    I am not trying to tell him what he is re
    I didn't infer anything. I was merely pointing out his post was an attack on liberals. A petty meme complete with the newest alt right symbol.

    That changes everything, she is obviously a conservative if she was hanging with GI Joe.

    I can think of plenty of reasons besides race as to why the white woman was harassing the black guy entering the luxury apartment building.

    Hardly anyone is giving her the benefit of the doubt.

    I don't think it is necessarily pejorative, but I'm also not sure it's accurate.

    The words mean what she says? I guess I'm ok with her being elected, but I'm not sure she should be the arbiter on how the English language works. But probably I'm misunderstanding what you meant there.

    I'd say O-C is closer to being a democratic socialist than Clinton is to being a neoliberal.

    You're a thin-veil-guy I've realized for quite a while. Keep at it.

    Wow, this is so ridiculous it took me a good minute to even figure out what she was upset about... Ohhhh, the word has "man" in it...

    Just an FYI so that you can avoid these confrontations in the future:

    We can no longer use the word human, it must be "hu". And don't get me started on romanticism, maneuver, demand, permanent, management, performance... etc.

    But lastly, and this is important, we can no longer say woman, it must simply be "wo".

    All said, I really din't understand the woman's problem with sportsmanship, its a gender neutral word. It includes both men and women

    Well, the word clearly implies that the characteristics encompassed in that phrase are inherently exhibited by males who play sports, and completely disregards the likelihood of females who play in a sporting way to exhibit those same characteristics. Is a polite female athlete a good "sportsman"? I submit that she is NOT!!
