MigL Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I don't know whether I gave Dimreepr the +1 or J Jefferies. ( or neither messenger, but the message ) I have never argued against the rule of law. That's what separates us from the ISIS a*sholes. Edited February 26, 2019 by MigL

Jim Jefferies is hilarious and hes a genius at crossing the line while keeping integrity.

I never said that's what I wanted. Dimreeper is in the habit of saying some random statement that ultimately means nothing. I was replying in turn. If you're gonna call me out for it being irrelevant, then call him out on it too.

Was this directed at me? If so, will you please clarify how what I said has made you feel that I’m treating you differently, as that most certainly was not my intent. 21 minutes ago, dimreepr said: An innocent child is dead, does that mean nothing? I don’t think that’s fair. Raider was not saying deaths of children are irrelevant. He said many of your replies are.

MigL Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Maybe they should add the charge of negligence or child endangerment to the list of many charges against her. If she had stayed in England, the National Health system would have looked after her baby and I'm sure it would have survived her stupidity. When did society become responsible for people's stupidity ? Is there no personal accountability anymore ? IOW, why does Dimreepr expect everyone to feel responsible because the mother was negligent ? ( compassion is one thing, but culpability and excusing the behavior are totally different ) But that's just the opinion of a foreigner.
John Cuthber Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 At least part of the responsibility lies with the home secretary who acted illegally. The existence of things like consulates shows that states really are responsible for their citizens and, legally, the baby was a UK citizen with the right to access care under the NHS. It wasn't Shamima who blocked that. But the really silly idea is that her action several years before the child was born counts as endangering the child.
iNow Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, iNow said: I wasn’t calling you out for being irrelevant Hmm. Actually, I did. Derp. Don’t mind me. Broader point was that her feelings and comments aren’t relevant to whether or not we stand up for human rights. We either offer the same protections to everyone... even those we dislike or disagree with... or we don’t apply them consistently and are no better than those we do easily call evil. Principles matter. Edited March 9, 2019 by iNow
MigL Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I don't follow John... "But the really silly idea is that her action several years before the child was born counts as endangering the child" Actions have consequences. Sometimes there is a delay in the consequences. I might choose to, and am responsible for, getting drunk. If I then drive, and hit a pedestrian several hours later, I am still responsible for having gotten previously drunk. If I build an unsafe house, and several years later, it collapses and kills a child, am I not responsible for being negligent and endangering that child ? I am the one who would have endangered the child, not society. The fact that her actions put her child in a disadvantaged situation is no reason to absolve her guilt by making society feel sorry for her, as Dimreepr seems to be suggesting. ( and if I have that wrong dimreepr, perhaps you can stop with the one-liners, and elaborate ) 1

The child was entitled to care under the NHS. She tried to make that happen. If someone has children, and those children subsequently get killed by a drunk driver is it the parents' fault or the fault of the law breaker? Should nobody in any war zone ever have children? Should nobody ever have children because they may end up in a refugee camp? 1

Two issues. 1 kids do dumb things, but we don't hold it against them forever. 2 the position in which she finds herself (and which led to the death of the child) is due to the Home Secretary not following the law.
Samantha Priss Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I find it hard to support borders and laws when I see a crying brown child ten thousand miles away on my TV.
