most people don't say what the actually feel most of the time anymore, they care far too much about what others will think and how they will be perceived, the First Amendment is totally fucking dead.

    Post your picture Big Hank.  We can all go UnPC on you.

    But we'd get banned, because being a dick isn't good for discourse.

    no it was the only Bernie meme I had, but I protesting hypocrisy, because had Hillary & the DNC not cheated Bernie, he would have easily beaten Trump, and everyone just let them get away with it, so that makes everyone that let Hillary & Debbie Wasserman-Schultz get away with it, complicit in elected Donald Trump, because Hillary was the only candidate that Trump could possibly win against. So it is absolute hypocrisy, and if your decision on the way you feel is based upon what Party they represent, then you are fake, a fraud. If someone is bad, they are bad regardless of if they are Republican or Democrat

    This is a good example. The term PC has been around since 1990 that I can remember. My definition of it is using language that reflects inclusiveness and equality. Those are things I value so I don’t live in a struggle with the so called PC culture. I don’t say racist or sexist things, I don’t call women girls, I know the difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality, I understand gender and sexuality can be fluid, so I respect people who experience that fluidity, etc. I don’t find these things difficult to believe in. It basically boils down to the no. 1 rule of not beng an ass**le.

    Bernie lost and he would not have beaten Team Trump Treason. Especially with Team Trump Treason’s assist from Russia.

    I am not going to feel bad that when I saw this picture that I thought it was a man, I found out later it is Rachel Maddow, so if I had referred to her as a "Sir" not knowing it was a woman, I'd feel bad, but she shouldn't be mad

    That shape is good for your face and not out of date or style, but they are a little too wide.  Next time when you find a frame you like, ask your optical person if the size is good and if they can order in other sizes.  If you bring them down a size the lens will be more centered on your eye and there will be less of the distortion which gives a fishbowl feel to the world, though most people don't notice that overtly, they often notice when it disappears with new glasses.

    No I am not complicit for not voting for someone who is every bit the criminal as Donald Trump, I have too high of a moral code to support someone that corrupt
