You don't get it. My viewpoint is not observed by thousands of people. Big frickin difference.

Why’s that a difference? Why should they not speak their viewpoint - you are currently voicing your view to the membership of this group which numbers over a hundred... why is that any different... at what arbitrary number of people should your opinion not be publicly stated?

I have over a thousand Facebook friends, a large number of acquaintances and some influence over the people around me through some of my media - should I stop stating my opinion?

What about media that is inherently political? What about journalists? Should people just not talk about politics at all in public? Is that what you are suggesting?

But my big question to you is why was it ok for Donald trump to voice his political opinion before he ran for president?
 
No its not an exception to the rule. Why do you think the Westboro Baptist was able to ignorantly assemble at dead veterans funerals and chant anti military slogans. That's hate isn't it?

Now I'm gonna tell you one time. Don't be calling me ignorant no more.

If you don’t want to be called ignorant then don’t be ignorant...
 
Indiana is trying to push a bill that would force the Colts to offer refunds to fans offended by the national anthem protests........


man what is happening with our society that it has gotten so soft?

I can't see this happening at all and I imagine this is garnering little to no support except by a nutty few.
 
The Westboro Baptist Church, for as disgusting as they are, to my knowledge are not campaigning to take the rights of citizens in the US away. So, yes, the Charlottesville protests, which rightfully got shutdown, are an exception.

You are ignorant as anything when you try to put words into my mouth and act like everyone is as closed minded as you. If you are going to make false claims about me, you better be damn ready to back it up.

Like a true liberal you gotta start demeaning people and the funny thing is you don't think you're close minded which you are son. You don't have the experiences I got since you grew up in " white privilege" .

Its funny also when I do provide links its from left side media 90% of the time while your links are always from your agenda.

And people call liberals snowflakes...

The hypocrisy is unreal...

See the thing is I believe the same of you guys also but I try to keep it light. Bird and Raven do not. See if somebody has an opposing view you guys like to call us ignorant.

" When you go low. We go high" lolol

Nobody mentioned race until you did to be fair

I agree with that coming from you, however it is not the case away from you. Conservatives are no different, did they not coin the term snowflake?

When you bring petting ponies and llamas to school and have to have "safe spaces" what are you supposed to think? But no no names should be called and that's a major part of the problem.

I’ve tried to be pretty tolerant and open-minded and listen to you but I find it frustrating that I’ll make an argument and you’ll shift the subject without responding to my or other people’s arguments - in the last 2 pages of this thread I’ve asked multiple questions that I think prudent to discussion and you’ve responded to virtually none of them - if you expect to be treated as unhypocritical you have to be open to discuss and answer some of my/our questions/viewpoints in the same way that we respond to yours

Sigh. Like I said, you are incredibly ignorant and trying to turn this into something it is not. I made a comment celebrities being able to use their platforms and you begin to attack me.

You are truly a pitiful person in this thread and I feel sorry for your painful ignorance and insecurities.

You attacked me 1st Bird by calling me ignorant. I was just expressing my view when replying to you.

Oh btw I'm not insecure. Not in the least.

I said that celebrities (notice I didn't name a specific) should be able to voice their views.

You then assumed things about my life (and eventually attacked my integrity) and tried to make this a divisive us and them issue instead of discussing exactly what was said. Yes, you are truly ignorant.

I'm sure if they celebrities were more republican you wouldn't be singing the same tune. Now if you say they affected by policies I have to laugh out loud. They're not on Obamacare, public ed, have the best attorneys and lawyers you know basically living the life. Thing is a lot of people idolize these people which could affect their vote. They don't idolize you and me lol.

Now of course celebrities should have a voice ( but its a million times more than what we got)and a lot of them mean well imo but they don't know about the farmer, the plumber, the taxi driver. Sure they've maybe talked to some and donated money to a lot of diffrent causes but even if they led the poor life growing up most have left that behind. Even a guy like LeBron James who came from a poor background was more than likely coddled all the way thru school becuz of his athleticism. Just saying.

Yeah, you're so right. I've displayed this ignorance and bias against everyone having a voice. You have figured me out.

The 2nd quote was my original answer. The 3rd quote was your answer. Then you proceeded to call me ignorant nonstop thru the next few posts without me once calling you a name and letting it slide. Now you tell me who attacked who.
