I never discussed choice into this argument.
To quote: B: You aren't even trying to read me in good faith.
I think my 84 on my 'Totalitarian Regimes of the 20th Century' module involved the answer to that question.Several people have tried Communism - you need to ask yourself why it doesn't work - it wasn't for lack of effort.
Outside of the odd-meme-ing for being on the left. My political affiliation would probably be closer to Libertarian Socialism which opposes the adoption of an authoritarian apparatus.
Where have I advocated repression of freedom of speech? In any context that matters. Not including legitimate use of forum powers.Repression of Freedom of speach is not necessarily "progress".
To quote: A: You aren't engaging in debate in good faith. B: You aren't even trying to read me in good faith.
How many times have you looked at your account infractions fuming about how I have repressed your speech? The answer is none, as I have never given you one.
When or where have I repressed your freedom of speech?
In regards to Fireman. You unfairly misrepresented my statements (again), look at the post at the very top. To even quote it for your convenience:
His Brexit view wasn't much, but his views on transsexuals pretty much amounted to "I don't want male perverts near my daughter in the bathroom". Clearly hasn't heard of this meme campaign, might change his view on how dumb he sounded.
Where or when did I advocate for repressing his speech?
Children are innocent. They don't see anything wrong until you tell them different. It is the adults which are the worst offenders.In general, yes, I think that unisex washing facilities - especially for non-adults - are a bad idea. They do not, however, offend my "sensibilities".
As I said, society of prudes.The argument, "well, if you saw tits all the time you'd stop caring" is besides the point. Teenage boys spend all their spare time trying to see tits - that what made the Sun so popular and it's such a problem our government is currently trying to put it behind an ID wall.
I consider your viewpoint that I cannot be a good person or have a morality because I don't believe in god to be absurd. I would argue that my absurd is the more absurd than your absurd too!In any case, I'm biased because I consider Secular Humanism absurd.
tl;dr version: I said "Cornwall and Devon were part of the Union just like Northern Ireland is". With this I was intending to state that the population and physical locations should be treated fairly.(and yes, you are going to bring in 'B: You aren't even trying to read me in good faith.' no matter how I word this statement as you did back then.)I have only a vague recollection of this, but I suspect what you did was conflate Cornwall and Devon - liable to earn a beating here. Dig up the thread and I'll give you a more nuanced explanation.
You brought up the differences of Country, Duchy and County, with emphasis Cornish identity politics when it wasn't a discussion I was or attempting to engage, resulting me in calling you pedantic over wording when you refused to accept my explanation.
In all honesty, I would be willing just to agree with "burying the hatchet" with you. I don't hate you, PFH nor do I care too, nor will I ever do(unless you reeeeeealllly went out of your way to deserve it). I know from your previous comments (well, it even has it's own thread) that this is not reciprocated.
I feel you may sometimes fail to recognise my dry humour or choose to ignore it. Not intended as a insult, merely an observation. I know you have confessed to difficulties to Husar's on occasions.You attach this to a specific fetish - I am talking about invasion of privacy (CCTV) and loss of safety (unisex facilities). We are already the most surveilled society outside China - the amount of CCTV we have isn't normal, it's pathological. At this point more CCTV is just bad.
