Why don't they want to do it Dan? What reason could that be?

Maybe a lot of people in the US have a conscience.

Which is why they voted Trump in and are now deporting criminals

Lol. Yeah, sure. At least the midterms aren’t far away.

It’s almost like the terminally online right population of HOL hasn’t quite captured the current US zeitgeist.

More Americans view the ICE shooting in Minnesota as unjustified than say it is justified | YouGov

A slightly larger share of Americans are now in favor of abolishing ICE than are opposed to doing so

Imagine my shock (again).

All that tells you is that there's less pragmatism and balance from Democrats.

If you ask 100 Muslims and 100 Christians if being gay should be legal then the outcome will be

"More people think that being gay should be illegal".

Do you get it Dan? Statistics are hard I know but you even said why right here in the same post but didn't even realise.

Hold on, let me send this post on to YouGov - they’ll be distraught to know they’ve been flawed all this time.

Amazingly, there is no particular requirement to have to agree with a majority opinion. You don't agree with the majority here. Fair enough.

Who ever suggested there was?

It was just a simple statement about what the majority opinion is.

The majority here being in the minority on this issue is, or ought to be, instructive on where they are likely to be on other issues. Out of line!

I think it was pretty much implied. I don't really mind too much to be fair. But you must see some irony then in your opinion of Reform for example? Or the Brexit vote? Or perhaps the Trump election win? The majority are not necessarily correct are they? I should think that might be plain enough, no matter what opinion you have. And you are clearly free to have your opinion.

Wasting your time mate. It won’t be believed

What won’t be believed is that any injury was caused by an impact with Good’s car, because if there was one it was so slight it could not have even caused bruising.

The guy that scammed my insurers had a genuine injury which he claimed caused him to be unable to work for 18 months. Lots of hospital appointments and medical diagnoses. It just wasn’t caused by my car, but at work. He was laid off on SSP and saw the opportunity to boost his income.

Rogues exist.

Reform, Trump’s election, Brexit etc are all matters of political judgement. The shooting of an unarmed civilian by an unauthorised member of a hastily expanded pseudo military force, who have been deliberately sent to specific cities, which was recorded on videos is a matter of fact.

That some allow their political judgment to deny what their eyes show them means there will always be another, minority, opinion but the majority see the reality.

And Trump is responsible. Case closed.

Can you really not see any irony in this statement? It has been pointed out before.
There is little point in me going on about how opinions can be influenced by many factors, of which a large one would be bias. But, everybody has bias, it's just one of those things. I guess it could just be posted on every thread and I doubt we want a psychology thread. Or do we? It's not my field and I don't know much about it, but I feel I may be right.

No because they believed lies. And not good, approved, lies either.

It’s why I said “apparently” false. They do show something completely different to the videos posted immediately afterwards with an analysis of why they are fake, and how it was done. So they ought not be trusted, without some independent verification.

But the ones without him in front of the car are not fake I guess.
Ok I get it !
