Wisbech. I think the reason why you antagonize people is that you seem to take your self rather too seriously.
Of course, you will be unaware of this or in denial because that goes with the territory.

It also doesn't help when you label other opinions as extremist or some other handy derogatory designation, and then indulge in self righteous indignation when your holier than thou position is questioned.

You just aren't important. I know it's a shock.

Hitler used to take himself rather too seriously.

If you actually knew me you would know that isn’t true! I am quite light-hearted although also passionate and tenacious. The reason I come over that way on here is because of the population who inhabit this place. They get antagonised (we are in the UK) by anyone who fails to fall in line with their rhetoric.

The reason opinions are derided is because to most of us in the real world they are derisory. I have no problem at all with my positions being questioned. Indeed I welcome it, as the more opportunities I have to discuss these things with those with opposing views the better my own are developed. What I object to are not opinions about politics but the regular insults used to try to divert discussions from them.

Hitler considered himself quite light-hearted, passionate and tenacious.

He was also a member of a Bayern Munich fan forum under the name of Braunau Eagle.

Really? Evidence, please. He is a long time dead but I am sure you can find some quotes to support this assertion. I thought he considered himself omnipotent.

65 miles was a long way to travel back then. I suspect he would have been more likely to support FC Braunau. I thought Bayern are known as "The Reds" and not the Eagles anyway.

Maybe I misunderstood and you were trying to be funny? Easy mistake to make.

A pussy has been grabbed.

A New York jury find Trump guilty based on hearsay and seemingly 'believe all woman'.

Most people who aren't biased against Trump, even independents, view this as a case created by political motives. Whether Trump actually did make a move on this woman or not can't really be known....it wouldn't surprise me, but that's not the same thing.

The right know that the Democrats weaponized the legal system in their states and are busy ensuring the same in theirs.

Its decline apes the west in general.

We will see whether this verdict stands the appeal or how it affects Trump's polls.....It may even increase his numbers.

A jury selected for, and guided to be, objective disagreed. They, of course, actually saw and heard all the evidence, and not just the salacious reports of the evidence. Proved beyond a reasonable doubt is the test and it's the only test.

No one can "weaponise" a legal system. They can take advantage of someone's guilt but the person has to be guilty first.

I am quite sure that the Republicans would not pause for a moment if they could mount cases against Clinton or Biden that would stick. The Democrats didn't mount this case. They may not even benefit from it.
