they wouldn't like themselves that much if they were capable of looking in the mirror, just like some people here who would actually hate you if you were a proper refugee, no surprise they also dislike assange

anyway have fun and dont go exposing any corruption ya hear

I think it's pretty good. for a non-navigator like myself, it was a smooth ride between threads. I also like the style of the forum, reminds me of soap-box orators past, no matter what the pov. it's a lot of work no doubt.. thats my pennys worth. see you in there.

Hi everyone. Proud multicultural-loving-tree-hugger-pro-gay-loony-lefty here.

had a quick look around the forum, and found its pretty tolerant of some of the most breathtakingly outrageously ignorant and racist opinions, so I'm looking forward to debunking those. My first impressions (could be wrong) are that this is dominated by right and far-right posters, so bring em on!

I don't believe you. No self respecting Leftie would call themselves 'Gandalf'. it's like a banker getting INTEGRITY1 for his car number plate.

Angry Gary,

If i did, then you prolly deserved it. [a link to my offensive words, please ?]

If i did insult you, why didn't you defend yourself, and defend your religion, and prove to everyone here, how wrong and mistaken i was ?

That is the purpose of a forum like this.

i.e.
To test arguments, and ideas.

Complaining that i 'insulted' you, just proves to everyone here, that if i did 'insult' you, or, your religion [and if you could not refute my criticism of yourself, and your religion], then i was probably correct in my criticism, of you, and of your religion.

Gary,

FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS SELF REGULATING

Open societies do not fear the opinions of fools.
....they rather, EXPOSE and laugh at folly!

In any free and open society, where debate is free and open, if a 'position' is absurd, if an 'argument' is absurd,
...then the debater is [often] condemned to all, WITH HIS OWN WORDS.

And that result [i.e. the exposure of folly] is THE VERY FUNCTION, of free and open debate.

Free and open debate is meant to be A CONTEST OF IDEAS!
....where every folly is revealed.

And open debate is healthy, to all general freedoms in a society.

Whereas, lies are easily concealed in closed societies,
....*because* these closed societies are places where lies, and falsehood,
....ARE NEVER EXPOSED TO SCRUTINY, OR SPOKEN TRUTH.

Gary,

Leave the UK.

Go and live in Saudi Arabia.

Where you belong.
