Also instead of ban hammering can we just get badges? Racist badge, fascist badge, "i get my news from Drudge Report" badge, etc.

Or instead of coming in here and calling us racists and fascists, make a point and say why we're wrong. Good points were made in this thread on both sides and I've refined my views. I'm always open to facts.

This forum needs more reasonable people and less low-effort trolls and morons.

If you read the thread then you would know I dismantled the all-too-charitable notion that there are competing reasonable views here a few pages in. What you call an exchange of views is really just a bunch of bone heads trotting out their jingoism and xenophobia, indulging in peurile pleasure, and then donning a tone of moderation later on to feel better about themselves. This conversation is not virtuous. If you want to educate yourself read real news

What I mean to say is that when you have a pro-assad propagandist and an unreconstructed racist ranting post after post, discourse has not been earned. Derision is appropriate.

So, badges.

It was indeed a gotcha question, as in, you were talking out of your ass and I got ya.

The nations working with Assad are themselves authoritarian nations. He has bombed his own territory, created the worst refugee crisis in decades and employed chemical weapons against his own people.

Now if these things fail to move you, so be it. If you are ignorant of them, go do your homework.

You use the news to educate yourself and you're calling me a bone head? The news is for being notified about an event that happens, not telling you how to think, in spite of all your American conditioning to the contrary. I read plenty of pro-Muslim editorials on Al-Jazeera but I balance it out with what I know and what is empirically verifiable about the world, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on this forum who has provided a shitload of facts supporting my assertions about Muslims.

If you respond to someone spewing ignorant hate by flattering them with calm, patient replies, they walk away thinking that they have participated in a conversation. It's bad reinforcement. That's how free speech works - you get to say what you want, and you get to be marginalized as a result.

[Rastignac]

Putting aside the fact the polls of public opinion in the United States paint an equally horrifying picture (among people whose level of education and freedom from conflict should have produced a kinder outlook on life), let's entertain your statistics.

What about the majorities in each case who do not share those hateful opinions? What about, in the case of your first citation, the 80% of British Muslims who do not sympathize with the 7/7 bombers? Should they be denied tolerance?

and by the way "it's time to stop tolerating those who don't deserve tolerance" is literally a perfect definition of fascism.

you have earned your badge, sir.

Ah so you've shown by algebra that Muslims are nefarious! What's the next step?

So does this response suggest you consider statistics to be hateful?
