Making the news today....

Yes, and the mods will have to make that call, but stopping the debate is not cool.

 

 

 

If they want it to be purely a tree forum then fair do's, but in my view the lounge adds a worthwhile optional element.

We all know that Matelot likes to provoke, this doesn't mean that all of his input is invalid. I don't like his tone either but he does raise some points that we should be discussing.

 

The thing is I'm not saying anything that many many people aren't also saying in the privacy of their houses or to close friends....

 

Many people will be reading this thread and thinking "this matelot guy makes some interesting points, I broadly agree with his arguments". Then they read that people want to close the debate down...

 

We all know that people generally want to close debates because they are losing the argument.

I've never said it was. What would be cool is to stop the mindless, repetitious bear-baiting that has been allowed to go on. When somebody's sole interest on a forum is to post offensive statements with the intention to goad other members into a response then that person's membership needs to be seriously considered, if only for the maintenance of a friendly atmosphere on the site.

No reply to my vote for arb only threads or mixed discussion threads then. I would of thought the arb only faction would have jumped at the chance

We are in full agreement Felix.

The real reason people want to close the debate down is because they feel guilty. Many people have spent the last decades defending mass migration from some of the most violent cultures on earth. They attacked anyone that was against the migration as "racist".

 

The Manchester attack has been a wake up call for them. They now realise that their previous beliefs have been wrong. They now realise that they are partly responsible for the deaths of children in Manchester. Instead of admitting they were wrong they'd rather stick their fingers in their ears and close the debate down.

No it's because I have unanswered questions about arb work because people are put off coming on this forum from reading your hatred and bile.

I have my opinion on Islam and that was formed pre 911 from life experiences , if you feel that strongly go and join the peshmerga fight Isis and do some thing about it instead of turning an arb forum into preaching platform.. you automatically assume people are not capable of having opinions and that's fair enough it's a free country and why we stormed the beeches of Normandy.

What are your unanswered questions? Have you posted a thread to ask the questions?
