if we do ever come out to vegas, we'll bring her along so's you can meet her. So far she's liked exactly two people besides me and gizmo (the person, not the dog. She hates gizmo the dog)

Don't think I could ever bring myself to give her up though, no matter how frustrating life with her can be.

Obama's an adult; he can take my criticism of his policies and administration without assuming racist intent just because I'm not fawning. I suggest you emulate him at least in that regard.
You miss the entire point, in general and in the specific context of this thread.

This has nothing to do with partisanship or even politics in general. We can replace 'President Obama' with 'Mr. Flibberty Gibbet' for simplicity's sake.

You said Mr. Flibberty Gibbet did so much damage to the Blergy Bloop. You didn't provide even 1 example, even an incorrect example, of Gibbet's damage to the Bloop.

Then, another poster says you made a ridiculous statement, and rather than taking your 2nd chance to provide an example you instead demand that poster provide an example of what Mr. Flibberty Gibbet did that was so good for the Blergy Bloop.

This is such ridiculous and ****ty posting that, like I said, there's a meme surrounding it. And, again, it has nothing to do with your politics, but you might want to ask yourself why 1 'side' seems to exclusively engage in such ****tiness.


p.s. The idiot doth protest too much in regards to the race issue, and also,

Not to put too fine a point on it but you didn't make any. That's the point.

Aww, now I want you guys to meet her. But as much as we joke about getting her rehomed, we could never. She's too good at cuddling ❤️

no matter our past and present differences, you guys are always welcome to visit my home and we'll all go on a hike or to the dog park if it's summer time. and then off to the bar.

very good post

How about modding wil in unchained together with well named and getting rid of Chez and his sidekick?

Surely wil would not be more disliked as a mod in unchained by the left than wookie is disliked by the right. We would get some semblance of balance.
06-25-2017 , 05:05 PM
How about not modding the 4'6" ball of hate with an anger problem and a penchant for posting lame threats.

sorry. Noodle, just fyi I do not personally have any beef with anyone in vegas and that includes mat or whoever else. The only people out there who even would have any thoughts about me jm3 and fam(cool) and like 1 or 2 weirdoes who want to kill me. and the people who actualy want to kill me are not 2p2. True story.
06-26-2017 , 07:26 AM
Why on earth would anyone want to kill you, Bryce?

I read this entry https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/06/2...nst-murderism/

It seems like the main points are:

And when I see someone try to smash this machinery with a sledgehammer, it’s usually followed by an appeal to “but racists!”
and

Quote:
I’m saying that it’s very dangerous to treat “racism” as a causal explanation
But he gave mostly anecdotal evidence for these claims.

I agree that there are people that will call anyone on the other end of the political spectrum racist. But there are plenty of people capable of using the word correctly. I also don't think these people are a bigger problem than people dismissing any opinion because it's "leftists" or people using the word "libtard".
06-26-2017 , 10:19 AM
I think the more important point he raises is that there are several plausible definitions of racism that are often blurred together.

I also disagree with your second point. Accusations of racism are acutely toxic and can and have wrecked careers. I do not think accusations of "leftist" have done the same. Analytically, I agree that they are similar broad brushes, but I think the impact can be materially different.

I have never used the second label you quoted and never would. It's stupid and deconstructive and, worse yet, unsophisticated.

These aren't Q's you need to "think" about, fool. Instead, try googling yourself from a state of ignorance. LMFAO @U !!!1!

The nineteen-fifties are not exactly relevant to current political themes.

If they were fascists, you wouldn't hesitate to have a blacklist, but since their are communists, boo hoo., despite that throughout history communists have killed far more than fascists.

They were and would of been brought against Bernie and are used regularly (and badly) against modern dem politicians.

The cultural debate that picture reflects is clearly and obviously resolved. The issues to which that general theme has evolved are materially different and massively less important than those were.

Back to the point, however: does anyone seriously contend that accusations of "leftist" in today's world are as toxic as accusations of "racism"?
