What a crusty old dinosaur, heard on the radio that he has resigned from his role at Cambridge, good job tooā¦
Why do you say initially?
Pap I didnāt ask for that I asked for you to quote what Starkey has said and for you to point out your objections, we can go from there.
I didnāt actually get to finish what I was writing as I was distracted by my kidsā¦

I know that one with kids, you just initially you agreed with me.
It seems to me that Barry is saying genocide and slavery are two utterly appalling crimes which are distinct from one another. Iām at a loss to understand why anyone is arguing with that, itās not as if heās saying that makes slavery alright, just that itās a different crime.

Right, time to finish what I started.
Initially I agreed with you, then I read the UN definition and got confused, then read the bit I quoted which made my mind up that I still agreed with you.
The article says the UN definition is too vague and I agree.

My point was slightly different in that iMho genocide, slavery even throw in holocaust are all the Outcomes of dehumanisation depending on circumstanceā¦ When anyone o longer seems a section of our human race as human, that is the problemā¦ as it leads to a variety of dispicable actsā¦
My point is rather simple, slavery isnāt genocide.
That has always been my point, and the thing is Iām correct under UN definitions and the Oxford English dictionary, there is no argument yet you try with absolute futility.
Its because its Barry and theyāre playing the poster not the post, Iāve had this for years, what makes it amusing is you see prejudice in the accuser, an innate bias.

No futility because itās not an argumentā¦ itās simply a concept and POV you struggle withā¦
Fucking hell, Iāve got the violins playing nowā¦ tear are willing up as I feel the cruel harsh world of Sotonians playing the āposter ā chestnutā¦ which is actually the biggest pile of bollocks of an excuse for posting shiteā¦ stop playing the victim and stand by what you post. The poster and the post are the same fucking thingā¦ If you donāt stand by it, donāt fucking post it

Its not a concept at all, donāt be soft.
Itās also not a point of view, words have definitions and meanings, theyāre different words with different meanings, this really is beyond the pale.
You are willfully stupid concerning this.
Calm down Barry, itās OK if you canāt understand it. No worries
Ha Ha Iām hardly the victim and I couldnāt play that role but the simple fact it people react to my posts different to others, Iām correct on this and youāre wrong, the reason youāre arguing and not apologising is because its me, itās cool.
Hahahaha ā¦ nope itās because of all the posters in here you could argue with yourself for eternityā¦ And you post repetitive shite, folks respond to what you post,nothing more nothing lessā¦
For exampleā¦ you have (successfully) moves a thread about Black lives matter onto semantics and definitions as opposed to the the reality which is that whether you intend to murder, or enslave people on arbitrary or made up differentiation itās on driven by dehumanising themā¦ the outcomes are simply different extremes
I probably do but I understand the words and differences between slavery and genocide.
You donāt as your agenda driven to the point of being blindly biased, itās not even nuanced itās incorrect.
No once again, Iāve corrected you on words and the usage and meaning of them.
