I agree that ad-hominem and unprovoked personal attacks should not be tolerated but phrases like "lacking social skills" concern me in the same way phrases like "I only work with the best and brightest" and "We should only let smart people vote" do.…

I think Urho would make a great MMORPG guild. It's anonymous, your avatar is the only sorta product, and we could discuss racism and sandwiches while fighting dragons and programming mods. Eh? JK but not really. :)

I would be sad to see it go, but it's probably for the best. Good luck to you all. Seriously.

I need to get over to dove vivi. I have never had any Portland deep dish. You should definitely give Rudy's a shot. It is a very specific kind of pizza that reminds me of home. Just real buttery and solid. Tons of great toppings too.

Why is Portland so white? I went to Seattle for the first time this weekend assuming it would be as bad as it is here. It is not. Not even close. What made and continues to make Portland this west coast island of being closed off to even a sorta rea…

I literally only come to this board because there are a lot of smart people on it with different perspectives than myself, and I think that is super valuable. It's certainly not because I am popular or well liked or am under the illusion that I ever…

The thing is, amongst my LGBT buddies 'bitch' is used all the time as a compliment or term of endearment. I understand that there are maybe problems with that and it's why I apologized but I thought this was a thing that people were at least aware o…

It was meant kindly but apparently went super wrong in translation. I tried to explain that. Twice. Three times now. Apologized too. Again, I'm sorry. A couple of times people have unapologetically meant truly cruel and mean spirited things that th…

I've had a theory that for tough subjects, the voice in everyone's head that they are hearing as they read everyone else is the biggest jerk ever. It's why the horrible comments sections and twitter wars happen. People don't mean things as harshly a…

I think you misunderstand me, but that doesn't really matter. I am difficult to understand. I think I sent you a message.
-
You were never out of my good graces. Not trying to "straighten you out". Just trying to listen. I'm a white dude in Portland. I don't have many opportunities to hear other perspectives that might enlighten me. Just trying to help a fellow human b…
-
Guuurrrrl you are hilarious, but I think you just turned the corner from a passionate and frustrated activist/intellectual with some solid points into a plain old run of the mill shitty internet troll. You wanna email with me? I'll shut up and try t…

Jesus Christ. Sorry alright. Just sorry. Sorry for anything horrible I am doing or did. For what it's worth I was trying to say it as means of respect like sassy effeminate people do from time to time. The way people say it to sometimes mean "You be…

I mean, besides being a racist and sexist, I'm a wimpy bald chubby bisexual geek. People have been laying huge shits on my face for years. You're right. Your little farts are pretty much less than nothing comparatively. No offense. That is not a con…

I am a dumb racist. Sexist too. Working to be less of all of those day by day. There are a lot of dumb people like myself though. They probably aren't on this board. Here you are just sorta fighting with me about...I'm not really sure, but peace to …
-
I'd only say that because every time I have seen someone called a racist (outside of a couple of celebrities maybe) they either dig their heals in further or ignore it. I'm not sure who that helps. I am wrong all the time. I am probably wrong about …

Also, making up mythologies about someone you have never met to tell yourself you have figured them out so you can have control...pretty ironic in this thread.
-
I don't think trading anger for sadness and forgiveness is the same as "freeing myself from care"
-
Also, calling out racist ideas and actions is totally productive, but calling people racist, while maybe not name calling, is definitely a waste of time.
-
Dude. Kelsey. Consider you don't know me, and you don't know what I have been through so I would kindly ask you to consider that before you label any sadness a privilege or lecture anyone on moral obligations because you are being as blindly apathet…
-
LT, I admire your rage. Really I do. For me at least, I am just a lazy coward now. I used to have the energy to be mad at stuff that was happening in the world, and to try to keep up with all the best thinkers. I used to be part of the C.A.N. networ…
-
That depends. I mean you always have the right, but do you mostly avoid your sweet Aunt Dyanna and then the one time you see her you call her a dumb racist for something stupid she said? Cause yeah, that sorta sucks. Not to whip out the ol' two wron…

Also, in response to where I have seen opinion changes in people in my own life, it seems like a lot of them come from in person conversations between family members or close friends. So maybe that's a solution. Make more close friends and talk to t…
-
I guess all I'll say is that a person can find the most logical and "best" moral position ever and can speak to it over and over again, but if they don't listen to the people who don't have it and every time a person talks about it they get super sa…

Hmm...I hear you. Maybe he didn't have anything to offer you, but I guess I had seen this video going around a bunch and I thought it hit on some sort of middle America rage that resonates with some of my family members and with that part of middle …

I mean, you should watch it @Loose_Thread. It's short. I mean you don't have to. I don't know if I would endorse what he is saying or how he is saying it, but I think he hits on something in his seemingly faux rage thing. Also, I heard someone say…

Not sure how I feel about this guy, but...

http://graphics.wsj.com/blue-feed-red-feed/ This shit is maybe the thing killing us the most, not just politically but on most social fronts.

Yeah, the two things that scare me more than anything about the result are, like you said, all these bigots, racists, misogynists, etc being give the thumbs up for their attitudes and being emboldened to act out their horrifying impulses. Also, for …
