  1.  @MehEmail  Medieval Europe comes to mind. People had it really good in that fossil fuel free Utopia. LOL.

  2.  @maxbrazil3712  The "Stop Oil" crowd have been disrupting traffic, spray painting buildings and damaging property for years and you're all upset over one noise maker. Wow. Funny how the rules only apply one way.

  3.  @Syrnian  LMAO. You'd be just the kind of person that I'd never hire to do a simple job. If a balloon defeats you, there's nothing that I'd trust you doing.

  4.  @josiekaposie5783  The reason why there's a conflict is because Palestinian leaders refuse to accept a 2 state solution. Every time it was offered, the Palestinians turned it down, including in 1947, right before Israeli independence. It could have been a Palestinian independence Day as well but they want it all or nothing so the only independent region was the Gaza strip and the Israelis just let them have it. Apparently, the Palestinians don't want it.

  6.  @1594simonsays  It's not normalised??? I live in a small town of 15,000. Even our crosswalks are painted in the pride rainbow. The flag hangs from city hall and on top our local "mountain". There's a whole month commemorating the "gay" life as if being gay is an accomplishment or something. There's isn't even a month for those who lost their lives fighting the Nazis. Try using the wrong pronouns. You could get cancelled, lose your job and maybe be paid a visit by the police. It's become the domain of the self obsessed and I have gay friends that agree with me. There are gay and trans pundits, Dave Rubin, Douglas Murray, Buck Angel and Blaire White who've expressed their distaste for the spectacle that it has become. Grown men walking and simulating sex acts in front of small children.....that's not something anyone should want normalised but say that on the wrong platform and you'll be kicked off, like Laurence Fox did.

  7.  @Harassed247  Huh??? Someone said that we should imagine a fossil free world. So I did. I called up the Middle Ages. I did call it a "Utopia" but I didn't think that I had to explain the sarcasm. The Middle Ages sucked...for everyone, even the richest of the rich.

  8.  @eveharris30  Abigail is a trans woman. She said that they don't speak for her. I said, in corroboration, that NO one speaks for me, just like these people can NOT speak for Abigail. Only she can do that. My point is that no matter what group that I belong to, white male in this case, other white males cannot presume to speak for me. Abigail said the same thing and I will quote. "As a trans women I am disgusted by the behaviour of activists who claim to speak for me but do nothing of the kind." Either English is your second language or you're intentionally ignoring what she said.

  9.  @eveharris30  No one speaks for me. Only I can do that. I can't speak for Abigail. Only she can do that. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that Abigail and I don't like it when people try to put words in our mouths. Our mouths belong to us.

  10. Judge Taylor thinks that his position gives him the right to judge views, as well as points of law. Sort of like Trudeau and his comment about "acceptable views". No one, including judges and Prime Ministers, has the right to force their "acceptable views" on others.

  11. If you're a "genuine" protester and you see that your "genuine" protests become overtly destructive riots, night after night after night, you're no longer a "genuine" protester. You're a rioter. You're the guy that spars with the boxer to prepare him for the real thing. The "infiltrators" are not delegitimizing the protests. They're using the protests as a vehicle to attain their own goals and the "genuine" protesters are legitimizing the infiltrators by giving the appearance that their goals are synonymous and that these goals are a mainstream movement. If the "genuine" protests turn into riots every day, you'd have to be near brain dead not to know that you're being used. After 10 days maybe you should get a clue.

  12.  @elenawilliams32  My dad grew up during WW2, in the Netherlands. He watched Nazi soldiers march past the family farm when they entered his country. Yet, he never saw ONE Jew being arrested or murdered. NOT a one. Does that mean that the holocaust never happened? Of course not. Just because you've never seen these things happen in your school, that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen or hasn't happened. The world doesn't exist around your personal experiences. Also, NO one is blaming ALL teachers. They're blaming the system for allowing it, sometimes endorsing it and forcing teachers to go along with it if just ONE teacher, in your school district, does do it. I can give you a list of 500 FEMALE teachers, who have sexually molested students, all across the United States. I've never met one, so does that negate the veracity of that list? Of course not. You've offered a very poor argument.

  14.  @lilbagel456  It's OUR fault because this is a new phenomenon that wasn't part of the mainstream culture 20 years ago. 99% of the people hadn't even considered this type of thing in the year 2000. Suddenly, if you don't automatically do as they DEMAND, you're a bigot. I'm 70 years old and in my entire life, I've only met 3 people that were legitimately transgender. It's no different for most people. You can't expect change, that drastic and not expect some pushback. It's the new ideology of group identity that's causing this. I worked with 2 transgenders and it was over 40 years ago at different workplaces. That's it. Now I'm going to be labelled a bigot because I believe that they have biological issues that are no different than my brother in law who was a thalidomide baby. Their existence is to be respected but existence is to respected as well. It's not a one way street. You can't force me to say what I don't believe to be true no more than I can force you to do the same. It's our right to have our opinions. Opinions hurt no one. Taking away their rights do.

