Stand with Hillary

[spurraider21]

No, but calling Obama the n-word is racist. That's the more appropriate equivalent in Hilary's situation. Asshole is an all-ecompassing term that can be levied at anybody. What baseline_bum said on the other hand, is gender-specific. Case in point: when I tried to type it up, SpursTalk immediately censored the word, the way it does with the n-word.

you've never heard somebody call a man a cunt? regardless, tattling is childish, especially on an internet forum where somebody's comments have no bearing on your life or your ability to post

Tolerating sexist language is tantamount to giving legitimacy to it. It's the same way factions like ISIS or Al Qaeda can exist within Islam--because moderate Muslims choose not to condemn it unequivocally. I'm merely choosing to condemn it. Why are you giving me flak for speaking out against bigotry and gender-based discrimination?

[spurraider21]

you're coming off as the kinda guy that will try to negotiate to reach an amicable solution with a mugger as he's beating the out of you because fighting back is beneath you

off, you can "condemn" all you want without calling the authorities... that's pussy-ass snitching and says a lot more of what you think about freedom of speech than anything else.

I was raised in a household that valued nonviolent resistance.

So you think it's okay to tolerate sexism?

You don't have to tolerate anything. You have plenty of options: poster on the ignore list, post your condemnation or log off and don't come back.

The KKK or any other hate group are free to say whatever they want too, why do you tolerate them? Because they have exactly the same right to say what they think as you do, even if you completely disagree with it. That's a pillar of what makes this a great nation.

Then why does SpursTalk's servers censor the use of the word? I'm not the one making up the rules, the moderators are. I'm merely helping them enforce it. Is that so wrong?

Both parties are filled with ses.

Because this place isn't a democracy, and because due to the software used, you can't censor words on a per-forum basis. That's why misspelling Elliott is also censored site-wide.

I'm also not sure where did you get there are strict rules in this place?. Kori post general guidelines and the mods normally apply them on a case by case basis, based on the context, etc.

I'm not a mod or an owner, but I've been here long enough to know this specific forum (Political) allows the free exchange of opinions, as reprehensible as some of they might be. This area is exactly the place to have these political conversations.

yeah, but that was borderline even for upstairs tbh... i got banned because i put head in italics in the phrase head coach. thats a pretty fine line imo

The Spurs forum used to be much more strict than that, tbh... it's actually been fairly unchained lately...

[baseline bum]

Indeed, that is disappointing. But to be fair, no Democratic candidate prior to Clinton had much appeal to the broader masses because they were too far to the left. It was only by shifting slightly to the right and becoming more moderate that they could hope to win an election, and deregulating the financial industry cons uted a step in that direction.

Besides, they were swept up in the economic orthodoxy that pervaded the time. Friedrich Hayek's philosophy of freeing the market was on the ascendancy, in large part due to the work of Milton Friedman (and the politicians who followed him like Raegan and Thatcher). So at the time, what they were doing seemed like a good idea. It's only hindsight with the GFC that economists can claim that the financial industry boom in the immediate aftermath of the deregulation was unsustainable, and that the bubble would eventually burst.

It's only with hindsight that people can say inflating bubbles was bad? The kind of re are you son?

that monkey ass nigger too tbh

[baseline bum]

Nope. Bad time to be in the center, tbh... GOP keeps tilting further to the right, the consensus "left" candidate is a well known neocon... I don't even think of any other Democrat matters, they don't have a shot against Hillary, IMO.

It's pretty ing sad when Biden is the best case scenario.
