I see an inconsistency!
Which supports my point that extremists from both sides are inconsistent with their views. Any fact that supports a claim by the left is spun by the Far Right and the same for the far Left. If I see that sort of thing coming through in people's arguments I dismiss them early on...It's hard to have an decent discussion with someone with an agenda.

And regarding the reparations thing...Diss, what is your heritage? Where are your ancestors from? If you don't mind me asking. No matter what nationalities you say, I bet I can find a group of people that you owe reperations too, under that argument. The people calling FOR reparations seem to only have selective memory in regards to history. Every race and culture was enslaved\brutilized by someone else at different points in history. Again, why should I have to pay for something I haven't done?
