I've dealt with that shit my whole life, not my fault I have greater brain capacity for storing knowledge.

And Pally is female.

At least know your opponents before starting a row.

Dude, I explained it to you last year: you post almost everywhere I look and your verbal diarrhea is contained therein, so I'll thumb down to my heart's content as it is a tiny, miniscule bit of catharsis.

EDIT* And I'm done, between this and the other thread, I've gotten too hot under the collar and don't wish to do anything potentially rash.

There's something really wrong with this world, when we all just cannot tolerate (not even love, TOLERATE) anybody's lifestyle and things that make them happy. Really unfortunate.

Oddly enough when I was in college I was at my most conservative.

I wasn't a Republican or anything because they were all about social conservatism, Jesus government, and war but I had major "what about us straight white guys?" energy.  I was young, selfish, and didn't have a real world perspective yet. 

I bought into that Idea that people like me were going to get a raw deal because everyone was into promoting everything I wasn't.  Eventually I realized promoting what I'm not doesn't mean demoting what I am. As I built my own self confidence and personal and professional resume I stopped looking for others to "make things fair" for me.

I wasn't exactly "where is white history month?" But those notions were in my mind which is extra funny because I'm the only person I know who had liberal parents.  


Anyways for me the older I got and the more I grew as a person the more confidence I had to allow others to succeed on the personal and social level.

And once again it's not germane to a discussion about college campus protest.  If you want to have a separate conversation about that then feel free to do so outside the context of this particular back and forth.  I think you would agree that staying on topic is important to a clear exchange of ideas and information.

No, in that post I was not confining my statements to college campuses.  So, no, that wasn't changing the subject.  As stated above I'm happy to have the conversation as well, just not in the context of discussing speech suppression and violence on college campuses.

And you continue to change the subject.  Again, if you want to have that discussion do so outside the exchange on college campus protests.  Alternatively, you could admit the rather obvious fact that in this regard, and on this topic, the left is far more censorious and violent than the right.  Doing so would not hurt an argument about this topic in other facets and it would allow us to move on to those other topics you're clearly keen on shifting the conversation to.

Ahh, a rather different kettle of fish here.  I assume you're referring to Florida, but since you gave no specific example I'm left to just guess.

Bud Light has lost something like six billion in sales and market value.

My question is, is this country right that a man can't be a woman and a woman can't be a man or are beer drinkers just a bunch of bigots?

However, if you have firm beliefs in something, sometimes it's more important to share that stance, even if it causes some people to walk away and profits to decline.

People should buy a product if it's good quality, or not buy a product if it's bad quality.
Bud Light as a product sucks, which is why I haven't voluntarily bought it since college lol.

Beer sellers and most producers of any product for the public to buy only care about money.

Yes, some might care about the country and things like that, but most major corporations stay away from things that could divide or drive away their consumers.

Bud Light wasn't "taking a stand here," they were trying to cash in on the woke culture and, thank God, it backfired, which has somewhat renewed my faith in this country.

I mention that because the company itself is also not "American," despite doing pro-America campaigns and all that.

It's all about marketing, whatever to try to get people to buy things.
Putting the American flag on the beers and using red, white, and blue for their colors is also a marketing plan.
