A) I can agree with, b) misses the mark, I love pointed jabs at the lesbian communities when they are actually well written and funny. This wasn't funny at all, and not because it was aimed at me, but because it was again, shitty writing wrapped around well worn retreads of stale stereotypes lacking any real insight.
When you explain why you're not wrong for saying something stupid, you don't really regret it.
I don't really think you follow the point at hand. You look like an idiot because you make uninformed observations based on limited exposure with how much research on the issues being discussed? If you were say, a desk jockey for a radio station, I'd let it slide, but you are after all, a professor. But then again, that's my opinion
Incorrect on several fronts. 1) I never said I wasn't wrong. Again, see the previous post where I said you can explain something without condoning it. You're editing in the wasn't wrong part. 2) You can regret saying something without thinking what you said was wrong.
Well, I hope you took your time to click the "dislike" button then. Frankly, it didn't seem any more infantile than your average Beavis and Butthead. But there, different sacred cows are getting harpooned I guess.
Drafts are different from posts, yes?
I just admitted and apologized for that.
Odd it read more like a defense than apology, but I'm pretty drunk at the moment so we'll say its all me. Carry on, professor.
I know! I almost said something about it! But it's so enthralling to watch!
I would say so, in that posts are usually off the cuff and rarely revised, while drafts are kept private through their many revisions. I'm just sayin' there should be a little bit of slack for people here when folks put their foot in their mouth.
They run out of slack after they've eaten the third toe.
I'd like to request a little more slack than that. I'm certain I'll need it at some point...
Request denied. If we gave into that request all this sitting around waiting to judge you would be totally worthless now wouldn't it?
So, professor, enlighten us as to the specific connotation you were going for by characterizing people as thus. The popular perception would seem to be "poseurs who have no idea what they think they're representing", but you claim that's not what you're going for.Fade said:
I disagree. I think holding each other to higher standards than off the cuff gives the conversations more value, especially in topics like this.
I had 5 seconds in the pool for how long that would take. I guess I was off by about 20. If it makes you feel any better, then I was that person for a long time, then.
I actually just meant leftist people who support controversial things. But of course you won't believe that. I was kind of wondering why you quoted that earlier as offensive.
Thats sounds pretty controversial.
Not ironic?
And there is controversy. Seriously dude, I'm all for aggressive confrontation, but as far as this thread goes, you need to spend some time working that bedpost out of your ass already. And this is coming from me.
Mixed together or each as a separate entity?
Well we're all under the umbrella of it. So, separate. Allow me to present you with a visual aid:
