Verbally abused by Racist A Hole

This country is straight garbage now.

 

Maybe you are a warrior.

 

Glad you reported this to his company. He has no business treating an elderly lady (or you) that way. The fact he did it on the clock only serves to make him accountable. Hopefully there is a consequence.

 

Impressive you stuck up for her. She’ll remember that forever.

 

Kinda agree, but there's still plenty of room to enjoy our country. It's becoming increasingly easy to locate instances of suffering, stupidity, and assholery. About a month ago my wife, dog and I drove to Colorado. Stayed a few nights in the mountains, did some hiking, and ate some excellent meals. I collected bottles of outstanding whiskey along the way. We had a fantastic time and saw some beautiful landscapes. Along the way, I was thinking about how nice things were. Sure, there's room to acknowledge privilege in this space and I'm happy to do so. At the same time, we have worked really hard to be in the position to enjoy some of the wonders and spoils of the U.S.

This isn't to discount all the challenges and suffering of Americans and American women in particular of late. I just think too much of the douchebaggery gets highlighted and not enough of the greatness gets attention.

 

That guy is probably ranting on Facebook about the woke SJW who tried to cancel him at work today.

 

Having the life experiences I do, I feel very privileged to live in this country. And as you said, I do think the bad gets elevated too often at the detriment of the good.

 

Acting like this has become socially acceptable to a certain element of the culture. I won't elucidate on the obvious reason (person) why.

 

My bad. At any rate, he was an Ahole to both you and her.

 

FWIW, I take being called a social justice warrior as a compliment. If I'm going to be recognized as a warrior for something, I'm glad it's justice. And I'm proud of it.

 

Do you think we can make America great again?

 

You nailed it. They “feel” aggrieved versus actually being aggrieved.

 

I don't think America was ever really as great as some people would say. It's a great country with such wild ups and downs that to claim it the greatest country on earth is foolish, imo. To answer your question, which may or may not have been serious, I don't think we can make the U.S. much better. "America," btw, fails to recognize so many of the other nations in the Americas. We need to get the Govt straightened out, that's for damn sure, but I don't see it happening in our lifetime.

 

I was the recipient of a little mini road rage today. I was making a right turn out of a convenience store and some guy in one of those little rice burners with the loud mufflers didn't like the fact he had to take his foot of the gas when I pulled out and laid on his horn. Half a block up the road the light was red anyway and once again as soon as the light turned green he laid on the horn again. It was in a 25 mph zone so I made sure for the next few blocks my speedometer didn't read 1 mph over 25. As soon as he got the opportunity to go around me he floored it and cut in real sharp to try to run me off the road. People can be such ass holes.
