teachercd Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Some might consider that not something to be proud of, but to teach their own... Well, maybe there should be way more bannings in the political thread. I would be happy to point out a few that are really nasty. Link to comment

teachercd Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Let's stay on topic, here. Sure! Regarding the article and quote...why is "c**t" capitalized? Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Let's stay on topic, here. Sure! Regarding the article and quote...why is "c**t" capitalized? Not sure. I googled "should c*** be capitalized" and got some weird results. Then I yahoo'd "should c*** be capitalized" and got: Including results for should aunt be capitalized Search only for should c*** be capitalized and when I clicked the "Search only for should c*** be capitalized" link I got: When do you capitalize count? | Yahoo Answers It's like they don't want me to learn more about c***s Link to comment

That is funny! I almost googled it too! I don't get it...I mean, was there someone in the room and his/her name was c**t? It makes no sense at all. Maybe there was some English guy/girl in the room...that word is super popular there, maybe it is also a name? Google "Common English Names" maybe it will come up. Link to comment

Moiraine Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Depressing. Sorry Zoogs. Obviously I take the topic seriously but I already know about Trump and a large chunk of his followers. At this point (in the day) I can't spend much more energy being pissed off. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 FWIW Zoogs I saw this tweet earlier and thought about posting it, but didn't. I probably already post too much stuff anyway.It's just way too easy to cut him down at the knees on any given issue. The hypocrisy is staggering, and this is what we should expect from a guy who just says literally whatever he wants about anything at any given time to try to get a point across.But I think the alarming thing in all this is that he is trying to normalize things in this country that should NOT be normalized. Things that should NOT be legitimized. Things like violence against those who disagree with you. Treating women like property and with no respect. Verbally slandering anyone who criticizes you. Otherizing various groups of people and making them seem dangerous when they're not. Playing hard and fast with any type of factual basis in reality in favor of unfiltered lying. Passing off conspiracy theories as fact. Stiffing people who have been contracted to work for you because it serves your own bottom line. And, of course, wanton hatred towards the political press. I can't endorse any of those things. So obviously I view him as a repulsive person. 2 Link to comment
Army_Allen Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Let's stay on topic, here. Sure! Regarding the article and quote...why is "c**t" capitalized? It's a quote in* a quote so it's something someone said, therefore capitalized. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I had to walk away for 12 hours before responding to this - What makes me so frickin' angry is that these men have mothers, daughters, wives. Some of these people ARE WOMEN. WTF kind of bizarro world are we in that we are taking all these steps backward when it comes to how anyone other than white, christian men are viewed? Trump's run has single handedly brought out all the deplorables (yes I said it) who now believe it's ok to express their prejudices because he's done it and literally rallied others to do so in public forums. I can't believe his daughter will stand next to him in public, and it's no wonder that Melania is rarely beside him. Even if he doesn't win, he has set us back 40-50 years, and I think it's a far more dangerous time for the bigotry/misogyny/homophobic etc. 4 Link to comment