  15.  @savemoney5111  Israel has offered a 2 state solution, numerous times. They had maps drawn and even offered the Palestinians, the Muslims actually, more land than to Israel. However, the Muslims turned them down EVERY time. Now, since 2006, Gaza has been the homeland for Palestinians. Israel has assumed NO control over this strip. Gaza is now run by Hamas and they weren't elected. They've controlled Gaza ever since 2006. The Muslim leadership should have accepted the first 2 state offer the very first time, back in 1947. They would have had more land and the "freedom" that they're wailing about.....although I doubt very much that they'd have been happy with that freedom. Hamas are ruled and supported by religious fanatics and they see the Middle East as their land. They won't compel you to become Muslim, through force of law, but they will compel them to submit to Islamic law, under the Dhimmi Laws. The meaning of the word "Islam" means submission (to Allah) and we must all submit to Allah, either to their laws or as a Muslim. Even if you're Christian, Hindu or Rastafari, you must still submit to Islamic laws. That's the Islamic way.

  16.  @rosebud4387  But they did set the groundwork that allowed all people in the United States to be equal under the law. This was part of man's journey to the sovereignty of the individual. It's not as if slavery was a new idea and Americans had to decide if they liked it or not....comparable to the formation of Scientology or something. Slavery had been a part of human society for thousands of years. It wasn't going to go away with the blink of an eye, a collective face palm where everyone says "I never thought of it that way" and started releasing slaves. It was tough. Almost 300,000 Americans lost their lives fighting the south in a war that was fought largely to end slavery. THAT was America, too. So many forget that. No nuance, no historical context....just hate and anger towards people they'd never known and a time they couldn't understand. It's moral cowardice.

  17.  @elenawilliams32  What a cop out. You don't address one thing that I said. Not one. All you did say, basically, is that people disagree, therefore your opinions stands. No logic offered, no evidence....nothing. A bad argument does not validate a faulty opinion. Only facts and logic do that. "Agree to disagree". Wow. I could see it if we had an in depth exchange of ideas and facts but you've done none of that. You've fixed it so that you don't have to investigate, or even discuss, the matter. All opinions are valid and goodbye. Way to maintain living in your own little bubble.

  18. Of course a lot of teachers support the "not testing" policy. Testing students also tests the teachers and teachers don't want to be tested. At least the teachers who aren't doing a good job and don't care to. They don't want to lose their job and their pensions so keeping their job is important. I've worked in union shops for years. Invariably, the laziest guy in the shop becomes the shop steward. Not always but if you make bets over many shops, you'll end up ahead.

  19.  @stephenthorpe3591  Usually, someone has to be charged with a bad law so the people can see just how bad that law really is. Have Humza charged and suddenly the nonsense will be brought to light. That, or the hypocrisy will be profiled. Either way, the Humza types will only succeed if we do nothing but complain. They have to feel the consequences of the bad laws that they're legislating upon the people.

  20. If they give it back, Nigeria might put it back on display and women will be able to see and be harmed. They're going to keep it hidden for the good of all women, especially Nigerian women, who are way to sensitive to handle the sight of such an "horrific" artefact. We just gotta let Oxford do what's best for us. They're SO mush smarter, wiser even, than what we are.

  21.  @Alan_Wigz  What I think is funny is how YOU, suddenly don't give a f^^k about women's issues and women's sports is an issue about women. Not funny, actually. APPALLING!!!! "Look at me. Look at me. Look how much I care, trans folk". I'm not from the Ukraine, either. Am I a phoney because I suddenly care about Ukrainian's being killed through Russian aggression?? I couldn't care about it 4 years ago because it wasn't happening. I couldn't care about women's sports being ruined by transgenders 4 years ago because it wasn't happening. It's happening NOW. It's a ridiculous comment.

  22.  Macavity  hannannah 1uk He/she's making a great point. Those parades have become exhibitions for those obsessed with "me". Each one trying to gain the spotlight. "Look at me. I'm special". They've never learned humility....a real virtue.

  24.  @greghill7759  They were at the receiving end for a change. They didn't know how to react. It didn't take one of them long to come up with their favourite boogeyman, though. That Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire. They've never done this kind of thing but accuse them anyway. The Stop Oil crowd shouldn't say much anyway. Their disruptions of the daily affairs of ordinary people is on the news almost every day. It hasn't helped their cause much though. Most people think that they're nuts and a colossal pain in the spot hidden from view. I wonder how much they edited to end up with this short clip. LOL. I'm surprised that they didn't run off to their safe spaces to hug their favourite stuffed animals.

