Modern US liberals don't realize the problems they complain about the most are *caused* by modern US liberalism. And that involves Ireland in what way? |

AH that may be true but peasant I am know that nails that stick out are hazardous. That thought did occur to me, not for the first time, but I didn't want to go there. |

Oops, that'll teach me to mix truth with humour. Slaps himself on the wrist :-) |

That said, my question for CLYDE is: please explain how the hate-filled beliefs of anyone be "tossed into the toilet" by others who are not them? I consider myself moral and ethical - I really do! - but I have no idea how I could possible take some radical nut-job's core beliefs and "throw them away", unless I entered the dystopian realm of A Clockwork Orange, which would render me ... decidedly amoral and unethical! Thanks John, after reading the sentence/paragraph in the context of the original post, it seems the alternative interpretation (that the "their" refers to members of the apparently hate-filled left and right) might be the one CLYDE intended; though, as you note, it is also problematic upon examination. Not only are there problems in execution of the tossing, how can moral and/or ethical people toss the beliefs of others? There's also the problem of definition, who are the left and right? Who is to define what is a hate-filled belief? I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Well in the case of Ireland, that was all done by the church & their brain-washing of its citizens. The biggest one was of saying the mass in Latin to a people who only understood Gaelic or English. When questioned by those very same citizens, the church labelled them "heathens". |

Either way, the line Sirius is highlighting might need some further explanation. There was no argument, intellectual or otherwise, there was an observation, which lead to a request for further information. You refused to supply this further information, while at the same time calling others disingenuous and accusing others of name calling (without any apparent irony). As this poster sees things, you are completely and utterly wrong in your assessment of what happened here. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

AH that may be true but peasant I am know that nails that stick out are hazardous. I think you may have the nails wrong, pseudo-intellectual and professor of histrionics are closer to the truth. |

Modern US liberals don't realize the problems they complain about the most are *caused* by modern US liberalism. The problems we complain about are caused by GREED. You guys (and Guys) think that letting ugly greed run wild is the answer? We will all end up as vassals, every time. guaranteed. [edit, not all, just almost all] #resist |

Pro LGBTQ and (Cross dressing)Where is the "H"? Don't "H" deserve protection? Very funny............. I pretended for a day or two that I was cross dressing, and the responses were interesting to say the least. Maybe I should really try it. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

What has the garbage you've posted on this thread have to do with the topic? |

What has the garbage you've posted on this thread have to do with the topic? So instead of asking others a question on that garbage, just what is your alternative to what you call "crap leaders"? You're quick to dismiss others but dislike being dismissed yourself. If you answer the questions asked of you, you will find you're dismissed less often. |

Lets try and stay on topic One mans garbage is another man's livelihood. Also can posters stop referring to either the right or left as "hateful" Whilst I will not deny there are some far right and far left fanatics that are just out to destroy the equilibrium and probably deserve the tag I have seen none here As I have been called a "lefty" recently I would not like to believe I am in the "hateful" camp. |

Fair enough. A direct question for Clyde: What has your issue with Gary & the "hoard of Jews" have to do with Ireland's Shame? |
