I don't appreciate your continued joke with "retard". The reference to divorced dad isn't even in the same fucking ballpark (spoken in my best Samuel L. Jackson voice).cincybearcat said:Yup, bunch of retards in the echo chamber. I agree. Oh wait....can’t say retards. Bunch of divorced dads. Yup that’s betterIt's a hopeless situation...0 -
dad. singular. speaking of a specific type. not a blanket statement of all formerly married fathers.cincybearcat said:That would be healthier. Good suggestion, but I’m not very good at it.
ok - so you didn’t see anything wrong with it. I do, not a big deal cause I know her intentions are true. She is just so polished and calculated that this seemed way out of place for her. I don’t like the fact that it’s ok to make fun of divorced dads as if they are all deadbeats. Personally I think she used “divorced” when she meant “deadbeat”.

no one's panties are knotted up. just a discussion.Bentleyspop said:So just to be clear.....
For some on here, and for a lot of people in this country, it is okay for the currently elected president to insult and make fun of just about anyone he can think of. To be an anti-constitution racist xenophobe.
But Michelle Obama makes an attempt at a humorous analogy and people's panties get knotted up?By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -

Fair enough though, trying to make a point but perhaps too far. I will cease.hippiemom = goodness0 -

Ok, if one were to interpret it that way, then I get it. I just don't interpret it the same. Fair enough. I'll keeping enjoying my red vino and pasta and reading along here.mcgruff10 said:IMO, How she portrayed divorced dads.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

I responded to you seriously and with regard to what was in the article and gave what my interpretation of it was. That is what I consider debating an issue.
You choose to ignore when people give serious statements. There is no way that real debate can occur when you don't respond to people who are actually referencing the article and respecting their point of view as they are respecting yours.
If you only respond to the threads that are not substantive than I can't give credence to you really wanting to discuss the article.
It would be really really nice to have an honest respectful debate between two people who have differing opinions. That is how we learn.
But I haven't seen you actually engage with anyone who is trying to have a discussion with you. Disagreement doesn't mean you are being attacked, but when you only respond with terse comments then it goes off the rails.
I have tried several times to discuss this and you ignore me so please don't say that the left is being faux outraged over something. People have actually attempted to connect with you. It is your choice to ignore substantive debate and that is sorely lacking in this nation that needs healing.0 -
Honestly Nancy your first post was “trump is worse”. Your second defended that post. After that and all the other posts coming at me...I may have missed your other oneshippiemom = goodness0

No, you can. It’s over-sensitive libs that are offended by that. They, unlike you, are the PC police.cincybearcat said:Yup, bunch of retards in the echo chamber. I agree. Oh wait....can’t say retards. Bunch of divorced dads. Yup that’s better
Back to the topic at hand...Michelle Obama is disgusting and I hope this haunts her forever.

But nice work making this about the poster poster rather than the statement by a former First Lady. Par for the course. You’ve earned your AMT badge.Post edited by cincybearcat onhippiemom = goodness0 -
Nancy - read some more. You had another post where’s you misquoted me using “they” not reading..., not what I said. I said “they” meaning the author agree with Michelle. And some people clearly didn’t read as they apparently assumed the article was outrage about Michelle.
Not sure how you want me to respond to that.hippiemom = goodness0 -
Honestly Cincy, I don't know why I try to offer a chance to have a real conversation. I spend time thinking about a response and you just dismiss me. Sorry you missed everything except what you found to be offensive. I tried.cincybearcat said:Honestly Nancy your first post was “trump is worse”. Your second defended that post.

remember when trump made that joke to megan kelly about blood coming out of her wherever because she was asking him tough questions? and everyone on the left got all pissy about it? but it was just a joke, about a well established stereotype, so what was all the fuss about then?
it's really strange how the only people "outraged" by anything is the fact that anyone wants to talk about it.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
There seems to be an expectation of outrage. And frankly, I just don’t think it warranted any. Since you don’t like to make it about the poster, I assume you won’t be calling me a hypocritecincybearcat said:Not true. I respect Michelle a lot. Found this to be out of character.

i went back and read your posts in this thread. as he stated, your first post was referencing trump and how he is worse. your only other post directly responding to cincy was something you misinterpreted, and sometimes people miss posts directed at them.njnancy said:Honestly Cincy, I don't know why I try to offer a chance to have a real conversation.

i'm not sure where all of this aggression towards cincy is coming from. it's really weird.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
You're comparing Trump making fun of a woman's natural bodily function and Michele criticising a dad who chooses to be a poor role model and parental figure? Again, not even the same fucking ballpark.HughFreakingDillon said:remember when trump made that joke to megan kelly about blood coming out of her wherever because she was asking him tough questions? and everyone on the left got all pissy about it? but it was just a joke, about a well established stereotype, so what was all the fuss about then?

he used a stereotype to label any strong woman with a well thought out opinion as on her period.tbergs said:You're comparing Trump making fun of a woman's natural bodily function and Michele criticising a dad who chooses to be a poor role model and parental figure?

she used a stereotype to label any divorced single dad as an negligent asshole.
but yeah, of course, it's never "in the same fucking ballpark". it never is.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
I was going back and reading your responses. Those were the first 2 I saw. I had already responded. I posted and was going back to try and find more... my phone is dying though.njnancy said:Honestly Cincy, I don't know why I try to offer a chance to have a real conversation.