  26.  @ezenwaperfect  I explained, in another comment thread, why they can't do that. If they give it back to the Igbo, they'd put it on display and Igbo women will end up looking at it. Oxford has already proved that this is harmful to women. You don't want to hurt Igbo women, do you? That wouldn't be very nice.

  28. That old guy does what every leftie does. He asks a question, with the assumption that the answer will be wrong. He then tells the person that he's not allowed to make things up, using his assumption as his guide. They won't allow opinions to be voiced or new perspectives to be offered, unless they match his own viewpoint. It's why it's so difficult to talk to them.

  29. There are times to criticise the head of state of another nation. This wasn't a good time for Khan to criticise Trump, however. It was a state visit and political decorum should have been exercised at this time. You can show respect and disagree with someone at the same time. Khan would do well do understand that.

  31. @Pixie Pete God doesn't need you to judge for him. "Judge not lest ye be judged" "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth". A little humility will go a long way as an example of your faith.

  32. @Pixie Pete The implication wasn't that he was going to be judged. Not even close. It was the he was going to be judged negatively, that he was evil. To top it off, it also implied that you're going to be judged positively. When asked who is fit to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus replied "No one, but with God all things are possible". That would include you. That's where the humility comes in. Live your life under the assumption that you're not fit to be judged, let alone to be found acceptable to enter God's Kingdom. That's true humility. Be grateful that you even have that option because you don't deserve it. That's Jesus talking.

  34.  @smartiesnestle6679  If a nation crosses a border, attack, kill and sexually assault innocent people at a music festival, then drag men, women and children out of their beds and homes to kill, assault and kidnap them, they've declared war. If you declare a war, the other nation has a right to fight back. Don't cry because you've lost that war. It was NOT a holocaust. He meant to say EXACTLY what he said. You're just making excuses for Hamas, who committed one of the most brutal attacks in this century. Just remembering some of the brutal images of that day still makes my stomach retch. You're excusing evil and no different than the modern day deniers of the WW2 Holocaust.

  35.  @Phil-f3e  Whataboutism....a great rebuttal. "Well Donnie's doing it, too". Sounds like my kid brother when I was 10 years old. According to you, they've been convicted and it's only SOME Israelis. Who convicted them? If it was the Israeli government, that would indicate that it's NOT Israeli policy to abuse prisoners. In fact, if you do, they'll charge and convict you. How many Palestinians are going to be convicted for the starvation of Israeli prisoners? I'll bet it won't be a single one.

  36. They will get it too, if they keep us on the trajectory that we're on. They will completely destroy our economy and will face food, water and housing shortages. With that will come civil unrest and violence. However, they'll never admit that it was them that caused their own misery. They'll blame someone else for disrupting their radical social engineering.

  37.  @narniaphuket  They still place the test tube baby in the uterus of a woman. If it's successful, that baby will grow in the woman's body, taking all it's nourishment from the woman in which that baby lives. It's STILL the same procedure. Sperm meets egg. They join to form a new life and that baby grows within a woman's body. NOT a test tube. NOT a man and so far, not in a substitute device. A woman and only a woman. There is no other way.....yet.

  38. It's more than just the instant knowledge. They refuse to view any information that would disagree with their beliefs. I just read a comment where a person said that he would never go to one of those Nazi sites. He'd already made his mind up and any information that would contradict him HAD to be from Nazis. They've been taken in by a socialist ideology and once there, they refuse to ever accept facts. It's their belief or you are a Fascist.

  39. They go along with it because radical socialists have wormed their way into every institution. It was a long and slow process but their agenda is coming into fruition right now. Yuri Bezmenov, a Soviet journalist and KGB informant who defected to Canada in 1970, outlines the Soviet plan to infiltrate America universities and try to distort reality among the young. Those youngsters, who were successfully indoctrinated, find positions in academics, the media and government institutions and hire ONLY those who they see as allies to their cause. When their numbers take control of those institutions, we see what's happening right now. They're not lily-livered at all. They're doing EXACTLY what their mission tells them to do. Distort reality. “Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire. The atrocities will come next. It's why the radical left isn't condemning the horrors of OCT 7th in Israel. They're trying to convince you that rape and murder is just fine....another distortion of reality.

  41.  @eveharris30  Are you really this dense? You can't be. I said "No one". That wasn't specifically about them. It was directed at EVERY person on the planet. NO ONE has the right to speak for others and NO ONE has the right to speak for me. Not carpenters, Armenians, bachelors, race car drivers, nervous bridegrooms.......NO ONE. That includes the group that you're presuming to speak for. No one has the right to speak for someone else and then insist that's how they're supposed to feel or think. That's the very peak of authoritarianism. If you can't understand that, you'd make a fine minion for the next dictator.

