It starts with "hate speech"
...you don't think that, if certain political positions spawn primarily from a physiological defect that causes an overabundance of fear rather than any sort of rational thought process, this is a problem?
So, you;re perfectly fine with major political policy decisions being made based on an admittedly emotional basis of fear rather than pragmatic, realistic policies driven by accurate information and rational thinking?
Wasn't it the Russians who, back in the bad old days, locked up and drugged many who opposed them on the basis of their "mental illness?"
What is it with liberals and other totalitarians who can't stand any form of disagreement with their positions? They start by classifying disagreement as hate speech, but how long will it be before this article, done in jest, is actually tried for real?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Because a lot of these arguments aren't just simple disagreements. They're obviously wrong. They are so obviously wrong that we begin to wonder if there's anything mentally wrong with those who actually put forth these crackpot arguments.
You demonstrate my point so very clearly.
Thank you!

Re: It starts with "hate speech"
You are confusing socons with real conservatives.
You want to discuss the differences, start another thread.

Re: It starts with "hate speech"
Well of course!
But liberals love to bash "conservatives" and I'm getting a little tired of it.
So expect to be corrected more often.
