Why has it become "uncool" to enforce the law?

Miles, I'm talking about you and your new personality. The racism, the sexism, the xenophobia. You're retreating to the question of border security to avoid what I'm really talking about--and I think you know what I'm really talking about because you aren't stupid. But you just aren't ready or willing to admit it to yourself.

Allow me to address these accusations of Xenophobia....


pho·bi·a
/fōbēə/
noun
an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.


#1. I am not afraid of other cultures
#2. My "aversion" of some cultures is far from irrational...is it "irrational" to actively despise a culture that sees using suicide bombers as a good thing? Is it "irrational" to dislike a religion whose practitioners believe in killing those who don't believe in that religion?



The ironic thing is that politicians who lament "name calling" are all too willing to say their opponent is a ______-a-phobe. And I'm sorry I believe OUR culture here in the west was all about freedom of speech, expression, and debating ideas rather than attempting to shut down conversation by labeling opponents as racist, sexist, or xenophobic......plenty of cultures have issues and a culture that literally wants me dead, YES I TAKE ISSUE WITH THAT! And fucking Hell no I'm not Xenophobic! I'm pretty fucking far from it!

Topsy turvy world, up is down, down is up left is right, black is white....absolute insanity

I'm not talking about this particular thread.

I'm talking about you Miles.

I've said my bit. I wish you the best with your curmudgeonly life.

I am the one sticking to thread topics rather than character assassination via the dreaded PC -ism's. This amateur psychology is a diversion and a distortion and you know it. I live in a different culture and interact mostly with people of a different race. There isn't much denial going on there except in your mind.
