Topic	How is Trump's Approval rating still at 45%?
Zeus 01/26/19 3:10:43 AM #91:	darkknight109 posted... I didn't say the answer had to be black and white - in fact, I figured you'd use this cop-out, which is why I specifically stated that "Yes, but..." and "No, but..." were completely acceptable answers. You can clarify your answer as much as you care to, and if you want to say "Yes, but it's not as racist as when a young person says it" that's your prerogative, but you still have to answer the question. All you've said is that you think Trump is a 70+ year old man - a nice factoid, but not an answer to the question. It's not really a "yes, but..." or a "no, but..." although it's probably closer to a "no, but..." because it's a contemporary connotation. darkknight109 posted... It's like if someone asked me if Mike Pence hates gay people and I answered, "I think Mike Pence is a man who is married to a woman and who holds the office of Vice President. I think he has white hair and that he was elected in 2016." All true, all facts, not in any way an answer to the question asked. Which is a ridiculous comparison, even by your usual standard. darkknight109 posted... Why do you say that? Do you think seniors are just too old and dumb to understand changing social mores? Too senile to comprehend offence and disrespect? There are far too many mores to reasonably expect anybody not born into them to keep track of them. Mores are a lot like memes, most times you're not even going to be aware they exist. IronicFool posted... Zeus posted...
