If it's so abhorrent to point out negative truths why do we easily acknowledge positive truths? Is one less true than the other based on how it makes you feel?

They're true on a case by case basis. For example: thinking Chinese New Year parties are nice is an opinion so it is neither true nor false...

Also, nice of you to conveniently ignore my question. I suppose we should no longer be surprised at your cherry-picking facts and things you want to see.

Ok. Great. Filling 15 year old girls up with nails being bad is also just an opinion. I didn't realize we needed to establish this. Can we agree that this incident in Manchester was bad or is do you have a problem with that as a foundation for this discussion?

You've missed it twice. Excuse me for shouting, you must be deaf.

DOES THE WORD "MANIPULATION" MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU? OR "EXPLOITATION"?

Clear enough? Heard that?

Sure I think it's bad. Why are you equating terrorism and new years celebrations?

I still don't think that terrorism is inherent to Islam.

Yes. I know those words. I'll use them in a sentence.

Muslims are especially vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation.

Watch the news then. You'll find these attacks are usually carried out by Muslims.

On cold days I noticed that the sun rises in the morning, therefore the sun makes the day cold when it rises.
