The General Political Thread

[StevenChilton]

I do hope you aren't a frequent reader of the The Intercept 

Lol no, it was just the first place to report it. I mainly get my daily news from the BBC and CBC, and in-depth analysis from blogs.

~10 Catholic blokes seem to cause quite the stir in the Netherlands with their presence. I love to see civil discussion where one side wears masks and attack the others. Was a good meme

That's actually in my city, just in front of the train station. Even see a few guys I actually know personally, and the guy I voted for last two elections.

'Gezin in gevaar' is such a meme. "I'm confronted with people being different every day!!11  ". The whole protest was against Suitsupply because they made an advertisment with a gay couple. So what do they want? Gay people to become invisible? It's retarded, and truly nobody cares. I wouldn't call 30 people on a saturdayafternoon a 'stir'.


I actually found their written report

Roughly 150 pro-homosexual counter-demonstrators, many of them masked,

Hahaha 150. Never. Never ever. Even if you count all the press, police, protesters and counterprotesters, there weren't more then aprox. 50.

Protesting the gay advertisement was a bit much but masked half-men attacking you is probably worse in a country built on DEMOCRACY. I  think it sets a bad model for Antifa to be a worldwide thing considering what they do and the values they are walking all over.

in a country built on DEMOCRACY

Our country was built on tax avoidance and the freedom to force everyone to believe in a very specific branch of Protestantism. The whole democracy thing didn't come in until...well, never.

I have trouble feeling any form of pity for people whose goal in life is to strip me of my rights so that they can feel better about themselves. I have this argument with Christians a lot.

Actually it was built on the sea.

(double entendre, gettit?)

Someone call the boys over at Guinness, we've got another one for the book.

I'd think our current pope is more of a danger to Catholic values than a group of masked Dutch queers. I understand your argument in regards to civil discourse, though.

What is wrong with current Pope?  Is he following words of Jesus to much instead of made up shit priests came up in middle ages?

I thought those were the same thing

I'd recommend watching from 4:10 onwards, interesting stuff indeed

Current pope is garbo

Tommy Robinson has been granted bail. "At the Court of Appeal, Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett ruled the case be reheard as there had been technical flaws by the judge who jailed him."

Safe to say I didn't see this coming.

So you're free to 3d print guns in the US again.. yay?
"Realistically" speaking as the technology gets better, soon you could probably pass a metal detector and shoot up an airport (or hijack a plane) before your weapon breaks.
Obviously you'd be limited in the size of the gun you can use since I don't think it could pass the x-ray but still.
