What automatically makes you think people are idiots?

For me it’s:

people who think that Michael Jackson isn’t a pedophile.

people who say things like “Londanistan” “Bradfordistan”

People who say “If the Holocaust is real, why do the tattoo numbers only go up to 5 digits”

You write a long list of things you think make people idiots but can’t spell a simple word like disgusting. When this is pointed out to you, it goes completely over your head. When the penny finally drops, your response is to just be plain rude. You seem an utter delight.

Just fyi, you also said you thought ‘People who have no concept of how to use proper grammar’ were also idiots but you don’t seem to have grasped the concept of a full stop….. or, judging by the above, a question mark.

Ahh chill yer beans.

People are dying and our tax is paying for it. I’m trying to help stop that! If the news reports turn out to be true, then something is about to go down with Iran, lots of innocent people on both sides will die, again I’d like that to not happen.

How does posting on a forum help stop that exactly?

True to form mumsnet has immediately deleted my post for criticising a country!

Every post online helps form opinion, why else would my posts about criticising a certain country keep getting deleted?

Literally the post you’ve just replied to me on has been deleted!

Anyway, I’m extremely opinionated in the topic and love to post about it, so for me it’s cathartic, but also interesting to see media censorship in real time happening.

I think you’re delusional if you believe your posts on a forum will make any impact or difference in the real world.

You can believe what you want, but posting on here isn’t going to change a thing.

If it’s the post I’m thinking of, I’m glad anti semitism isn’t allowed here.

When you stated ‘I like Hamas’ and denied the rapes of October 7th happened yes, you definitely helped me form an opinion.

@OneWittyGuide

It is illegal to publicly support a proscribed terrorist organisation, which Hamas is.
