I hope you get Boris Johnson as leader. Him and Trump can have a hair-off.

It would be pretty funny if Boris Johnson became the PM.

You are a madman.

She hasn't been wrecked yet. As I said, there is such a thing as the Shy Tory Effect.

Presently the commentators are all "if the exit polls are right blah blah blah hung parliament oh my etc." so yeah, in a few hours, we can start talking about her failure in more solid words.

Still not brilliant even if she ekes out a majority: she called the election to increase her majority when she had a 25 points lead that she manage to evaporate.

Hey man, don't knock the strong and stable leadership.

I will +1 that.

Then again, I just want the two most recent Tory leaders to have resigned in shame because it's funny.

Conservative's traditionally don't poll well, usually 3 or 4 points below what was actually reported. 'scuse me, that didn't make sense. They poll 3 or 4 points below what they usually get.

But if those exit polls are accurate, holy fuck indeed. Mrs. May dropped the ball, presumably somewhere in a field of wheat.

Theresa May admits to being an edge lord in her youth.

Some of those tweets are highly entertaining.

... for srs? How does it not?

The only thing not WIFOM-y about it is that doll'll die as a direct result of the claim, whether it's true or not.

Are you going to go into any detail with your reads or answer any of the questions that were directed at you from before, FoU?

That assumes first generation immigrants. What of second generation and beyond? What if they only have citizenship of the "host" country?

So... everything is money/capital and hippy culture from the 60s?

Is it merely the timeline you object to, that the things that are tried don't stop the extremists in their tracks immediately, right now, not a second longer?

'Cause, I mean, you just seem to think that genocide will stop things. You mentioned this earlier:

You can't kill an idea with bullets, but you can certainly stop the people who spout it.

You can kill some of the people that spout the message at any one time. We live in a media world, though. Those killings will be reported.

"Why were these people killed?" you might hear.

"They believed the West hates them." will be the retort.

"Perhaps they have a point. What else did they say?"

You can't kill an idea, man.

Man, I worked hard on that post...

If it makes you feel any better, providing people with knowledge and information that challenges their belief just makes them more likely to believe what you're arguing against. Lagslayer seems to think that an eye for an eye is the way forward, regardless of who or how many are made blind.
Everything else has been tried, to disasterous effect. Doing the same shit over and over and expecting a different result is foolish.

Perhaps you can come up with some examples? Everything encompasses a lot of things, after all.

Eye-for-an-eye is guaranteed to end eventually, when someone runs out of eyes, or gets tired enough of losing them.

I (eye) imagine it'll be when the world turns it's eyes upon they that is doing all this eye-gouging and puts a stop to it.

To end my metaphor, I don't think wholesale murder is something that everyone finds tenable. The phrase "who'll be next" will come up a lot.
