June 10, 20205 yr 18 minutes ago, DrPhilly said: In football we have "running into the kicker" and "roughing the kicker". I think that works pretty well. Don't you? Is a white lady with corn rows racist? This is a total strawman argument man c'mon. You're better than that.

The other one is a passive aggressive attack not a strawman. Sorry for that one. I would be interested though in how you define the term "racist". This was a particularly interesting discussion topic that I used to have with Munson.

Oh you want to get deep into the definition of a strawman now? (kidding...please let's not) Eh it's an analogy that kind of mischaracterizes the whole point of the argument though. Public discourse isn't a football team and or a courthouse. Yes we should strive to be specific in our language but strict definitions aren't required or even reasonable at all times. I can reasonably call something as a dumb penalty without distinguishing if it was a false start or personal foul. I can reasonably call something a murder without distinguishing if it was first or second degree. I'm gonna pass on delving into a definition on racism right now. Talk to me again when I have a few drinks in me maybe but we're getting far from the original point right now and I can already feel the rest of the CVON's eye's rolling at our inane BS as is.

Yes you can start with that just like one might say "there is a penalty as the kicker has been knocked down" but then you may need to be more specific. I don't see why we can't delineate in our use of language between a person whose breast is fondled while he is sleeping and one who is beaten and then held down and viciously penetrated against their will while awake. I happen to think that clarity in communication is sometimes, even often, important.

I happen to think that clarity in communication is sometimes, even often, important. Again we're straying further and further from the original point and you're warping an analogy I made to the extreme. If you insist on we must be very specific with our definitions, when I said "fondle" that does not only apply to gently someone's breast. No I would not call copping a breast feel while someone is asleep rape (as Fed up as it is). You wait for me to pass out and jerk me under the covers and make me do the same then yeah I'm gonna call that rape even if no one slipped a finger in my bum to reach your strict definition of needing penetration. Again we can draw lines and sometimes things are subjective, yet still accept that specific terms have a range of severity associated with them.

Again, yes we can accept general terms as a starting point but then often clarity is needed. How do you expect people to communicate effectively when they don’t use the same basic definitions of a term? The devil is very often in the details. Miscommunication causes all sorts of strife. It literally is a killer.
June 10, 20205 yr Just another diversion tactic to throw another bone to the base. The media has to stop taking the bait.

I have yet to see any story, headline, cvon post etc that didn't describe the events or (more frequently) post a video of the event itself so what exactly is the issue? Here, I'll try: Martin Gugino, a 75 year old man, was assaulted by a police officer during the Buffalo protests when approached officers calmly and was shoved backwards, causing him to stumble and fall backwards, cracking open his skull and putting him in the local hospital where he remains in serious condition. Better?

It's weird. He lied about the "huge" crowd at his inauguration. The lies about the bunker. The "not wearing a mask movement." I just don't get it. Why lie? Is Trump that insecure that he has to lie, and blatantly, about everything? So he was told he and his family should go to the bunker. Whoopdeedoo. At the time protesters were close to storming the White House. I wouldn't have needed anyone to tell me. I would have gotten down there as fast as possible. Saying George (couldn't even say his last name) would be happy with the economy? What is that? I know politicians lie. Presidents have lied. But to lie about such small things. And now this with the CNN polling not being real (#fakenews). I'm not political, but I don't know why Trump thinks if he shows an ounce of empathy it's a sign of weakness. His paranoia is above politics. Honestly the guy who has said it best is Bernie Sanders. Trump is a pathological liar. Look, every body lies, where you land on the spectrum depends on your moral code. A very honest person will lie only lie when the benefit is too great for the majority of people involved. A normal person will tell the truth unless the advantage of lying is formidably better. A dishonest person will fib at every minor convenience. Then there are pathological liars. People so uncomfortbale with the truth and hardwired into believing the truth is inherently disadvantageous to them. These people will lie even when the truth serves them better. They feel the safest when everybody around them is so confused they don't know up from down. These are the gaslighters and they are simply sick and awful people to be around much less be under.
