Thread: The political culture of censoriousness

Don't be governed by mediocracy, or idiocracy. Pay no attention to the toothless weasels beneath your table. Think for Yourself. It is more important to you than to me.

Your copy of 'Mein Kampf' well worn is it.

So you are for muh free markets now

Twat is a sexist term. Just another thing that would get you caught in the sensorship net if you had a book for sale or anything like that

sabang, you know all is lost when Skidmark comes to your rescue.


Let's face it, you are not Jeanne d'Arc. No-one is oppressing you . . . you have the freedom to express your opinions here as it is other people's freedom to respond and their option to differ.

You can't whine about oppression while proven there is none.

Hitler
Marx
Nun Sex
School children

You've really gone spectrum-wide

No-one is oppressing you

Absolutely. There are plenty of folk in this world that have to deal with oppression, marginalisation and worse. A straight white male is not one of them. That includes you, obviously.
Why this oppression obsession? You're nor hearing it from me.

Well, we hear very little else from you lately, to be quite honest

I think some of you I fondly nicknamed the toothless weasel pack (you know who you are) need to take a good look at yourself- for example look at the way you pick on PB/ MM. Like schoolyard bullies.
And I think you need to address points raised directly, rather than reverting to simple minded ad hominem stuff. They are quite valid. To be quite honest, I have been picking on you. That is why.

Are you ok, sabang? Serioulsy.

Yes, are you? I suppose business is a bit tough these days. No one is picking on me. But to raise the low rent springboard analogy, plenty of people read these threads who rarely if ever post here. They cannot fail to notice that you invariably evade the points raised. I would think that rather exposes the paucity of your positions, or at least the intellectual inability to back them up. I think a degree of self examination might be in order. Forget about me- respond to Jonathan Pie, Noam Chomsky, JK Rowling, John Cleese etc etc instead. There is a growing chorus out there, in case you hadn't noticed. But it would appear that you mutually cannot- although happy to be proven wrong in this regard. Respond to the post, not the poster.

Panama hat rarely ever engages in proper debate. I am unsure if he even knows what debate is. He sticks his wet finger in the air on any given thread, and childishly ad homs the minority opinion on the given topic. Like he's doing right now.

Because you aren't going along with the majority narrative opinion on this topic, he's asking if you are ok. In the hopes of shaming you into declining further argument. And he thinks this is debate.

Decently put spinner, but lets try and turn our back on this ad-hom stuff. You can see how well it works on me.
Valid points are being made, they should be addressed. That's all.

'Homs' isa verb now . . . nice. A for your other rant, you'll find the minority opinion would not be sabang's position. You? You have no position but I'm sure it makes you feel better than sabang appreciates you- bring on chico and Klondyke - woohooo

Sabang seems to trying to knock HoHo off top waffler spot.

Here is the word. Tolerance. Tolerance is a two way street.

If I preach Tolerance in a socially progressive sense, but then display Intolerance to the differing opinions, or 'errant' statements of others, to the point of wanting to cost people their livelihoods, or perhaps even life- well I am not really Tolerant at all am I? Closer to the truth to say I am a Hypocrite.

Generally people who accuse others of bigotry are either ignorant of the meaning of the term or proving themselves to be bigots.

What exactly is it that you are whinging about?

Not whinging at all, as is self evident from my post. I advocate mutual Tolerance over the current 'Political Climate of Censoriousness'.

So you're whinging about people having standards that you don't like.

You wet fart. Grow up.

This Thread has rather progressed beyond your current attempts to drag it back down into the mud. But hey, those are your words, in writing, for all the readership to see. Let them decide how Foolish they think you are being- it was certainly your right to write it though.

tolerance?

do you mean like accepting that some people just don’t want to be male/female? And prefer you. All them by their correct pronoun?

or is tolerance only a one way street?

I have already stated that I am perfectly comfortable for people to choose their own gender affiliation. I have also stated that you cannot actually change your Sex in a biological sense- that is impossible. If that is an awkward or disagreeable fact to some, I cannot really change that. But it remains a Fact, which exists seperately from one's opinion about that fact..
