then why do you side with the GOP in so many ways?


I also side with the Democrats on many issues, they're just not issues that get discussed here often, and more importantly, this forum leans so liberal that the vast majority of my argument happen to be with liberals. What's the point of me posting threads about things that the vast majority of people here will agree with me on?

if somebody or group of somebodies are doing their best to hamper me at the polls, and enable insurance companies to deny me health care, how is that NOT a victimization?


That's not what I was talking about, I was talking about the way you act whenever someone calls you on your BS, in this case accusing me of "gaslighting" you, when all I've done is point out hypocrisies in things you're saying.

you still deny that fox is a de facto fox mouthpiece. EVERYTHING that comes out of their mouth is a political "dog whistle" of some kind. EVERYTHING. "fair and balanced" my foot. :x


I don't see the point in engaging you on this, I could link every video where FOX has gone after Republicans, including breaking the W DUI story, and you'd just brush it off and keep ranting.

I frankly don't have time to go through your old posts [like you did with mine] to find all the instances of gaslighting and other forms of your invalidation and patronizing attitude towards me. you deny that is insulting, so there can be no retort to one who denies the reality of what he is doing. I cannot reconcile how you behave with me here as opposed to the meetups. I suspect that if I had avoided my mention of hot topics in mixed company you would have gone off at me there also. OTOH, wrong planet is supposed to be a place one doesn't have to fear speaking one's mind. so I do and you don't like it [and me] because i am not 100% in lapdog accord with your philosophy. you admit "toying with people" - how is that not insulting? how is that NOT passive-aggressive? that is just like rush, to deny his blatant insults are insults, the perfect invalidation AFAIC.


You have nothing but time last I checked, the reason you're not posting examples is because you don't have any. I stand by what I've said, you're the one who's spun all this paranoia out of nothing, and launched countless personal attacks based on your delusional twisting of my posts, I've treated you no differently than I've treated anyone else here, just like I told you I would.

it is called at-one-ment. any other way is just looking for a fight.

there you go again turning this discussion against me instead of sticking to the point of this thread which, although that woman's suffering doesn't seem to register much in your mind, it is nevertheless of current import and important to HER.

you keep saying I've made PERSONAL attacks against YOU when I merely pointed out things you said and took issue with them. you are just looking for a fight. you are not worth my time. go ahead and flame this thread away.

100 times in 10 hours!
That's once every six minutes, and clearly that's just not good enough.

Why is a liberal that shrieks like a dying rabbit at ANYTHING right of far left watching FOX?
I never even knew or cared who Bob Beckel was until watching this video. I still don't care who Bob Beckel is.
All this butthurt over a video of some cat calling. :roll:

Quote:
the only way I could put it that might be totally transparent, would be to liken what that woman went through to what a young "twink" goes through in jail or prison, being led down the gauntlet of the cellblock to his destination cell, enduring all the catcalls and obvious ogling.

I think there's quite a difference between a woman walking down the sidewalk of her choosing and a twink in prison.

Why wasn't this thread opened in PRR?

again, are you a mod? who appointed you as final arbiter of what posts go where? and why can't you at least entertain what it might be like to be that set-upon young woman? this can't all be just a TOM thing.

Why did you put this and that other one here?

All the sudden after eons of catcalling we're all supposed to light a candle for it or something. Half the women like it, anyway.

Get a grip.

only if you see it that way.

Raptor wrote:

because they both were IMHO newsworthy and current and not strictly a thing of PPR-style debate. again, what is it to you?

I posted the video in L&D:

Hollaback!

I found the fox response quite funny.

The actress in the film opened herself up to comments by participating in the production. So I am not bothered by fox having some fun.

I've been "cat called" It's life. Only a couple of times did I fear fearful and this was when the men were in groups. They seem to become competitive with one another in such a situation and it becomes like a pack mentality towards the woman. But I find that if you acknowledge them and take control of the verbal exchange, it deescalates things.

some of us lack the "take control of the verbal exchange" genes, and simply cannot do other than the "deer in the headlights" thing. so it is up to the other people in that picture to do the right thing or at least do no harm. neither of those things was happening in that scenario. what is needed, is another undercover video showing an elderly person of no obvious physical attractiveness, walking in those same neighborhoods, to see what happens.
