A gun gesture with a hand constitutes as a death threat?
Someone should tell Lethal Bizzle.
Actually good post this is the overly PC thread.
Most have similar ones. We had a couple their members turn up to our philosophy society who started calling our female members whores, slags and all sorts of other names and telling them they're going to hell but we laughed them out of there and never saw them again.
It was more of a criticism of how, to you specifically, you view things void of any context, nuance or human emotion and it can only ever be construed as x. Which is nonsense. You do it with most other arguments. You look at the end result, take away any context or human nuance / common sense and accept the worst case scenario as truth. So you're in no real position to talk about communicating / discourse etc either.
He's an idiot for thinking its a death threat. A fool. And he does it to gain more traction and click bait.
You can't accuse me of viewing things out of context and without nuance by removing context and nuance from what I've said in previous threads. Unless you're simple.
Always have had so long as there's enough people to join in. No different to the Christian society, the Young Conservatives etc although I have to say the Isoc when I was at Uni way back were more fun than my other two examples.
You have a habit of doing it. You've done it before and you're doing it now.
So, by arguing that a protest, where security had to be called, is a bad place to use aggressive body language I'm making an argument devoid of context? I can forgive you boiling an argument in a different thread to something it wasn't, but I'm not gonna let you do it here.
See? Again - you aren't capable of discussing things rationally are you? You have to resort to abusing me to get your point across. It's terribly rich and ironic that you'd pass comment on proper decorum of discussion and debating when all you can do is resort to swearing and abusing the counter party. It really is pathetic and pretty darn tiring.
I'm only using the same tactics you're using. If you don't like abuse then don't dish it out.
Show me where I've abused you.
Rather than tackling the argument you decided to misrepresent me from a different thread and I didn't take that too kindly.
That's not abuse.
Being from a Muslim country where women, including my female relatives, are treated like dogs I have quite strong views on the subject and having my views misrepresented really pisses me off. If you honestly think you made a fair representation of what I think you need to read that thread again.
Ok - I don't quite understand the link between your background and the conversation we're having right now. What I said wasn't abusive, whereas being told to 'go feck yourself' obviously is abusive.
And I've had a stern telling off from above for that. Anyway, lets get off this. I'll stop calling swearing at you if you promise not to pretend you know what I think in the future.
Cool.
Yeah, it was clear that it being a couple of strong, intelligent women doing the talking was getting their goats up that little bit extra. They reacted in the only way they know how, by trying to bully them.
....
What's extra messed up here as well is both the feminist society and LGBT society taking the side of them, for the sake of actual feck!
Sorry to derail the thread, but have you seen the man in the high castle series. Just heard about it earlier tonight and it's directed by Ridley Scott.
Saw the pilot a few months back, but not got onto the full series yet (hopefully in the next couple of weeks). There's a thread in the entertainment forum on it!
The book is excellent!
Just saw that earlier. You're the go to PKD man!

Strange choice. She could have made history as part of the first all-white interracial cast.
It's not. It really can't be a death threat. It's intimidatory, maybe, but it's a very large leap to a death threat. So many youth / teens do the hand gun gesture to intimidate. Are we going to accuse them of making death threats now? What of all the grime artists that use it? Are they all making death threats?
