I used that for effect, to make a point, I don't see how that can be an ad hominem

you can take it as such if you want, but that's not what it is

And I'm saying I don't agree, and we're never going to convince each other of the other's position, so let's just agree to disagree and move on

the _position_ is irrelevant, again, like I said, for now, I only care that you presume my motives and call my argument an ad hominem

You know what? Fuck it, I'll give you this and change my argument so you finally shut up about this.

You didn't think it was an ad hominem, I just disagree entirely that it was a valid comparison to show absurdity.

Okay, does that work? Can we finally move on with our lives?

yes, of course

Okay, thank you.

"In one section of the Paris metro, drug dealing and abuse has gotten so bad that some train drivers are refusing to stop at stations. Following a bad year for accidents and assaults, the trade union that represents workers of Paris transit body RATP warned last week that the North Paris stations on Metro Line 12—notably Marx Dormoy, Porte de la Chappelle and Marcadet – Poissoniers—are now so overrun with people selling and smoking crack that drivers no longer feel safe dropping off or picking up passengers there."

"When it comes to public drug sale and use, something is still shifting, and conditions are getting worse. Last year, there were 850 service interruptions on Line 12, ..."

I wonder what the relative concentration of immigrants is in those areas compared to the rest of paris

On the matter of the posters thing, not going to argue validity at this point, I still don't know for sure,

there's been something new though, globalnews.ca decided to report on it

And unlike bunswickan, they're actually not so special that they'll hide half of the poster.

I'll admit that with that section boxed in red it does look a bit more like an SJW false flag near the bottom, I don't think the alt-right would allow themselves to ally with the natives, even if it were against muslims.

_the guardians_ numbers on france are worse than what wikipedia says, so it seems wikipedia is not a reliable source on islam/immigration in france

because the guardian would presumably lean towards the lowest numbers they could use

I thought wired was .. not fucked

but they are

"I had a view, and my view was this: Serial sexual abusers should submit to castration. Castration, I believed, would sideline the abuser’s compulsions and thus keep the world safe from him (or her lol)."

this person has written articles for wired since 2013, and literally writes "lol"

(that's about stormfront, is my guess)

"In the fall of 2016, Keegan Hankes, an analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center, paid a visit to the neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer. This was not unusual; part of Hankes’ job at the civil rights organization was to track white supremacists online, which meant reading their sites. But as Hankes loaded the page on his computer at SPLC’s headquarters in Montgomery, Alabama, something caught his eye: a pop-up window that announced “Checking your browser before accessing … Please allow up to 5 seconds.” In fine print, there was the cryptic phrase “DDoS protection by Cloudflare.” Hankes, who had worked at SPLC for three years, had no idea what Cloudflare was. But soon he noticed the pop-up appearing on other hate sites and started to poke around."

fucking figures, SPLC to the rescue

according to wired, they're a "prominent civil rights organization"

"According to the International Federation of Journalists, 80 journalists were killed in 2017, and a new report from the Committee to Protect Journalists documents that the number of journalists imprisoned around the world has reached 262, which is a new record. This total includes 21 reporters who are being held on "false news" charges."

what the fuck is this senator on about

"No politician will ever get to tell us what the truth is and is not. And anyone who presumes to try to attack or manipulate the truth to his own purposes should be made to realize the mistake and be held to account. "

I mean what

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

ACOSTA: Is that true, Mr. President?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: I want them to come in from everywhere — everywhere. Thank you very much, everybody.

"Facebook is a living, breathing crime scene for what happened in the 2016 election — and only they have full access to what happened," said Tristan Harris, a former design ethicist at Google.

"It makes me terrified that something that I had a small part in helping to build is being used by people with really bad intent against America," he said. "They don't have sides. They're just trying to sow chaos."

pathetic pandering to shitty religion, sweden yes!

`She says three main challenges hold them back: time, money and confidence. “I think if we can conquer those we’ll be starting more businesses.”`

I mean

I'm not sure what male founders would say are their three main challenges

I'm sure they wouldn't even think to mention those three things, actually, because they're so banal

they're not "challenges", they're just the basics that need to be in place

if I had an idea for something other than a basic import business, I probably wouldn't share it

but yeah, time money and confidence are necessary regardless of the junk between your legs...

my point was that if you walk up to a male founder after they've got the business started, and ask them "what were the 3 main challenges in getting the business started", they wouldn't even think about those 3 things

gotta keep the dialogue running, and the perceived injustices towards women vague, so feminism can keep justifying its pervasiveness

yes, hence why I said "amagad my feed is drowning in feminist propaganda", and the reason I didn't link any of them until someone else started it :P

useless drivel

well, I agree with you, I doubt anyone would even think to mention something so obvious

"Up to 700 migrants are in the area, despite the camp known as the "Jungle" having been dismantled in 2016."

I wonder how much of those 44 million are going towards calais, specifically

then I could divide it by 700 and reeeeeeee

I mean, 700, that's not as many as you'd think - how about just getting them the fuck to africa

Ask the French, we are holding our moat

err, no

"It will be spent on fencing, CCTV and infrared detection technology in Calais and other border points."

It's for the Lorries

They need the protection

yes because the migrants are _there_

I'm not sure if you're still arguing the same point or just spewing information

your government is sending your money to calais

for 700 migrants, who for some reason are allowed to stay there, and not shipped to africa

IT WAS OBAMA THAT DID THIS

yes already linked in breaking news more than once

REEEEEEEEERRR

@folk I’m just making fun of the people who said the economic growth was all due to obama

I don't know who those idiots might be, but one thing is absolutely certain; obama had less positive impact on the US than any other president

except clinton, possibly

Well there was the one who died 31 days into office

Noone reads breaking news nibba

then why have the channel?

They come here, read things that they have no context for, *then* go to breaking news to find out wtf is going on

Anyway

Are they building a flying saucer?
