no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside random thoughts Send a noteboard - 17/10/2017 11:51:08 AM

Conservatives are not upset that they can't use racial slurs they are upset that victimhood culture isn't really about equal rights it about special rights. Unless your a victim you have no input. The left has an issue that they don't believe the rules they want to impose on the on others they brand as racist to be applied to them so it is critical to be in the victim category.

The left is worried that the white men are starting to use the identity politics that the left has so readily embraced. It should scare them, identity politics are at their core racist.

All generations experienced different cultures with different views *NM* random thoughts - 17/10/2017 11:41:40 AM 545 Views
Agreed but there is a difference in severity between 1997 to 2017 vs 997 to 1017 *NM* Roland00 - 18/10/2017 05:52:14 AM 557 Views

This article agrees with your assessment The Shrike - 17/10/2017 02:30:03 PM 1091 Views
I appreciate your amendment. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 03:14:19 AM 1255 Views

Most of us are very good at that random thoughts - 17/10/2017 08:24:50 PM 984 Views
Thanks. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:00:42 PM 894 Views
I disagree with relation to trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:17:45 PM 973 Views
A fair point. - Still, how far will you extend them? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:47:50 AM 932 Views
I don't know, but I'm not entirely sure it's a big deal either way. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 02:56:09 AM 879 Views
Nods Roland00 - 18/10/2017 03:17:17 AM 908 Views
And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:02:44 PM 1082 Views
Re: And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 08:48:01 PM 989 Views
How would you propose such warnings be worded? damookster - 18/10/2017 09:21:02 PM 968 Views
Do you know a lot of people who suffer from PTSD? Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 05:26:06 AM 1154 Views
Stop. Now. Tom - 19/10/2017 06:21:13 AM 885 Views
Avoidance isn't the purpose of those warnings, though. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 06:32:16 AM 924 Views
You would ruin the literature though. And discussions around the literature. The Shrike - 19/10/2017 01:21:20 PM 965 Views
That's reasonable. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 11:58:56 PM 940 Views
Third party website? I fully support that. The Shrike - 20/10/2017 12:41:33 PM 1112 Views
Peace for our time! I agree with everything you wrote here. I'm always a sucker for more studies. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:03:31 AM 506 Views
Well argument settled becuase they already exist random thoughts - 23/10/2017 01:46:55 PM 856 Views
Yeah but they don't necessarily exist for works of literature usually read at the university level The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:28:35 PM 893 Views
That is true but it could fixed if there was more demand random thoughts - 24/10/2017 10:00:21 PM 907 Views
I feel like I now need a trigger warning for trigger warnings. *NM* The Shrike - 25/10/2017 12:48:47 PM 585 Views

Re: Oh please Ghavrel - 20/10/2017 12:01:02 AM 949 Views
What is your basis for arguing that "trigger warnings" are beneficial? Tom - 20/10/2017 07:19:42 PM 935 Views
Ha! Joke's on you! We don't do interrogatories in the criminal system. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:01:54 AM 936 Views
If you are not proposing altering any literature... Tom - 22/10/2017 04:28:53 PM 930 Views
I'm just gonna put this out there... Jeordam - 20/10/2017 07:24:55 PM 939 Views
Eh, I don't think that's accurate. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:04:58 AM 870 Views
An unnecessary tool.... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:14:06 PM 914 Views
Why does this reasoning apply to PTSD but not to other diseases? PTSD is a physical issue. Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 12:33:31 AM 877 Views
I would challenge that statment.... Jeordam - 24/10/2017 05:14:17 PM 1079 Views
Do you actually believe those examples are valid? *NM* random thoughts - 23/10/2017 07:32:59 PM 513 Views

Maybe the victimhood thing is another kind of honor Cannoli - 17/10/2017 01:02:43 PM 988 Views
Because it's easier to absolve oneself of power sometimes. For those people anyway. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:10:41 PM 929 Views
I apologize before hand Roland00 - 18/10/2017 01:11:59 AM 927 Views
Only made it through page 2. Were there separate graphs for just N. American/West European nations? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:04:05 PM 911 Views
I haven't read all the comments, so I apologize if I'm doubling up nossy - 17/10/2017 01:06:00 PM 1139 Views
Oh those echo chambers. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:16:40 PM 1049 Views
I hate blaming things nossy - 17/10/2017 02:04:44 PM 1108 Views
I'm not even sure "echo chamber" is the right phrase Tom - 17/10/2017 02:17:07 PM 1050 Views
I'm not sure that is the most common choice. nossy - 17/10/2017 05:21:52 PM 1140 Views
I get irritated too. But I still keep them in my news feed as well. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:49:45 PM 924 Views
Je ne regrette rien. My memes are both spicy and piquant. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:20:55 PM 501 Views
I'm of Russian extraction. I like my food bland. Garlic, dill, salt, pepper. It's enough for me. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:52:27 AM 900 Views
You know, I'd not thought about that. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 03:07:05 AM 964 Views
I find him intriguing as a Captain. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:09:07 PM 987 Views
So now we are at episode 6 The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:31:06 PM 835 Views
6 was by far the best episode of the series. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 08:07:55 PM 524 Views

I do think some of this is specifically American and to a lesser extent the rest of the Anglosphere. Legolas - 17/10/2017 06:26:33 PM 959 Views
Agreed with all your points. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:53:23 PM 975 Views
The Netherlands, I'm not so sure about. Legolas - 17/10/2017 11:43:54 PM 927 Views
My apologies. I see Dutch and don't think of Belgium. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:56:26 AM 966 Views
That's alright. This is a confusing country in many ways. Legolas - 18/10/2017 08:58:15 PM 938 Views
America and to a lesser extent the rest of the Anglosphere puts a higher valuer on liberty *NM* random thoughts - 19/10/2017 01:53:50 PM 547 Views
Yes, in some ways it does. *NM* Legolas - 19/10/2017 05:38:41 PM 547 Views

Maybe, maybe not... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:18:16 PM 868 Views
