You can't sit on the fence about any issue; no middle ground is to be had, as they push you onto the "other side" they are opposite of. Even if you basically agree, but aren't quite there on a few details, forget it, you're still a Trump-supporting Dirty NoGoodNic.
I saw your post concerning Tylenol. Simple and to the point. For lack of a better term, a post with common sense and just some cation moving forward.
I saw it resulted in replies I refer to in my own mind as manifestos. Why does every post turn into a manifesto?
Anyway. By chance, I just looked at SKY news this morning out of sheer curiosity. Read about the horrible synagogue attack. Found it sad and disheartening. And strange none of the UK contingent that seems to post on everything USA didn’t bother with a thread.
And when they did post in a thread on the topic, it just seemed like scripted outrage. God, please forgive for being judgmental. It was a a terrible attack. But no effort given on a UK prospective. Outrage? Sad? Need to take a stand. Or just part of the landscape now? No effort at citing facts. One UK person posted a link to a video. Still not the same as citing actual facts, and concerns. No questioning if the person acted alone or had help, and how deep is the rot. If it was tied to other recent events in Germany.
