I think you need some sleepytime tea or something. You need to calm down. That whole post is just bait and vitriol.

I'm serious. All the time. Everything is serious business, not "bait and vitriol", as that is for children and the unserious.

Seriously.

You caught him in the fact that a lot of right wingers DID advocate obamas death. To Gani being confronted with the fact that the average conservative thinks black people are subhuman is an unforgivable sin since it rumbles his worldview and forces him to actually think (this is the guy who ignores that the southern strategy was admitted to by the rnc chairman, that the term cultural marxism originates in an anti semitic conspiracy theory and who ignores that given the same opportunity a lot of christians in america would GLEEFULLY stone gays to death in the street and bring back the old testament yet acts like a few idiot muslims have any chance of introducing widespread sharia and taking over the US; he's also stupid enough to think al franken won by a rigged election when an investigation determined he won fair and square. He lives in an echo chamber and reacts violently to dissent.)


Edit: Didn't need the last bit. Gani's still an idiot though

Yoggy, you might want to tone it down.

Is it really what you want to do with your life fellow internet people ?

Yoggy, here's your problem:

You actually believe this. No hyperbole, right? You actually think this is mathematically true.

What about the Julius Caesar play in 2012 at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis?

I am handclaw and this is my favorite thread on Scrolls of Lore!... oh wait, nope... Just another bitching thread.

Well I, for one, am glad to hear the United States mocks all its politicians with the same set of rules.

That said, if people could keep their image dumps for the Bolvar's shitposting thread, and/or stop being asshats, that'd be for the best.

Not mathematically but in general racists tend to be more conservative. The southern democrats were more conservative than northern democrats for instance. That's not to say liberal racists don't exist but in general racists tend to be more conservative than liberal. It's an ugly thing to admit but it's true. Gani lashed out when confronted with the fact that those lynching images were held at mainstream conservative rallies.

I also meant it when I said a lot of christians would CHEERFULLY be stoning gays to death in the street if they could (and unlike Muslim funds THEY have a chance of getting their agenda passed). People like John Hagee, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum seem VERY keen on bringing back the old testament, and at least 57% of all republican voters are not opposed to a theocracy. Hell American Evangelicals helped create the current laws in uganda that allow the death penalty for homosexuality.

THAT Is why people are more willing to go after christians. There's an atrocious double standard where Christian fundies are portrayed as harmless when given the power they would gleefully make America a theocracy. In fact, given that they actually have the ability to carry out their agenda (as opposed to a few isolated muslims who are generally dismissed as losers in their own community) Christian fundamentalists are FAR more dangerous.

It's also why "regressive leftist" is a snarl world. It's basically used by people who want to act like christianity is a shining beacon of light and that muslims are a monolith who must become "house muslims" in order to fit in.

^ Since you're saying things like "not mathematically" and "a lot of" (instead of "most" or "virtually all"), you've demonstrated that I was incorrect when I asserted you weren't using hyperbole.

So, fair enough.

I realized I'd gone a little to fair so I went back. I'm sorry if I went overboard

I have encountered misogyny even from people who vote Democrat.

I can't believe it! I won't believe it!

So apparently Bill 89 was passed in the Ontario legislature.
Reading up on what people were saying I wasn't sure if the panic was proper or not.

You have some arguing that since now the bill (which it is a long bill) has provisions saying that they will take into consideration certain elements it goes too far.

The "creed, community identity and cultural identity." is new. Previous elements of the law allowed it to be in line with the family's religious views.

Some people fear that if their child is say of a particular religious persuasion or not and they were to send them to a Catholic school or something to that effect that this would be illegal.

The other element would be the expansion of the "Best Interests of the Child" notion.

So people are worried that they removed the raising up in a religious upbringing part and focused more on the childs wishes. If a boy wishes to be a girl and the parent disagrees people are worried they'll be taken away.

On the otherhand we've had Youth reform advocates arguing that the bill has too much loose wording. That it doesn't go far enough and doesn't have any teeth.

I feel like politics is more divisive than sex is. Someone hating feminism doesn't mean they are going to hate me. It is just what people of a specific political persuasion do. A person that takes politics really seriously is more likely to mistreat me or treat me unfairly than someone doing so because I am a woman.

I don't deny sexism exists. Both positive and negative. The vitriolic surrounding politics is really insane in the US though. Racism and sexism should have never been conflated with this because it means people think you can't be sexist if you vote Democrat and a word that means something very specific became a more generic negative insult.

Just remember, anyone on the other side is a Nazi.

Awkward for the peps who identify as actual nazis. Not that I'd know of course!

Neo-Nazis/Skinheads? I dunno if it would be awkward, considering how militant they are.

Just tell them that everyone on the other side is not a Nazi, or not a true Nazi.

Well, maybe more like confusing, rather than awkward.


Eh, just calling the other side jewefied(is that a word?) would work just fine imo. Historical relevance and shit.
