I honestly don't want to disappoint them

If having your own separate political beliefs is "disappointing" to your parents, then maybe consider looking up to other people. That's about as nicely I can put that.

Pay your parents back for the ticket. If they ask why you don't want to go, just tell them that you've given Bill a chance in the past but do not agree with his ideals, and in fact consider him to be a less than pleasant person to listen to.

Seriously, just say no if you don't want to go.

It's not rude or disrespectful to disagree with your parents. You're your own person, you're allowed to walk a different path then them. There is absolutely nothing they can do to make you go. This is all on you.

Because the loudest visitors decided that SALT and MEMES were more important than actually being part of a community. This place was an utter shitstorm during that contest, and it's more than understandable why most people(women or otherwise) wouldn't want to join the community after all of that.

I tried to veer the subject with Lauer, North Korea, Okay to be White speech, Cop arresting white person for "being white" video. No one was interested in those topics, DYL.

Let's see...

Matt Lauer was fired for sexual misconduct or something like that. Unless there's more to the story, that falls under "Fair, next".

NK waving their metaphorical dick around as always. How many times have they said "We could totally bomb you guys if we wanted to!"? Either start a war with someone or shut the fuck up North Korea.

Not that I want war because holy shit, I just don't want to my eyes to fall out from all the rolling it does at North Korea.

.
So that leaves the racial topics.

"It's okay to be white". I would say to that "No shit. Who said otherwise?" I admit I haven't boned up on that particular subject(Because even I value my time more than that), but why makes this any different from the shitposters going "But why isn't there a WHITE History Month?!" every February?

Though a more forgiving light could suggest that there are some white people who feel like they are being looked down upon because of their color. After all racism, sexism, etc are being called out more and more these days(The accuracy of such is another can of worms), and it just so happens that a lot of the people being called out are Caucasian. This says nothing about a race of people, but seeing people of your race being mocked and ridiculed all the time could make some people wonder if something isn't up.

Sounds familiar.

As for the "Arrested for being white" cop, I know nothing of this so *shrug*. Sounds dumb, maybe context will make it less dumb.

I do not agree with tearing down a Confederacy Statue that is reasonable.

Would I be against a statue of say a Slave Owner walking a Slave with a leash or some dumb shit? Uh, hell yeah. The statue does not depict reasonable history. It depicts a vile act.

This is also fair, even though I would view both statues as equally unneeded(Though the latter is obviously far worse).

Anyways. As far as the Confederacy goes. I understand why the states tried to secede. I recognize its immense importance in United States history. And, I realize some of the people on both sides of the conflict were both good people just divided by ideas.

However, the Confederates were traitors and Rebels and I have no real mercy for them. There is no such thing as real pro-confederacy any non-radical American. I do believe the Confederacy is a part of our history and should be respected and understood to learn from it. I also see no reason why states and families that the Confederacy was a part of their lives cannot pay respect to that part of their history if they so choose to. I do not support Confederate ideas, but I do support the ability to respect your ancestors and their history.

I do not feel tearing down statues and forbidding usage of the Confederate flag not in the place of the United States Flag should be done in an effort to wash away the Confederacy from our history.

I even stated how I feel no different about the Braddock memorial in Western PA or the Whiskey Rebellion monument in Monongahela PA. Are they traitors or enemies? Absolutely. Are they part of our history? Yes.

Fair enough, I suppose.

It is indeed a part of our history, and we should remember and learn from it. If Confederate families want to "honor their ancestors" then well that's fine I suppose. As for states doing so.... Well the issue with that is that you're more or less involving everyone in the state. To some people, it's a reminder of their heritage. To quite some people, it's a reminder that their ancestors were little more than human property. Perhaps you can see why a public reminder of that might not sit well with other people.

I personally don't see the point of the statues. They lost, losers shouldn't get statues.

I do agree that the Confederacy shouldn't be washed away from history. Confederate flags and statues should absolutely be placed in a museum. In history books. In documentaries. But outside of personal use, I don't see the point in having the Confederate flag around in 2017.

I am sad that you lament patriotism shown in our country. We are a country built by Patriots.

I don't lament patriotism.

I lament what patriotism has become. I lament the people who think it means WE'RE THE BEST THAT ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE! The people who refuse to look at the flaws our country has, and work to improving it. In the past a patriot wanted what was best for the country. Now? "patriots" want everyone to think their country is the best. These false patriots, I feel, will be the actual death of this country. Not ISIS, not China, not Russia. But our own ego.

But yes, our very country exists because of protest. Which is funny because now people are trying to say protesting is bad....

Hey Corrik. Just wanted to respond to something in your last topic right quick.

Disappointed in your view. The flag symbolizes America and the troops who served and died to protect said country. Blatantly going against how to respect something is disrespect. I am sorry you do not agree on this as it seems to be a very simple idea of respect to me.

A good portion of America views it that way. If ignorance is the excuse, there has been over a year now to acknowledge this and change the way.

If someone decided to peacefully protest during your loved one's funeral, maybe you would understand moreso the idea of time and place that does not create pain to others.

The entire point of doing that during the anthem was there from the start and was iterated by the person who started it. That they do not support our country due to whatever reason. However, the very beginning is the issue. By doing it, you are not supporting our country. Which signals that the whole point is to disrespect the country from the very onset. It is not an irrational view that it disrespects the country. It was stated from the onset, and the means was to create a shock value which was going to get publicity due to the disrespectful nature of it.

There are better settings for such protest. Just as there was a better setting for Trump's quip. It is sad people do not respect people more to take that into account before doing what they do, especially in prolonged and continuing acts.

