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 523 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 528 Views

Re: no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside - uh, yes. nossy - 17/10/2017 01:44:26 PM 996 Views
Most of us are very good at that random thoughts - 17/10/2017 08:24:50 PM 936 Views
Thanks. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:00:42 PM 842 Views
I disagree with relation to trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:17:45 PM 907 Views
A fair point. - Still, how far will you extend them? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:47:50 AM 864 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 834 Views
Nods Roland00 - 18/10/2017 03:17:17 AM 852 Views
And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:02:44 PM 1024 Views
Re: And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 08:48:01 PM 912 Views
How would you propose such warnings be worded? damookster - 18/10/2017 09:21:02 PM 909 Views
Do you know a lot of people who suffer from PTSD? Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 05:26:06 AM 1085 Views
Stop. Now. Tom - 19/10/2017 06:21:13 AM 833 Views
Avoidance isn't the purpose of those warnings, though. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 06:32:16 AM 874 Views
You would ruin the literature though. And discussions around the literature. The Shrike - 19/10/2017 01:21:20 PM 913 Views
That's reasonable. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 11:58:56 PM 867 Views
Third party website? I fully support that. The Shrike - 20/10/2017 12:41:33 PM 1018 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 486 Views
Well argument settled becuase they already exist random thoughts - 23/10/2017 01:46:55 PM 804 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 824 Views
That is true but it could fixed if there was more demand random thoughts - 24/10/2017 10:00:21 PM 847 Views
I feel like I now need a trigger warning for trigger warnings. *NM* The Shrike - 25/10/2017 12:48:47 PM 563 Views

Re: Oh please Ghavrel - 20/10/2017 12:01:02 AM 897 Views
What is your basis for arguing that "trigger warnings" are beneficial? Tom - 20/10/2017 07:19:42 PM 880 Views
Ha! Joke's on you! We don't do interrogatories in the criminal system. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:01:54 AM 890 Views
If you are not proposing altering any literature... Tom - 22/10/2017 04:28:53 PM 877 Views
I'm just gonna put this out there... Jeordam - 20/10/2017 07:24:55 PM 877 Views
Eh, I don't think that's accurate. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:04:58 AM 809 Views
An unnecessary tool.... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:14:06 PM 840 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 822 Views
I would challenge that statment.... Jeordam - 24/10/2017 05:14:17 PM 1009 Views
Do you actually believe those examples are valid? *NM* random thoughts - 23/10/2017 07:32:59 PM 485 Views

Maybe the victimhood thing is another kind of honor Cannoli - 17/10/2017 01:02:43 PM 928 Views
Because it's easier to absolve oneself of power sometimes. For those people anyway. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:10:41 PM 883 Views
I apologize before hand Roland00 - 18/10/2017 01:11:59 AM 861 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 848 Views
I haven't read all the comments, so I apologize if I'm doubling up nossy - 17/10/2017 01:06:00 PM 1086 Views
Oh those echo chambers. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:16:40 PM 985 Views
I hate blaming things nossy - 17/10/2017 02:04:44 PM 1045 Views
I'm not even sure "echo chamber" is the right phrase Tom - 17/10/2017 02:17:07 PM 999 Views
I'm not sure that is the most common choice. nossy - 17/10/2017 05:21:52 PM 1084 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 860 Views
Je ne regrette rien. My memes are both spicy and piquant. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:20:55 PM 478 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 833 Views
You know, I'd not thought about that. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 03:07:05 AM 901 Views
I find him intriguing as a Captain. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:09:07 PM 897 Views
So now we are at episode 6 The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:31:06 PM 779 Views
6 was by far the best episode of the series. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 08:07:55 PM 501 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 907 Views
Agreed with all your points. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:53:23 PM 915 Views
The Netherlands, I'm not so sure about. Legolas - 17/10/2017 11:43:54 PM 869 Views
My apologies. I see Dutch and don't think of Belgium. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:56:26 AM 895 Views
That's alright. This is a confusing country in many ways. Legolas - 18/10/2017 08:58:15 PM 882 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 522 Views
Yes, in some ways it does. *NM* Legolas - 19/10/2017 05:38:41 PM 524 Views

Maybe, maybe not... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:18:16 PM 800 Views
