  SCOTLAND: JW warned court will deliver judgment

  from the east coast of scotland, just north of dundee...... the courier - friday 10 february 2017 - page 8. jehovah’s witness warned court will deliver judgment .

  a church figure has been told by a sheriff that the courts will deliver judgment on his domestic offending and not the jehovah’s witness group he is a member of.

  Scotland has also moved on from it being domestic violence to domestic abuse: the accused admits he behaved in a threatening manner.

  Not that the reporting appears particularly fulsome.

  professor jordan peterson of the university of toronto will be streaming a live debate on his youtube channel on the topic of free speech and "bill c-16".. if you haven't heard (where have you been?

  ) peterson has been making waves by opposing the demands of pc "social justice warriors" at the u of t to use their chosen gender neutral pronouns.

  in his judgement proposed "bill-c16" will make his non-compliance illegal - an egregious threat to free speech.. professor peterson is an intelligent and thoughtful academic who has found himself at the focus of attacks from the neo-marxists that are dominating the conversation at elite universities.

  lol Cofty, we're at cross purposes

  I did not say that I refuse to use Ms. I said - "I have never referred to anybody as Ms in my life, I have also never referred to a man as Mx and never will."
  I have never been asked to refer to somebody as Ms. I'm amused that you would presume to declare my opinions on anything "unacceptable".

  I thought you found Ms unacceptable, I didn't find your opinion unacceptable. I suppose I have to contact people I haven't met, in writing, hence my fairly frequent use of Ms. Was the "never will" about Ms or just Mx?

  I'm also intrigued by Cofty's refusal to use Ms: are there others that find this unacceptable?

  Bohm

  It's bizarre fixation they have.

  The cure, like many things, will probably be hanging out with someone that they think is the monstrous threat to civilisation because of an alternative pronoun only to discover they are just as dull as them. But with a different pronoun.

  As it appears no one on this thread has actually ever met someone who has asked to be addressed by another pronoun than he or she it seems the chances of criminalisation are zero.

  unless Mx Cofty is really hanging out with the "poseurs" but wants to keep it a secret....

  Cofty , I've asked you this before but you've never answered: have you met anyone in real life that has asked you to use a different pronoun from the one you expect?

  (intrigued you've never used Ms, have you known the first name and marital status of every woman you've ever been in contact with?)

  edited to add: in my work I never use Mrs in correspondence unless asked to.

  Do you remember when some women asked to be called Ms? The sky fell down then too.

  Election Post-Mortem

  i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

  really, wtf!.

  the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

  The only positives I can think of right now is at least some of the PC nonsense might be trashed

  Such as? And how?
