RUPERTKBD Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) The whole premise of this thread makes me laugh... If your ideals and principles put you in a particular spot on the political spectrum and you claim that it's the "center", (wherever it might be) then whatever is to your right or left can be considered "radical". It appears as though certain folks here believe that if, for instance, one believes in man-made Climate change, or LGBTQ rights, then you're some sort of "far left, radical SJW/Libtard", Yet those same people bristle at being lumped in with the far right, even though they dispute the idea of man made Climate Change, rail at Gender Equality, (there seems to be this pervasive belief that if the PM appointed a gender balanced cabinet, then by definition, he had to have passed over better qualified male candidates in doing so) or attempt to promote fiction about what goes on a Pride parades, in the guise of "protecting children"..... I've got news for you self-proclaimed "centrists": You're not as "central" as you think you are. Edited July 25, 2019 by RUPERTKBD 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way the Pride people should be trying to use whatever leverage they have (with the popularity of their parade) to stop freedom of speech in Universities. Yes, we don’t like what some people say. However, if that person’s speech isn’t breaking any laws, they are entitled to speak, and the University should promote their speech. It’s up to the citizen to listen, and make a personal choice on the value of said speech. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an important distinction. And I think one most people could understand given their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
