    He wouldn't know my buttons if I slapped the crayons out of his mouth and drew him a map.

    I suspect his wife can relate.

    You've spent the last few days arguing that disabled individuals should be in custody so they don't get in the way of the rest of society.

    In custody or under supervision, as is appropriate for their level of dysfunction and criminal history. That's not the group overriding the individual, that's the individual's merit dictating his ability to engage with the adult free world. And if you don't like that, take it up with those who hold up dysfunctional people as an excuse to limit my ability to do this or that, despite my presenting no danger to anyone.

    Some hairy chick I met at a Pearl Jam concert not being responsible enough to let me finish in her butt or buy her own morning after pill shouldn't result in financial obligations for me for the next 18 years! Our agreed upon transaction was for five sweaty minutes only, anything else tacked on afterwards by the state is tantamount to slavery! :ua:

    Eh, a lot of UA's posting is very FYGM and conveys a limited empathy for anyone with different life experiences to his own, but on WF he has always been very consistent in arguing that many people shouldn't be having kids, and calling for more parental responsibility.

    My dysfunction is at issue the moment it threatens someone else.

    Belief that I do not hold myself to the same standards I apply to everyone else would be another indicator that you have no idea who the fuck you're talking to.

    And yet other peoples dysfunction becomes an issue the moment it becomes "an excuse to limit my ability to do this or that."
    You just showed a different standard for yourself than everyone else. :async:

    Interesting point, but neither will the Dems. Bloomberg couldn't even beat the lowest of the dem candidates in the primaries. The dems also seemed to rally against his policy when he did it, so the idea that it is a dem issue is really stupid, but that is so you.

    Guess what, boss?

    For a hundred and fifty fucking YEARS - MINIMUM - kids in most of the country including me and likely you were taught from at least middle school straight through goddamn COLLEGE a completely fictional bullshit Lost Cause myth that whitewashed the Civil War and tried to turn every brain into a clone of Muad Dib's - and conservatives to the last man or woman (as if they gave a shit what women wanted) were FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNEEEEEE with that straight up undiluted propaganda that divorced multiple generations of white kids from any conception of the reality of what took place not just during the war but during reconstruction and all the buried genocidal bullshit they kept on doing right into the 1960's


    When you propose that ***NOW*** we're supposed to be both-sidsing the history of slavery and race relations in this country from 1619 to at least 1970 what you are actually saying is that in order to be good critical thinkers we need to be able to consider what ACTUALLY happened, AND that KKK wet dream bullshit that DIDN'T

    HARD - and I cannot emphasize this enough - GODDAMN *PASS*

    I watched this a couple of days ago.

    https://www.pbs.org/video/the-neutral-ground-b3aoig/

    I love how even when presented with the actual words from both the Confederate leaders and government documents of the time that codified slavery into law that they still say, "Nah. That never happened." :lol: :jayzus:

    The whole purpose of this is to label the tiny bit of truth taught by schools about the history of america as CRT so that they can make more effort to bury it in white controlled school districts. The karens are going wild turning school board meetings into shouting matches because their kids might be taught the confederate states thought black people were animals to be traded. I was in school and kids scratched the surface and came up with racism. The dots were never connected by the teacher, but critical thinking students could put together the dots. Now they really want any teacher who gives that student an A for basic level critical thought to have to abuse the child because the teacher will be disciplined or fired if they happen to be seen telling the truth by the brown shirt children.

    This is trying to criminalize the teaching of the truth. You will be punished if some parent takes issue with what you teach because it is what they think CRT is. The right is drumming up this action by a loud minority that is the equal of a loud chimpanzee screaming and throwing poop. You cannot let the monkeys run the schools. It is time we start calling the CRT haters, anti-vaxers, and trumpanzees the monkeys they are. We do not have to shoot them, and dems do not want to, but we also have to keep them out of adult's running the world.

    But it is an extension of your case and not an absurdly fantastical one.

    Our friend Baby Doc allowed his population to starve rather than accept anything other than the highest possible standards of living for himself.

    Dozens of other dictators and warlords have followed the same logic, treating their own personal choices as being of far more importance than any consideration about how others are affected or how better those resources could be used.

    Such as improving healthcare...

    Over-correcting in the opposite direction is NOT a magical recipe for a fair and just society.

    *edit*
    And yes, leaping from "some people are guilty" to "everyone is guilty and you a villain for not making superficial displays of anti-whatever at all times" IS over-correction.

    Does this bot ever spit out anything good? Really, @Jenee you cannot possibly be a decent person around this POS. I can get hanging out for a while and not making a thing, but a relationship with such ass shows you are of the ass yourself.

    Are you talking about healthcare? Because if so, you should let the rest of us know your secret. Unless it's emergency care, it is not something that most of the U.S. gets to do even with good insurance.

    You are making a ton of assumptions here and I'd like to know what they are based on. My life experience completely counters the assumptions you make here.

    Even I do not reply to my own posts like this.

    It is sad that @Jenee and @Uncle Albert are ping ponging their arguments for all of us to see before they collapse in some psychotic heap of sex and resentment, but if you are going to do this you should really spawn some sock puppets. When I am telling you to get a fucking life, you might want to seriously think about it.

    If you feel there has been a significant over-correction you should make your thoughts known by voting in the next election, and the one after that, and so on.

    As well as again misconstruing what CRT is. CRT is (simplistically) looking at how laws that are neutral on their face and passed with no discriminatory intent can still be part of a discriminatory system. As such, it is does not have examine every possible cause of every segment of disparate outcomes.

    It's based on bullshit spouted by Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, and a ton of insecure GenX podcasters.
