You know what I hate? How the word empowerment lost its original use and context

Well, better he find out early, so he knows enough to avoid him.

I forgot…which liberal meeting was it where we all decided that Whoopi Goldberg was the person who defined all words and phrases for us?

So a few idiots say idiotic things and that somehow reflects badly on liberals in general?

What the hell are you talking about?

And yes, of course some liberals, on this board and elsewhere, mischaracterized the beliefs of conservatives. That’s part of the trend I’m getting at - liberals understand liberalism better than conservatives, and conservatives understand conservatism better that liberals.

What you’re describing is, at worst, silliness from a few idiots. It has nothing to do with my beliefs or the beliefs of most liberals.

I’ll just add that the idea that liberals believe that harassment, assault, groping, and rape are the same is bullshit. We’re entirely capable of criticizing Al Franken and Harvey Weinstein at the same time while recognizing that their misdeeds are very, very different.

's OK, he’s already too old for Starving.

I know, right? The Spokesperson For All Liberal Maxims keeps changing without notice. Now it’s James Corden for airing that cameo of Hillary reading from Fire and Fury. Oh wait, there’s a video of a fat girl in a classroom yelling something about victims. Everybody hit the YouTube now!

I really need a scorecard of some sort to tell which entertainer is speaking for me today.

I feel ya.

Sadly, I’ve been without a celebrity spokesman since we lost Jim Varney.

You LOST Jim Varney? Geez, we sent you to the hardware store with one job… well, two jobs, since you had to buy a 3/4 to 1/2 inch adapter… and not lose Jim Varney.

Oh. I just checked, and he’s dead… well, that makes your job even easier! You park, you go in (they even have automatic doors), you prop Jim next to the Novelty Garden Stakes display, and you find someone in a red apron (with the Ace logo on it, don’t just start talking plumbing supplies with that confused homeless lady like last time… Darren), and you keep an eye on Jim and why am I even bothering you’re going to keep screwing this up and I’m just saying if you keep losing people you are not taking James Corden anywhere he’s got a show to do.

That’s one of the few reasons i brought rape up. False rape accusations also increased, I found a chart on it. Will see if I can find it again.

What is the “that” referring to? Usually, I can check back a post or two to figure it out. But no one’s been talking about rape today. In fact, you’re the only one – do you need to keep bringing it up? In multiple threads, on multiple boards? Why don’t you go back to the original subject and talk about “empowerment”, and get off this rape fixation.

I was recently speaking with Frankenstein’s Monster and he imparted these thought provoking words: Charts good.

Kid, you are in deep end of the pool. It’s over your head.
(Shouldn’t you be at school?)

I think he said “Sharts feels gud.”

Have they? Or are we as a society (and social scientists along with reputable reporters) simply getting better at identifying and reporting various crimes and misdemeanors?

What you appear to SUCK at, and why I said you’re impressionable (and easily lead, as a result), Is that you think you hear hoof beats and assume it’s zebras. A large part of being a rational thinking adult is developing critical thinking skills and ability to resist jumping to conclusions you want because of a strong confirmation bias. Just because some charismatic nut-job you YouTube tells you want you want to hear and urges you to believe every word, doesn’t mean you should. In fact, you really shouldn’t.

Research claims that you disagree with.
Doubly research claims you automatically agree with.

I am.

Does the school offer a class in Critical Thinking and Analysis?
