wow. it’s hard to believe they published that, let alone that someone actually thinks that way. i can’t even imagine how horrible their marriage must be. i hope they get some help :confused: ( and that they stop pushing the worst kind of world view on the rest of us )

let’s… ummm… blame the heat. i think everyone who lives in the pacific northwest has had their brain melted. worker productivity down, a sudden uptick in misread bbs comments, and widespread general malaise. conditions expected to improve somewhat after the year 2125

I think they are confusing the right to call out people for stupid speech as shaming. If people want freedom to say stupid shit, other people have the same freedom to tell them that they’re a putz.

NY Times is a putz.

Ironically, their point is valid but in the opposite direction.

I self-censor all the time because the people who disagree with my political views have guns and poor impulse control.

In modern America, the 2nd Amendment has murdered the First.

Yep. We all censor.

One neighbor is a teacher and a union rep but thinks AP Black History shouldn’t be taught. She had no problem telling me this, so I had no problem with cutting her out of my neighborhood interactions. (She earlier said something mildly offensive about my husband, but covered it with a “just joking.” The AP Black History was the last straw.)

Consequently, I feel perfectly fine telling other neighbors why I won’t go to any gatherings when she’s included.

This despite repeated racism and, among other things, wishing for a terrorist to blow up the New York Times building (also heavily implying the actual violent act by the terrorist - McVeigh - was just fine as well).

Over twenty years of this shit and too many people keep being surprised by it.
