It's interesting how, whenever someone rebuts your assertions with tangible evidence, you resort to to wildly mischaracterizing their points. If you were a girl you could just cry and save us all a lot of time. Okay, Matt - my earlier flippant response didn't do justice to the work you've done with...

The French & British general staffs drew up plans to violate the neutrality of Belgium in case of war with Germany. Yes, Matt, as you and I know, a lot of history went on - in the past - and many plans were made which never were actually realised. It was more than just a contingency plan. You asser...

That's a nearly universally-believed pile of bullshit. A small coterie of francophile senior British officers, with Asquith's approval, entered into a secret defensive treaty with France.

Would be interesting to know, if you support the use of British violence in any political context. Let's say the latest Afghanistan and/or iraq interventions. How about the first world war, or the falklands perhaps? When in your estimation is violence justifiable? It's quarter past ten and I've had...

Pertaining to Linus' argument - Why did Bogo and Lyndsay do their big reveal so quickly ? If they really wanted to objectively test the field of GS, why not leave the hoax paper in for say, five years. Then, they'll have the data - would the hoax have been discovered ? How many times would it have b...

Striking someone on the head not directly threatening you with violence (no sjw tards, being a trump supporter does not constitute directly threatening you), with a weapon can only be viewed as a premeditated attempt to kill that cannot be mitigated by a self defence argument.

Don't take the "idiot thing personal you cunt. I'm going to have to add an LOL after that, so you get the tone with which I say it, you stupid ignorant tosspot.

It's always great to have some wanker who knows fuck all about the tragedy that was/is the Irish conflict, pontificate about the evil IRA. I grew up in it, it was my everyday life, as both a child, and a young adult. Conflict is disgusting, inhuman and its product is always suffering beyond imagina...

You're telling me the IRA was bad. That's not disputed. The regressive left is saying the IRA was just as bad as ISIS. To refute that, I don't need to claim that every IRA attack was squeaky clean, only that it on occasion showed restraint, then point to utter lack of similar constraint by the jiha...

IRA: * Believes they are a legitimate belligerent entity engaged in armed resistance against an illegitimate military occupation; * Ideology is secular, based on the false belief that the 1921 Peace Treaty was invalid; * Goal is political, specific, with a one-time permanent resolution; * Strategy ...

I'm surprised the following SJW rationalisation of the PenisGate hoax has not been used: "Boghossian and Lyndsey may have thought that they were writing a hoax, but actually (like all shitlords) they truly know in their hearts that the Conceptual Penis is responsible for climate change and that ever...

TL;DR: Social Justice is the religion of those who can't make it on their own and whine to get prizes.

Just you wait. I've heard rumours of a BBC production about Alfred the Great fighting off the Vikings, with Alfred re-imagined as a Trans Rastafarian.[/quote

Stop me if you've heard this one, but a privileged white woman antifa activist from the US fell in love with a Turkish antifa and moved to Turkey and found that the man wasn't the intersectional feminist she thought he was. And how was she supposed to know that Turkey is not as progressive as a NOW...

One extra thought on the Huffington post hoax.

An improvement if the hoax had been the same but the hoaxer had been a Woman of Colour, who later revealed herself as a poe. HP could not have banned her for race or gender, so what would they have done ?

Young children typically make the '1,2,4' mistake. It's believed to trace back to a crude, innate counting ability in animals. Or perhaps it is a developmental regression to our robotic ancestors?

Okay - I wuz duped by the "Boston Antifa". It is a Godfrey-style troll. Very convincing !

They made a video to help distinguish between real antifa and posers, so that might be useful to determine whether they are for real or not.

The guy who hit the Antifa woman has been identified as a white supremacist guy who used to lead the youth wing of a nationalist organisation. He's also a convicted robber who was converted in prison by reading David Duke. He's also an ex-marine who went to Iraq and has drug and alcohol issues.

I don't think your view there is so fair, pig... The alt-right and far right wing groups I'm part of are preeeetty argumentative over the finer points of shit.

The schism started with Hitchens' death and finished with Trump's election.

Is the schism over or has it simply ceased to have any revelance as a "thing"? When did it cease to be? It's a bit like the situation with native American tribes in the 17th century. They've been happily fighting against their traditional enemies the tribe next door and decide that there's these ne...

I'd say that that they are nominally religious, in that they don't care about theology or the specific of their religious, only about a generic feel-good message that they think comes from the bible but actually is just a cherrypicking of the parts of the bible they like.
