SNOWFLAKE

I have had female friends all my life, some very attractive ones. They make better friends than other guys. Easy to talk to, better listeners. Can't do the roughhousing you can do with guys though, I admit that. At the same time I had love interests and they encouraged me. I still have female friends even though now married. I keep reading about guys secretly want to sleep with their female friends. Odd, I never wanted to. I must be wired differently.

But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing (Doobie Brothers)

I do believe you believe that. Damn, that is sad.

Damn, two original thoughts I never heard before. /s

OH geeze, here we go folks! https://www.timesrepublican.com/opinion/columnists/2022/12/if-youre-not-woke-doesnt-that-mean-youre-asleep/ Once upon a time, everyone on the Left was a Snowflake. Till people like myself said, thank you for the compliment. Suddenly the Right lost the idea of calling everyone on the Left Snowflakes. SO they had to come up with a new slag. Except it wasn't theirs to come up with. Most Righties are too dense to even know where the term came from. So to enlighten you: https://www.vox.com/culture/21437879/stay-woke-wokeness-history-origin-evolution-controversy Don't ask to discuss wokeness if you don't know where it came from, what it means, and how Righties have bastardized the meaning of the word for their own political purposes. Education is your friend. So is NOT being a victim or Rightwing media indoctrination. Get it?

OR show some maturity and don't go tit for tat. Just a suggestion.

I am sure throwing THAT dig into the equation somehow makes this a thread and topic worthy of discussion, amirite? The way I remember debates, you agree with a ruling and state why and debate with people who may not agree with your views. But throwing strawman arguments out there, laced with racist rhetoric, definitely won't result in a debate or discussion. The only cure for this is have threads like this one ignored, as they offer nothing but hyperbole.

DANG! It's not his fault either that Righties can't think of better insults to hurl than the example you just gave. Intellectual maturity is missing is my guess.

I wonder how full a head has to be to come up with a response like THAT??

I have come to realize this from traveling through other debate forums, the things they don't "get" is amazing!!

Can Men and Women Genuinely Just be Friends? Is THIS a serious question??

You can always tell how bright one side is by the terms they use in a debate. Now, for a REAL answer to the question posed in this thread, here is a real answer: https://medium.com/transgender-soapbox/science-proves-again-that-watching-fox-news-makes-you-dumber-than-not-watching-any-news-at-all-6783ac48a348

ACTUALLY, all that smoke is the legal weed we are smoking up here making it's way south.

Dang! You caught me. /s

I guess I need to add /s to the end of some of my comments since clearly there are a few folks on here who don't recognize my sarcasm. Sighs.

Oh, I agree TDS is a real thing:

WOW, this has got to be the wisest, most sagacious, thoughtful, even-handed and intelligent question I have EVER read? (nah, just kidding)

DAMN! Either you are a genius when it comes to sarcasm or you took your talking points straight from the Conservative hand book:

Improvements?? More SNOWFLAKES, less rightwing agitators. More advertising and promoting this forum and more female members. Make it a rule you can't participate here unless you have a sense of humour (correct spelling). EGADS, NO! There has to be SOME civility. You want this forum to be another American Congress??

Oh, this is not my first rodeo on discussion boards. I recognize the angles taken by the Right and have a good laugh. Never take them seriously. It's not worth it.

Let's see now: Elections are rigged Drag Queens are groomers Liberals are Snowflakes (well, at least Righties got that one right) Teachers are teaching CRT Scientists are promoting unhealthy vaccines Big black men scare the be bejesus out of Righties ANY, and I do mean ANY, disrespectful comment made about Trump sets off a firestorm of insults and accusations of TDS. Which group exactly needs to take a chill pill?? (anticipating some reactions to my comment that will perfectly illustrate who has not taken their chill pill today).

Arguments should be based on fake news and alternative facts, and that is just my feelings about it.

He also won a rigged election in 2020. Ask a Trumper.

Joe Biden is to fault for high inflation but not to fault for low unemployment. In fact, I bet Biden is responsible for the inflation in Canada too but has nothing to do with how low our unemployment is. Conservative logic 101.
