It's a pointless tragedy for sure but can we all put the religious stuff aside for a second and agree that anyone quoting 'I'd rather die standing than live on my knees’ on fb should be the targets for the next cia psy-op

I never liked you. Yeah you're "above it all", better than the rest of us. Fuck you.

How can you not have an opinion on a war over your fundamental way of life?

Just gave up on believing in universal truths a while back I guess. As a libertarian minded thinker I think it's better to challenge people's preconceptions than spout my own into thin air.

Either that or I'm just trolling because office work is boring.

Why? If you're a libertarian why do you challenge anyone's opinions? Shouldn't everyone just do and think what they want to? The terrorists are just doing what they want, isn't that cool? After all they were provoked too, you could call it self defense which is a libertarian concept.

So you support terrorists right?

How can Tim Wilcox get away with such blatant antisemitism?

All the media is prejudiced one way or the other; at least the Americans have the choice to consume media with a right-wing bent. We have no such options in the UK.

The principle is exactly the same; in each case a prejudice is revealed.

ridiculous.
there are obviously some areas within the UK (citys and boroughs) that are more dense with asians than others, e.g. tower hamlets compared to cornwall, but what fox are saying is pure scaremongering.
