Neither is: racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobe, transphobe, Xenophobe, Islamophobe, cis-normative, hetero-normative, patriarchal, or red-neck. Unless you are actually rebutting tangible points, baselessly throwing out insults without expanding on the implications in a logically compelling way you aren't making an argument. But when "Straight white male" is now enough credential to throw out any argument one might have, I'm sure some folks hearing that shit are enjoying their opportunity to throw back some of the same ignorance.

  • I use only those terms when the person who Im talking too says either get a job (which I already have), mention the tears or says it the term "libtard". Other then that I try to have a decent conversation.

  • "Libtard" to me is a meme word at this point. It's like how the 4channers call everyone a (blank)f*g, it's got no punch. The "tears" and "triggered" shit is pretty stupid, though I will agree. And most of the time having a job is entirely a red herring.

  • Does the OP say things like that or is this just a "I feel the need to counter-PSA because I feel threatened" kind of thing?

  • Who said I feel threatened? I was expanding on his point. It's a part of dialogue. If you aren't here with a rebuttal, you might fall into one of the categories (Something akin to "triggered" and along the lines of tears). The picture was because I just think that picture is funny. It's not there as an insult, It just comes to mind when people use the, "drinking tears" meme.

  • You aren't doing a great job of not appearing to feel threatened, considering how you answered my [b]question[/b].

  • Dialogue involves engaging in conversations and in the process and answering questions.

  • Work on your conversational skills, then. Try explaining your points in a more understandable way. And when you're intentionally being a douche, maybe turn it down 10 or 20 percent, bud.

    [quote]Work on your conversational skills, then. Try explaining your points in a more understandable way.[/quote] Or you should work on your comprehension of context. Clearly me saying "how you answered my question" is not referring to the fact that you answered my question. I even emphasized "question" to indicate the importance of that term over the rest. Not my fault you suck at conversing like a normal human being. [quote]And when you're intentionally being a douche, maybe turn it down 10 or 20 percent, bud.[/quote] 1. Even if I was intentionally being a douche, why would I turn it down? Do you not understand the point of [i]intentionally[/i] doing something? 2. I'm sorry if you feel triggered, but I ridicule those who deserve to be ridiculed. Unashamed ignorance of the sort required to misinterpret what I said deserves it. Especially with your whole "learn how to converse" thing.

  • I was going to inb4 #Triggered, my god why didn't I? I had the Thomas the Tank engine on deck, but I didn't want to scramble your brain with the complexity of it all. I'm not sure if you're one of those folks that sees the world in a Boolean manner, you might be one of the many. [quote]"how you answered my question"[/quote] [quote][quote]counter-PSA[/quote] [quote]I was expanding on his point. It's a part of dialogue.[/quote][/quote] That question was more loaded than this baked potato. Leave some -blam!-ing food for the rest of the buffet. Short answer to the first half, yes, I was adding onto what he was saying. [quote]I feel the need because I feel threatened[/quote] Not threatened. Annoyed, perhaps. Triggered? Not really. Threatened, rather the counter. I'm not the one getting shut down by bullshit arguments like being called racist. Rather I'd like to hear these people out, or at the very least give them enough rope to hang themselves. TL:DR Sometimes bad questions don't have 'Yes' or 'No' as an answer. But thanks for [b]bolding [/b]shit for me. That's really fun and cute.

  • [quote]I was going to inb4 #Triggered, my god why didn't I?[/quote] Maybe because you're not the sharpest tool in the shed? [quote]I had the Thomas the Tank engine on deck, but I didn't want to scramble your brain with the complexity of it all.[/quote] Lol. [quote]I'm not sure if you're one of those folks that sees the world in a Boolean manner, you might be one of the many. [/quote] I'm getting the feeling you are using a number of words that you don't entirely understand enough to use in a valid way. [quote]That question was more loaded than this baked potato. Leave some -blam!-ing food for the rest of the buffet.[/quote] Where's "this" baked potato? [quote]Short answer to the first half, yes, I was adding onto what he was saying.[/quote] I don't think answering my question again has anything to do with the post you are responding to.

[quote] TL:DR Sometimes bad questions don't have 'Yes' or 'No' as an answer. But thanks for bolding shit for me. That's really fun and cute. [/quote] Thanks for replying to my post by literally not responding to a single thing I said.
