Tate BBC Interview

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

I've not watched any recent interviews, what made you lose respect?

When he decided to interview a war criminal and give him a platform.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE. YOU'RE BEING LIED TO!!!

You do have to wonder about the grasp on reality of anyone who thinks social media is a more reliable source of news than MSM (with all its faults).

After many years watching the lies peddled by the BBC they have been the cause of their own down fall.

I havent watched the interview, but surely if you want free speech you have to listen to opposing views that you may find extreme and challenge them in the open. T

Yep I agree. He didn't challenge him though. It was more of an endorsement and friendly chat with a mass murderer of kids.

Happy Pride Month.

Unfortunately I'll soon be moving to a place where pride is illegal... what a shame.

How wonderful. To move to a country run and policed by bigots.

I think you are being a bit unfair to lose resepect over one aspect of the man. If that's the case then I'd question if you really respect him or just agree with what he does.

I also think it's based on who you are. You clearly champion people who say stuff you like. These peope challenge everything and in some cases you might not like what they think. For example, Ben Shaprio, you may love his stance on men becoming women and he's extremely good at debating it, but he has a stong opinion on abortion which you may not agree on. So do you respect him because he's bloody good at debating and factualising his argument or do you resepect him because he says what you agree with. I think they are different thing.

So is your respect based on he's bloody good at what he does and challenges popular rhetoric or respect him because he's championing your causes?

And I'd agree with Woohoo, you can't applaud someone for fighting the system, digging deep in to all opinions and debating yet call them for speaking to someone that is hugely unpopular to debate it. If you were a Saudi Arabian would you lose respect for someone that suggest women could drive? You get my point?

Not sure how many countries it's banned in, wonder which he's moving to? Uganda? Afghanistan?

Increasingly though, the pro and anti LGBT groups are becoming equally bigoted. Neither will tolerate the other view being expressed and will actively work to suppress this, even by threat or violence.

That's a really good point that we shouldn't overlook and that rhetoric is already causing a backwards shift in some areas so doing more harm than good, which I believe will increase over time.

IMO it's because most of us, who are in the moderate range, have just nope'd out of the discussion. On most of these issues there is some merit in both sides but like hell is it worth standing between them.
