Topic	How is Trump's Approval rating still at 45%?
Zeus 03/29/19 1:53:00 AM #175:	Oh no! I'm late returning! Streamy will have a field day! I had a nice vacation from responding to hardcore nonsense, though. I feel refreshed! Of course, given how much effort was likely put into bumping this topic, I have to respond, don't I? darkknight109 posted... But that's not what you said originally; you just said that calling people animals was racist, full stop. Not "it can be racist, depending on context." In fact, most of the people you were arguing with were trying to point out to you the exact same thing you're saying now, which you weren't having. No, it's completely compatible with my original statement considering that somebody who doesn't completely understand the implications associated with a word using it is completely different from somebody reasonably expected to know said meaning. Stop trying to pretend otherwise. darkknight109 posted... You are, once again, completely misconstruing the issue. Trump didn't accidentally call immigrants animals. He called them animals, several people pointed out that doing so was racist and explained the connotations of what he had said, and then - in direct response to those people - he called them animals again. You're trying to paint this like Trump was doing this by accident, which he absolutely was not. And you once again misconstrue the issues. When Trump sneezes, people call him racist. Therefore there's no reasonable expectation for him to take the "Cry Wolf" crowd seriously but, even taking that into account, you're talking post facto. Otherwise, it comes back to the fact that you can't reasonably expect the very old to be PC when the rules of PC have changed many times during their lifetime especially when you're young enough to be their grandkid. darkknight109 posted... This is hilarious given that I'm almost certainly older than you are, judging by some of the things you've posted in the past. Judging from the stuff you've posted over the years, I would have wondered if you were even 18 if not for your account age. darkknight109 posted... I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here, can you post it in English please? Can I send you a copy of Hooked-on-Phonics so you can understand it? And so far as I'm aware you don't have a non-native speaker excuse. darkknight109 posted... Again, you're painting this like Trump did this without realizing it. He lost that plausible deniability when someone pointed out what he was doing to him. Post facto and from an unreliable source that spins everything the president does as being racist, hence losing any credibility that might make for a plausibility argument. darkknight109 posted... I don't know, you seem awfully touchy about this subject. Are you angry you can't get away with using a racist slur of some kind that you used to use or something? You seem awfully troll-y about most things. darkknight109 posted... I mean, I've never been accused of racism or using a slur that I didn't realize was a slur, so I seem to have managed just fine. That you know of and, as a person of no particular importance, it's highly unlikely that your words or deeds would ever be truly scrutinized especially if you virtue-signaled properly. You almost certainly have said or done something that somebody would wring their hands over or clutch their scarf. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:919692098] in How is Tru...
