    Before you get on your high horse that’s not what I said.

    I said that a lot of these people are protesting without having a common cause on what they are protesting for. And that it is creating deep fractures in our society.

    But don’t let a fact get in the way of your keyboard rage, grab your pitchfork, jump down the throat of anyone who you think is pro Israeli, and make sure to throw in a WW2 or Nazi reference.

    Or perhaps consider that your response is exactly what I was talking about, and it’s this kind of rant that is dividing us.

    I encourage a good discussion, sharing of ideas/opinions, perhaps you’ll change peoples minds but instead you resort to a “you’re wrong and I’m gonna call you names”

    And for the record, I still haven’t said I’m pro war cos I’m not. What I’ve said is I am disappointed in the people in this country with how they have responded to it.

      Wow, internet person… I never ever called you names or said you are pro-war.

      I’d rather have a not-so-clear-about-the-issue protester than whatever excuse for doing nothing you are proposing.

      Dont let perfect be the enemy of good.

        You just tied my ‘logic’ to the thinking and people of ‘WW2’

        That’s a form of name calling and not a constructive discussion point there. It was your way of suggesting that one of us is above or below the other.

        And again I did not say ‘do nothing’ as you suggest. But again don’t let a good fact get in the way of your ranting.

        But that’s fine, keep contributing to dividing society and in ten years time when half the country hates the other half, just remember you contributed to making it that way.

          Half the country already hates the other half. Wake the fuck up!

          You are suggesting that the half that has good intentions does nothing because they are not organised or clear about the motives.

          Also, please stop fabricating ways to victimise yourself to win an argument.

          Make your case instead.

            What a great argument, the horse has bolted so crack the whip and ensure it never comes back.

            Fabricating ways to victimise myself? I said you resort to name calling, which you did, and I called you out on it.

            If you took the time to read past the first line, you’d see I have made my case, several times now. But your clearly disinterested and your aggressive tone suggests you would rather shout at whoever you think is different, than have a mature discussion.
