I was not calling anyone a name.  I meant that in the general sense.

Sure buddy.  Me and Fox and the GOP support all those things.

You may not have been targeting anyone specifically on this board, but it was in a "general sense" still directed at individuals. It was denigrative name calling. It is what it is.

This classic. Using 100% ass hole language to try and argue that you are not an ass hole.

I never said you did, but thanks for outing yourself. 

I won't say it'll make it easier to ignore everything you say - that was easy enough already - but I will point out how refreshing it is to see your kind own what you are.

It was meant more as a general state of mind more than it was name calling.  When "you" are so fragile that your life is consumed with tearing down statues and changing names/mascots and crying about Dr. Seuss books I don't know what to say.  I stand by what I said.  How people that mentally weak even make it a day in this world is beyond me.

Right, that was sarcasm, but you know that.  Ignore away bro.

Being an asshole would be telling those people directly how they are acting.  I wouldn't do that cause i'm a nice guy.

What about Nike, The Dixie Chicks, Kaepernick, Dr. Seuss (when it is about saving the trees) etc?

Does that make them "mentally weak"?

And the denigration continues. Denigration is asshole behavior.

Being an asshole is being denigrative in general. Not saying it to their face shows a lack of courage and conviction. If you feel a way about someone and you aren't willing to say it to their face, then you shouldn't say it at all.

Yes.  

And the Dixie Chicks got rid of a cool name cause..............somebody cried.  It was a cool name.  Now they have a PC name.  Congrats.  Now I think of baby chicks instead of a cool country band.

Right, right...It was "offensive".  Of course it was, everything is offensive to people like this and it's old, stale and worn out.

No, I just don't like being mean to already fragile people.  It could break them.

Look at you complaining about someone doing something of their own free will.  

So fragile. Weak minded.

You're the kind of person who pushes people after they say no to whatever and you keep pushing and pushing until they snap and then you're like 'it's just a joke bro', aren't ya?

Except in this instance, you accidentally outed yourself as one of several universally reviled things and now you're trying to back pedal with the 'it's just a joke bro' defense. 

It's juvenile at best, most likely full on insincere, and undoubtedly hilarious to watch.

That's just an observation and what comes to my mind now when I hear their name.  I personally don't give a hoot if they want a stupid name to appease the PC Police. 

Weak minded would be boycotting the band because you cannot handle the new name, protesting their concerts, burning their posters on Facebook, etc.  

Nice try though.

Say what?  Are you serious right now?   lmfao!!!!!!

And it was not a joke, it was sarcasm.  Did you not see the smirk after the comment?

Thanks for the laugh!

You obviously read my posts, so you should know I dislike pretty much all pols on either side and dislike Trump and Biden and pretty much think ALL news outlets are agenda/narrative driven at this point.

You keep complaining about other people wanting to change things, but then you complain about things that got changed.

You list things the "left" tried to "cancel" exclusively, and when prompted suddenly think the "other side" is just as bad.

Almost like you're just making it up as you go to make an argument.  Weird.

I read your posts when my name is attached to them.

Thats how I know you're either pro-Nazi, pro-bigot, pro-racist, pro-hate speech, or pro-police brutality. I also know you lack the ability to read a comment and get the point when it's hammering you over the head.

But go ahead and keep up the snarky comments with zero substance. I like to read your weak attempts to weasel out of the hole you've dug yourself into.

Pro-racist, pro-Nazi... this is a bit much, especially when there's moral highground to be held.

He's not "pro-Nazi". Even logically, this makes as much sense as calling liberals "pro-criminal" or "pro uncontrolled immigration".
