The thing about Soros is of course that he is spending money on supporting an ultra neo liberal worldview that the FT would definitely agree with.

Not that surprising an award therefore.

How do they do that if they are not mods?
By shut down debate do you mean replying and challenging views?

I think it's mostly done via certain mods allowing their trusty sidekicks to post the kind of horse**** that they would jump down anyone else's throats for

Eventually, the other side responds in kind and, quelle suprise, our trusty mod swoops in.

Here's a random post that I'm quoting for no reason whatsoever:

I've often seen it myself, people getting away with insult's etc
And when you pm a mod about why you got carded,they basically tell you to read the charter, but you read the charter and explain to the mod I'm wondering why I was banned,and someone's else wasn't, they extend the ban for longer if you don't stop badgering the mod...

A YouTube guy told me boards.ie is state owned or something of interest to the state or something, I'm not sure what the agenda is for banning certain people.

I cannot understand why people report members either, after all we're all keyboard warriors one way or the other...

Speaking for myself really, but at the end of the day, it's only a forum for debate and Banter.

And when I ask about others not getting infractions, I don't mention any user name or any thing that would identify people I'm responding to...... I just wonder why some people are allowed get away with a lot of insult's etc...

The term 'liberal' does not mean what it describes.

A better term for liberals would be 'redistributors' or 'alterationists' : they believe in changing existing orders for morally good reasons, taking existing power structures and redistributing the power involved in such systems.

Conservatives are self-descriptive, they want things to stay the way they are. This is why the far-right should not be confused with conservatives. Nationalist-socialists want major change, they just want different change from that of the left-wing 'redistributors'.

Conservative and so-called liberal are neither inherently good or bad ideologies, but you have people willing to defend any bizarre illogical shíte because the ends are typically used to suit the means, and most people are hypocrites. Also, don't forget that people want to feel good about themselves, so will typically hold onto a faith that they think will make them out to be one of the 'good guys', both publicly, and personally.

I paint my face black,call myself George Weah and pretend i was once European Footballer of the Year.
Does that make me a racist homophobe anti semitic brexiteer or a vegan neo liberal snowflake.

I don't really see the problem of being uncivil towards people who want to kill and dehumanize you, this is why I support deplatforming because if the rightist had the scale of power the ‘left’ (i.e sane) people have then they would constantly call for the death of non-whites and homosexuals lets say.

There seems to be a trend of those who claim to be liberal but are completely intolerant of those who dont share their own world outlook. They are liberal as long as you agree with them but if anyone so much as strays from their own group think they are attacked, slandered and censored. Why are so many self proclaimed liberals in favour of tighter censorship laws and clamping down on freedom of speech, which is an essence of a true liberal society. Surely being liberal means supporting free speech whether you agree with it or not. The fact is liberalism is about supporting free speech and expression and opposing censorship which is the exact opposite to what so many who claim to be on the liberal spectrum have proposed. It seems liberalism has been hijacked by SJWs and college students, in favour of identity politics which is anything but liberal. Its time real liberals stood up and defended the true liberal values of freedom of speech and democracy.

Christian society cultural leave over.

It comes from christian history. You have to believe the same thing to be a part of the family. It is why you had so many separations of the church that were so violent.

It wasn't possible for someone to believe in authority of the pope and for another person not to and still pray in the same church.

Other religions allow diversity of belief its not what you believe its how you ACT.

In christianity its faith that gets you into heaven.

In Lutheranism and Calvinism, righteousness from God is viewed as being credited to the sinner's account through faith alone, without works.

And of course there is hell and shame for not believing the correct thing.

I think its called 'sole fide'.

To Catholics, justification is "a translation, from that state wherein man is born a child of the first Adam, to the state of grace, and of the adoption of the sons of God, through the second Adam, Jesus Christ, our Savior",[16] including the transforming of a sinner from the state of unrighteousness to the state of holiness. This transformation is made possible by accessing the merit of Christ, made available in the atonement, through faith and the sacraments.[17] The Catholic Church teaches that "faith without works is dead"[18][19] and that works perfect faith.[20]

So for Catholics (most people in Ireland) what you believe and YOUR VIEWS are just as important as what you DO what you BELIEVE MAKES YOU A GOOD OR A BAD PERSON just as much as what you do.

That is not the same in every culture.

So i believe its a cultural thing in western society and nothing to do with politics. Remember there were WARS between different Christian groups over BELIEF alone.

I dont have an issue if people believe different things to me its how you act. I can be around people who believe whatever. Its how they treat people ..and in particular how they treat me or people around them.

Perhaps in very close relationships you need similar values etc. But different beliefs don't make you a bad or good person.

So much energy has been spent crying about Trump since 2015 when he announced his candidacy.

It's actually quite amazing the reaction he has provoked.

Imagine what these people could have achieved if they had put as much energy into a genuinely useful direction.

What have they actually achieved? All that crap about Russiagate and tens of millions wasted for a report that says sweet **** all.

They don't even have a decent candidate for 2020.

Trump must be laughing his hole off at them.

There is a lot of truth in that. I hate Trump. But it was obvious as early as a year ago they wouldn't find collusion in a legal sense. And in any case impeachment would not be a great idea.

They should have drawn their battle lines over the supreme court.

They have just blown smoke over the last 2 yrs because they refuse to admit the American voter did a really nasty thing.

With a disclaimer that I've only read the first and last pages of this thread, I think the OP is failing to distinguish between colloquial 'liberals; and classical liberals.

Classical liberals believe in your right to say, or do, anything so long as it does not interfere with the rights of others.

Modern liberals insist (pretty correctly, in my view) that although your freedoms are very important, they often impact upon the rights of others, and ought to be constrained.

Modern liberalism, for all the ridicule it receives, is why one-off bungalows are not allowed to be built in Corca Dhuibhne. That's modern liberalism at work.

Yup, there is not a single country in the world where you have the absolute right to freedom of speech.

If your right to freedom of speech is conflicting with my right to be safe from violence, society has to make a call as to which right takes precedence.

And most rational people think a person’s physical safety is more important than a person’s right to say whatever they want.

Franz Von Peppercorn II · 04-06-2019 8:54pm

The only thing that Trump is doing is exposing US power. I admire the honesty if not the bullying, which went on anyway behind the scenes.

The NHS and the chlorinated chickens? In the US trade meetings with the EU these were on the table too, the difference was that if you asked Obama about it in public he’d bat the question away, while trump is honest.

The man is an ass in many ways and wholly unsuited to being president for so many reasons yet I am not one bit surprised he was elected.

The Democrats under Obama became incredibly smug and lorded their moral superiority over everyone. Their contempt for huge swathes of the American electorate, many of whom are suffering economic hardship, turned into outright hatred under Clinton's campaign.

Trump simply exploited the anger of the rust-belt Republicans and rural voters who rightfully felt that they were despised by Democrats.

Clinton and her supporters just cannot accept that Trump outfoxed them.

And in doing that, they are handing him re-election on a plate.

Well, er yes. But what’s considered violence to people has changed over time from actual threats to criticism.
