How about my tax dollars paying for the war. Does that allow me to talk about a subject I don’t agree with? This board isn’t supposed to walk in lockstep on issues. People will have different opinions.
“Does that allow me to talk about a subject?”
Dialogue & discussion of shared questions & information is the focus of FR.
However, crude nasty retorts is never acceptable. I typically ignore or ghost such comments.
I have often said:
“I respect your freedom to hold your own or differing opinion. We both have the freedom of thought and the freedom of expression to hold our own point of view.
Also, it is absolutely not my intention or responsibility to “change” or form opinions for someone else.”
What if the patriots of 1776 had said the same thing? What if the isolationists of the 1930’s had won and we would not of built up. We spend a lot of money building armaments against Russia why not spend so we do not have to spend anymore for that. Did you ever consider that? Spend what we need to preserve our culture and way of life. If the Ukrainians are doing that for us then than let us help them. Or are you a Putin loving Russian loving troll?
