poirot: Jayb likes to refer to himself as a "simple-minded bigot (who am I to argue:)

poirot, you were quite explicit. YOU called me a Simple Minded Bigot.(name calling) How convenient of you to forget.

I, merely wish to remind you of that fact when I post, after you have avoided, deflected or deliberately misconstrued someone's post, as is your habit every time.

Jayb,

Please post a link to where I explicitly "called" you a "simple-minded bigot"

As opposed to generalising about simple-minded bigots.....and you taking on the description as a personal aside.

(I'm happy to acknowledge my error if you can produce it:)

Bigotry is when ALL the members of a particular demographic are painted the same way.

Personally, I object to my comments being used to support bigotry.

It IS true that women are turned into secondary citizens by men. Men from every group; not all men from any one group. Many men don't do this.

You are not defending women by making claims like that; you are only expressing bigotry. And bigotry, like sexism, is very bad for society and certainly does require a certain simple mindedness. e.g. Them is all bad; Us is all good.

No country or community ever advanced with views like that.

Further, this country's legal system is predicated on the notion of innocence until proven guilty. We DON'T convict someone because we WANT them to be guilty; we DON't convict a whole demographic because of the actions of one individual.

Lexi, are you implying the Murdock fish wrapper, The Daily Telegraph, could be guilty of sensationalism, misleading reporting and be bias in some way? Next thing we know you will be saying Allan Jones and Piers Akerman are bias commentators who favor the conservatives. LOL"
I am a common sense bigot" so said sonofgloin. But if you want to claim the same title Jayb, feel free. Indi are you putting your hand up as well?
Poirot, here is a thought provoking and shocking statistic for you; Do you know that 127% of males under the age of 95, with a Lapplandic ancestor on their paternal grandmothers side, living in the town of Bourke are six and a half times more likely to rape a goanna under the age of six, on a Sunday afternoon than are 72 year old males with the surname Smith living in the town of Oodnadatta, its been put down to a cultural thing, very common amongst Lapplanders, no respect for goannas . I thought you would be shocked by that stat, you can check it all out at the crap-a-lot web site, if you don't have access to the internet then you can read all about it in The Daily Telegraph. LOL

jcro, "And bigotry, like sexism, is very bad for society and certainly does require a certain simple mindedness. e.g. Them is all bad; Us is all good.

So you would be up in arms against the White Ribbon Campaign that labels men and boys as potential threats to women and girls and denies the truths that men are the most common victims of violence and that women also also violent and often it is their menfolk who are the victims?

Why don't women sign pledges not to harm men? But you would likely see no reason for that.

It is freedom of speech that protects, not the censorship of political correctness which is the creature of those with a secondary agenda to serve.

While most would agree that the accused should not be denied the presumption of innocence, it is censorship and the prospect of defamation suits that protect the wrongdoers against scrutiny.

jcro: we DON't convict a whole demographic because of the actions of one individual.

No we don't, but we do with the entire Middle East & anywhere there are Muslims. For that is their Custom, Tradition & they are bound to it by their Sharia Law. Are you a nice piece of filthy meat, dear?

poirot: Please post a link to where I explicitly "called" you a "simple-minded bigot"

Well I do have to admit it wasn't me personally or specifically. It was anyone who disagreed with your view on just how wonderful Muslims are & what a benefit they will be for Australia when they have Sharia Law in Australia. It was about 3 discussions ago. You did say that we were all (those that disagreed with your view)Simple Minded Bigots. I took that as you were including me as usual. That's when I started to add the Tag line. Sweetie. ;-) Just to remind you of your thing about "Name Calling." XXXOOXXXOO

Remember what Iftikhar said. Quote, "Iftikhar: We would like to confirm again that we practising Muslim believers will never ever adopt or integrate into all these "destructive and immoral values":

Like respecting Women.
