This is intended to provide answers to stupid statements people make. Basically you make a stupid statement about race, religion, gender etc and then the other people have to convince you it is wrong. It will was inspired when faced with people who want to know the difference between Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter.
Rules
1) You can lie and not really represent your views
2) You will not be judged
3) You will try to pretend that while playing this silliness you are trying to be serious
Anyone in?
Starter
a)The NHS are forced to use 'Evidence based judgements' on who they treat and how.
Evidence shows that women get pregnant and need to take time off work for babies
Employers are not allowed by law to treat women of child bearing age differently from men even though all evidence, despite male paternity leave, shows women take more time off.
b)Most large organisations have 'inclusive councils' or similar to make sure LBGT+ people do not feel excluded. Why do they exclude homophobic racists? Surely as an oppressed minority they should be supported.
Again, before I get slaughtered, this is not a serious debate but more a fun chance to argue down bigotry. Neither of the above views are mine
I started drinking at 1600. I so don't get this.
This is the worst idea and will end up giving the racists and bigots a voice, I'm out.
Oh and

Op,in the your ideal world this might seem plausible,but really?the three most possible sensitive issues out there currently..good luck with that one.
You do know the burden of proof thing? It’s pretty exhausting if not impossible to overtake a galloping Gish when their horse runs at full tilt on bullshit and strawman arguments.
To counter/win against your argument, my nag is necessarily slow and plodding, carrying the double-burden researching and verifying both the proffered evidence and the counter-evidence - and that’s BEFORE also verifying (or discounting) and untangling the claim’s/claimant’s context, historicity, good faith etc etc.
So, er....you provide the evidence. I’ll have a cider 🤣
Just posting this to see if it got in before the thread was locked...
May as well go for it, the forums like a combat18 discord anyway

Do remind us why you keep coming back.

Honestly, this thread has been worth it for that pun and I'm vexed that I didn't think of it first. May it pass into STW folklore forthwith.
I agree. Motion passed.
What’s homophobie?
I have no useful contribution to make!
Edit - That’s not what I wrote. Hmmmm

In before the thread gets shut down for being inappropriate. HA!

Where's the evidence, Dad?
I’d just like to be the cleverest person that can post on page after page after page just to prove to the one person reading my posts how jolly clever and non-racialist I am. Please. Just this once can I be him?
I’m definitely not homophobic.
I love my house.

Me neither. However my eldest son, who is a raving homosexual is really really annoying. He even pisses his younger (non gay) brother off more than he does me.

Sorry Dez, the Almighty just didn’t deal you that card.
Oh flip

I'm unsure as to how this thread is going to pan out and we've already had complaints. But as far as I can tell it is not - yet - breaking any rules and we're not the thought police so please don't make undue work and drama for us.

Understandable. Being into 90s dance music would piss me off too.

Not much parental support there; how does your gay son feel about your views?

At first glance I read the second line as “ I love my horse”
Woah Nelly!
What’s a “raving” homosexual?

Something like this, and he certainly looks annoying

Are you hobophobic, hate the idea of losing your house?
Has anyone been banned yet?
Wow, I posted this and then ran away. Didn't expect it to still be here in the morning.
STW should get some kind of award/therapy for being such a nice and tolerant place (except for rave music obvs).
Well done to the mods for letting such an obvious troll bait thread survive.

Credit is to the members for keeping within the boundaries certainly was worth keeping an eye but from what I can see no one went too far.

I didn’t expect it to still be here this evening! Is surprised! 😳
