A similar group of people are upset at the signs in California highlighting works projects done with the new Gas Tax money (SB 1) that's up for repeal in November. Their argument is that if people see the projects that are benefiting f

"> Never again would taxpayers have to worry about the IRS filling out a Form 1040 for them against their will." Because this is an actual problem for some people?

I'm willing that in the vast majority of cases they do, and the small minority of cases where they don't isn't a good enough reason to not do this. Especially because, if you do fall into that case, you can just file your tax

If it's actually a fact, then you don't get to agree or disagree with it.

I fail to see how this is an argument against making this an option, though.

They already do. How does anyone here think they verify things? They already have all the information. It's absolute idiocy and stubbornness that causes people to think that they shouldn't be able to do that.

"Where, pray tell, is the proper place to engage with these people as fellow human beings then in your opinion?" Somewhere not blocked by the anonymity of the internet. When online, especially at a place like Gab, or even Twitter,

Because the people who are there are the ones who agree with that vile toxicity. "we looked at what they're saying and what's caused them to feel a need to say it." While that might be needed, Gab is not the place to do

But because of those, other groups whom the Nazis and other alt-right groups would have targeted are more free to participate in the conversation.

Characterizing this kind of thing as just "I don't like what you said" is not being honest with your argument.
525.
by s73v3r_ 8y ago
Yeah, no. People will see the vile toxicity right up front (it's not hidden at all there), and they'll leave in 5 minutes.

Yeah, I don't buy that. If Stormfront and Daily Stormer can still be up, then there can't really be any credibility to that argument.

That equating homosexuality with being an alt-right troll is completely disingenuous to the point of being insulting.

And if they continued hosting, I would point an Azure sales rep to these groups as a reason why I would not engage with them.

No, you're being pointed out that you're wrong. That "more speech" doesn't help, and can actually get people killed.

That's a very nice platitude, but as reality has shown, it's a terrible rule.

Or, it could be that the two things being compared have entirely different contexts to them, and thus do have different rules.

"Why is that a problem? " Ask the parents of children murdered at Sandy Hook.

So tell me how the "refuting" of the idea that Sandy Hook was a hoax caused the harassment of parents of children murdered there to stop?

Someone who works for a startup has already been "investing" in their company for over 3-6 months by the time the company gets to IPO. I find it quite unconscionable that they should be prevented from realizing the fruits of their
