And this is where It all falls down.

You have already chosen "racism and hate speech" as a way to categorise people who deserve no respect from you. Just because their opinion is differennt from your.

So do not claim to have respect for everyone. There are many people who loose your respect the moment they start being honest. The true and polar oposite of free speech you claim to support.

@stux @LukeAlmighty the biggest problem with being "respectful" is it's a vague and subjective term. Anything can be disrespectful. Is criticising someone's religion disrespectful when that same religion is by its nature disrespectful to the person in question? Is refusing to use someone's preferred pronouns disrespectful? Is swearing casually at no one in particular automatically disrespectful to anyone that hears/sees it? Where is the line?

Freedom of speech rarely fits into a code even if discussed in "polite terms" - Youtube's terms of service now forbids suggesting the US election was fraudulent. Criticising your government, it seems, is irredeemably "disrespectful" too.

Oh, I haven't posted this qote in a while: :ablobwhee:
“All men are not created equal. Some are born swifter of foot, some with greater beauty. Some are born into poverty and others born sick and feeble. Both in birth and in upbringing in sheer scope of ability every human is inherently different. Yes, that is why people discriminate against one another, which is why there is struggle, competition, and the unfaultering mark of progress. Inequality is not wrong, equality is.”

@stux
Why would you expect others to give the HIGHEST evaluation of other human being to everyone? Where do you see the logic in that?

@stux
And no. My respect is a privilege I am willing to take any day.

And I find it extremely entitled to expext respect from others. There is no higher appreciation from other men then their respect.

@stux
Respect is a false god...
Throughout my life, there was nothing more valuabe then an honest rage. If you're willing to ignore important advice just because it was said emotionally, are you realy ready to improve?

@stux
What a shame you do not see the value of free speech. This right that gives me some hope for humanity, and you're willing to kill that for a few insults? :blobastonished:

* and anyone else who has other datasets with overlapping data points that we can use to de-anonymise the data… Heck, there’s a multi-billion-dollar industry around this particular *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* act.

EU will allow us to trade better. Isn't that what you want? :blobcheer:

Now that you are giving us your tax money, we will use it to drain you even further unless you start brainwashing your kids to cut their dic off :blobdevil:

I deeply despise both the word "special" and the puzzle piece marketing.

It is truly amazing how every topic you talk about, you look at it from an opposite, yet still valid way.

I am 10 more times more worried for enslaved fathers then single mothers. The moment a mother decides to leave, the father will never again see his kids, and he is still forced to pay for alcohol for his former wife. That is just slavery, no other way to describe such existence.

And obviously, society does make the difference, but why not focus on the incentives the state gives to the mothers to leave the fathers? Why is the state supporting these things?

But ok. if you don't want to debate this further, I said what I needed.

I coudn't agree more with the least sentence.
When it comes to left/right devision, I tend to use political triangle. It seems to me to explain politics perfectly.
