Re: The American Apocalypse
I'm with Rip. I don't get "deeply offended" by what people say. I get mad or sad when I see people picking on others or taking actions that harm them. But offended.. that's a waste of time.

Re: The American Apocalypse
Words matter.
People matter.
Intent matters.
Put all three together, and it really matters. But the offense depends on how many strikes. If someone says racist hurtful shit about a person and means it, I can get deeply offended.

Re: The American Apocalypse
Being deeply offended about someone's odious opinion is one thing.
Being deeply offended because someone horrible is doing something horrible to people or values or countries we love or respect is entirely another.

No, people who call people snowflakes do it mostly because they can't win with actual arguments, so they have to fall back on ad hominems.

Re: The American Apocalypse
Their points are that they don't like people's words and want them to be forced to shut up or for there to be closets put aside for them to hide in to cower in fear of those words. The name itself is a way of addressing their points and rejecting such via mocking. If you want protected from the words of others buy some earplugs.Blackhawk wrote:Which has exactly what to do with either what I said or calling people names in lieu of addressing their actual points?Rip wrote:There is no argument that justifies denying someone the opportunity to speak.

Sounds as though all of the Democrats should start only speaking from prepared statements with Pelosi thinking Bush is still POTUS.

And there's the problem. In order to make you happy and keep himself popular in your eyes, he is ignoring "the haters" and "doing what has to be done." The problem is that is your expectation. Push your agenda. Ignore everything else. But then willful ignorance is what this movement basks in, isn't it?Rip wrote:I'd love to, that would be one of the wisest things he has ever done.

Are you looking for an excuse turn on your Trumpsiah? Waiting for him to engage the enemy, the majority of Americans who have been gerrymandered into under represented districts? Waiting for him to stop ignoring them and ask questions and get answers regarding concerns? Waiting for him to pause before fanning the kindling set to burn it all to the ground?

U.S. Hate Crimes Up 20 Percent in 2016, Fueled by Election Campaign: Report
U.S. Hate Crimes Up 20 Percent in 2016, Fueled by Election Campaign: Report
Hate crimes in nine U.S. metropolitan areas rose more than 20 percent last year, fueled by inflamed passions during the presidential campaign and more willingness for victims to step forward, a leading hate crimes researcher said on Monday.
Bias crimes appeared to increase in some cities following the Nov. 8 election of President Donald Trump, a trend that has extended into this year with a wave of bomb threats and desecrations at synagogues and Jewish cemeteries, according to California researcher Brian Levin.
