You're right, I am not a fan of misogyny.

When you gently caress people for money you're a whore, whether you're a man or woman. It's not a gendered insult.

It's misogynistic when being used to describe a promiscuous woman who has recreational sex for fun. But not if you're a prostitute. It's actually the correct use of the word then.

This is awful and I feel like you almost certainly know it's awful so should feel bad. If you're using more unpleasant terms than Richard Littlejohn to describe sex workers you've hosed up.

Yeah I don't really have anything else to add, but I kinda wanted to actually address some of his points rather than just making fun of his personal habits and wife's job. I know it's pretty dumb and I should know better, but occasionally I think that maybe I can change someone's mind on these, the something awful dot com comedy forums.

For what its worth I appreciate the effort you've made. Not sure if its just me but I am finding the constant shrieking that he's a racist fuckwit (despite it being true) tiresome.

That approach isn't going to convince him, or frankly anyone reading this who hasn't already made their mind up. How you get your point across is important - actually talking to someone, rather than shouting as a group at them, has a lot more chance of actually making a difference - may even make someone who is sympathetic to some of the things he has suggested reconsider...

No, it's a derogatory term for the profession. 'Sex worker' is the nice one.
Marx traditionally thought that sex workers were unlikely to ever achieve class consciousness and would be useless for the socialist cause, but the English Collective of Prostitutes and wider sex workers rights movement has shown many to be more aware of class than the majority of white collar workers who consider themselves middle class because they're not ditch diggers and then vote against their own interests.
The Labour Party seems incapable of differentiating between sex workers and victims of trafficking, abuse, or coercion, and thinks that even the willing ones need reeducation and their assets seizing.

Don't worry, that's just the number of affordable homes they're building in that development (if you can call 2 homes a development), overall they're building a grand total of... er... 29 new affordable homes for a borough of 267,000 people.

Also, 9 of them will be shared ownership so they will presumably immediately be leaving the stock of council houses.

Didn't David Cameron literally say "I think we're getting too hung up on all these definitions here. Affordable housing is a house that someone can afford to buy or afford to rent, that's it"

So as long as there's someone (ie russian, arab and chinese investors) buying the homes, they're affordable!!

No I didn't. Your liberal mind just conflates "Hey maybe we should at least attempt some kind of background check or something" with "All musselmen are misogynistic rapists". Islam is a misogynistic religion though, but that doesn't mean all muslims are. Just the ones who follow their holy scripture the closest.

Seems like you didn't read any of my posts discussing immigration to the united states and conditions here. You should though, they're much more interesting than the ones about refugees. Maybe I should do an A/T one of these days.

Tax credits don't count as benefits in the same way things like medicare and social security do, so they aren't required to be repaid by green card holders. Especially since I'm filing taxes joint married and my wife is a citizen, by far the largest part of the refundable tax credits I receive is due to her status as a full-time student.

I'm not going to go dig up your post, but you got HEAVILY called out by nearly everyone in the thread for posting articles about the increase in sexual assaults and then blaming Muslim men, and THEN arguing that Muslim men should be rejected refuge.

Oh, and THEN the articles were demonstrated to have absolutely nothing to do with your premise.

Times when it's okay to use Wikipedia as a primary source: when you need a quick piece of information for a functionally inconsequential purpose.

Times when it's not okay to use Wikipedia as a primary source: when you're forming or supporting strongly held political convictions upon which basis you might arbitrarily condemn entire populations to suffering and death.

In the latter situation I don't think it is in the least bit unreasonable to expect you to carry out some extremely thorough research.

It's a glorious future here in America.

Yeah, when I visited America for 3 months on the visa waiver program so I could spend some time with my wife and I wasn't allowed to work, I volunteered at a soup kitchen 1-2 times a weekin a heavily impoverished African American area run by a local Catholic church. It's a nice reminder there's still some decent christians around. I have some fun stories from that place though, and I got to bring home a big jar of delicious soup with rice or pasta in it every time I went.

Some of the food our sponsors gave us was loving disgusting though, especially like the produce. Like one time some grocery store gave us a box of literally rotting apples and the other volunteers were actually putting them on the trays until I yelled at them and made the chef open a big tin of fruit cocktail instead. Like because they're gettin the food for free who cares if it's literally rotten?

Dude, any crazy old fucker can edit Wikipedia pages, and they do on anything controversial. First year undergraduates are taught not to trust it as a source. The very least you could do is at least read the references.

As for the US immigration stuff, I notice you have a tendency to avoid answering some of the things I, a former US immigrant, and other US-oriented people in this thread, say. Like, you know, how you are not in fact coining it in the US if you're getting mad tax back from the US government.
