Sam Durant ๐บ๐ธ Multimedia Artist โข End White Supremacy , by Poster Bob on Feb 24, 2021 23:48:40 GMT 1, Lotta overt lies like 'you can keep your doctor' and lots of dead innocent civilians from drone strikes. That's what you've got? "overt lies"? Have you been paying attention to the last 4 years or the previous 40?
Lotta overt lies like 'you can keep your doctor' and lots of dead innocent civilians from drone strikes. That's what you've got? "overt lies"? Have you been paying attention to the last 4 years or the previous 40? I love how you just avoided his reference to Drone King's legacy of collateral damage. He set a murderous precedent which Trump used to escalate America's extrajudicial murders. |

You said "of course everyone is against white supremacy just like everyone is against nuclear war". Nuclear war is something that has happened. The idea of white supremacy is something that has and is happening, something that everyone is against right? Therefore it's something that exists as evidenced by, at the bare minimum, the KKK. Oh, and "tell your friend kettle" was in reference to the other user I noted earlier in this response. Does what I posted make a little more sense to you after that explanation? I do not know the user 'kettle' so I wouldn't call him my 'buddy' exactly. Also, I'm not responsible for what other random internet-users say or do. On topic:ย Yes, white supremacy exists. Black supremacy exists. There are also people that like to have sex with eels (long live the internet). I still don't get your point. The fact something exists says nothing about how big of an actual problem it is in society. In the case of white supremacy, it is a non-issue as the only people that are (proud) white supremacists are (rightfully) shunned from polite society and don't hold positions of power as they would immediately be fired or recalled from political positions. There is not a single person that calls him or herself a 'white supremacist' holding any political office anywhere in the world.
Stay ignorant.

Since when do you have to be proud and self proclaimed? Although Steve Bannon, advisor to the last POTUS, is. And it wasn't that long ago that John Matze, CEO of Parler was fired by the board for planning to ban Neo Nazi groups from the platform.
Your argument that the numbers involved don't make it an issue is utterly bizarre. Stop defending it.

The other link is fun because it mentions Milo who is gay-married to a black man. Way to be white supremacist.

Someone makes a bunch of statements, you start breaking them down point by point, they accuse you of being something or supporting something or ignoring something for not responding to everything at once, they still avoid taking responsibility for what they claim or say, and then just call names. It's sad to see people like that.

It's not really your fault that you think these ideas are anywhere on the spectrum of what most people would consider a respectful and equal unification of people from various backgrounds. For a lot of you, you were raised this way. It's been bred into you. You have the power to work hard and reap the dream that you've been sold. The world is a harsh place and you deserve a better lot in life than those "others" because they're "lazy" and "cheating the system". This all seems perfectly rational to you because it's your base frame of reference. "They" deserve what they get. You've been told that everyone has the same opportunity and that controls are in place to level the playing field for all types of people (even though you know these kinds of controls aren't really necessary because gosh darn it if you work hard enough, you WILL live the dream). It's ok that you feel so strongly that this is the case.
It's also ok to change your mind.
You're fighting against a clear message to unify by disingenuously calling it dividing.

Having a relationship/fling with a person with a different skin colour to your own is not a fetish its just attraction and is pretty standard round my way. Was edging on the side of caution with the word fettish because I thought mojo was about 12 judging by her initial input ( A fing for smashing black crack ) feel better now , and round your way being chavsvill.
It strikes me that 'Chavsvill' instills far better manners, comprehension and spelling than your own.
You're very welcome to visit 'Chavsvill' if you are ever in the area, I'm sure some of my friends would be absolutely delighted to meet you, particularly after reading this thread. My advice is it's perhaps best you stay well away from Chavsvill ...you wouldn't last five minutes round here with your attitude.

Messiah, suicide bomber, martyrs, Club27 Icon ... you'd be surprised how often one can find that in a job description.
But agree. It would help the "conversation" to refrain from such extreme statements.

It's a turn of phrase, and with respect if that's the only point you want to pick up on on this thread, read it again...although it really doesn't make for very pleasant reading. I've been attempting not to get involved with these type of threads of late as they invariably end up in a nasty spat and lets face it we're hardly going to solve anything on here! My fault for rising to the bait. Apologies.
If you say your job was "literally to die for" , you literally say that it's not a turn of phrase.
Since that is the meaning of "literally".
Which makes your claim you had high end jobs less believable.
Unless it didn't involve speaking English....

If you say your job was "literally to die for" , you literally say that it's not a turn of phrase. Since that is the meaning of "literally". Which makes your claim you had high end jobs less believable. Unless it didn't involve speaking English.... That is definitely not true. As I am not a native speaker either, I'll let Merriam-Webster do the explaining:
"Can literally mean figuratively?
One of the definitions of literally that we provide is "in effect, virtuallyโused in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible." Some find this objectionable on the grounds that it is not the primary meaning of the word, "with the meaning of each individual word given exactly." However, this extended definition of literally is commonly used and is not quite the same meaning as figuratively ("with a meaning that is metaphorical rather than literal").
Is the extended use of literally new?
The "in effect; virtually" meaning of literally is not a new sense. It has been in regular use since the 18th century and may be found in the writings of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontรซ, James Joyce, and many others.
Is the extended use of literally slang?
Among the meaning of literally is one which many people find problematic: "in effect, virtuallyโused in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible." Neither this nor any of the other meanings of literally is what we would consider slang. This sense has been in standard use by many esteemed writers since the 18th century."
