Election Year or Fear!

[QUOTE=ramAnag;40751610]As regards MA?s alleged falsehood I?m not sure the truth is out yet, AF and I have no ?leaning? as you put it.
I?d never heard of Charlie Kirk before his death and I now doubt we?d have agreed on much, but I don?t agree with murdering people one disagrees with either.

My point was that you very quickly put MA down in an over critical way. He took it well, that?s to his credit and entirely up to him.

My other point, which you?ve steered well clear of, was - and no one needs AI to check it - that your criticism of my attitude to the forum was completely wrong and factually incorrect. Debate has no value if it?s based on falsehood and I think it?s part of our current malaise that the facts, as I?ve just suggested to GP, are no longer always respected as they need to be.[/QUOTE]


I agree with the highlighted comment, its just that its blatantly obvious that you swallow up all and any "facts" as godpel when they agree with your own narrative and instantly pooh-pooh any "facts" that dont support your own belief. In that sense you dont need to see "facts" as youve already made up your mind well in advance of them.

Im sure I am guilty of this to some degree, as are we all but in your case it absolutely clouds any judgement and frustrates others to a point of madness. Now this may be a deliberate ploy, who knows - but your narrow mindedness makes it hard to take anything you say seriously. Its hugely counter productive. You've been indoctrinated to such an extent that you make the "accursed right wing press" look reasonable in comparison.

They’re not sycophantic at all. Just a bit like the old ‘like’ button and me being appreciative of the objectivity.

We all agree and disagree at times. I agreed with Swale and Sith this morning and you’ve taken the hump. Your problem not mine.

I’m not disagreeing with your opinion either. You didn’t offer an opinion. You stated that only the Rainbow and Palestinian flags were acceptable now. That isn’t an opinion, it’s just, quite simply, an untrue and provocative statement.
