Welcome Don’t ever stand back from touting your Christian faith. Most of the people here do not understand what you are saying, but you are right. Lol no. Nobody cares if you or anyone else is Christian. You’re not being persecuted because someone disagrees with your worldview. That mentality is wild. But I’m sure Starbucks has a red holiday cup that doesn’t explicitly mention Christmas that needs protesting. So your ire will always be in demand. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more life experience do I need to come into ‘your world’ and realise how life is like?! When he says “real world” he means his own specific echo chamber. So yes, I imagine there’s some truth in what he saying. People he associates with probably feel the same way he does. I don’t have a problem with people being in echo chambers, but I do have a problem when they’re condescending and claiming to speak for “everybody” else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For people like DNG who just want to live their lives and be themselves and have every right to do so. I accept you DNG. You're good peoples. Just now, 1WngdAngel said: So I was going to avoid commenting all together, but this struck me. It reminds me of the "To be silent is to be complicit" slogan that got thrown around last summer. I hated it then and I hate it now. It's an underhanded tactic that comes across as shaming someone into agreeing with you. I have my own life, my own problems, and a family to worry about, I don't have to care about you or anyone else with your troubles and that does not make me or anyone else who takes that stance a bad person. This type of rhetoric just needs to stop as it just deepens any divide that was already there and pushes people away from the cause you're championing. I'm not saying you're a bad person. But if someone is spouting hateful rhetoric around you, hitting them with a Samuel L Jackson STFU is something you should do to be a good person. Otherwise, you're just a neutral person. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he is treated equally and respected. With that said, hope people don’t call Mark Davis a homophobe when we cut him next year. It was already a unanimous fan decision that we all want him gone (before he came out). He was quite bad last year and eating a ton of salary cap. As an outsider looking in, but someone familiar with his game, he’s definitely overpaid. I don’t think him being cut should be a surprise. That said, we’ll see if he’s actually on a roster next season, because he is definitely good enough for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. You’ve been accused hundreds of times? And you never once thought maybe you were the problem? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly what our world needs, less empathy. I mean if someone saying "you should openly care about the wellbeing of your fellow citizen" is enough to "push you from the cause" you were never going to support the cause anyway. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article that suicidal thoughts were up to 25% amongst youth in 2020. Probably also has something to do with the pandemic. Not to demean your point, because obviously LBGTQ is a high risk group and needs support. I think it’s 99% to do with the pandemic. 1% just natural increase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's legitimately better than a lot of the DL talent here in Atlanta. I wouldn't mind him here for depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird, I don't think I've ever been accused of arguing in bad faith. I've been accused of being wrong a lot, and I've been wrong a lot more than that. But I don't think anyone has ever been so frustrated by the logic and how I presented it that they were left with no other conclusion that I'm lying. Of course, this is all giving people the benefit of the doubt. When thousands of people spout "I'm indifferent" on twitter, people know what that is and what it means. Even if someone meant it sincerely, they'd correct when they realized that they inadvertently spouted a dog whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
