Yeah, real shame that the thought police stopped him from saying those things before he said them.
It's almost like you're still allowed to express thoughts, and other people are allowed to express their disagreement, and some people just feel like the first thoughts "aren't allowed to be expressed" because they view any dissenting opinions as the ominous "pc they" rather than a whole bunch of individuals who each individually find the original comments so odious that they all felt the need to speak up.
Almost. But in reality it's thought police.
If it was just a case of a guy saying "I believe women belong in the kitchen" Then someone else saying "You're a dick"
It wouldn't be a problem.
But when one guy says "I believe women belong in the kitchen" and then he gets a police complaint put against him and people discuss taking his boxing awards away that's punishing someone for expressing an opinion, which is policing peoples thoughts and opinions. I mean, he did tell a whole load of people he is basically prejudice against homosexuals, so I guess that might be seen as a hate speech, but that's what you get when you ask someone who's famous who's also a Christian and follows scripture to talk into a microphone
I'm not even taking sides in this argument but I just think it's interesting to watch.
On the one hand you can't talk about oppressing people based on their religions, Donald Trump just tried that. On the other hand you get a guy who basically says "Hey, I believe homosexuality should be illegal based on what is said in the holy scripture of my religion."
So you can't oppress sexuality or religion but what happens when it's someone's religion to oppress people of a different sexuality?
I haven't seen an opinion poll of a Muslim population who see Homosexuality as morally acceptable being anything over 20%, so I wonder if the same people who are petitioning for against Tyson Fury will be on Donald Trump's side in his latest controversial remarks.
You have to be prejudice against homosexuality or against Abrahamic religions or just rely on the fact that some religious people for some reason irrationally disbelieve in some parts of the books they say they do definitely believe in, or maybe rationally disbelieve in parts of the book they irrationally believe in....
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
