I don't think supporting rights for LBGT people is extreme. That's pretty mainstream and human. There are "far left" people certainly, but this was not a good example.tempo_n_groove said:

If both sides were the same, Al Franken would still be in the senate and even if he were, it’d be a huge stretch to compare the two parties’ extremes as being the “same.”
You have far left and far right, yes? So you can compare them on a scale. One is far left and one is far right. On different points of a political scale which I tried to convey in that one is for LBGT rights and the other enjoys Gazpacho police. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.
It's called a political spectrum.0 -
But it is not a normal political spectrum though. It's not like it used to be and we should not pretend it is.tempo_n_groove said:

Being for someone's right's is one thing, and shouldn't be labeled extreme, by the way.
Being against those same people's rights is simply unamerican and not, in any way, equivalent to the other side of the spectrum.www.myspace.com0 -

My latest comment was not directed towards you; I did not state that you believed Rapinoe hated America. My response to your original comment ("I knew Rapinoe dropped a flag") was simply correcting that mistake, but I wasn't trying to call you out (which is why I didn't quote you). My response to Merkin Baller was in agreement to the line "RW boogey man...by Fox News", which again, was not meant to insinuate anything towards you or your beliefs. Hope you don't take it that way.tempo_n_groove said:
Not what I was saying but what I had remembered, which was partially correct but Rapinoe did not have the flag in her hand.. Never said she hates America either.Vitalogensia said:
You and I are in 100% agreement on this. What they did was a rather standard soccer trophy celebration. Dipshits with an agenda turned that into "She hates America!" and that pretty much brings us up to today.Merkin Baller said:
I recall the incident where Allie Long dropped the flag while doing a choreographed routine w/ Rapinoe, (& one of her teammates quickly scooped it up) but I don't think it was anything other than absent mindedness.. It sure as shit didn't LOOK like any sort of deliberate statement or action.Vitalogensia said:Rapinoe also didn't drop a flag.
If Rapinoe dropped the flag, it's news to me.
In googling the incident, there were were also questions "Did Rapinoe stomp on the American flag?" so I'm thinking people took that Allie Long incident and tried to make it appear way worse than it actually was. (unless I'm missing a whole other incident... I'm open to being corrected here)
Based on what I've read and heard, I'm inclined to think Rapinoe's been built up as another RW boogey man (boogey woman / boogey person?) by Fox News because lets face it... hating women like Rapinoe resonates w/ Fox's audience.0 -

It's called a political spectrum.Do I understand you to mean that standing up for or kneeling with marginalized communities, demanding equal pay or Equitable pay for equal work standing up for lgbtq folks of what she is a lesbian. That these are in fact far left extremist points of view basic human fucking decency is a far left extremist point of view?Alrighty then.

Sorry man. I just think people like Marge Greene are so far off the spectrum, that there is no comparison on the other side.tempo_n_groove said:mrussel1 said:

Never in the history of this forum have I been against the LBGT community yet I get these questions. It started with what I thought was something so simple as trying to point out which side of the aisle someone is on. It was just that simple but just like anything on here that doesn't go with the flow, everyone piles on one part of a comment and it snowballs.
To answer your question No, it should be a standard right. Where on earth would you ever pull that from anyways?0 -

That was the incident. I thought she was holding the flag. The stomping thing I never heard about until now. I watched that in 2019 so forgive me if I remembered wrong as I knew she was in the clip I watched live years ago.Merkin Baller said:

My takeaway from this world cup appearance is the extent to which the WNT has been vilified by RW media, They were criticized this summer for not singing along w/ the anthem... when did that become a thing? (spoiler: it's not a thing and has never been a thing, but this summer it was made into a thing in order to criticize them for being anti-American... it's bullshit propaganda to what end? Stoking Americans' hatred of the other end of the spectrum, which is what Fox does... they have to keep their audience angry)
Rapinoe specifically... she didn't drop the flag, but the impression is out there that she did, and worse... if google prompts the question of her stomping on the flag it tells me people have searched that... that tells me the rumor exists.
I remember at the time a co-worker being pissed that the WNT threw the flag to the ground, and after watching the video, that's not what I saw... this co-worker was angry about it because Fox news told him he should be angry about it.
It's fucked up just how much Fox & others are twisting things to keep people mad & coming back.

If both sides were the same, Al Franken would still be in the senate and even if he were, it’d be a huge stretch to compare the two parties’ extremes as being the “same.”
You have far left and far right, yes? So you can compare them on a scale. One is far left and one is far right. On different points of a political scale which I tried to convey in that one is for LBGT rights and the other enjoys Gazpacho police. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.
It's called a political spectrum.
Being for someone's right's is one thing, and shouldn't be labeled extreme, by the way.
Being against those same people's rights is simply unamerican and not, in any way, equivalent to the other side of the spectrum.
We won't come to any common ground on this so let's just move on.
Never in the history of this forum have I been against the LBGT community yet I get these questions. It started with what I thought was something so simple as trying to point out which side of the aisle someone is on. It was just that simple but just like anything on here that doesn't go with the flow, everyone piles on one part of a comment and it snowballs.
To answer your question No, it should be a standard right. Where on earth would you ever pull that from anyways?
I say this respectfully, as I don't want to do the piling on thing.... it was a bad comparison / analogy.0 -
care to guess what the demographic polling said?

