[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD

2+2 Rules

Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...


These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.

To reiterate some of the points:

1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.

2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.

3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.

4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.

5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.

If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.

Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]

ok I have to ask. How do you know?

It’s becomes a topic of discussion greater than 25% of the time. I asked. They told. They asked, I told. Ez pz




by rafiki P

I mean the thread will be shut down pretty soon I assume, but I gotta say this one is a first for me.

I’m sorry I didn’t know talking about natural body parts was offensive.

I guess asking someone if they are a victim of male genital mutilation is offensive. I just thought you wanted to talk about genital mutilation since you brought it up in a xenophobic manner


But seriously

Lol pointlesswords

You've reached a new low


by PointlessWords P

What was wrong? I don’t know why I got my dick sucked so much, I was just throwing out the answer I felt was correct

He asked me “why?” And I answered

You cant say that bc is is a wrong and b
Offensive to every jew and non jew.

I really hope thread doesn't get closed because here there is no flame war ongoing , it's just one user violating rules, everyone else talking normally.


what rule?


We could start with the rules of basic human decency


you literally asked me how I know getting my dick sucked feels better than someone who is circumsized

I answered your question and then asked you if you were circumsized which would then lead to me asking you the same idea that you asked me


Yeah but that is rich coming from the french colonizer.


I mean I wish I was circumsized and Ive been looking into getting it done. Ive had referrals already I just chickened out.

I also think maybe everyone should get it done but with anesthesia as a kid or something

Did you?

I don't think so, but I also think I'd be baiting you here into more lunacy, so maybe don't explain.

Is that meant to be..... me?

Confusion sets into the thread


actually without reading any new posts

I apologize for the comparisons and comments I made about FGM. it is not the same nor really similar to circumcision.

I was aggravated cause I saw rafiki say that fgm means countries are getting islamicized or whatever.


Also, imagine a Thai-American who's never been to Thailand saying this kind of nonsense. WE can never be safe anywhere except in OUR special Thai homeland for US. You'd think he was loopy.

I generally just assume you're trolling with the circumcision = FGM and "brown people" nonsense you post.

If Thai people faced high levels of discrimination around the world and had people calling for the annihilation of Thailand, it wouldn’t be that loopy.

so, the Philippines? they are facing existential threat from China.

We started because In Egypt, the catastrophic rise of FGM is tied directly to the rise of more radical forms of Islam. Egypt is close to a failed state, another factor heavily involved in where FGM happens. It's largely a socio-economic thing (ie more poverty means more FGM).

But there are non-Muslims who perform FGM in Africa, for example (some Christians). We just never got a chance to have a remotely civil discussion on this, and it has nothing to do with what we were discussing in Egypt (which is very clearly the rise of a much more radical form of Islam).

I would be interested in comparing economies in the countries where this form of Islam is prevalent. The ones I can think of have almost totally failed economies. But I suspect maybe there are exceptions somewhere (not my area of strength).

I’ve never heard of anyone protesting against the Philippines existing but maybe I need to get out more.

Israel was created right after the mass liquidation of Jews. That we can't see this as a very simple catalyst for the acceptance of the request for statehood is pretty odd.


and began with the mass liquidation of Palestinians.

The assertion that someone can’t care about a place or it’s people without having been there is ridiculous, especially coming from someone like him. Just the fact that someone could have family living in said place is enough to form a basic understanding.

I wonder what percent of the vocal Free Palestine supporters have been to Gaza or even Israel. My guess is the number is between 0 and 1.
