Sitting in a crowd and speaking loud enough for the person in front of you to hear. Is that private? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did they know it was loud enough? What if whom they were speaking to was hard of hearing? For that matter, what constitutes a crowd in whatever country you are in or came from? The parsing here gets ridiculous sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woke is an aristocracy devoted to means that prevent minorities from advancement by using the legal system. BLM on the other hand is/was supposed to be a decentralized social movement to enlighten the American public, which went south after even the minorities saw where the money was going. Intent was good following the murders of several African-Americans which we all witnessed, but unfortunately, too much money too soon . . . Gee, and here I had been trying to school you on the evils of racism and Marxism. If racism is evil, there is no 'good' or 'bad' racism, it's all evil. Same goes for sexism. For all Karl's bitching about how one 'class' is better than another, recognizing classes is fundamental to the problem. 'Equality' comes down to equal rights and equal responsibilities, no more and no less. To push for anything else is reprehensible. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe if you read the donglegate link he provided you'd understand it wasn't parsing. But, yeah easier to just make snarky comments. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
