Then don’t reply to anyone’s comment, if you don’t want to “engage” with that person. You don’t have to respond to the post, but yet you do. Got to have the last word, maybe? I don’t know, but you seem like an angry person that is looking for arguments. You already said that you weren’t here to make friends, and that most of people on this forum were not to your intellectual level anyway.
I only respect those who are respectful and with that, yeah, I do believe it’s time to throw you on *ignore* again. When I find nothing to respect, it’s time to kick ‘em to the curb.
Back on track again. A part of the woke liberal agenda is the idea that we can all choose however many of 70+ new pronouns for ourselves. Okay, do what ya want, I’m fine with that for anyone who wants to do it but I’m out with a boring he/him/Mr. or just plain Bobby. That written, one subject is coming to the forefront about the pronoun thing that I hadn’t thought of before until the question came up on YouTube. Question: If you were an employer and someone seeking their kick-off career starter sent you a resume’ and on that resume’ it had a list of pronouns that person wants to be known as, what would you do? Masters degree…check. Stanford University…check. No criminal record….check. Employment record N/A He wants to be called they/them. Would the “they/them” (or ve,ver, cis, non-binary etc) be a deal breaker? It’s obvious that the person is highly liberal (new woke). His decision to place his woke stance on a resume’ is irrelevant to the job description. If those pronouns aren’t used, there’s a possibility of a law suit. Would you consider an interview? Do note: People are actually doing it so it’s not just a fairy tale question.
It would be for me. Why would I want to hire someone to make my life more complicated? There is that, and the likelihood that this nonsense also points to someone who is likely to be litigious. So, while I may not refuse to hire the person because of the pronouns, I'd surely find some reason not to.
This was an excellent read, I loved it all, but the Global Warming to Climate Change explanation, well, you really aced that one!!
When you write on this forum anyone who is reading is exactly who you are engaging even if you were to give the username of "only" the people you want to talk to we are all welcome to read, and answer back.
Evidently you feel pushed around and like @Bobby Cole said, you get as good as you give. Guess maybe others aren't allowing "you" to push them around.
When I used Stanford University in my post, it was just a name off the top of my head. But, having written that, I find out that Stanford has gone woke/neo-liberal and is promoting such idealism among the law students. Now, I realize that this whole schism is going to away when the fantasies of the woke parts of the generation start to grow up and really wake up to reality but for right now and contrary to an earlier statement made, it does affect everyone.
No, "some others" are being obnoxious and will not stop trying to goad me and bait me into arguing with them. Quite childish, really. And it's not working. And please don't tell me how I feel. I think I would know my feelings better than you.
Join the crowd. I think you just like a good argument or you would not have joined us homophobic racist conservatives. Although many of us have family members who Homosexual, a different race and live and let live if not attacked. If you don't like a member, you can put them on ignore and do like most who use that option, read what they say before you log into the site. Or ignore them like you say you want them to do you. I enjoy a good debate, so you don't bother me. I also don't belong to any racist groups like BLM, LA RAZA, KKK, Menchú, Univision, ACLU, SPLC, etc,etc,etc,.
I did not say that any of you belong to racist groups. I did not say that ALL of you are homophobic racists. I do not make generalizations like that. I said SOME of the comments from SOME of the members here are bigoted, homophobic, and misogynistic, etc., and I stand by my opinion. When I first joined this group, I didn't know that this group harbours and supports those kinds of viewpoints. I sure found out quickly. If you read this thread from the beginning, you will note that the conversation was quite civil and respectful until one member chimed in and decided to take it to a personal level, as he always does. Then a few others followed suit. And I simply defended myself against the onslaught of false accusations and animosity. The member eventually apologized for being partially responsible for degenerating the conversation, but then later came back with antagonism and disrespect, wanting to keep arguing. Not a genuine apology. Sure I could block and ignore the people I dislike, but I choose not to. Partly because I don't run away from people who are contentious and partly because I'm intrigued by what nonsense they'll be spewing next. LOL
