Yes, with many audiences one dare not say anything about the military, the flag, gun laws, climate change, abortions, euthanasia or capitalism.

The fact is that EVERYONE is quick to be offended and to play the outrage game, not just one side, a great example being the recent banning of words in the White House.

Acceptable positions on campus that don’t require a safe zone: (and, there's no outrage in the pointing to what everyone knows.)Greta wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 11:13 pm Yes, with many audiences one dare not say anything about the military, the flag, gun laws, climate change, abortions, euthanasia or capitalism.

The military: against it.
The flag: a rag.
Gun laws: not enough of them if they don’t result in confiscation.
Climate change: alarmist is good, all else is bad.
Abortions: Yes, on demand.
Euthanasia: Yes.
Capitalism: No.

It's not too difficult to predict what a liberal will say about any current event cycling in the news.

However, I would rather just say what an utter dickhead you have been for turning what could have been an interesting chat about real things into another of your beloved cookie-cutter political debates.
Straw man? Those are all issues you named, I wrote the liberal response to the issues you named, and I can assure you, I correctly stated the liberal position on each, thus injecting relevance and specificity into your generalization. You’ll find many real men who agree.
I don’t watch the Fox much, not for a good while, although I’ve seen it and suspect they may be watching me by some of the things I’ve heard.
Your disagreeable disagreement has caused you a loss of perspective. I wrote nothing untoward. Could be your irrational outrage is trying to break free and is affecting your perception, and voice by the way. Dickhead? Good grief. Not my fault Progs are the way they are, with cookie-cutter knee-jerking attempts to fit reality into their narrative.
I know your strategy now - you aim to kill all hated "progressives" through sheer boredom. Your beloved Nobel wannabe nominee Trump will be most impressed with you, I'm sure.
Hate the sin, not the Prog.
The regressive Progressives are likely to die off from insanity or HBP.
President Trump is not my beloved, but he is a good man, and a good president. History will verify.
That would be great if he was impressed because he’s generous, however, I’m not worthy of his time. I have nothing that he needs or wants.
In terms of geological periods ...Greta wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 3:44 am In terms of geological periods we are in the:
Phanerozoid Eon - from about the last 500m years, the age of plants and animals
Cenozoic Era - from about 70m years, the age of mammals
Quatenary Period - from about 2.5m years ago, something technical to do with ice sheets
Holocene Epoch - from about 12k years ago to today. It's also being referred to as the Holocene extinction event.
In terms of archaeological periods we are in the Information Age (from 1970 on) and the Big Data Age (2001 on).
However, if humans die out and rats evolve to replace us, when their naturalists observe major large sedimentary structures they will find a thin band infused with a strange substance. They might see our time as the Plastic Era
Volcanoes are real things, lives are at stake, and the opportunity for that interesting chat was passed over.Greta wrote: ... for turning what could have been an interesting chat about real things ...
Please stick to Twitter, Mr. POTUS
The age of wisdom, hopefully in early future.
That's just the usual pre-war state rather than an age. What is war but physically expressed intensely polarised tribalism? One clue is the sense that at least one side sees the other as not human; killing sub-humans is less tragic than killing humans, seemingly.
