Literally no-one said that being assaulted is funny. You are purposefully misinterpreting what is said to support your [lack of an] argument.

You make no sense. If sexual assault isn't funny then why would you find a joke an about sexual assault funny?
I guess it's funny if it's referring to someone else eh?

Most of your comments have been deleted which probably tells you something. I didn't report them so clearly others also find your views abhorrent.

Oh no, the strange neurotic people on the internet don't like what I say...

So you missed out the context and changed what I meant, then present it as an absolute truth?

She said that pro-choice women would send their children to Canada for MAID if they got ill or had an accident.

What relevance does that Sharron Davies quote have to my comment

LIBS OF TICK TOC

Edited

So the context to 'their older children must feel scared each time they get sick or have an accident, that they will be sent to Canada and given MAID' is that if a woman terminates a pregnancy due to foetal abnormalities which normally mean that the baby will not survive as their disabilities are incompatible with life, their other children live in fear that if they fall ill their parents will send them to Canada to be killed?

I can't believe that a normal person would even have these thoughts. I highly doubt that parents in this terrible situation tell their children that they are terminating the pregnancy. If the children are old enough to be aware of the pregnancy, they will just be told that the baby has died. And how many children do you know that even know about assisted dying? As you also must know, you can't 'send' other adults to Canada for assisted dying, never mind children.

Your extremist anti-abortion views are misleading and dangerous.

You also have not responded to my queries about your views on the 2nd amendment and gun control. If you support the 2nd amendment but think of yourself as 'pro-life' like the majority of Trump voters, you are a hypocrite.

Ridiculous comment. Where else are they going to go, somewhere else as badly effected by climate change?

Who wouldn't head for the best/least worst refuge?

You are both right.

Some people migrate to create a better life for themselves and their children or to make money to send home because they can’t see how it can be done in their own country.

Some people migrate because where they live has become uninhabitable due to climate change. This has been reported on in some regions of the world already and is predicted to increase dramatically as the climate crisis worsens.

Some people migrate to get away from suffering, fear and danger from other human beings. Some are in such danger they are classed as ‘seeking sanctuary’.

Some migrate because they feel the values in another country reflect their own better.

Some will migrate to be closer to family.

Some will have more than one of those reasons and there might be other reasons too.

Some will have brown skin, some will have white skin, most will very much add benefit to the society they join, some will be problematic. You can’t tell which will be which from skin colour. You can have good processes to vet people and cap numbers to maintain an healthy society and compassionate pathways for sanctuary seekers that don’t force them into dangerous journeys.

The liberal elite don't practice what they preach. Everyone is sick of them.

That’s the language of division that Russia is gleefully peddling.

I think you might class me as being in that group.

I am a believer in human rights regardless of colour, gender, biological sex, religion, socio economic group. I want to see a fairer society for all. I’m appalled by the racism and misogyny of Trump and his campaign and would have been door knocking for Kamala had I been American.

Climate change is real, it’s here and it’s happening much more fiercely and more quickly than predicted. I do keep my carbon footprint low. I’m sure I could get it Lower but it’s on my mind and it organises my life choices.

I am probably seen as middle class but came from relative poverty. Charity shop clothes. Food the main expense and was minimal and cheap. Very aware that money was tight. Certainly no luxuries.

But I bet if we sat down and had a chat we would find lots in common. If you have children, then probably how much we love them and want the best for them. Gripes about spouse/partner/housemate not doing their fair share of the housework, sadness at loss of a loved one, health worries, love of certain foods etc. I’m sure we would find a common humanity and shared passions (unless you are a Russian bot of course).

We can have differences of opinion, of course, but let’s see the humanity in each other too and challenge this grouping of people into ‘woke vs gammon’ type cliches.

None of us are such simple human beings that we can be reduced to one word or seen as part of a group and that sums the whole of us up. We are all more complex than that.

If they weren't telling the rest of us how to vote/think/live, nobody would be as bothered by their lifestyle.

While the rest of us have been fretting about recycling and using paper straws, a new study shows that the super-wealthy have been polluting more than ever.

Despite being owned by just 0.003 per cent of the population, research shows that private jets of the rich make an 'outsized' contribution to climate change.

Scientists from Linnaeus University in Sweden found that private jets produced 15.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) in 2023, up 46 per cent from 2019.

The most frequent fliers each churned out 2,400 tonnes of emissions in 2023 – more than 500 times as much as the average individual.

Last year, ultra-rich jet owners – including the likes of pop star Taylor Swift and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos – flew for almost 26,000 hours over 4,301,561 individual flights.

However, the researchers argue that a sizeable amount of these journeys could have been made by car or other means of transport.

www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14054663/Carbon-emissions-private-jets-increased.html

It’s not the super wealthy that use jets that are telling us what we need to do, it’s thousands of scientists, researching and over decades. It’s the extreme weather events that we are already seeing that are only going to get worse and send us towards tipping points, after which there will be nothing we can do.

