Philippines says two coast guard vessels damaged by China’s ‘unlawful manoeuvres’, while Beijing says it took ‘control measures’ after vessels illegally entered waters around shoal
Chinese and Philippine vessels collided on Monday during a confrontation near a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, the two countries said.
Both countries blamed each other for the incident near the Sabina Shoal.
China and the Philippines have had repeated confrontations in the vital waterway in recent months, including around a warship grounded years ago by Manila on the contested Second Thomas Shoal that hosts a garrison. Beijing has continued to press its claims to almost the entire South China Sea despite an international tribunal ruling that its assertion has no legal basis.
“…should raise the eyebrow…”
damning evidence you have there…
“…regards LGBT lobby as political and left -leaning…”
yea, dude. not a lot of fascist lgbt+ folks.
and then you apparently discovered, to your horror, that the American website created and run by Americans reports from an American perspective?
and the website disclaims to its users that other countries…may not think the same as America.
This is accurate.
for your education, many countries don’t think the same way as the United States does.
I guess it’s not weird you find this courtesy a shocker.
You personally don’t like its founder, and misunderstood the rankings of the website he created, to your displeasure.
MBFC has consistent rankings that it applies to all news sources equally.
you claim to disagree with some MBFC rankings, although you don’t bother to read or understand the rankings.
your personal dislike for the founder and personal disagreement with certain rankings is frankly irrelevant and pales in comparison to the fact that you didn’t even know there was more than one metric for MBFC.
raised eyebrows and believing that LGBT+ groups shouldn’t be classified as left-leaning is no proof.
Do you think that the position that cisgender straight people have the right to exist in public is a biased opinion? Is that position left or right biased?
the dislocated straws you are grasping at for being too lazy to read a webpage before criticizing it are absurd.
“Do you think that the position that cisgender straight people have the right to exist in public is a biased opinion?”
strictly to exist?
no.
cis straight people have the right to exist in public.
any other brain busters?
Why then is the position that gay people have the right to exist in public a biased opinion?
It is not a “biased” opinion, but it is certainly a political issue, to keep our topic consistent and hop ahead a few questions.
would you like to know why?
I’ll take another turn:
lgbtq+ prior having the right to exist in public is a political issue because lgbtq+ people have not achieved the unilateral, unchallenged right to exist in public everywhere yet, and overwhelmingly left-leaning political institutions and organizations are committed to extending that right to the lgbtq+ community.
Those left-leaning organizations are making political stances, engaging in political protest and rallies, passing (political, see where this is going?) legislation, to ensure that the conglomerate minorities of lgbtq+ have the undeniable right to exist in public.
these political actions are almost exclusively fought for and achieved by left-leaning organizations, resulting in the lgbtq+ movement being justifiably associated with and classified as left-leaning.
I’d love to skip ahead, but I’m not confident you know where this is going. We agree that gay people having the right to exist is a political issue, but it’s not a politically biased opinion.
Is science a political issue? Is it biased to value the authority of scientists on issues like climate change or vaccine effectiveness?
science is very obviously a political issue.
amazing.
that’s what you get for asking ill-defined questions without context.
please continue.
you can pretend i answered your straw man the way you wanted me to so that you can eventually, one day limp over to what appears to be coalescing into an inaccurate “gotcha!” based on false premises.
I appreciate you expanding on your earlier comment. I’d love for you to elaborate on science the same way you did for lgbtq+
With the fight to take basic health precautions in the face of a pandemic and acknowledge the reality of climate change championed by Democrats and opposed by Republicans, is the pro-science movement justifiably associated with and classified as left-leaning?
yup.
