    Tell us, Bill, when you were in school and taught about how Homo Sapiens killed off Neanderthals, did they tell you that was your fault as well?

    it's the intentional misrepresentation in "responsible for" rather than "benefitted from"... (well, other than the crusades. That's just randomly added to pad the list, it appears)
    but it's not like Bill and a certain other poster here don't know this.

    Pretty sure neither “other poster” or Bill ever felt responsible for slavery at 8 years old. Bill doesn’t have the capacity to deviate from what he has been convinced vs finding the truth. The “other poster” … just likes to argue.

    no... but they've both repeatedly worried over being "held responsible" and that this is how kids are being taught plenty of times.

    to argue would mean bringing an actual argument. nearly 20 years and still ain't seen one beyond contrarianism and self aggrandizement.

    Damn. You guys bitch about UA’s word salads….

    If the kids are being taught they are responsible, then sure, they will worry. The argument is that kids are not being taught that. So, I’ve no idea what you’re saying here.

    what part of that was unclear in a word salad sense?

    it's not like it's a string of abjectly objectionable adjectives. quite the opposite, and seems pretty concise.


    your reading comprehension and caffeination may still be balancing out. in this case, "worried" is synonymous with "expressed concerns/parroted talking points"... (english is a versatile language in this regard-probably why it works so well for poetry).

    Motherfucker, your shit is "correct" for the Randroid tribe.
    You just can't accept you're a dime-a-dozen tired example of one, and not a special snowflake.
    But that narcissism is dime-a-dozen and tired too.

    I've never claimed I was unique. Nobody who interacts with the real world even occasionally can hold onto that delusion.

    You know who also exists in abundance? Failure to launch ,"above it all" idle critic motherfuckers who never run out of opinions on people who actually get out and attempt things.

    UA probably sees himself as "the last ordinary man IN A WORLD GONE MAD/WOKE!!!" in order to maintain that aura of fake humility. :async:

    No, but that was before wokeness entered every aspect of life. Political correctness was well underway though.

    So you’re saying it’s okay to spy on Americans by lying to a FISA court as long as you just know they’re guilty of something?

    Making the star of your new Star Wars trilogy a Mary Sue while at the same time emasculating your male hero.

    Emasculating Indiana Jones in his own movie.

    Emasculating Nick Fury in his own show.

    Emasculating Pike in his own series.

    Emasculating Thor in his own movie.

    Emasculating James Bond in his own movie.

    Bringing children to drag queen story hour.

    Turning Michael Burnham into a Mary Sue.

    Teaching kids that they are privileged because of the color of their skin, thus going against the very principles we learned from MLK.

    Teaching kids that the founding of the United States is 1619 because that's when colonial powers introduced slaves into the new world.

    Making kids obey the pronoun police.

    The list goes on.

    That's not a definition, that's laundry list of grievances. Can you provide a proper definition of the term "wokeness?"

    You in fact did not. Even lawyers representing Ron DeSantis were able to provide a definition of "wokeness," but for some reason you can't.

    @shootER had it right. :shrug:

    I'm not even going to bother responding to the "content" of your post since it's clear you probably couldn't define "left," "like," "Nazi," or "yeah," if your life depended on it. :async:


    Oh no, I've "emasculated" you now. How "woke" of me. :bergman:
