I like "feminism-appropriating reactionary transphobe" better.

This works better because whilst I think I understand the idea of calling someone a TERF I don't like insisting someone is a "radical feminist" just to make it fit the acronym. Also, FART!

I think thats kinda no true scotsmanning that feminists cant have lovely values.

At this point i think TERF is one of those acronyms that transcends the original acronym and people see it as just a word now. Agonizing over a replacement just muddies the water as people have to explain a whole new acronym.

I guess to me it's because I associate "radical feminist" with like, a hippie in the 60s burning her bra. Saying someone is a radical feminist as a way of associating them with trans-hate ruins the term. Either way thanks for explaining.

Huh, apparently so. I always assumed it was just the name of the van that the police used (like it was an Austin Maria or something), especially as in old TV shows and films it always seems to be the same model of van, e.g. as in Withnail and I:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ7SzAm92e4

although this one's blue, and probably the other ones are too but they were in black and white. Anyway I learned something in the Freep thread that wasn't utter contempt, so that's a plus, although I'm now intrigued as to how that particular bit of slang made it over to the UK, which is generally self-sufficient in such things.

Taking notice of threats and preparing for them isn’t being a chicken little.

Say, do you have guns for self defense? How many times have you been mugged? Ever been an unwilling participant in a mass shooting?

But feel free to go back to playing in traffic.

The most significant action he took was to quarantine the United States by ordering the early travel restrictions. That was a bold and decisive move.

No they do not, Brexit travel rules don't take effect until the end of the transition period. Quite a few Freepers made this same claim.

quote:

Italy is a major hot spot for Coronavirus, but banning travel from Italy would be ineffective. The EU nations have open borders, so there’s no way to tell if someone trying to fly from another EU nation was recently in Italy and might have a higher risk of carrying the virus. Since Brexit, the UK no longer shares open borders with the rest of Europe. Presumably to travel from Italy to the UK you would need passports and visas, which would document a higher risk of exposure. Hence a general travel ban from the UK is not necessary.

Tuberculosis from Mexico, what? Everything is just a reason to deploy troops across the southern border to this guy.

quote:

My thought on this is, how many Europeans are we keeping out in comparison to how many Central Americans are coming over the southern border?

If this is indeed prudent, and I am not disagreeing, if this that serious, then we should be deploying active military personnel along every vulnerable section of the southern border.

We are essentially closing the border to first world Europeans and leaving a much bigger border open to 3rd world invaders who are already carriers of a considerable number of other serious diseases. Example, keep Europeans from bringing in this virus, but allowing Mexicans to bring in tuberculosis.

Am I missing something here??
