Police and councils fly the flag for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month

“Democrat; interesting definition of "bail-out"; i.e. demonstrating a knowledge of the law, and whether the law had been broken vs someone who claims to be sure that the law isn't applied equally, whilst admitting that HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE LAW IS!!”

“sansue

I drew my conclusion long ago - your bail-out proves that I was correct.”

“ditto”

“Ladies and gentlemen, my work here is done! Draw your own conclusions folks.”

“@sansue
Your strategy is to drag the discussion into the realms of words and meanings. This is because words and meanings are subject to interpretation. You may think you are being clever, but what you are doing is not a valid form of debate.

It's a strategy used by the political class to dismiss scientific reality, that's why our civilisation is going down the plughole.

I suggest you study basic philosophical principles and critical thinking to enable you to look at the world around us with objectivity and also allow you to engage in open debate with honesty. I'm serious.”

“@sansue
Again, you're trying to pull the conversation off-topic. But a similar slur was made towards a minority group at work recently and we were told by police and management that the culprit could face a custodial sentence. Fact.

Even if the above was exaggerated, at the very least, you could lose your job, your social standing, forced to go on a diversity course and have your comment deleted. You would more than likely have your Mercury account suspended. Fact.

I don't see any of the above happening to Red_Ned. Fact.

People who live in the real world don't need any in-depth knowledge of law to know the consequences. Fact.

Like I said before, your attack on reality is a deeply personal one.”

“I repeat. A provocative term, like Red_Ned's: ''Oh, you poor white, male, heterosexuals'', could get you a prison sentence if applied to OTHER social groups. Fact."”

“Ok, well let me tell you that no criminal offence has been committed with what Red_Ned said as far as my (in-depth) knowledge of the law tells me. The nearest thing to it is racially agravatted harassment, but that comment is not that. I can't believe you are actually relying on putting the word "fact" down to prove your comment rather than quoting the factual information itself (i.e. the specific offence). It is laughable to claim that you know the law is not applied equally when you don't know what the law is!!!!!!!!!!”

“@sansue
Spare me your pseudo logic. You're not making any sense whatsoever. Your attack on reality is a deeply personal one.

I repeat. A provocative term, like Red_Ned's: ''Oh, you poor white, male, heterosexuals'', could get you a prison sentence if applied to other social groups. Fact.”

“Ps Nick, demonstrate your knowledge of the offences that you claim aren't applied evenly; what SPECIFIC offence are you claiming Red_Ned has committed, for which you claim the penalty is prison. I'm willing to put money on you not being able to name it............”