Okay see now I agree with you that the people who served and died to protect this country should be respected. Absolutely no argument from me on that front. But the flag? To me the flag, and this may rub quite a few people the wrong way, the flag is just a flag. A piece of fabric. And people speak of "disrespect" for not standing for the anthem... but don't people "disrespect the flag" in other ways?

A lot of people have flag theme clothes.... which you aren't supposed to do. We have flag theme paper plates and napkins at memorial parties... which we aren't supposed to do. Use the flag for advertising, which we aren't supposed to do. Why are these forms of disrespect tolerated? Why is it okay for someone to disrespect the flag for profit, yet actual people expressing their grievances via protest get all the heat?

A "good portion" of America may view something one way, but that doesn't necessary make it true. After all, there were many things a "good portion" of people believe, that was wrong.

Now yes, protesting during funerals is generally considered a dick move. The difference is people who "protest" during those times tend to have rather negative motives behind them(Think Westboro Baptist Church) Additionally funerals are about actual people.

One could argue that people being more concerned about an animate object, rather than the actual people said object flies under, is part of the problem that's being protested in the first place. People want to be patriotic, but they don't actually care to do what's best for the country. They say "respect the troops" while many of the troops end up without a home, or without steady work.

There are better settings for protest? Nah. If the protest makes you uncomfortable, good. It's not supposed to be convenient. It's supposed to send a message. If you don't like it, well the protester doesn't like it either. That's why they're protesting.

Personally I've grown tired of all the "patriots" in our country that don't actually care about the country, or its people.

However, the left

Okay see it's this part of your argument that I'm getting bored of. Because yes there are dumbasses on that side of the political spectrum, just as there are dumbasses on every side of every political spectrum. There's an embarrassing amount of people on the left who blow everything out of proportion. There's an embarrassing amount of people on the right who literally sided with actual self admitted(Not someone who merely said something disagreeable) Nazis.

And let's not forget the dumbasses in the middle who said "Well golly, I won't vote because it doesn't matter!", and the ones who think "The middle ground is always right!" without the nuance to realize that yes, sometimes there is a "right" way and a "wrong" way.

Corrik posted...

People in this very topic has stated people are racist if they do not agree with kneeling during the anthem. The sentiment is crazy.

And that sentiment is crazy. But you want to know the really crazy part?

That's a reaction to the people who think kneeling is "Disrespecting America" or "The Flag" or "The Troops". When peaceful protest is made out to be an evil thing. And where did that craziness come from?

I would say you just need a little more education on what exactly constitutes racism. You sound like you are on your way because you did not jump to just a racist conclusion and actually took time to analyze it. It is factually not a racist slur.

If you make a bad joke and I say "okay Wayne Brady". Did I just say a racial slur to offend you?

You should be careful trying to align with people who live on calling people racists and think only white people can be racist. Their rhetoric is illogical and super dangerous.

Well context is very important, and unfortunately the past few years have caused me to assume the worse of people a bit more than I used to. It's the awkward position of wanting to have faith in people, but having a great deal of difficulty actually doing that.

If you called me Wayne Brady, I wouldn't immediately assume racism. I would, however, question why you called me that in the first place. I could probably think up several possibilities, but then that lack of faith rears its ugly head and.... I'd unfortunately be a bit suspicious if I didn't know you well enough.

I think the whole "Only white people can be racist" sentiment is borderline... err... "mentally deficient". Of course, I typically don't speak to people who actually believe that so no concerns with me siding with those types there. Of course there's also that fine line between people who call out racism, and people who think everything is racist. One is often mistaken for the other(Intentionally or otherwise). I have no issue with people... what's the phrase that gets thrown around a lot? Oh yes, "Call a spade a spade"(Heh)

But there's also a dangerous thought process that gets thrown around that amounts to "Nothing is racist! Only racists talk about racism! Stop discussing racism!" that serves no purpose other than to silence actual grievances. Those people would count me as their enemy.

I understand why the other political end of the spectrum would want to make it seem like something that clearly is not a racial slur is one. Yes.

Let me put it to you another way.

Why do you think I'd see things that way?

You may not see the statement as racist.

But do you not understand why people would assume it had a racist intent, considering the man who said it?

And no, the answer is not "Because liberals".

I can't help but wonder if Corrik is being intentionally obtuse, or if he's simply being contrarian.

(I'm one to talk....)

While calling someone Pocahontas may not strictly be counted as a slur... calling a Native American woman that is at best a very odd and careless thing to say. This is the benefit of a doubt you'd give a typical person, who has shown no prejudice behavior in the past.

Someone like Trump saying it? From his past behavior, it strains belief that he called someone that with absolutely no ill intent. Simply put, there was no reason to call her that. She has a name, and if he did not know her name, he could have simply asked.

This is ignoring the fact that a wikipedia list is hardly the be all end all list of racial slurs

150+ Orbs used, and I had quite the result.

Free summon was a 3* Fredrick(lol), but the red orb ended up being my first Celica! +Spd, - Def to boot.

Other units that finally arrived in my barracks were Marth, Fae, and Mae.

I also pulled Niles who is too late for me to care about at this point so he can just never show up again like he was before.

And finally, I pulled a second Hector.

So Lloyd is getting Distant Counter for sure. The question is... which Hector to sacrifice?

+Spd - Def or +Res - HP

Both seem kind of eh.

In sadder news I dropped down to tier 17 because Ursula is my only bonus unit and I kept losing a unit in the 6th/7th match. I got used to lazying around with arena and got burned for it. But hey, I have a bunch of new stuff to do in the meanwhile!
