Using that same simple thinking: I guess that's the same reason China is militarizing the South China Sea. You're using peace-time thinking; and ignoring war-time scenarios.
I replied to which asked for jokes. So I linked a humorous, vaguely-relevant, Australian video clip. So that means you ... jumped to conclusions -- again.
I jumped to no conclusions. FACT: Your "joke" had a political message ... as most political jokes have. FACT: I responded to your flawed political message. Wrapping your politics in jokes and smiley faces won't stop people from responding to them. You don't get a pass, by "hiding" your political posts--in the Politics Forum--in jokes and smileys.
FACT: You tell people their opinions. FACT: You tell people their opinions again even after they correct you.
Regardless about your opinions. That's not really the point here. You posted a funny with a political message in the Politics Forum. You make a habit of cloaking your politics in smileys etc. You don't get to avoid rebuttals by claiming it's just a funny. If you don't like rebuttals, avoid the Political Forum. If you don't like my rebuttals, ignore me.