Yeah the singing of the anthem thing is really fucked up. It's like they were just anticipating some of them kneeling or turning their backs or something and had all their manufactured outrage queued up for it...then when that didn't happen, they're like "uh...what do we do now?"

That was the incident. I thought she was holding the flag. The stomping thing I never heard about until now. I watched that in 2019 so forgive me if I remembered wrong as I knew she was in the clip I watched live years ago.Merkin Baller said:
I recall the incident where Allie Long dropped the flag while doing a choreographed routine w/ Rapinoe, (& one of her teammates quickly scooped it up) but I don't think it was anything other than absent mindedness.. It sure as shit didn't LOOK like any sort of deliberate statement or action.Vitalogensia said:Rapinoe also didn't drop a flag.
If Rapinoe dropped the flag, it's news to me.
In googling the incident, there were were also questions "Did Rapinoe stomp on the American flag?" so I'm thinking people took that Allie Long incident and tried to make it appear way worse than it actually was. (unless I'm missing a whole other incident... I'm open to being corrected here)
Based on what I've read and heard, I'm inclined to think Rapinoe's been built up as another RW boogey man (boogey woman / boogey person?) by Fox News because lets face it... hating women like Rapinoe resonates w/ Fox's audience.
My takeaway from this world cup appearance is the extent to which the WNT has been vilified by RW media, They were criticized this summer for not singing along w/ the anthem... when did that become a thing? (spoiler: it's not a thing and has never been a thing, but this summer it was made into a thing in order to criticize them for being anti-American... it's bullshit propaganda to what end? Stoking Americans' hatred of the other end of the spectrum, which is what Fox does... they have to keep their audience angry)
Rapinoe specifically... she didn't drop the flag, but the impression is out there that she did, and worse... if google prompts the question of her stomping on the flag it tells me people have searched that... that tells me the rumor exists.
I remember at the time a co-worker being pissed that the WNT threw the flag to the ground, and after watching the video, that's not what I saw... this co-worker was angry about it because Fox news told him he should be angry about it.
It's fucked up just how much Fox & others are twisting things to keep people mad & coming back.www.myspace.com0 -

This is why I wanted to move on.mrussel1 said:
I don't know that I"ve gone over this with you, so humor me. Do you think legalized gay marriage is an extreme position? Those are rights, along with all of the tax, end of life, and other benefits that come with that marriage.tempo_n_groove said:mrussel1 said:
I don't think supporting rights for LBGT people is extreme. That's pretty mainstream and human. There are "far left" people certainly, but this was not a good example.tempo_n_groove said:

This is exactly right. Any non biased, independent person should be able to come to this conclusion if they are being honest with themself. Problem is there plenty of people who are not honest with themselvesHalifax2TheMax said:
There’s no comparison between the two sides. Sure, they each have their extremes but there’s no way that you can compare any member of the squad with what the repubs have in Matt Getts Off, Maggie Three Names, Lorena Bobbit, George Costanza or Josh Hee Hawley.josevolution said:
That’s what I was trying to convey! You said better thanksThe Juggler said:I really don't like people comparing Marge Greene with someone on the other side of the political spectrum and simply saying something like "well one is far right and the other is far left." No. One is a racist, wackjob bigot. The other believes in rights for people MGT discriminates against. It's not the same thing.
If both sides were the same, Al Franken would still be in the senate and even if he were, it’d be a huge stretch to compare the two parties’ extremes as being the “same.”
You have far left and far right, yes? So you can compare them on a scale. One is far left and one is far right. On different points of a political scale which I tried to convey in that one is for LBGT rights and the other enjoys Gazpacho police. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.
It's called a political spectrum.
Here we go again...The Juggler said:
But it is not a normal political spectrum though. It's not like it used to be and we should not pretend it is.tempo_n_groove said:

Being for someone's right's is one thing, and shouldn't be labeled extreme, by the way.
Being against those same people's rights is simply unamerican and not, in any way, equivalent to the other side of the spectrum.
We won't come to any common ground on this so let's just move on.
Never in the history of this forum have I been against the LBGT community yet I get these questions. It started with what I thought was something so simple as trying to point out which side of the aisle someone is on. It was just that simple but just like anything on here that doesn't go with the flow, everyone piles on one part of a comment and it snowballs.
To answer your question No, it should be a standard right. Where on earth would you ever pull that from anyways?
