Irish Marriage Equality Referendum Draws Near

[I AM MOBIUS]

Indeed, it's all completely backfired - he's basically admitting that he's a racist bigot.

I mean, just because he's deaf, he thinks he can get away with calling all deaf people morons...

But - at least he now agrees that he is a moron, so I guess that's progress!

[Ben Kenobi]

You used the term "prejudice" to describe it. You are literally claiming that prejudice is not prejudice!

*sigh*.

Why don't you actually address the question?

[Ben Kenobi]

he's basically admitting that he's a racist bigot.

Must be nice to be able to dismiss people you don't like by calling them 'racist'.

It's like the boy who cried wolf.

[Ben Kenobi]

What a great Christian.

You're a Christian? When's the last time you said something good about us?

[kentonio]

Must be nice to be able to dismiss people you don't like by calling them 'racist'.

It's like the boy who cried wolf.

So you mean for ages you've lied and denied being a racist and now you're admitting being a racist and not even you believe you?

[Ben Kenobi]

So you mean for ages you've lied and denied being a fine upstanding young gentleman and now you're admitting being a fine upstanding young gentleman and not even you believe you?

Flattery will get you everywhere!

[Sava]

Wow. And to think I was once your friend.

You were never my friend.

[rah]

He is quite delusional thinking he was once friends with a lot of people here.
But believing fantasies seems to be one of his things.

[DaShi]

I am not, never was, and never will be a friend of Ben's. I strongly recommend everyone be this way.

[Ben Kenobi]

You were never my friend.

Odd that. I seem to remember chatting with you and you coming to a different conclusion. You were the one who decided that it was ok to post private communications - when it suited you, you believed. Should I post yours? I don't care who you are, that's a ****ty thing to do.

[Ben Kenobi]

He is quite delusional thinking he was once friends with a lot of people here.

You're right. I was delusional at the thought that a kind gesture would be interpreted as just that a kind gesture.

Is prejudice a thought, or an action?

prejudice - an unfair feeling of dislike for a person or group because of race, sex, religion, etc.

Is it fair they were assaulted?

Of course not, its a crime... Is it fair to dislike black people if a black person assaulted you?

[Ben Kenobi]

prejudice - an unfair feeling of dislike for a person or group because of race, sex, religion, etc.

Well, there's nothing there stating that actions are racist, only feelings. That's not a great definition.

[Berzerker]

That definition came from Merriam Webster, complain to them... You're a Christian, Jesus warned about feelings, thoughts, the evil that resides in our hearts, these defile the bodily temple. If your unfair dislike of others leads to actions, then your actions are racist too, but they were preceded by prejudice.

Is it fair to dislike black people if a black person assaulted you?

[Ming]

Is it fair to dislike black people if a black person assaulted you?

The GREAT CHRISTIAN Ben thinks so...
