Maybe if people cared more about the words coming out of their mouth and what they imply, then somebody like Trump would have been less acceptable as a president. Call it a ridiculous comparison, but I would wager that 50 years ago many balked at the idea of being told that "darkie" shouldn't be used when referring to "those" people.
Very true but peoples panties get all up in bunches and harp on a word rather than answer the question asked. That is how stories/news gets a spin. Take something out of context and it becomes another story all in itself.
Well I did answer the question too, lol. I think you're the one who made a big deal about me suggesting it's walking and not marching...
It's not all about you, lol. I also mention "stories and news gets a spin".
The news these days reports on other people reporting and it becomes it's own story all from focusing on a word.
Happens in sports, happens in politics, happens here.

Like "invasion"?
That is definitely a "spin" on what is going on.
I'll say... but it's also helped to create what's going on. Words have a lot of power sometimes.

Certainly. But moreso from the President of the USA than a PJ messageboard poster without any history of trying to manipulate through word choice. Context.

Indeed, but sometimes the words used on the PJ message board (and whoever else) are consciously or unconsciously influenced by the words of that President. That's what makes him so dangerous. He doesn't live in a bubble. He has an effect on the public. Plus, since we are here speaking with each other on a message board, words matter here too... more than anything else, actually.

Everyone here is ok with thousands of people marching up to the US border and demanding entry?
There's something in between no borders and stationing military there to open fire (which we all know is just Trump being an asshole). I'm not sure how they are "demanding" entry. Is it through a series of menacing notes, smoke signals, what? What is this entry demand you claim is happening? Or are you just using overstated verbs to make is sound scary? I know after Trump's presser yesterday, I'm definitely afraid for my white womenfolk.
I'll ask in a different tone since you focused on a word rather than the question.
Is everyone ok with thousands of people marching up to the us border asking for entry?
Yes, why would anyone not be okay with people walking (not marching) up to the border with their little kids and asking for entry? That is when the US could document them all and start working to process them through the immigration/refugee system. But instead Trump wants to confront them with armed soldiers.
Yes they are marching...
Million man march... Woman's march etc etc... It's a march. A march isn't a bad thing...
Your solution is exactly what I had proposed earlier. I would like to document and accept them in. Vetting them might make it next to impossible but at least we could have something started.
The term march is a bad thing when the entire caravan is being spoken of in militaristic terms in general, by design. It's all about the larger context. "Marching" in the context of "invasion" is most definitely negative, so we should all try to avoid such language to counteract what Trump's trying to do with his propaganda, IMO.
That is silly... My two examples hold no weight then?
Walk it is.
So far on AMT I learned I am not permitted to use the words March or Psycho.
My next thread is going to be about PC words that you can not say. That should get some blood boiling.
WTF? No one said you couldn't use the word "psycho". You asked questions (or at least you appeared to) and people answered them. You seemed to be asking about actual diagnostic terms and how they fit. If that's not what you were doing, then fine, but don't go complaining that people answered what you asked.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Because 15,000 US troops can't stop a few thousand, mostly women and children that might throw rocks? Or the Bundy Bunch needed somehting else to do and just can't wait to shoot their boom sticks?

Gee. Not a lot of news about this invasion coming our way today.
Wonder why?
I am guessing because the midterm election results dominated the news.
Hahaha Did the midterm elections prevent the president from using his twitter app regarding this “issue?” Stop lapping up all this bullshit, man. You should know better.

He doesn't want to ban ALL immigrants, he just wants common sense citizen control.
I really think you should clarify what you mean here.
It reads very poorly.
For better or worse, you've been getting kicked around a bit lately (and I know you enjoy that), but this comment is different in my opinion.
I think it has something to do with the “common sense gun control” buzz that people are always throwing around
Just getting caught up with this thread.
If that's the case (and I think it is)... then it was poorly delivered. And not only that... the sender has said enough that would make one wonder exactly what he meant by stating it.

Anyone hear how the Democrats are still working for the Kananaugh or Roy Moore accusers lately?

U.S. militia groups head to border, stirred by Trump’s call to arms
Local landowners are worried, and U.S. military planners see potential dangers in the armed groups.

People have been arming themselves and "protecting" the border for years. I believe an off shoot was the Tea Party?
