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 457 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 467 Views

So we are back in the Age of Romanticism. Western Civilization has been there before. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:58:04 PM 777 Views
This article agrees with your assessment The Shrike - 17/10/2017 02:30:03 PM 853 Views
I appreciate your amendment. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 03:14:19 AM 1054 Views

Most of us are very good at that random thoughts - 17/10/2017 08:24:50 PM 789 Views
Thanks. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:00:42 PM 701 Views
I disagree with relation to trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:17:45 PM 763 Views
A fair point. - Still, how far will you extend them? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:47:50 AM 745 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 698 Views
Nods Roland00 - 18/10/2017 03:17:17 AM 720 Views
And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:02:44 PM 895 Views
Re: And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 08:48:01 PM 777 Views
How would you propose such warnings be worded? damookster - 18/10/2017 09:21:02 PM 751 Views
Do you know a lot of people who suffer from PTSD? Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 05:26:06 AM 924 Views
Stop. Now. Tom - 19/10/2017 06:21:13 AM 703 Views
Avoidance isn't the purpose of those warnings, though. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 06:32:16 AM 738 Views
You would ruin the literature though. And discussions around the literature. The Shrike - 19/10/2017 01:21:20 PM 766 Views
That's reasonable. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 11:58:56 PM 731 Views
Third party website? I fully support that. The Shrike - 20/10/2017 12:41:33 PM 860 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 431 Views
Well argument settled becuase they already exist random thoughts - 23/10/2017 01:46:55 PM 668 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 705 Views
That is true but it could fixed if there was more demand random thoughts - 24/10/2017 10:00:21 PM 714 Views
I feel like I now need a trigger warning for trigger warnings. *NM* The Shrike - 25/10/2017 12:48:47 PM 509 Views

Re: Oh please Ghavrel - 20/10/2017 12:01:02 AM 760 Views
What is your basis for arguing that "trigger warnings" are beneficial? Tom - 20/10/2017 07:19:42 PM 737 Views
Ha! Joke's on you! We don't do interrogatories in the criminal system. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:01:54 AM 775 Views
If you are not proposing altering any literature... Tom - 22/10/2017 04:28:53 PM 749 Views
I'm just gonna put this out there... Jeordam - 20/10/2017 07:24:55 PM 736 Views
Eh, I don't think that's accurate. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:04:58 AM 676 Views
An unnecessary tool.... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:14:06 PM 688 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 692 Views
I would challenge that statment.... Jeordam - 24/10/2017 05:14:17 PM 880 Views
Do you actually believe those examples are valid? *NM* random thoughts - 23/10/2017 07:32:59 PM 424 Views

Maybe the victimhood thing is another kind of honor Cannoli - 17/10/2017 01:02:43 PM 784 Views
Because it's easier to absolve oneself of power sometimes. For those people anyway. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:10:41 PM 729 Views
I apologize before hand Roland00 - 18/10/2017 01:11:59 AM 729 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 700 Views
I haven't read all the comments, so I apologize if I'm doubling up nossy - 17/10/2017 01:06:00 PM 879 Views
Oh those echo chambers. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:16:40 PM 824 Views
I hate blaming things nossy - 17/10/2017 02:04:44 PM 842 Views
I'm not even sure "echo chamber" is the right phrase Tom - 17/10/2017 02:17:07 PM 850 Views
I'm not sure that is the most common choice. nossy - 17/10/2017 05:21:52 PM 855 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 725 Views
Je ne regrette rien. My memes are both spicy and piquant. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:20:55 PM 420 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 714 Views
You know, I'd not thought about that. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 03:07:05 AM 765 Views
I find him intriguing as a Captain. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:09:07 PM 715 Views
So now we are at episode 6 The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:31:06 PM 639 Views
6 was by far the best episode of the series. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 08:07:55 PM 437 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 780 Views
Agreed with all your points. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:53:23 PM 788 Views
The Netherlands, I'm not so sure about. Legolas - 17/10/2017 11:43:54 PM 751 Views
My apologies. I see Dutch and don't think of Belgium. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:56:26 AM 752 Views
That's alright. This is a confusing country in many ways. Legolas - 18/10/2017 08:58:15 PM 729 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 456 Views
Yes, in some ways it does. *NM* Legolas - 19/10/2017 05:38:41 PM 462 Views

Maybe, maybe not... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:18:16 PM 646 Views
