As an Agnostic Atheist, I know that religion cannot be proven nor disproven, so when someone says that religion is fake, they're making a strong claim, especially if it's towards someone, and if it attacks their religious beliefs, it's considered as a hate crime. However, I wonder how you guys would respond to something like that. I personally do not have the same beliefs as any religion, none would fit me.

EDIT: I was simplifying that bit. Where I live, that part is actually protected by Article 10 ECHR. But it can be illegal if it's repeatedly to a colleague at work or said during an assault.

For example, there's this website called https://scientologymap.wiki/ which literally presents unofficial floor plans, not official ones which has to be presented for planning permissions and for construction. I get the sentiment, but that website is also baking the speedruns into the content - distinction between the two needs to be presented, not collapsed into one. If anyone actually wants a floor plan for their nearest Scientology centre or whatever then I can try to find it for you, not draw one. I found one for my nearest centre that's in the UK.

If you don’t like dogs, to them you’re the most evil person on the planet. If you think dogs should be put to sleep for their actions - such as attacking children, vulnerable people and babies, they point at the owner like they control the dog, forgetting about stray dogs. If you’re even scared of dogs, you’re a weirdo. They don’t even focus on the victim at all, they focus on the dog who’s the offender (some owners can influence it to, which in that case, would be both the dog and its owner).

They hate nuance whenever it goes against their ideology / echo chamber. They insult you if they feel insulted just because you don’t think the same as them.

There’s genuinely good dog owners that aren’t like this, including one of my best friends, she agrees with everything I say, including that dogs must be kept on lead when in public parks to ensure safety and consideration for all, and respect businesses when they don’t want dogs on their property - hell, there’s actually some people tricking businesses into letting their dog in as it’s an emotional support animal. ESAs aren’t a legal status here.

A lot of them also put their dogs off lead and think everyone needs to accept it. A lot of people think that every random dog aren’t dangerous, when that’s an assumption, and they generally hate the idea that a dog can be dangerous.

I almost got killed by a dog when I was a baby, and that’s been kept quiet because nobody likes the idea of dangerous dogs.

Everything that’s going on in politics is absolutely staggering. The Overton window has shifted so much that parties like restore Britain and reform UK are starting to become the new norm over here. The far right has become normal and if it carries on, we’d probably have another Nazi era again, and world war 3 possibly might even happen. This is what happens when you develop a political system with no paradox of tolerance filter. Reform already has 247 common seats, and if it goes to the final level so they can pass laws, then they could control the entire country by putting their policies into law, and the results would genuinely be devastating.

I’m fed up of it. Nobody is doing enough to stop the hate. Nobody is doing enough to stop the division. It’s going to end up awful and I feel like as one who’s social democrat, Its not worth getting involved. I don’t even know if I want to stay in England anymore. But the Overton window is strictly right wing and far right.

I’m feeling pretty crap about it all.

Bastard literally means someone who's born to unmarried parents. I'm born to unmarried parents, therefore I'm a bastard. I don't see what's offensive about that?

One of those facts that are controversial to say in some communities. I just got backlash from a couple of people or so for saying that on one.
