It's like this, I am allergic to shellfish, well more like shellfish people. Whenever I'm around them I get a headache and feel queasy.
Instead of the world coming closer together they are being driven farther apart. Some of this is being done intentionally by politicians and advertisers, other parts have more to do with pop culture. Society is becoming more bi-polar, or tri-polar, or even beyond. It's not just the liberals verses the conservative. Look at the stupid things they got going this month. Pride month? Like gay people need a special month? When gay people fly a rainbow flag outside what are they truly trying to accomplish? "Hey, look at me I'm gay"? Or "screw you, I'm here and I'm queer"? They are not trying to "fit in",and have "equal rights", they are saying they are going to rub their lifestyle in your face wether you like it or not.
Then we got the dumbest holiday ever invented aimed at people that don't work and want everything handed to them. Who ever came up with this "Juneteenth"?. That's not even a word and is even more make believe then Columbus day. Congress just wanted another paid day off. If it wasn't for slavery 90% of the black people wouldn't even exist in the United States. Why are they so fixed on the past? Why can't they assimilate? Why do 100 people get shot every year at "Juneteenth" celebrations. It's not bringing people closer together, it's making people say "hey look at me, I'm different from you"
I heard somewhere that after the so called "pandemic" people are associating less with classes other then their own. Maybe because people who work hard for their money don't appreciate freeloaders? Or is it more to do with driving people apart and pinning them against each other?
Someone mentioned all the people on Mingle, well I get plenty of hits everyday on my account, problem is they are all fakes, fake people don't post in the forums, well not often anyways. They still have profiles of people from 10 years ago, the number of people that are on this site long enough to realize there are forums is very limited. That along with the fact that every topic has already been covered a number of times makes it tough to come up with new content. I'm not big on social media but I've even noticed people don't comment on Fakebook like they used to either, and if people don't click on "like" for every post then people don't do it in return, or they drop the people. Maybe the forums should come up with a "like" button, and a "dislike" button also?
I bet you don't think you're a bigot do you? I bet you think you are the farthest thing from it.
Garbage human being...
Not that I condone his post.
I personally believe dust4fun is accurate on the sentiments he shared. Even tho he missed way more, at least he is seeing the actual environment our 'new world' 'politically correct' society is heading for.
I firmly believe he is entirely entitled to his opinion on the matter.
I also firmly believe Devo1974 is entirely entitled to his opinion on dust4fun's opinion.
However, the same biased bigotry can be found there as well.
Then, RedneckHippy responds with a socially correct statement of alignment with Devo1974's sentiments.
Personally, I believe all of them are oblivious to the actual issues which are only hinted at in dust4fun's post.
The issue isn't skin color or sexual preference, its not religious beliefs or political affiliations.
The issue, in my opinion, is the fact people will not allow other people to have their own opinion or belief unless it fits within their own opinion or belief system.
You see it demonstrated constantly in these forums.
People bash, ridicule and chase away anyone who doesn't fit within your idea of social agreement.
Married on a dating site....GET OUT
Unique religious beliefs....GET OUT
Different dating beliefs....GO AWAY
Looking for sex.............YOU PERV
...and it goes on and on and on.
A discussion where everyone agrees on everything is really boring and shallow.
You get the same ...'permitted'...topics over and over again with the same ...'socially approved'...participants.
I don't know what Juneteenth is? I don't really care either.
You're homosexual, okay...I'm heterosexual, so what?
Let me give you a contrast on slavery.
A few hundred years ago invaders came to the new world in search of new riches. They decided to stay and commenced to TAKE the native population's lands by force.
The natives fought a valiant and bloody war against those invaders and lost. They were rounded up and put on small partials of their own land but afforded none of the rights of the invaders.
AND it is still happening to this very moment.
This same scenario plays out all over the world even today.
Then there's this...
A few hundred years ago these invaders went to another country and stole their people. They shipped them back to their new world and put them to slavery. Those natives waged no war, didn't significantly fight back and were suppressed by their captives breaking their spirit.
Some of the invaders decided against this slavery of another human being and offered to free them. The invaders then fought a bloody battle amongst themselves and finally won those slaves their freedom.
Now, those same slaves continue to hate
all the invaders by skin color. They yell "unfair" "prejudice" and "equality" constantly.
Yet, who speaks for the natives who had their lands stolen, their people slaughtered and their cultures crushed?
Chances are good that right now you are on land which was taken from someone else.
The social correctness of the world is a farce. A delusion given to us by the offended so they don't have to deal with the actual issues at hand.
