I would start mankind at the Homo Heidelbergensis period (debatable), their predecessor would be excused due to their sheer ignorance, so were looking at 700,000 to 200,000 year ago and some people have not yet learned right from wrong, they're no even cognizant of what peace means.
Fed up with Neo Nazis Yet???

That's not the point. If you had to choose between being murdered by your compatriot and being murdered by a foreigner, would you not prefer that your murderer be your compatriot?
Would you be an less dead?
How PewDiePie Just Got Rekted By Chan Culture
This week may have been YouTube millionaire and Swedish citizen Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg’s worst week ever, and it’s all because of Nazi jokes (and how normal 4chan humor has become to some). Kjellberg lost his ties with not just Disney and his MCN Maker Studios, but his ad status on YouTube as well as his show Scare PewDiePie, which was wrapping up season 2 on YouTube’s Red network, after the Wall Street Journal issued a report on his content library from August of 2016 onward.

'Kill her and be done with it': MP behind anti-Islamophobia motion reads out hate mail
The Liberal MP who tabled an anti-Islamophobia motion says she has been inundated with hate mail and death threats.
Mississauga, Ont. MP Iqra Khalid told the House of Commons Thursday she received more than 50,000 emails in response to M-103, many of them with overt discrimination or direct threats.
"I have asked my staff to lock the office behind me as I now fear for their safety," she said. "I have asked them not to answer all phone calls so they don't hear the threats, insults and unbelievable amount of hate shouted at them and myself."
She described a "chilling" video posted on YouTube that called her a terrorist sympathizer and disgusting human being.

Andrew Coyne: Hysteria from Conservatives over harmless motion on Islamophobia
Conservatism used to have some claim to being a coherent political philosophy. Of late it has become a series of dares. The most extreme voice will lay down the most extreme position, then challenge others to endorse it.
As often as not this has nothing to do with conservatism. It is rather a kind of moral exhibitionism, populist virtue-signalling, in which the object is to say and do the most intolerant or ill-considered thing that comes to mind — anything that might attract the condemnation of bien-pensants in the media and elsewhere, whose opposition becomes proof in itself of its merits.
The willingness to court such controversy in turn becomes the test of political purity. To demur, conversely, can only be a sign of cowardice, or worse, liberalism, a heresy that that would seem to have overcome much of the conservative movement, to judge by the ever-lengthening list of the excommunicated.
So we come to the latest of these blooding exercises, the “debate” over Motion 103, a private member’s motion introduced by Liberal MP Iqra Khalid. In the fevered imaginings of its online discussants, #M103 is decried as a bill that would forbid any criticism of Islam, if not the first step towards imposing Sharia law. I only wish I were exaggerating.
This hysteria campaign has been whipped up by exactly the people you’d expect, and pandered to by people of whom you might have expected better, including several Conservative leadership candidates. Pierre Lemieux has denounced it as “an attack on free speech.” Maxime Bernier asks whether “it is a first step towards restricting our right to criticize Islam.” Lisa Raitt, Andrew Scheer, and Erin O’Toole have all come out against it, while Kellie Leitch, bless her heart, has set up a petition to “Stop Motion 103,” complete with a blue-eyed model with a gag over her mouth.
The only candidate to say he will vote in favour of the motion is Michael Chong. For this he has been excoriated as a sellout; it rather confirms him as a man of judgment and conscience. There is simply no reasonable construction of the motion that can support the claims made of it. It is not a bill, for starters: it is a simple motion, an expression of opinion, of no legal force or effect. It does not call for any ban or restriction on speech of any kind.
It merely asks the government to “recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear,” condemns “Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination,” and instructs a committee of Parliament to study the matter. Yes, the motion is clumsily worded, and yes, it specifically mentions “Islamophobia.”
But the notion that this amounts to “singling out” one religion for “special privileges,” as some have claimed, is specious.
Yes, of course, all religious groups should be free of discrimination and hatred. But it does no disservice to the others to pay particular attention to one, at a time when that group is particularly exposed to both. After the slaughter of six Muslims at prayer in Quebec City, people of goodwill, not to say common sense, would understand why it might be timely for all of us to offer some assurance to members of that community.
It is, at the same time, understandable why there would be some nervousness around this subject. There is a certain school of Islam that would indeed place severe legal constraints on the right to criticize or ridicule the faith, just as there are lots of people, especially on the left, who would eagerly censor all sorts of “insensitive” speech.
This is what makes these issues so maddeningly elusive of resolution: it is not one thing or the other, but both at the same time. We live in a time both of much more widespread and open expressions of racism — thanks, internet — and of acute hypersensitivity to rude or even frank speech of all kinds. Each feeds off the other. But the alternative to “political correctness” is not bigotry and intolerance, and the answer to racism is not censorship. Indeed, we have too much of that already.
Andrew Coyne: Hysteria from Conservatives over harmless motion on Islamophobia
aside from Coyne doing the usual leftard stunt of confusing fundamentalist christians with conservatives there is a very real concern about free speech with the proposed new law. The thin edge of the wedge so to speak. WE already have hate speech laws. We already have anti discrimination laws.This proposed new law singles out one religious group for special privilege. Who gets to decide what is Islamophobic speech?
Andrew Coyne is a lefty now lol

Anything that Slave disagrees with is lefty propaganda. Poor guy, spending most of his time in bush camps up to his elbows in diesel and grease is taking its toll on his cognitive abilities.
I agree, Johnnny. People should stop using the term and stick to writing about the inherent dangers they see in the current US administration which if left unchecked could lead the US down dark and dangerous paths.
Watching the US President live on TV branding legitimate news outlets and journalists as fakes and liars should be more than enough to stir the interest of students of history. By denigrating the press and using twitter as his news feed while lauding fringe cable news outlets and journalists, Trump is playing to the lowest common denominator.
For all his bluster about uniting the divide that exists in America, his treatment of the media serves only to increase the division.
