I can't actually see this image at work, but according to the URL it's a pic of Emma Stone saying burn. Is that correct? If it is can someone tell me how someone doesn't know what burn means in that context? Also, I find Emma Stone to be extremely attractive.
I have no more or less "faith in America" than anywhere else in the world. I'm actually more optimistic now than at any point in my life. I simply see it through a totally different lens than you see it.
I think the Communist New Network, the Communist Broadcasting System, the Notional Broadcasting for Communists, the Atheist Broadcasting for Communists, the Proletariat Broadcasting System, MSDNC vastly outnumber one meager FOXNEWS network; yet, FOXNEWS has more viewers than all other Communist cable news networks combined. All this while all the other communist networks and the current administration of communists are doing their best to marginalize FOXNEWS... Hmmmmmm...
Exactly. Liberals have a hard time debating facts because most facts don't support their agenda. So they resort to name-calling. If you criticize Obama, you're a racist. If you criticize Hillary, you're a sexist. If you support secure borders, you're a xenophobe, etc... ad nauseum. It is another tactic used to divide people along ethnic, religious, sexual, and cultural lines.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Pride isn't something you "instill in yourself", it's something you feel. You can have pride in a person, an accomplishment, a country, any number of things. Just like you can be ashamed of a person, a deed, or a country.
Do you know anyone who actually trusts politicians, anywhere in the world? Because I certainly don't. On this we can agree, one of the few things we'll agree on I'm afraid. It's almost as if you and I live in different worlds.
Then I must have misunderstood your participation in the entire thread about who CAN be trusted and who is better-suited for these offices? If you don't trust any of them, then why would you ever call-out some as better than others? Why in the world would you vote for them??? You don't trust them, but you will let them hold the office? Conservatives are good, Liberals are bad- is the more simplistic idea that is being conveyed.
"Making sense" is relative.
Well, like I've said before (or tried to convey), I can't control what "We" do. I can only control, or directly affect, what I do. When you generalize, you're opening up yourself to mistakes... almost guaranteeing a mistake on some level. I'm just trying to point-out that adhering to that is causing problems. I'm beginning to wonder if too many are generalizing. When you call yourself a conservative, or liberal, I think you're generalizing. When you call other people "conservatives" or "liberals", you're generalizing. I realize it's a habit, and I realize it's the accepted way to do it. I just don't know if it's serving us in a positive way to keep doing that. But, I don't expect it to change.
fair enough. I just think it's a bad idea to call myself one or the other. I'll lose track of the one I stopped using.
You want specifics? Are you in-the-dark that making generalizations (in general) are problematic? Learning from mistakes is great! Making generalizations is hardly something I would encourage people to do on a regular basis. Do you ever find yourself saying "If only I made more generalizations, things would be better?"
Nowhere near as often as just liberal or conservative. And, it's even more harmful when you refer to OTHERS as Liberal or Conservative.
Please tell us more about the circumstances leading to your consumption of a DogShit Burger. Must've been a hulluva party.
You know, when you use food as an example... it just makes SENSE!
No, you're right. Make more generalizations. Make sweeping generalizations. That will help create new and improved stereotypes. Those are always beneficial.
