    Compassionate fundamentalism

    Yeah I really hate it when people try and argue that one, they believe Jesus is the messiah and follow the new testament, they are Christian sect.

    Compassionate fundamentalism

    I've met very nice/loving Jehovah Witnesses, and it didn't change my perspective on organised Christianity as a whole

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    First of all don't say LGBT types, they are people! See this is what I'm talking about, it's not ironic. The movement is not about you and you are privileged in that way, so what I said was very appropriate. You're the one giving lectures on how other people should handle their oppression that...

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    Heather already pointed out that all sorts of tactics are used within activism so you basically saying "we should all be doing this, the way I do it" isn't helping LGBT people with anything. I propose if you want to be an ally that you focus on using your privilege to aid the situation and not...

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    What you are saying is that LGBT activists should try and find common ground as much as possible with the people who are trying to oppress them and trying to maintain their power, in order to be "non threatening." Therefore pointlessly policing the approach of LGBT activists

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    So what you are saying is that you are pointlessly policing LGBT tactics when all kinds of tactics are implemented by activists?

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    What do you mean when you say you educate people in a non-threatening way? What is "threatening" to you?

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    Well then people can be threatened by language that is non threatening, whether or not you use the word "privilege" to describe it.

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    Can I ask what do you think would be the better language to use to describe it?

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    so the word "privilege" is threatening?

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    Now Heather you don't want to hurt straight people's fee fee's, that is just reverse homophobia and equally just as damaging. Always be considerate of the fact that you may personally offend me when talking about homophobia. After every post like this, you must sign it off with "I love straight...

    .....what??

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    Yeah so it's not just the usual suspects who are educated on privilege, you don't know what your talking about when you say that.

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    Wrong! I'm not a white Christian patriarch and I'm aware of the ways in which I have privilege. It's not beyond white Christian patriarchs to be aware of their privilege.

    Lefty loonies and liberals, what the hell happened to us?

    Why should we one side/half educate people, by telling them the plights of others without them knowing how they have benefited in ways that others haven't, or how they have benefited off the oppression of others?

    In Defense of Insulting People and Ideas...

    Also there is the power of naming. But you're right it can be a thread in itself. For me "insult" is irrelevant whether you think you should be allowed to insult or not. What's relevant for me is how "free speech" affects people lives when exercised.

    In Defense of Insulting People and Ideas...

    I wasn't suggesting to place limits on speech, although we do that anyway with some hate speech. I was just kind of challenging the whole concept of "FREE" speech which in my opinion the "free" isn't free for everybody or in the same way. What if the conditions of your oppression means you have...

    In Defense of Insulting People and Ideas...

    Well I certainly hope so, usually that's how it goes, steady progress and all. But that's not really relevant to want I was trying to say.
