The Easily Pursuded Obnoxious Mob Syndrome.

[Theland]

There are many examples of mobs being easily persuaded to protest about anything at the drop of a hat.
Not many seem to investigate the finer details of what that are protesting about.
Their numbers are always alarming, and their antics socially disruptive.
Climate Change, Extinction Rebellion, Leave or Remain, Institutional Racism, Trans Rights, and numerous others making demands on the majority to fix the alleged problems of the minority.
No question as such, but an invitation to identify a mob and comment on it.

Theland,
I support the rights of gay people to live a happy and prosperous life
(like you would as the father of a gay child).
What I find perplexing is your 'mob syndrome' idea. It was 'mob syndrome' down through the centuries, that eventually made it 'OK' for your son to live in peace despite the majority of Christian England been opposed to gay people.

//...discrimination, most of which I believe is manufactured//

Why do you believe it manufactured? Because a religious pensioner has no experience of it? You'll find that if you blinker yourself to what you don't want to believe, you aren't going to experience it.

People have always been victimised for being different, be it religion, nationality, race, sexuality, gender, size, hair colour... You name it, someone has been bullied, victimised or discriminated against because of it. Humanity is full of nasty, vindictive assholes.

What he ^^said as well ;-)

// in the middle east during biblical times when he would have been stoned to death//

I'm pretty sure that he still would in some countries. Places like Saudi Arabia and Uganda (I think) still carry death penalties for homosexuality. Or in Russia, you just discreetly disappear.

^What he said again.

[nailit]

I can feel a meme coming on ^^

[Old_Geezer]

Just that, easily persuaded mob, sounded like it had similarities to religion.

Institutional racism?
What institution?
An example of the racism?

[Jordyboy9]

Sexy,you don’t know the meaning of the word,
Now in my case with my Jeff Chandler looks and height,

That’s what sexy is all about.
Sheer animal magnetism.

How many of the sheep are fully aware of both sides of the climate change debate?
Not many I would guess.

[nailit]

Leave it out jordy, this is a serious thread
;-)

//How many of the sheep are fully aware of both sides of the climate change debate?//
How many of the sheep are fully aware of the christian gay debate?
How gays have been persecuted for centuries by the christian church and wouldnt have equal rights if it wernt for 'mob' protestors?
