- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

I feel like this is some sort of sly insult ๐
Like, imagine having a polite conversation with someone and they respond with "ignoring whatever happened when you just opened your mouth,..."
Does this mean we can't be friends? But you're so well spoken and cool ):
Ignoring whatever happened at the start of your comment, that's fascinating! I assumed it was a biological test, silly me. I suppose I agree with the general concept there, I don't really want people who support genocide to be involved with anything I'm involved with, where possible.
Giving it some thought though, life isn't so cut and dry, someone who likes genocide might also live in my neighbourhood and share some of my beliefs about needing the bin men to come round more often, and thus we'd find ourselves allied at a local Council meeting or such, where preferably I'd not want them to be involved in anything I'm involved in, but in this case it'd harm my own cause to try to exclude them.
So, do you lock them out of things for that one belief - potentially weakening your own cause, or do you let them participate - thus diluting your opposition of the thing they support that you are against (e.g. genocide)?
I suppose it's a difficult question that we all must look inwards to our moral compasses and answer for ourselves.
P.S I looked up what gop means for those out of the loop, it means "Grand Old Party", which is another name for the current ruling political party in over the pond in the USA (officially called Republican Party).
