Islamic extremism. All your quibbling with is the motivation.

I learned about Auschwitz and the Holocaust by being a living human being in the post war era. Seriously, how does one not hear of this? How many movies and TV shows and books and what not have been (and continue to be) made on the subject?

About a Conservative policy which many conservative supporters on this board have applauded, yes. And has been pointed out before (by you even) the general public is pretty dumb.

So wait: are you reading a different MLW than me? Well, if the number of women this applies to is any indication, it's not a rational fear.

You mean the CPC is willing to make a giant issue out of this over two people. Oh here's another thing about public opinion polling on this: people can have an opinion on something and be completely uninformed of the facts of the issue. need some proof? Look in a mirror. this is an emotional button that the CPC is mashing to rile up people who likely never heard of a niqab or cared until Jason Kinney decided to pick a fight over it.

That wasn't what the first, barely English, sentence said. Sure there is. There are lots of physical characteristics and personal traits that can give people certain advantages over others (hell, some people arguing against white privilege also suggest that men are disadvantaged by their gender), why would race be any different? Want examples? How about this one: as a white guy, I'm far less likely to be stopped by the cops for doing nothing than a black guy. Yes, which you responded to not by making a reasoned argument, but with a bunch of nonsense about race cults.

Thank goodness Forum is considered a joke in all but media circles.

The first portion was actual gibberish ("The issue you have your religion that defines the dogma that you accept as truth..." LOL wut), the second wasn't even an attempt to refute the idea he's contesting, just a dismissal. Which, I must point out, is exactly the tactic I said he'd resort to because no one ever even tries (you included).

But only SJWs.

I would think it has more to do with political stances than who they fuck. Ah. I see you are also a person who needed "as well" at the end of #BlackLivesMatter.

And? Gay people can't be right-wingers? I don't recall saying any insults "don't count". This is hilariously incoherent. I bet you had to wipe your computer screen off after this.

This is one of those things where I go, "So why don't you actually challenge it?" and then you go "Uh...it's so dumb it's not worth my time? Yeah, that's it!" and I go "Ok bruh." So there's four pages saved.

Well, thing is, there is no "cult of the victim," so....yeah. In fairness to you, I completely missed out that one could be an ideologue and an idiot. Mea culpa.

Interesting. Question is, who decides who is a Gamergater? Your boy Milo, for example, is a raging righty as we're many of the other high profile champions of this cause. What double standard? Or it's just being stupid. Which is it for you?

To ideologues or idiots, yes. The people who needed to be reached got it. Ideologues or idiots would have been no more swayed by the clunkier version. But this is all OT anyway.

It's only ambiguous to ideologues or idiots. Which are you?

LOL. Link? From what I've seen, most GGers fancy themselves some strain of libertarian, but there's also a healthy contingent of far-right folks in there, including white nationalists (witness the widely circulated caricature of Anita Sarkeesian as Jewish merchant). You're "No True Scotsman"-ing the hell out of this. Which makes it an ipso facto gendered insult. Yes, insults directed at men are specific to the individual and not the gender. Problem here is the same as with the moronic #AllLivesMatter. It's an attempt to divert focus from a specific issue (whether police violence against blacks or the cultural barriers women face in the gaming community) to a broader one, not to present a solution or to show solidarity, but to obfuscate and distract.

Y'all way off in the ditch now. Again: what does any of this ranting about the worthlessness of the Charter have to do with the issue at hand?