Yes some super wealthy people spout out about the climate emergency yet continue to have the highest carbon out out of us all, but a few wealthy hypocrites doesn’t make the situation less grave than it is, not the very real need to change more robustly less urgent.

Recycling and not using plastic straws really is the absolute bare minimum.

Personally I'll never get over the irony of those people who have least time or sympathy for refugees being so wedded to the climate change denialism that will result in the worst migration crisis in human history, as the earth's warming creates huge areas around the equator that will be completely uninhabitable for humans within the next few decades

People aren’t moving because of climate change. They move to make money. If Europe was poor as shit, they’d not come at all.

I think women's single sex spaces should be protected but the hatred and prejudice towards trans people is disgusting.

Right, so you think single sex spaces should be protected, as do I. So how is anyone (including myself as has been levied at me) showing hatred and prejudice towards trans people? Do you have specific examples? @thepariscrimefiles

You will not be able to supply evidence of this

I said that their older children that knew their parents aborted due to disability, may fear that their parents may (if they get sick/have an accident) find them also inconvenient and take up the offer of MAID in Canada.

🥱 again, I am sorry that you seem to have comprehension issues.

The level of hysteria in America by young people is in itself very worrying. Regardless of politics when Trump was president last time life in the USA still carried on. It will this time. Instead get into politics & change it. Crying on TikTok, shaving off your hair or declaring celibacy to punish men is seriously insane! This mass mental breakdown has been brought on by terrible MSM whipping very un resilient girls in particular into a frenzy of depression! It’s very self destructive ..

I have comprehension issues as your posts don't make any sense. What relevance does that Sharron Davies quote have to my comment about your views on abortion and assisted dying?

This is a direct quote from your post at 18.15 yesterday in response to my query to you about who believes in full term abortion:

Their older children must feel scared each time they get sick or have an accident, that they will be sent to Canada and given MAID.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 07/11/2024 20:44

How can anyone who is a woman vote Trump? He’s a misogynistic, rapist sexual abuser who thinks that any woman who has an abortion for any reason, should be punished. Can anyone think that a man would put up with being told what to do with their own body and if they for example had a vasectomy, being punished for it? Being arrested for manslaughter because you’re miscarrying?
A dark day for women in the states and I feel very sorry for them all.

That's disgusting thing to say. It's actually very difficult to get an assisted death in Canada, anyway. That poster knows nothing about the process and is talking errant nonsense.

Tiedyesquad · 07/11/2024 20:34

I think the Democrats have dropped the ball. I am very fearful of the Starmer gov doing the same thing. There needs to be a much more radical look at how the whole system works and how to connect with voters and the political system is basically tired and old.

The thing I fear most is that lots of political folks think that the adversarial, abstract crap that is talked among themselves, about what people want, is a feature not a bug - they think they're doing all this stupid shit with Whips and Private Members Bills and blah blah and they think it leads to good policy and legislation and don't even realise how far off they are from real life.

So yeah I think the Democrats did that and also here we are doing that. I don't think either gov has "plans" that are strategic enough to take on the challenges we really face and describe them accurately to people.

I think women's single sex spaces should be protected

By this, do you mean you think the biologically male people that are considered "trans women" should be excluded from them? @thepariscrimefiles

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 07/11/2024 20:31

thepariscrimefiles · 07/11/2024 20:23

The chances of women being assaulted by a man in a single sex space such as a women's toilet are much higher than the chances of being assaulted by a trans woman.

I have lived in two different large cities as an adult, socialising in pubs, night clubs and gay bars and I have never met a trans person, never mind being threatened or assaulted by one. I've had many narrow escapes from men.

I think women's single sex spaces should be protected but the hatred and prejudice towards trans people is disgusting. It feels like the McCarthyism of the 1950s with the 'reds under the beds' scare, completely out of proportion to the reality.

Again (can people read before falling over themselves to shout ‘you hate trans people,
its getting boring), how does one tell the difference between a man who wants to cause you harm, and a trans women who just wants to pee/get changed/whatever. You don't even have to dress any certain way, you just have to say ‘I am a woman’. Both are men. Women who don’t believe people have an inner gender identity would just see men. Women would really benefit from that insider knowledge, an inner crystal ball.

It’s not even about being attacked. Women have a right to be in such places without the presence of a biological male. End of.

I know plenty of lovely men, I still wouldn’t want them to go into female sex spaces if they woke up tomorrow and decided they were a woman despite being 99% sure of their intentions. Why? Because their mere presence may make women feel uncomfortable.

The comprehensions skills (or lack of) is frightening.
