Yup, that will now be me as I have dared to embrace an article that has the temerity to criticise the Woke Cancel culture that is threatening many of our fundamental liberties.
:rolleyes:
that, or people will still engage with you for writing out a thoughtful post

but it's cute to think the 'other' side isnt as guilty of doing the same

whups, a whataboutism, my bad :D

I guess I will be joining Mack and Geordie Colin and many others on the Ship of Shame.

Although I still hate Trump and his bigoted, racist, misogynistic views with a passion.


I loathe injustice in any way, shape or form, no matter what side it comes from, and yes, I am more Left than Right.
Thing is, it's been like this for a good number of years, mainly to coincide with Social Media's popularity and the likes. So I'm surprised you've taken to it so personally

I mean this thread's a complete train-wreck, and where were you when Mack was being eye-rolled into oblivion, for many a moon now :eek::D

Reported!!

(but not really because I'm scared of Ladyhawke :oops: )

it was a few years back, quite heated
was just an example that cancel culture and member-berating comes from both sides is all


it thankfully died a grand death


Frankly, the NK thread is good; this gumbo pot kinda keeps keeps these discussions and debates contained, people banter, express, move along, become friendly again


I know people seem to think noone gets to express their views but I dont really feel thtats the case; again, I'll use mack as an example - I very rarely agree with his posts
doesnt mean i dont enjoy engaging with him and reading them, same as ladykawkes, theyre aways well thought out and written

it's good to see other sides whether i agree with them or not :)

A fair enough point. Problem is, I detest Trump and his values so much, I don't understand why people support him. So even though I have always tried not to revert to ad-hominem attacks - not sure I have always succeeded - I tend to skip past most of those posts in case my inner Evil Ladyhawke manages to find a way past my defences.

But...but...but...but...what about the far right...

Whaboutism at its finest there, Dion.

The article is question was addressing a specific phenomenon engineered by the Left, whereby no criticism of 'allowed views and values', however respectful or intelligent, should be permitted.


I agree wholeheartedly with the above, but again, that is not what this particular article is about.

"There's a cruel streak in activism that says, 'If you disagree with me…you have no right to speak.'" (Robby Soave - Reasondotcom). And this, I believe, was the point of the article.

It was not defending racist behaviour, or hate speech, or all the Karens' despicable behaviour.


I repeat, it is an article addressing a specific phenomenon engineered by the Left, not a potential Pulitizer prize winning article that's purpose is to address extremist issues on both sides of the coin.

There were examples given - Jodie Cromer, Conor Daly, and the Harpers Magazine article signed by JKR and others. But how many was the author meant to give without turning the article into an unreadable laundry list? Alastair Stewart? Or Rick Friday? Or even Ghandi?

I'm beginning to think that many of you are projecting your own thoughts and feelings onto the article, and drawing conclusions that were neither stated or implied.

I do agree with you that the "Cancel" culture, or whatever people call it, has gone completely overboard instead of sticking to a reasoned approach and debate.

I do not agree to assign the blame entirely to one side. For one, looking at history, did the "other side" not go overboard for centuries, maybe even millennia?

I am not part of any of the sides, neither liberal nor conservative. My life got me through communist, democratic, socialist and monarchist countries, hence, I think I've seen and lived through all forms and came out just fine. :)
 
@Harry_BKK Do you know if Buffalo Blitz II is having its wide release tomorrow? According to a review I read from some guy called Harry it should've been over a week ago but another site is saying the 13th.

Been playing it the odd time at a UK site - it's brutal, moreso than than the first one IMO. Think i'd about 50 spins with constant re-triggers and it paid something like 10x

Looking forward to that. TBH not very different from the original which can easily eat through a 100 spin bankroll in 120 spins :eek2:

Finally looking good. Just getting those states that lean democrat is enough. Even Texas might go to democrats. Hard to see things changing much in these 3,5 months...fingers crossed etc!

I can't even make fun of Trump anymore. It's just too pathetic situation in every way. Next president please!

The polls in 2016 were looking in favor of Clinton too... There's only 1 real poll and it's in November.

Oh dear...I appear to have lowered this thread to the lowest common denominator possible with my latest ad eminem.

So time to take a break for a while.

TBH, I am worn out with Trump and his shenanigans, which in turn have generated the BLM movement, the Cancel Culture movement, etc. Well-intentioned movements perhaps, but the repercussions - both positive and adverse - are going to be felt for decades.

Instead, I am going to focus on watching paint dry for the foreseeable future. Much, much more fulfilling.

Although perhaps not for the neighbours.

Ah don't worry about it. I fully understand what you were saying and have the same feeling sometimes. That's why I usually just make fun of Trump or post other stupid videos.
 
the world's a bit of a shit-show and this is pretty much a shit-post thread.
sure there's time(s) to be serious and there's very real, serious concerns - but blowing off steam and levity is needed too :)

Don't worry about it LH. It's impossible to lower this thread from it current standards. :)

I rarely do. Understand (pretty much anything).

Maybe a little read of the activities of the "other side" might help, e.g. death threats against anyone opposing the project, even an old priest.

Uh-oh, Harry senses weakness and is going for the kill! his record's 32-0 in this thread, won't someone stop this man from annihilating other posters!

I just think he likes a good ruckus. Nothing wrong with that. To be this good takes practice

Not sure whether to see your post as an attempt at being the best forum clown or that you have no interest in a debate.

E.g. a debate is to look at both sides of a story and exchange point of views. I made the effort to read and answer to @ladyhawke 's posts and gave her a story that shows the "other side" to balance it. She can choose to answer or not, that is her prerogative.

The point is that every medal has two sites whether it is a golden or a copper one.

The only clown here is you and your Trump histrionics and inability to engage with people whose viewpoints don't align your own! So spare me the sanctimonious & self-righteous "I'm all about seeing both sides and like to debate civilly" rhetoric

I'm surprised your soapbox hasn't cracked under the weight of your arrogance

Christmas is coming!

Looked at the boat and many things sprung to mind.

First was Mouche is too small to see out so must be knackered jumping all day.

Second i thought Mack needs to eat more.

Then i wondered why you are clapping away like that but figured you must just be so pleased with yourself for the boat.

Then i wondered how the flags could possibly be blowing the opposite way from the sails.

Then i just went it's only a stupid boat why does it matter.

Clapping away?

Im the ships ballfondler.
Also captain.
 
My apologies.

Was not clear from the picture that you were standing rubbing your balls.
And another thing..

Perfectly explains why the wind changes direction.
And while its not a perfect solution, Mouche has one of these up there to reduce the strain on her legs.
