De Irish Times 'all men are bastards' thread

[Swanforthelough]

It depends on what side of the fence you fall on, I generally read a lot of political commentary there, some I agree with, some I don't. But I like to read it regardless and people shouldn't be silenced because of the political divide they fall on. Twitter did this in the last American election and was quite blatant about.
Trump deserved to be banned for incitement around the Capitol riots but equally so does the dude from Iran who's name escapes me, what he did was as bad if not worse and nothing happened. Twitter banned people for what they say on other platforms, podcasts etc, that goes beyond their remit if you ask me.
By the way I would be of the same opinion on this site, I see morons hearing calling for the likes of Rebels or lately King Silkbeard to banned because of the differing (if not mental opinions) Take them on and prove them wrong with facts or ignore them but running to Mammy to complain is pathetic.

If Musk get's rid of the bots and it was rumoured that you will need to prove identity before registering then these are two big improvements.

Grand Ayatollah and the Taliban still have their Twitter accounts.

I can't possible think why anyone would want to get me banned, I have only ever engaged in debate, some others however have been spamming, I don't even go near the Russia Ukraine thread, I know when discussions become too heated and counter productive.

Maeve Higgins: In reality, Elon Musk is just another idiot with too much money

Being stupid is one thing; being stupid and powerful is another, much worse, scenario

Tedious woman talks down achievements of Musk.

I guess she doesn't use Paypal. Which she doesn't mention.

Electric cars, Space X, Twitter, yada yada.

What is it with the Times and its subsidiaries not wanting people free to express themselves?

Maybe she is stupid, she sounds stupid, and she looks stupid, so yeah she is probably stupid.

You just described basically every woman

Only a very, VERY stupid woman would go out with me

[King Silkbeard]

He's hardly a stupid man if he has so much money and can buy Twitter, sent rockets to space and so on.
