Further Things That Are Wrong (Part 1)

@maroonandwhite

All opinions merit discussion and should be challenged, if its a ludicrous one it can be easily dismantled. Blocking speech you don’t like is heading towards burn the books territory, and is cowardice

Some people have extremely naive opinions like this, as I demonstrated very easily

You are not a normal person. Seek help.

@Sidney

@glenshane is an informer, a tout

From the lad scurrying back and forward between tfk, twitter and politics.ie- not to mention threatening to carry stories to employers.

That’s no way to debate.

Trying to shut down free speech.

Snowflake.

I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed em what I’ve got

[Sidney]

Unlike yourself, I don’t really follow politics.ie, pal, and haven’t done for years.

I did remember your user name, however, which came in handy.

[glasagusban]

No I don’t think so. Some opinions are completely wrong, off the wall, dangerous even. To engage with them as if they had some sort of validity is to give them oxygen.

[glenshane]

Explaining =…

[iron_mike]

I’ve been undressed by kings and I’ve seen some things that a woman ain’t s’pose to see.

Who are you to decide what opinions are wrong? You’re a harmless old simpleton, with no opinions as far as I can see. Your opinion extends to “you’re wrong”, hardly groundbreaking.

[maroonandwhite]

But where do you draw the line? Grand if someone whos a reasonable debater thinks so, but that can just as easily be used by someone to shut down an argument they just don’t agree with or can’t adequately debate. But sure we’ll agree to disagree.

There’s an excellent discussion at the start of bill mahers show on sky Atlantic this week on this, with an Egyptian author, on how the left seems to want a monologue not dialogue, worth checking out

[blackjack]

He would if he could but he can’t in other words.

[glasagusban]

How about where sid called you a paedo above? Do we all have to sit down and have a respectful debate on his “opinion”?

Spit it out Mike

[glasagusban]

You made statements and I told you they were wrong. Stop bleating on about it, I gave your posts as much respect as they deserved.

[maroonandwhite]

No, it doesn’t have to accepted as truth by anyone, doesn’t have to be shouted down though. but that does also reveal way more about him than it does about me, the great value of free speech.

[farmerinthecity]

Do you believe that the opinion in the post by @blackjack was so outlandish that it doesn’t deserve any discussion?

[glasagusban]

Yes.

[Corksfinedtboy]

Heartbreak stuff- any parents nightmare our country needs to help not talk

Oh yeah, you can’t underestimate how off the wall and dangerous it is to suggest people should take personal responsibility for their choices
