Read the last sentence in the picure attached.
It sounds awfully like what's happening in Islamic countries (Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc) and ISIS.

What you're doing here calvingrey is called Taqiya: making Islam more palatable to non-believers by deceiving them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiya

You can be gay and muslim but the metal gymnastics required to do that is Olympic level and also the community won't be kind* about your sexual orientation.

• threats, harassment, etc…

You can identify as a child as long as you want but you're still a sexual predator trying to justify their sick behaviour.
STOP!

I can't believe how, in 2020, there is still a debate over whether paedophilia is wrong or harmful. I also can't believe how anyone will do anything but outright condemn this type of behaviour.
People with this affliction should seek professional help and not try to normalise it. And they should definitely not try to latch on to the LGBT community saying it's a sexual orientation or just like homosexuality.

We DON'T want you!

And one last thing, there is no such thing as a virtuous paedo!!

First I'd like to say that, on principle, I'm totally against de-funding/abolishing the police.
However I kind of want to see Democrat cities across the country get rid of their police force and turn into the sh*thole that Minneapolis has become. If Democrats think that the police aren't an essential part of society then so be it! We'll see how it goes for them.

LOL! Black lives don't matter to Black Lives Matter!

Listen to this based black woman and how white progressives try to shut her down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItopNgRQiuY

You forgot to mention the border, guarded, patrolled, and with a wall/fence. Just like the US border. But somehow theirs is not racist?!  ???

I totally understand the need for LGB groups since the trans community has started to turn their back on the others particularly lesbians!
Even though I think the problem has more to do with transgenders than transsexuals (~73 genders vs 2 genders respectively).

If the woke far-left progressives want to push their agenda and use the trans community as a battering ram, don't expect me to shed a tear for them. They reap what they've sown.

I'm attracted to male-looking dick-carrying individuals and that doesn't make me a bigot!

@JohnAllenson:

where there is a very strong anti-LGBT worldwide movement.

It's funny you say that because they're the same groups that defend islam!  :blink:

Nothing new here!
We all know that Facebook has a strong progressive bias and therefore tends not to apply the rules fairy and equally.
I don't know if they hate Jews but they're definitely on the side of Islam and a terrorist state.

raphjd, I thought you were British ? You told us about your bad experience with the NHS.

@raphjd:

I live in the UK.

I was almost killed by the NHS about a decade ago and left with permanent nerve damage in both hands about 15 years ago.

Until the last general election in my country I'd always voted left, them came feminism, islamism and migrants to name a few.

Did I say you didn't have the right to call him names?
I meant you can't call someone names and then expect them to turn up for a debate!!
I also meant both behaviour are childish. What happened to being the bigger person!?

But raphjd, you didn't answer the question: is there a way to un-link the upvote/downvote system from the reputation feature for this section of the forum?
I think it'd be a happy medium: it's not censorious and somebody's reputation can't be abused.

Disabling it by section would be better otherwise it'd kill the reputation feature as you said.

@Gianni89:

The obvious "grown up" answer to this is that said party historically known as "wafflez" just quit behaving like a 14 year old school girl.

Well, in a perfect world you also wouldn't need keys, alarms, passwords or the police. Unfortunately some people will abuse their freedoms.

@Gianni89:

<–- NOTE: Nothing sexist in that comment, if you know any ACTUAL 14 year old girls you know that is a statement of relevant fact. I have a little sister, I have seen first hand.

The mere fact I felt compelled to add that last part. :-X

Don't get me started, please 

Botham Jean was killed while doing nothing because officer Amber Guyger walked into what she thought was her own place and mistook him for an intruder and shot him.
https://edition.cnn.com/2018/09/13/us/dallas-police-shooting-protests/

So many wrongs with this story. But the most important question is what drugs was she on not to notice the difference!?
Speaking of which, the department is now trying to smear the guy saying he had marijuana.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45525275

Even if he were sniffing meth out of a prostitute's arse, she shouldn't have walked into his place — at least without a warrant — and shot him in the dark!!
This is frightening and disheartening and the department trying to save one of their own at all costs in this case is disgusting.
