"The Good Ole Days"

I never really understood this statement. As bad as it can possibly seem right now, it's the best it has ever been concerning how people treat, employ, tolerate, each other. At least in America as far as I know and other developed nations,

Sure it could be better. There is still a long way to go, and sure we have taken things too far. But in the grand scheme of things now will always be better than before. Especially concerning the racial climate in the US. Or the Equal rights climate for sexuality.

I mean I do support LGBT-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY. But they are going too far. Same with the "offended people"

Anyone that says otherwise, You should rethink your position is all's I'm sayin'. Lest you be thought of in an untoward manner.

It seems they add a few letters every few weeks, I can't keep up with those guys anymore. And the pronouns and the gender fluid.people. Cool whatever floats their boat. At the same time I am glad I don't live in America, it seems like it would be hellishly confusing having to remember 40+ pronouns to call people by all the time.

But things are worse than ever in more important (IMHO) ways:

Specie extinction is at an all time high and time is running out.
CO_2 concentration in the atmosphere is higher than ever and no meaningful fix on the horizon.
Income inequality at record levels (at least since the 19th century).

Those were ones I could list without even having to think about it.


Peace

That's not how it really works in practice. The majority of them (judging from the one's I've met, that is) are just fine with he/she. And at the same time, it's not that hard. Just attach whatever pronoun they want to be called to their face. :shrug:

I never talked about the environment here. I still think we need to exterminate 80% of the human population to fix the CO_2 problem though. 100% would definitely fix that problem.

It's not so difficult.
Just say "LGBT", & the vast majority will be pleased.
And the vew who aren't...well, we can't allow their
displeasure to make our language unwieldy.

But we could retaliate. Those of us who are straight
cisgendered male & female, could loudly demand
that we be called "SCGMAF".

No such thing as the "good Ol' days", like you said. My parents grew up during the Depression and I would just have to smirk when they even thought of saying something so ridiculous.

Hello.

I would propose getting rid of capitalism (the cause of most of the most serious problems in the world) instead of mass murder. But to each his own LOL.

Hello.

Your evidence convinced me that the scientific consensus is wrong. Not.

Hello.

That is the kind of statement I would expect from a 'libertarian capitalist'. Revolting indeed ;-)

I have examples.....
USSR, PRC, N Korea, Khmer Rouge

Btw, I don't oppose socialism because I'm a capitalist.
I'm a capitalist because I oppose socialism (which is a worse system).

Hello.

Yawn. Yes, getting rid of capitalism means that such nightmares are our only option. I am betting that you are smart enough to not really believe that.

Peace.

I have an IQ of almost 70, bub.
Ditching capitalism for socialism has an extremely high failure rate.
(100% of them endure either or both heavy oppression & mass starvation.)
Capitalism fares so much better. In fact self-proclaimed socialists love it
so much, that they grudgingly admit liking the Scandinavian system of
capitalism. Embarrassed by this, they re-label those countries, "socialist".
