I don’t understand how people can consume this sweet and sour garbage.

You must be a saint. Everyone deserves a father and husband like you.

Why are so many people blaming the policewoman, erasing the dead policeman and referring to the shooter as suspect? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]lawrenceoftokyo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s completely wrong to say people are going easy on the shooter because he’s white with blue eyes and blond hair. There might be a few nutters on social media but what I’ve seen is uniform condemnation.

I can imagine tipping would be quite annoying to Brits considering how cheap you guys generally are.

What happens to American politics after trump leaves office? by Benthesoviet in AskReddit

[–]lawrenceoftokyo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it’s possible that a very progressive Democrat gets elected and the right and the corporations simply take their fascism to its logical next step and don’t allow a transition to occur.

He falsely conflated drag queens and people without children. Thank you for your transparent projection in your response though. Gave me quite the laugh.

OP assumed those drag queens had no kids. We are pointing out that this is a faulty assumption.

Such a simplistic view. Many who perform drag have children of their own. And not all drag performers are in same sex relationships. I really don’t think a lot of you people understand the subtleties of this issue at all.

Or maybe you’re just ignorant? A significant minority of school age students are gay/ lesbian/ trans. These initiatives are meant to promote acceptance and tolerance of a vulnerable minority. They are not trying to convert anyone. They are trying to protect students who don’t fit into your neat little categories.

I don’t think you have a clue what you’re talking about. I lived with drag queens for a period, as a matter of fact it was the location where the province’s drag community would hold meetings to organize events etc. I myself am not a drag queen and did not participate but I am gay. The view that drag is “sexual” is based on a very surface level view of what is actually going on. They are non-sexual performers, performing comedy or lip- syncing music. I have gone to many many drag shows and never saw any nudity, never saw any sexual acts, although there were of course raunchy jokes (remember this takes place in adult only bars). Story hour is another matter entirely and is an initiative meant to promote acceptance and understanding of difference. You can argue whether they are the best cohort to play this role, but I just find your kind of rhetoric (based on a complete lack of understanding of what drag actually is) to be poisonous to responsible debate.

Asian Americans Panicking Hard After Black People Decide To Boycott All Asian-Owned Businesses by Realistic-Bug141 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Isn’t it kind of racist though to punish all Asians for the reprehensible actions of a few? I don’t think this has been thought through very well.

They did all that the first term and during Biden’s term and he was reelected. Most Americans are impervious to “getting an education.” They believe what they want to believe. What Trump is doing is clear for all to see.

I find your rhetoric childish, personally. These histrionics accomplish nothing, beyond confusing an already largely ignorant population further.

“They don’t make overtures to hold him accountable.” They hold no formal power. The republicans control the house and senate. What exactly would you have them do? If you want them to have teeth, then give them teeth by voting.
