You'd be wise to stop jumping to conclusions.

Maybe you need to communicate differently. I'm not the only one who thinks that you play games asking open ended questions and stroking your beard.

Literally the first time in my life (over 50 years) that anyone has ever told me I don't communicate well. Seriously.

Who the hell cares how the lady would have been treated in the 80s? We're never going back to that time period, short of a major technological cataclysm. This type of conversation is pedantic as 🞵🞵🞵🞵 and the people who perpetuate it seem to have a hidden agenda to turn it into a anti-wokeness diatrabe.

I for one, think this thread should be closed by the mods.

Well there's a first time for everything. You are very articulate but deliberately obtuse. You rarely say the objectionable thing, just ask questions and play both sides while thriving in the chaos that is created. Maybe this is your intention. If you do simply want to start arguments ("debates" if you prefer) then just admit it. Don't complain about stricter workplace HR rules but then say that you support them.

Of course you would.

Can't let the adults have an interesting discussion.

The kids feel left out.

Not enough TMZ content.

What are the Kardashians up to today?

It's the delicate dance that educated MAGA-sympathizers have to do to say their piece without being overtly-deplorable lol

5 pages later and he's STILL wringing his hands over potential social consequences for the racist karen!

On par with the comment about other forumers living in their mom's basements. Your idea of interesting conversation appears to be pushing people's buttons to get a reaction and then feigning victimhood.

Hate to break it to you, but people who have no memory of the early 80s have been adults for decades now. And how the 🞵🞵🞵🞵 would I know what the Kardashians are up to today? There's a thing called Google and your age group would be apt to start using it instead of posting inane thoughts on Facebook all the time.

[Acajack]

Say the guys whose main contribution to SSP is to act as a self-anointed thought police.

Most of the time you don't even pay attention to what's being discussed.

I was mostly talking in terms of mental age in fact, so if the shoe fits, wear it.

(You're not even capable of understanding sarcasm for 🞵🞵🞵🞵 sakes, and think I was seriously asking you for an update on the Kardashians.)

Who am I?: "I mean, derp derp .. Quebec ... derp ... Francophones ... derp derp derp ... Anglophones derp ROC derp ..."

* hint - never posts on the Quebec regional section for some odd reason

[rousseau]

Childish tantrums, bizarre accusations, ad hominem nonsense and ganging up on individual posters like Acajack for engaging in what initially seemed like an interesting discussion?

It's SSP at its most typical these days, it seems. It even reads a bit like a performance art piece satirizing the worst of Millennial wokeness. Though that would require a modicum of introspection and self-awareness, so maybe not.

In all my time here, I think "Acajack as MAGA guy" really takes the cake. I honestly have no idea how on earth anyone can say that with a straight face, but if even ostensibly reasonable people are beginning to man the barricades at their tribal beehives and throwing hissy fits like this in the face of political disagreement, then maybe we really are well and truly fucked.

You clearly never visited the Trump thread in the Skybar.

Thanks. Nothing further to add.

The lack of self-awareness among such "progressives" is why I stopped being fully active on this forum. At least we're due for a reckoning. When leftists are seen as extreme right-wingers, you know there's some issue.

[CivicBlues]

Totally, it's all the Millennials fault. Case in point these progressives below now have something in common with extreme right wingers - finding themselves on no-fly lists (Oh and it's also relevant to the spirit of this thread! -- Triple Word Score!):

A group of Quebec influencers and reality show stars could be facing thousands of dollars in fines after videos surfaced showing them partying without masks on board a Sunwing flight from Montreal to Cancun.

Is there any other situation where “just having a bad day” is an excuse anyone accepts? It is not accepted in criminal law or civil law and most people would not accept it in their personal lives (cheating spouses, etc.) or professional lives.

I'm generally more forgiving towards people yelling obscenities than, say, murder.
