Why do you want to have statues commemorating traitors to the US who fought to keep slaves? Probably not, given that they aren't cherishing the things or espousing their virtue. Why do you want to have monuments commemorating traitors to the US? Probably not, but there aren't a whole lot of people calling for that. If you want that, make a case for it. For instance, you could explain why you want to commemorate and cherish traitors to the US. That isn't what bigotry is. I see that you are asking why I want..... You have chosen to ignore or not read the links I posted. Since you do not like the definition of bigotry I provided please give me yours. Thanks.

The guy from the Vale Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 1 hour ago, denstorebog said: Something that's endlessly fascinating to me is how every politician innately knows that a display of remorse, maybe even an apology and a symbolic act of penitence can go a long way to repair your fuckups in the eyes of the public. Like when Gianforte signed up for anger management (which he never participated in, AFAIK). It's ridiculously easy to go on camera, bow your head and admit you did something wrong in order to repair your image a bit. But not Trump. That tool is simply, literally unavailable to him. The second statement he screwed up on Monday was probably the closest his brain could ever allow him to get to admitting a mistake. I mean, imagine Trump standing in front of a press corps and saying the words "I did wrong" or "I'm sorry". It's like imagining your dog whistling Tubular Bells. It's interesting because his complete lack of that option kinda traps him in a downwards spiral where he can only alienate more people and never repair any damage with anyone. And we should probably be really thankful for that. Thank you. Now I'll have the image of my dog whistling Tubular Bells stuck in my head for the rest of the week. And I don't even have a dog!

Yes - why do you support commemorating and cherishing traitors of the US? It's a simple question. 2 minutes ago, Clegane'sPup said: You have chosen to ignore or not read the links I posted. I've read a couple and ignored others, largely because you didn't appear to want to engage with them in any way. Here's a hint - if you want people to talk about an article, provide one link and talk about it yourself first. Don't provide several and then say nothing. 2 minutes ago, Clegane'sPup said: Since you do not like the definition of bigotry I provided please give me yours. Intolerance towards all who hold different opinions than yourself. As it turns out there are a whole lot of people who aren't actually bigots.

I do not. The are overt and in your face symbols of white supremacy. Everyone one should be taken down. On principle, if for no other reason.

Remove all of the statues from Maryland via Missouri to Texas. The yahoo's who converged in Charlottesville had their own agenda's. They knew Virginia's gun laws. Come on they are going to wander around a University campus carrying tiki lights and then show up Saturday in the downtown shopping district with guns, shields and shite.

The solution to the problem has a lot of components to it. But, it's a start and a component of the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
