Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it.

Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her.

Learn to use Google, you fucking idiot.

And go read up on the Nazi Party, too

And just to make sure it is shoved all they way up your ass, where you like it most, here's another one.

Heil Trump!!

You too are a fucking idiot. Again, only stupid fucking neo-nazi's in the US suggest Hitler was a socialist. Actually, neo-nazi groups in the US know he was a fascist.... what i'd love to see is you go tell some of those guys they're actually leftwing socialists and lets see how well the trauma team can put your skull back together afterwards.

So to sum it up... you're uneducated, and a fucking idiot.

Probably because Muslims are more often the victim than the perpetrator. There's a lot of countries in Africa too where xians are performing ethnic cleansing on Muslim populations.

You might want to research. The west practices tolerance, but in areas that are majority Muslim, not so much.

Here, you can find a list of countries that allow the DEATH PENALTY for apostasy and blasphemy. You will never guess the dominant religion for most of them... http://www.pewresearch.org/fac...

Well, "blasphemy" laws can be applied to pretty much anybody that you disagree with. In Pakistan, a Christian woman was pretty much railroaded and sentenced to death, despite the lack of any actual evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

One telling quote (from the article):

In December 2010, a month after Noreen's conviction, a Muslim cleric announced a 500,000 Pakistani rupee award (the equivalent of $10,000)[7] to anyone who would kill her. One survey reported that around 10 million Pakistanis had said that they would be willing to personally kill her out of either religious conviction or for the reward.

Also, even if you DON'T actually commit blasphemy, here is a list of 13 countries where begin an Atheist can get you killed. You get three guesses about the dominant religion for 12 of these countries (the 13th country, Nigeria, is evenly divided between Christian and Islam). Yes, being the wrong religion (or lack thereof) is LEGAL grounds for execution. https://www.theatlantic.com/in...

But as to who is the VICTIM of persecution, I will leave this article (cliff notes: Christians). The source data appears to be Pew (who is generally regarded as unbiased), but you can analyze the data for skew yourself.

You were doing so well until the nonsense about Nazis. I really don't get the American ignorance about Socialism, I really don't.

Educate yourself:

It's really not that hard.

Bit too late for that isn't it?

Sorry, Mashiki, but nope. Turns out people can change their minds.

We are not bound in chains of iron and oppression like you prefer.

It's called freedom. That's why we don't have permanent elections, actually.

Except in authoritarian countries like yours, comrade. Where you don't actually have elections, you just pretend you do and can't admit they're fake, because then you get a gun to the back of the head.

The question was clear, concise, and there was enough of a voter turnout.

The question was flawed on a fundamental basis, as it lacked particularity as to terms, the turnout was actually a plurality of non-votes, and with results that are close enough that we can expect many people to reject any attempt, let alone a flawed and broken method, of separation, contrary to May's machinations, let alone the hysteria of the Brexit Forever bunch, the people will demand the right to review her actions, and exercise their own will as they wish.

Really, it's a tell that you're so stridently against even Parliament having a vote of approval. Very revealing that you can't handle that.

If the government goes any other way then what with the public actually voted, then the government violates the social contract.

If the people decide to change their mind, and the government refuses to listen, then the government violates the social contract. Especially when the people are at best, close to evenly divided on the subject, and thus the actual opinion of the people is likely not unified, but in some disagreement.

In many cases, the government especially the UK government have already voided it, you can see that where the police are not upholding the law or ignoring crimes because of various reasons.

Yes, the police often act in ways that subvert the law because they've found that contrary to Abraham Lincoln's alleged statement, rigorous enforcement of bad law does not achieve a just end. It's called the brown-bag bottle. They were desperately looking for that when it came to Marijuana, but couldn't, so eventually legalization took over, not that authoritarians like Jefferson Davis-wannabe Sessions care that the people totally disagree with his oppression and thuggery.

He, like you, doesn't want to listen. Well, then you will find yourself being ignored.

Don't be surprised if you see things deteriorate quickly if they decide to go against the initial vote.

Don't be surprised when you see things work out entirely different than your flawed Kremlin-dictated illogic compels you to espouse, your tendency towards building men of straw only means you'll burn yourself even more quickly.

It's funny how self-destructive you are, it's like you can't bring yourself to care anymore. Lies, hysteria, hypocrisy, inanity, it's all the same to you. What a paragon of chaos you've become, lurching around with all the signs of dementia.

But wait, wait, you test so well.

I don't get it. Since Trump was elected, Merkel is now the leader of the free world! This isn't free, it can't possibly be Merkel...

You're probably confused by the fact that many ignorant people today use the term socialist to describe a capitalist welfare state

No, i'm not confused by social democracies, i'm confused by how someone can elect to be as stupid as whoever wrote your post. What doesn't surprise me is you had to post it anonymously so people wouldn't know which stupid person to mock.

...or you can check out pretty much any site that isn't run by partisan hacks for the right-wingers lying through their teeth (i'm sure not all are lying, some might simply be too fucking stupid). Better yet, we can do an experiment... you go down to one of these alt-right neo-nazi group meetings, and you yell out at all these guys that they're nothing but a bunch of left wing socialists.... and we'll see how that goes for you. And do remember when they're curbstomping what's left of your skull into the concrete.. if you'd filled your head with something other than lies and bullshit, you wouldn't be getting that shit kicked out of you.

You ... you really believe that one can get rich by working?

Hey, folks, gather 'round, I found the dupe that still believes the "American Dream"!

It seems that among the disadvantages of being an apparently Marxist leaning nihilist is the many extra opportunities it provides to be wrong on so many things on so many levels.
