Poland Sucks

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Adding to something is not answering, NO KIDDING. 

I'm delighted we can agree that you don't answer direct questions.

 

Yes I was adding to it, because it is important not to get stuck on the short term when it comes to human history.

Adding to a topic doesn't prevent you from answering a question that was asked does it?  Especially as it wasn't a history question, but a current events question.

Give any group enough of a majority with no check on it's power, any group can and will do that if given enough power. Even in the west. Even in America. 

Absolutely, totally and completely off topic. 


 

No I did not.

You did.  Scroll back.

You stupidly assume because we have western concepts of checks on power, and freedom of speech, that magically defends itself. Participation is why we still have it, not because everyone likes what everyone else says. 

 I'm not assuming anything, and you have no basis to say that I am.

 

If we had  nothing but Judge Roy Moores on our Supreme Court and a congress of a majority of Pat Robertsons do not tell me that kind of majority wouldn't have us arrested here in America if we did the same thing. THEY WOULD!

I'm not trying to tell you anything of the sort.  I grasp that democracies can turn into authoritarian states, that freedoms can be curtailed.  But that isn't the point of the question I asked.


 

PARTICIPATION is the only defense of free speech,

Thank you for the civics lecture, but I've participated in the democratic process more times than you've had hot dinners.

not assuming it will always be that way.

Again, on what basis do you justify that I'm assuming that?  Oh, wait - that's a question.  Sorry, I know how much you hate those.

And Boru, please do not hand me any guff that if our right wing had it's way it wouldn't do the same. They are making constant attempts to hurt minorities through law even today.

I promise not to do that.  Please stop making unjustified assumptions about me, you insufferable twat.