  42. "Honour thy father and mother" is part of Ten Commandments for a reason. Not because it's a Christian Commandment but because it's a basic tenet of all viable civilisations. Ancestor worship and the veneration of those who came before you was part of the central belief systems of cultures all over the world. It's a gratitude to those who came before you. It's an appreciation of all they had to go through so you could now be alive and it's a wish to continue to build onto what has come before, realising that it's not perfect and neither are we. If you don't have it in your heart to hold gratitude, what do you have? Bitterness and resentment. Anger and revenge......and destruction. The destruction and anger that goes with it. Only a true narcissist would feel that they have all the answers and that only they hold the morality in their hearts to show the rest of us how to live.

  43. It's a story that thousands of years old. Pontius Pilate didn't want to kill Jesus either but he capitulated to the mob and killed him. For those who are tempted to call me out, I'm NOT religious. I used this 2000 year old story to illustrate that this mob mentality is nothing new and that people back then understood that the mob cannot be placated. The story doesn't have to be true to illustrate a truth about humanity.

  44.  @hannannah1uk  It bothers me because they're bringing little kids to watch them parade around and doing things that are overtly sexual. These are things that if I did it down at the splash pad, I'd be arrested. Also, their narcissism demands that I can NEVER criticise anything that they say or do. "Look at me" WHY??? They're no more special than anyone else. Yet my tax dollars has to pay for the crosswalks, in my town, to be painted rainbow colours in the honour. BS.....I left the church because I didn't like the way they imposed their beliefs on me. I'm not going to allow them to do the same thing to me, either. Live your life the way that you want, but don't EVER tell others that this is the perfect way to be. It's BS.

  45.  @lamontcranston3177  " Sorry. I don't do "research" at NAZI sites." What a lazy and pathetic way to avoid having to face facts. If the source doesn't agree with your worldview, they must be Nazis. It doesn't matter that this could be true. All it matters is whether it validates what YOU believe or not. It's all about YOU and you'll smear anyone that would DARE to contradict you. It's the epitome of narcissism.

  46.  @silviaquesada2499  I suppose that's a joke. It's rather a weak joke if it is. Markle went there as a tourist to honour the Invictus Games which her husband founded. It doesn't have anything to do with claiming asylum. I know Markle is a spoiled brat but I just don't get what your point is.

  47.  @sandrajayandran  My point is this. 1---- What does this have to do with the Igbo mask that is being held at Oxford? 2---How did Megan Markle get into this conversation. Even if you're replying to the original comment of this thread, it still makes no sense as it has nothing to do with seeking asylum in Nigerian. This is a comment that's coming out of left field. It's bad enough that the comment about asylum is off topic. Now we're talking about Markle. I'd rather talk about the hockey game tomorrow night, if we're going to go off topic. I wonder if they watch hockey in Nigeria.

  48.  @silviaquesada2499  Which means that your reference to Markle means nothing to the topic....the topic being about a mask that they claim should be in Nigeria. i'm not seeing how she fits into this. That's what loses me. What does Markle have to do with this mask?

  50. Radical Socialism is at the heart of this insanity. If you vote for left wing politicians, you're voting for this to continue and YOU are part of the problem. The radical socialists have infiltrated all our institutions, all the things that you've mentioned. It's the fault of the average citizen. They've convinced us that we need them to survive and used democracy against us. Benjamin Franklin once said "When the voters realise that they can vote money for themselves, that will be the end of our Republic". You can extend that axiom to any western country that values freedom but can't understand the dangers of unfettered democracy. It's why a strong constitution is imperative.

  51.  @zacchariaturnbull5322  Science??? Is that how we're able to communicate, almost instantaneously? Sounds like pretty cool stuff. I'm sure that we will find alternate technologies. However, will that bring other problems? Also, are we going to destroy ourselves is some big rush to get away from fossil fuels before the new techs are even in place. The "Stop Oil Now" advocates seem to be pushing us hard in that direction and it could lead to famine, disease, starvation, war and deaths the like of which we've never experienced in our history. We could destroy ourselves before we have a chance to develop these new techs. I'm Canadian and our Prime Minister has been all in to destroy our oil economy. Germany tried to do the same and now they're in trouble due to the war and are building more coal facilities to make up for the lack of fossil fuels and the dismantling of their nuclear plants.....which brings us to another issue. Are these rabid environmentalists going to try and stop the new techs out of fear and their desire to enact a radical socialist world government? We're allowing politics to get in the way of innovations as well. Example. Here, in Canada, we must sell any energy we can produce, with home solar panels, to our local electric company. Going off grid turns into a bureaucratic nightmare. Will they do the same with other techs? I have a feeling that they will.
