What is it with all the blocking?

Blocking is easier than dealing with the hatefulness of some conservatives.

Blocking makes sense; not just for the political reasons. Although the discussion may be about politics, the difference of opinion isn't necessarily the reason for the blocking. It's about the personal attitude which the person uses when expressing that opinion. I can discuss anything for as long as it takes to get it all said, but when name calling and cursing starts, I shut it down. If I see the same person doing the same to others, I block them. It isn't their opinion that makes me grind my teeth, it's their belief that anyone who disagrees deserves to be cursed and insulted.

@Serenitree: I've come to the conclusion that the original question was partisan from the beginning based on the fact that Kinevel dislikes all liberals, and as you can see, Niburu agrees with him. That's why I fear for my country. 😞

@bijouxbroussard: from my perspective the only people blocking me have been very sensitive people on the more liberal side.

Generally speaking those people can't be reasoned with, the conservative side also has a far gone thin skinned group as well.

As I have stated numerous times, I haven't blocked anyone for any sort of political perspectives.

Now as to my personal political views, well, they're kinda all over the place.

@bijouxbroussard: I understand your fear. I have a room you can move into if you like. Trudeau is an idiot but I don't think he or his followers want to turn Canada into a war zone.

@Serenitree: I'm so sorry he's an idiot. He's considerably nicer to look at than than M. le Donald. 😉

@bijouxbroussard: his latest faux pas was at a town meeting in Quebec. Yes. Quebec is a francophone province, but there is a huge English population there. Whether or not they are bilingual, doesn't matter. He is the PM of Canada. Not the president of a local chapter of Francs'R'Us.
(I made that up. It doesn't exist)

At that meeting he was answering questions. He didn't have a translator there. When an English person asked a question, he answered in French. Not French first, then English. Nobody there to translate his words for the English population. Big mistake. The rest of Canada has a very large English population. Far larger than French. People are not impressed; mostly because, when he has been asked a question in French in other parts of Canada, he answers in French, then he repeats the question in English and answers it in English.

What happened at that meeting in Quebec, was at the very least, favouritism, and at worst, bigotry. His excuse was lame. I can't recall his whole speech about it, but the gist was, "in Quebec we speak French"

@bijouxbroussard:

In 2011, English was the mother tongue of nearly 58% of the population of Canada (or 19.1 million persons), and French was that of nearly 22% (or 7.2 million persons). As for the language most often spoken at home, English was spoken by 66% of the population and French by 21%
