  1. This ladies and gentlemen is the extent of twisted false equivalence we are dealing with.
  2. Trump cannot win the presidency without the votes of moderate Republicans and swing voters. The criminal trials absolutely undermine his ability to garner the votes of these moderates.
  3. Found guilty in open court by juries, and imprisoned for their crimes. Explain what is shocking about that.
  4. Scampton has a long history of hosting refugees. Polish, Belgian, French, Dutch refugee airmen served at Scampton during WW2. Some never left and are buried in local graveyards.
  5. Offering aid and comfort to insurrectionists.
  6. All support remains north of 60%, seemingly the targets of the Republican Culture wars aren’t getting the message. Those targets being would be Republican Voters. So not even 40% of all Americans are onboard with the rightwing Transphobia messaging.
  7. The Judge hasn’t dismissed the charges, he’s set them aside on the basis of the wording of the charges not being sufficiently specific. They may be reworded and resubmitted. The main RICO charges were left in place with no requirement to reword. Hope springs eternal.
  8. I’ve never dealt with ‘a regime’, I have however dealt with very many ordinary Saudis. My experience is they are no less liberal than anyone else in any of the many countries I’ve lived and worked. A couple of Saudis I’ve had the pleasure to know are amongst the most liberal and thoughtful people I’ve met anywhere. Ate there problems, of course there are. Is there any excuse to tar all Saudis/Arabs/Muslims with those problems, of course there is not.
  9. My goodness, you are on a wriggle… agsin.
  10. I can assure you many women drive in Saudi Arabia, the Bedouin women in particular. Its not at all income to see women in Jeddah (which is in Mecca Province) their faves and hair un covered. Have you ever been to Saudi Arabia?
  11. At odds with my experience of a priest visiting our camp to hold service and to on one occasion give the last rights to a dying South African. Certainly at odds with the Christmas tree and decorations put up in our mixed Saudi Expat office.
  12. No, but my experience of living and working in Saudi Arabia and other places across the Middle East persuade me of the fallacy in the statement I experienced very little ‘intolerance’ in Saudi Arabia, indeed I see far more expressed on this forum than ever I came across anywhere in the Middle East. Arabs are famously hospitable, the Saudis especially so. Perhaps it’s that ‘face to face’ thing.
  13. So now you are shifting the parameters. From: To: Do you want add a requirement to read any references made within the 136 linked report or shall we just stick to the ‘article’ it being the basis of your original claim of being less biased?
  14. Equating other people’s views to a well worn form of excusing Hitler is definitely my idea of trolling.
  15. Your claim the CPS ‘article’ was more balanced. I’ve explained why it wasn’t. Sorry no more time for your pedantry today.
  16. There are Jews and definitely a Rabbi in Saudi Arabia.
  17. I did read the whole article hence my comment. The Guardian article is a broader view and was not subject to the CPS checks to ensure it met the COS requirements wrt what the COS wishes to be said about the COS on the COS website. It goes under the heading ‘journalism’, not ‘public image management’.
  18. I read the OP. I read your post too. Lived and worked in Saudi, got the T-shirt.
  19. There is nothing fake out my disgust with your comment. Or indeed your inability to withdraw it and apologize. Utterly disgraceful behavior on your part.
  20. The CPS article on the report on the CPS published by the CPS on the CPS website. Balanced?
  21. What I get JingJing is this: That utterly disgraceful comment tells me exactly how much ‘good faith’ you are engaging in.
  22. The forum rules prohibit me from saying exactly what kind of disgrace that statement is. Especially since only today I have refuted a claim by another member on this forum that Hitler did anything good.
  23. I didn’t cherry pick, I summarized a single post you made. Here it is, ‘good faith’ sections underlined: with us or against us right there. Ad hominem right there. You yourself set a lit us test, refer ‘any Jew willing to… ‘above. You mis represent the marches, refer the Tim Adam’s’ article I linked, his first hand experience and the experiences of the maned Jews he quotes. Oh but you don’t accept that because Tim Adams and the named Jews he quotes fail your ‘litmus test’.
