Lol good for you! Don’t watch it. Be the moral police, see how that works out. This is the reason moderates are pushed into right side.

You are aware that most moral and ethical codes in a free society are enforced by people saying, "hey pal, that seems mighty improper," right? Don't be a crybaby.

"If you keep telling people it's bad to lie, I'm going to change my political views! *harumph*" is an impressive self-own.

I was being condescending about it, should not have done that. I take it back.
No one is taking issue with your condescension or your tone. They're taking issue with your extremely bad ideas.

"Don't tell people not to lie or I'll become an extreme right winger" is a bad idea. It's a stupid thought. If you share that thought, you will be made fun of. But it's not because you shared it in a bad way. It's because it's a bad idea.
