    Jeez thank for the LOL. Calling someone a racist “should be flat illegal”. You’ve be-clowned yourself. You should leave the country in shame.

    I get what you are saying
    But calling someone… having an entire thread calling someone a racists is not helpful. That whole thread is nothing but opinions. Threads calling Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and others derogatory names for axes quickly. And those names were not as degenerate as calling out someone as racists.
    Calling a politician racists because you don’t like his or her platform is lazy
    Demanding that employees use Everify for migrant workers in FL got called racists. Even some on here who 5 years ago would have championed using Wveeify now call it racists. Why? It wasn’t their team that put it into action.
    Personally, I would like to see all the name calling and insult throwing come to an end. I thought we had a rule about that some time ago…

    So it’s cool to call someone a racists without offering proof as long as it’s not a poster in this board? Can I call any person or group of people anything I want as long as it is t directed toward a poster in this board?No proof needed
    I mean Desantis was called racists a few weeks back for making employers use Everify for migrant workers. Is that really racists?

    Go ahead and quote everything I said if your going to quote me
    Calling anyone a racists without Hard Evidence should be illegal due to the damage it causes. Nice cherry picking there.

    As for leaving the country… no thanks. I love my country. I wasn’t one of those that threw little hissy fits that my team didn’t win an election and claim I would leave the country.
    I’m sad to see that is your answer for people you disagree with… deport them. Nice. You have become what you have railed against.

    Yup, welcome to America. I don’t think you belong here though. Edit maybe you do and I don’t, IMO this country is sliding into the shitter thanks largely to view points like yours .

    Jeez you’re on a roll. I didn’t think you were so………. Also you have serious reading comprehension problems which is common with your ilk. I don’t want to deport anyone from America as it descends in to shithole status I’ll happily deport myself.

    You on the other hand? It looks like I’ll be deporting you to my ignore list.

    Wow
    One minor exchange and it was fairly civil until you started the insults… and you are ready for the ignore list? How many do you have on that list? Quite a few I would guess if it is this easy to get in it.
    Echo chamber much?

    Wut? I haven’t insulted you at all don’t be a.

    I’ve got about ten. I take all but two of every couple of months for the LOLZ until they say something vile and go back on. Typically less than two weeks.

    What view point of mine do you take offense to? That we shouldn’t throw around the word racist with out providing hard evidence? That just because we don’t like or agree with a policy doesn’t make the person putting it in place an evil racists warmonger ( add in any of the other insults so freely used on political leaders)?
    Yeah those are terrible viewpoints
    Or was it that I don’t think using Everify is racists and actually think it’s a great idea that should be used nation wide…
    So please tell us which of my viewpoints is so terrible.

    There’s that reading comprehension issue again, it’s that calling someone a racist without evidence (I’d love to see your definition of the word) “should be flat illegal”. It’s a non starter for any reasonable subsequent discussion with you, at least for me and I find it to be among the looniest things I’ve heard this month. To be fair to you the month is young.

    It’s really not. Provide evidence that is stronger than “I think so and so is racist”…
    If you disagree with me that’s fine .Go ahead and write an article for any paper and definitively call Desantis a racists. See how it holds up.
    I’d say the same if someone called Biden a pedo. And if someone doesn’t agree with me, doesn’t share my viewpoints i don’t put them on ignore. I’d rather hear their side of the argument instead of living in a smug self important echo chamber.

    I never said anything about changing rooms and never said Disney should do anything not being entitled to work and im certainly showing now outrage.

    This effort by you guys to create a manufactured narrative to argue with is puzzling.

    the pure irony of a person who calls person X a bigot because of his life choices, because person X doesn’t agree with person Z’s life choices. Mirror mirror on the wall…..

    When the Left's "GOD" comes from our government's handouts they have nothing more to thrive for...become complacent and useless.

    What's to fear about a man in a dress working at a Disney store? Afraid you might have to buy your kids overpriced Disney crap? Too late. You're already at Disney.

    And nobody fully understands humans. We're too diverse, way too complex, and capable of amazing change. Even the learned and experience psychology professional will be surprised from time to time. And we all have the capacity to surprise the person we know best. Ourselves.

    I understand the tribal nature of humanity. But I reject the notion that just because we were tribal in the past, that must be our future. Especially with the world "shrinking" on a global scale every year. Tribal feelings of stay with your own kind and fear others because of differences is what leads to hate. The smaller and smaller the world gets, the more we must learn to tolerate others and their differences. Otherwise, the world will only get more violent.

    I know I can't change the world. But I can teach my kids not to be scared of differences on the surface, and hope the pass that along to the next generation. Because a guy in a dress? Just a scary as a woman in a pants suit or basketball jersey. Not scary at all.
