@Argenpoirot new to watching football, so feel free to correct me, but the behavior i've seen from certain countries' fans, like Mexico, is kind of unsportsmanlike. They will jeer and boo everytime the opposing team has the ball... it's like they're so desperate for a win. kind of pathetic

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@Yukasade @OrientEngland @memeticsisyphus just a heads-up, you are wasting your time with this clown. he is ideologically captured, meaning he won't be able to process direct evidence, as i've tried to get him to do in our exchanges. take my advice and don't engage with this guy, it's pointless

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus that's a false dichotomy. no one claimed every arrest was a mild tweet. the graph shows the volume of arrests under these laws, which the article itself frames as targeting offensive online messages. the distinction doesn't refute the overall trend.

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus i didn't misread it. The article's title, framing, and the direct quote about 'offensive posts on social media' all tie the 12,183 arrests to online messages. You're the one isolating a single paragraph to pretend otherwise. you are trying to save face

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus yes. this is merely to explain what laws were invoked in making those arrests. why are you taking this paragraph in isolation ? let me remind you the title of the article:
"Police make 30 arrests a day for offensive online messages"

you are choosing to disconnect it from context

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus i'm clearly wasting my time with you. you actually prefer to believe the Times are also wrong in their own assessment. lmao.

you are experiencing cognitive dissonance. you probably have strong beliefs about how your country wouldn't allow this kind of censorship, but it does.

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus you are clearly suffering from cognitive dissonance. you are nitpicking on the terms used to describe online communications, as to maintain a sense of control over your beliefs, while you purposefully ignore the basic fact that 12 182 arrests made for online comms is enormous

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus no, i'm simply going to point out that the article made a point about those arresrs being made mostly for social media posts, which you seem to purposefully ignore:

"The police are making more than 30 arrests a day over offensive posts on social media and other platforms."

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus to quickly recap, here is the quote that directly links the figure to posts made mostly on social media:

"The police are making more than 30 arrests a day over offensive posts on social media and other platforms."

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus you're clearly suffering from deep cognitive dissonance. it makes you split hairs when there's no need to. the headline clearly states:

"Police make 30 arrests a day for offensive online messages”.

"Offensive online messages".

"Online messages"

you are in denial

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@OrientEngland @Yukasade @memeticsisyphus let's do some basic math shall we ?

12 183 / 365 (number of days in a year) = roughly 33 arrests per day, which is what the article is talking about. let me re-quote the title:

“Police make 30 arrests a day for offensive online messages”.

hope this helps.

@kangminlee i don't get it. is the coach implicated in some embarrassing scandal ? they can't be that mad simply becahse the team lost can they ? i mean it's always been a possibility

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@ea_maro @MosabHasanYOSEF i think for a lot of muslims, simply being muslim is like an identity more than a religion. that's why mosab thinks it's hypocrisy, because while muslims follow certain guidelines, they don't go all the way. you recognize a real christian when they strictly follow the Bible.

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@ea_maro @MosabHasanYOSEF why so aggressive ? it's true. like most other people i know who were baptized young and don,t practice christianity. yet most muslims participate in Eid, Ramadan, and don't eat pork, but won't truly follow sharia or other more extremist aspects. there is a clear asymmetry

[Baeyens Raphaël @raphael_baeyens]

@ea_maro @MosabHasanYOSEF the big difference is christians who don't practice their religion according to the Bible don't proclaim themselves christians unlike most muslims. For example, i was baptized, but don't actively practice the religion. i don't see mysellf as a practicing christian.
