It really is getting to the stage where I'm starting to wonder if the worst thing we ever did with these idiots was to simply laugh at them. It's really getting very depressing.There's a woman somewhere in that thread who seems to be suggesting that everyone who expressed support for the memo should also be fired.
On the plus side, someone else has pointed out that this is how Trump wins another 4 years.
On a related note, did you listen to the fairly recent Sam podcast with Charles Murray, the author of The Bell Curve? if not, I'd strongly recommend that you seek it out.
I didn't. I'm a fairly recent convert. I shall look it up.
But it's becoming clear that that doesn't really help. The cycle of action and reaction is just ending up reinforcing everyone's positions. Thus, otherwise sane 'progressives' are now going along with the lunatic fringe for fear of being seen to be on the same side as Trump.
It's getting me down, m.
There is one very obvious reason for this. You are getting old.
This is how your parents felt about bum bandits. The world hasn't gone mad- you have just reached an age where the generation beneath you are starting to shape the cultural/political/moral debate and it seems like *******s to you.
THis is why people get more right wing (socially conservative) when they get older.
I blame my parents for inventing youth culture
The objection to bum-bandits was never about individuals. It was about the promotion of homosexuality and how this may erode values that are important to the preservation of our civilisation - specifically those relating to the family unit.
Ultimately, this sentiment proved incompatible with our over-arching commitment to personal freedom, but the comparison with the kind of shít going on in the modern world simply doesn't stack up.
That means then that the people responsible for upholding those "values" dropped the ball, so to speak. In fact, they are to blame, not us or our kids.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Well I think there is an argument that the promotion of homosexuality and similar causes has done precisely that. That isn't to say I wish we could go back to a less permissive time, but a number of babies have gone out with the bathwater - literally so in the case of the abortion debate. The fear is that, in moving away from a fairly restrictive and conservative society, we are simply moving to an equally restrictive 'progressive' model.
