That makes more sense

I was curious why they didn’t mention Israel or Lebanon and so I read the article and concluded that it’s because it’s not about Israel or Lebanon.

Blows my mind that people cheer on Iran. Is it just a simple, anti trump, anti Israel reaction?

That’s different on a lot of levels, starting with the fact that Jesse Owens wasn’t from Germany. But also it’s tough comparing Trump directly to Hitler because you have to make assumptions about what Trump will do, based on the way Hitler was at the time.

We don’t have to let people like Kash or Trump try to make it about themselves, and we don’t have to try to force something onto the athletes that they never intended or stood for. It’s disgraceful that we can’t simply celebrate with them, disgraceful that powerful politicians try to steal their glory, and disgraceful that certain leftists are too full of anger to allow themselves to enjoy life for even one second.

It’s an invitation from the leader of the country they represented. It’s very normal and is happening all over the world right now in different countries who are celebrating their accomplishments during the winter Olympics. Unfortunately now after the fact, there are a lot of people trying to use them for various political ideologies.

Coward isn’t the word. They are excited and proud about winning the gold medal, and they have every right to be. Other people making it political in one form or the other isn’t their problem.

They did and they do. This story got blown up into something that never existed, at least as far as the men go. Wont speak for Trump…

I think that’s only if you are registering to vote in a different precinct, if you aren’t already on the voter rolls in that area. Basically whenever you move. I’m not sure how other countries handle it when you move.

Your country probably requires voter ID if you aren’t from the United States…

Uhh, seems like it’s way more “fashionable” for Europeans to bash the US if anything.

Or if they were fake. Hard to say.

But mostly just don’t want to see points of view that we disagree with.

Well in the context of the original story, who is the Nazis? Is it the Chinese government putting peaceful Christians in jail? Or is it the Christians themselves who present a danger to society, thereby justifying their incarceration/disappearance. Seems like the answer should be obvious, and yet people don’t agree.

Nah that’s just a way to justify being intolerant while acting like you value tolerance.

Yeah? Did they throw you in jail for your beliefs? Or try to kill you? There’s a difference between expressing an ignorant or bigoted opinion, compared to infringing on someone’s human rights.

At this point the paradox of intolerance is used to justify intolerance more than it’s used to prevent intolerance.

While I don’t disagree with you, that isn’t at all what he said.

I got a feeling it’s just a particular religion. The level of moral and mental integrity in this thread is abysmal…

Lol that’s your takeaway? If you are against oppression except when it’s against people you don’t like, then you support oppression.
