    I don't want you to think I'm just picking on you (since this would be the third post of yours today that I've responded to), because I'm not. I haven't read anything about this issue, nor do I plan on doing so.

    My question is what does "spread the word, to end the word" have any relation to this? As in, why is telling people not to use a derogatory or a portion of our population (usually a population unable to defend itself verbally) something someone should have a problem with?

    If a lawyer wrote my posts, I'd look thoughtful and smart too.

    :)

    No worries, even if you were picking on me, lol.

    "Word," with a capital W, means "Word of God." So not only is Christianity not welcome in public schools now, but campaigning for active suppression of Christians and their faith is just fine...

    If that is the case he didn't have to use it.

    OOOH...I've never heard it being about that. The only thing I've heard it being about is the R word.

    Everything I googled show'd it being about the R word, nothing to do with religion. Was that part of this story?

    The point is that many Trump supporters get that from "make america great again" and that's a big reason why they like him. Because they're racist and they want to return to "the good ol' days" when beating black/gay/trans people up for fun was even more prevalent than it is today and was rarely punished.

    "Make Government Great" is right out of the French Revolution (see days of terror that followed) or the Russian Revolution.

    Are you one of them? If not how do you know thats what "a lot of trump supporters think" ive noticed the coddle generation like to take an extreme example and apply 1 idiots ideals to a large group of people. It's a boring debate tactic but can add humor to the right arguement. For instance: all hillary supports are fem bot nazi's and sackless beta men.

    Everyone comes up with a retarded slogan. Obama was "yes we can" who is "we"?

    Except your example is not comparable to what I said at all, because I didn't say 'all'. If you don't think that many of Trump's supporters are actually racist and that's a big reason they support him, I don't know what to tell you. It's pretty obvious. Also, implying that a certain generation is the only one that likes to generalize is pretty ridiculous.

    Nope, he was a stud then turned pussy. What would really bother me is if he actually does want to build a wall. Building a wall is sooooo stupid unless it also looks awesome like that Chinese one.

    Me, you wanna talk about freedom of speech and who isn't afraid to just say shit outright? I work with 10 Mexican guys. I talk mad shit about soccer whenever the topic comes up. Yeah, I don't have a gun because I've never been afraid.

    Well, the people who own the homes across the street from the school may have something to say about that.

    So everyone who buys a raincoat actually fears getting raindrops on them, and people who wash their hands with soap after taking a dump actually fear feces germs will crawl up their arms and kill them, or do you think maybe they're just taking practical steps in their daily lives.

    I believe he was referring to "the banks too big to not be bailed out by the taxpayers they stole homes from."

    Are you really living that detatched from the real world that you buy that CNN bs? Do you really think Trump is more popular than all Republican candidates including Ted Cruz because he's more conservative? Do you think the RNC tried to end-run around him because he's conservative?

    Trump is a moderate/liberal, Hillary is a big-business lobbyist, racist-homophobe conservative, and Bernie is a well-intentioned commie.

    Trump will win this puppy in a landslide.
