It is valid to ‘mock’ people whose world view is shaped or influenced by a belief system. I far prefer rational people, even those whose views I strongly disagree with. There is nothing wrong with a fixed worldview based on rationalism, quite the reverse in fact. To suggest someone is closed minded because they will not buy into an irrational view of the world is pretty nonsensical from a usually switched on poster. Do you think you're more intelligent and "rational" than literally every person in the world who believes in God? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Seems to have gone under the radar but I saw Willie Rennie being asked essentially the question the other day. His answer as to how the voters should signal their support for a referendum? "I don't support it."

Even Sturgeon, who is to be fair the most talented, got rinsed off him. That said, rinsing Ross is like picking fruit from the lowest branches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which part was edited to do so? She seemed pretty lacking when asked about the economy and as has been discussed on here she looked physically irritated by the line of questioning, do you think this was camera trickery? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon having the worst performance ever with that interview. Ross interview reminds me of Paxman and Howard interview many years ago although didn't answer about 15 times! I bet some of those giving abuse to Jenkins on twitter is now retweeting the Ross interview Edited April 20, 2021 by betting competition 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
