So by responding to a post I am a troll? Sorry I thought this was a thread on a messageboard that promoted exchanges between strangers. Obviously this thread would be far more interesting if we all put eachother on ignore and spewed out something spontaneous and unconnected every few seconds.
I wanted to add in the disclaimer that I was in no way denying Shikari's freedom of speech. Ahem Mr G! Disagreeing isn't the same as a gagging order. Freedom of speech works both ways. He has the right to air his views and I have just as much right to disagree with his views.
I saw this the other day which might give some food for thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGgoCm1hofM
I don't think you were trolling, I think trolling by definition is posting anything designed to prove others. Sometimes people have sincere opinions but obviously posting some of the pictures he did he was just hoping to get a rise out of people or prove how edgy he is IDGAF. In the first post where I replied to you I should have simply said 'dont feed the troll' .
1. Accepting of the historical status quo.
2. Skeptical not of the occurrence of the holocaust, but of the specifics (e.g., how much was propaganda, how much was real).
3. Conspiracy-theorist-confirmation-bias. I want to prove it didn't happen, lets google for 'the holocaust was fake' and find 50 links that look to make convincing arguments.
Although KFC is always awful.
I see what you did there.
(Also even i agree Clemantine was perfectly allowed and acceptable to have ago at me)
It should be compulsory for children to learn poems of their choice off by heart.
It would encourage them to actually read them, express a personal interest, and then they could either recite them as to develop their oratory skills, or write an essay/piece on what they liked/it's significance so their written work improves.
Unpopular because most would think it boring and reminds some of horrible days of remembering spellings and times tables.
It's a way of life.
That doesn't make it right- children, unlike adult gays or kinksters- cannot consent.
Paedophilia in and of itself isn't wrong. Child abuse is though.
And yes, I agree, prepubescent children cannot give consent. (Also remember that paedopilia is an attraction to prepubescent children, so children under 12 typically).
That's a sweeping statement though isn't it. What you should really say is that having those feelings is not a choice (agree with this) but acting on them IS a choice.
Acting on your attraction without the consent of the child in question is child abuse, which is a choice. Paedophilia and child abuse are completely separate concepts.
its child abuse with consent by law as well though isn't it?
I'm curious about why you say that, though.
My reservations about trying to cure everything is that without people dying from diseases, the entire humanity would be in trouble.
and other less armed combat techniques
Pretty much that reason.
It's one of those certainties in life - people will die. Yes, it's very sad that sasy 50% of people die of cancer, but if we can get that % down we're only pushing up the % of people that die of something else. No one actually dies of old age.

The revolution in Libya would not have been possible had the removal of Saddam not intimidated Gaddafi in to surrendering his weapons, Saddam used his weapons to supress uprisings with terrible losses of life, Gaddafi would have done the same had he been able to.
I also think that nuclear energy and GM crops will provide energy and food for population incease we'll see in this century.
Nuclear energy is the best alternative to fossil fuels that we have, continuing to use fossil fuels for transportation will be necessary although nuclear energy will be able to replace fossil fuels in the generation of electricity.
GM crops are more viable and nutritious than organic crops, they provide more energy to consumers for a smaller investment in economic and natural resources from producers. We've been genetically modifying crops for thousands of years by selecting the crops that produce the most food each year, the current methods of genetically modifying crops are a vast improvement on our primitive methods of selecting the best crops for the future.
where are you going to get enough uranium from?
I'd start with Australia (but in the long-term extract from seawater)
