Beware fact checking websites

Greg Hook

Since the OP was banned from the Trump thread as he claimed yesterday (true?), this thread looks like he wants a bit of sideways action.

Surprised he wasn't in the Syria thread. Although on that subject most of the alt-right are slagging the Donald off big time. So a little conflicted perhaps?

Hilarious thread. It's like talking to a brick wall.

What is it with people in the politics and economy forum that post something, then when they have got it wrong can't accept it and keep quoting people but ignoring the relevant parts that go against their agenda.

As adults it's very easy to have a sensible debate even on something as emotive as politics, but you need to accept firstly that other people might have a different opinion than you and also that your opinion doesn't make something a fact. Plus when presented with the correct information, that needs to be taken on board and not ignored.

While I agree that the op is misrepresenting the organisation's aims, this type of attitude, imo, doesn't help. It's condescending and only leads to people digging their heels in deeper.

It'd be much more productive to leave emotion out of it and dismantle innacurate statements analytically and factually. If people on all sides adopted a zero tolerance approach to opinions/statements they don't agree with society overall would get nowhere.

And as already stated, I disagree with the op's inferences as to what the organisation is all about.

He was suspected of having an agenda in there and I asked him to prove he was actually in Mexico before posting in there again.

Your posting style and sudden appearance in P&E were suggestive of you being a re-registration. I was not alone in those suspicions.  Nothing to do with whether we agree or disagree.  Proof that you were posting from Mexico would have completely dispelled those suspicions.  Simple as that.

You can chip in for my electricity bill if you want?

You'll need help paying for that wall too
