Probably more like a buzz bomb, or at the very least a buzzkill.Is a think tank anything like a smart bomb?
Edit:
Or is this a think tank?
Terrible people like said folks has certainly played a part in my distancing from Christianity. I have been surrounded by vocal, victimhood seeking "Christians" most of my life. I only say most of my life because they are all still around me being in Oklahoma, but I have not put myself in their presence willing very often over the last however many years.
What happened was an increase in focus on far-right extremists, according to an intelligence source speaking to the Telegraph.

So I guess I'll ask the obvious question:
Of course they should accept his recommendation if it's likely to be mote effective in stopping terrorists from killing people.
In other words the part which has to do with "political correctness".
I can understand why teachers wouldn't want to dob in their students to the security services without hard evidence that they were murderous extremists. Not sure whether that has much to do with PC though. He also talks of collusion between left wingers and Islamists to deliberately refuse to refer suspected extremists as part of some kind of conspiracy. That's a very serious accusation.
I didn't see the part where he was saying there was a drop so much as that not enough Muslims were being referred because some had slipped the net. In any case it seems to me more like a hardware problem rather than a software problem, ie related to organisation rather than wrong headed people due to PC.
How do dating apps treat racial preference?
We explored this in an earlier discussion. On a lot of apps you aren't allowed to filter potential matches based on ethnicity. There are however apps that cater for specific ethnicities although the one for having a preference for white people was mired in controversy and called racist.
Again, from the earlier discussion it seemed like it was based on the reason you aren't interested in them - but then we were talking about straight men/women and their reason for not entertaining the idea of dating a transgender individual.
From the headline of the other article:"less safe"
Modern conservatism means you cry on the internet.
Weird that you take this from activists deathly serious but you call other activists hypocrites because they purportedly ignore other issues.
Well it's up to the dating site of course. But I'd wager that you can filter on other personal appearance traits - like size, tattoos, etc. I find it counterproductive to pretend that people can't have preferences for potential romantic partners based on any and all physical attributes without being somehow bigoted. I'd expect dating sites to either figure that out, or have some difficulty in the market.
Ok, let's break it down again. You can be a bigot and not want to date a transgender person, or a person of the same sex, on that basis. For example, you can be a homophobic man, who is actually homosexual, and refuse to date men, despite being attracted to them, because you hate gay people (including yourself for being gay). Conversely, you can be completely devoid of bigotry and just not find certain traits attractive. So for example, I do think it is possible to lack any and all racism and not find white people attractive. Some people just love the way tan skin looks, or dark skin. And the opposite is true as well. No bigotry required.
Ehhh....it's more that I expected too much of people and what I expected of them was also illogical. This is also true of how I saw the response to certain injustices.
Which is why I thought it didn't make sense as to why the white preference dating app was branded racist.
I think, from what I got from the article at least, is that quite a few lesbians have a genital preference, i.e. they don't like penises. This would mean, according to our discussion, they would be wrong to be labelled as transphobes, no?
A white or light skinned filter is one thing. Telling people they can only sign up for the service if they have a certain skin color is something else. Imagine for a moment, a brothel that allows you to pick your uh... provider... based on skin color. Now imagine a brothel that says "whites only". That's the difference, and it's not insignificant.
Well that's not actually the issue you posted. The issue you posted was (as I understood it), a lesbian that wanted more than just to be matched with people who lack penises, but who were also born female.
It could be, but it's not a sufficient basis from which to draw that conclusion.
