ExMachina

😂

Mockery has become the highest form of flattery in a world that had become a joke so, thank you!  😁

I like watching people dig holes for themselves.

I’d read your previous posts and looked to find common ground between us, but there had always been something not right about what you had been saying. You had done a great job bringing people to understand where you are coming from, but you’ve always displayed the inability to think outside of your…[Read more]

Yes, you asked for it and I pointed it out to you.  Don’t complain now.  I look forward to your explanation of where you believe I went wrong in this.

I like watching people dig holes for themselves.

Ok, so you’re not going to answer my question and I’m not going to bother explaining.

 Maybe we are trying too hard at being diverse.

Or maybe there are too many people trying to hate white people as a means to make themselves look better. It’s no mystery what happened to the Indians or the black victims of slavery. Supporters of CRT love to act as though slavery was never taught in history, or if it had been, that they were all…[Read more]

@mriana 😂 You’re right. I had meant to say “Melting Pot”, but it’s late and I’m tired so my brain is at half mush right now.  You have to admit though that “Boiling Pot” makes far more sense of what America has become. Most of the BLM movement protesters seem to be a bunch of white-hating white people who scream at other white people who they’ve…[Read more]

You condemn people who mock others for their peculiarities, yet you persist in calling them “idiots” yourself.

I have seen many times this argument in the past only to realize that it is one of the greatest fundamental problems that plague this forum.  I myself am willing to recognize that I had possibly done this without even realizing it. I ask…[Read more]

A great nation? I don’t think the U.S. has ever been great and depending on who you talk to, you’d hear the same answer. My husband doesn’t think it’s ever been great. Native Americans and Black people, most if not a vast majority or even all would say it’s never been great. This nation would be great if every human in the country truly were trea…

 I think this information is easily available,

Yes, you’re right, information has never in human history been so easily accumulated, and even though there are fringe groups out there, it doesn’t take much research to find credible sites.  Not meant as preaching, but always question new information, but don’t close yourself so much that you can’t a…[Read more]

Extremes, on any subject, seems to be the new thing any more.

The last greatest country to have ever existed will die by Tribalism. It’s a sad end to an otherwise great nation.

But you can’t see that you are doing it. That’s not unusual.

and you could easily be doing the same and not realize it. Telling someone that they’re doing it, is vastly different than explaining HOW they are doing it.

That’s the fad lately – on both extremes of the spectrum.

back in the early 90’s I had two friends both brother and sister who would argue ALL the time. I decided one day to sit down and be the middle man to listen to both sides and hopefully resolve their differences. Multiple times I had to try and calm them from escalating before I realized wha…[Read more]

 and are just plain wrong

 

why is the new thing not being comfortable with one’s body and one’s wrong if they are comfortable with themselves. — mriana

It’s not a thing -Lausten
Good. I’m glad it’s not a thing, but it sure seems like it is, because people get bent if you are comfortable.

Yes, it is a thing. It’s the new “woke” method of belittling people for not being “…[Read more]

I get choked up for Hallmark movies, which is not considered “manly” according to some, so why can’t someone have some other feelings that don’t fit the stereotypes?

I meant to have brought this up earlier since I knew it was personal and it was a point where I thought we could finally find some agreement between us. The problem of our society…[Read more]

there aren’t 58 genders, that’s stuff that people like ExMachina make up as straw man arguments.
A lot of nonsensical identities do exist.

I honestly thought this was common knowledge, and worse yet, I really thought most people on the CFI forum would agree with the idea of nonsensical identities. I know the LGBT+ supports many of these alt…[Read more]

I wasn’t twisting anything here. The post was emotionally manipulative to make Mriana feel guilty for being ” uncharacteristically dismissive of people who do feel a different gender”.  I didn’t read her post as being dismissive so much as her being comfortable with herself. I don’t think you did it intentionally, but that’s definitely how it came off.

Maybe it was clear to you since you’ve may have had these discussions with write4u in the past. Regardless, I appreciate the link. I’ve bookmarked the page, and I’ll look into it over the week.

Yes, and you are being uncharacteristically dismissive of people who do feel a different gender.

I didn’t take her post that way at all. What I see is her being comfortable with who she is, not feeling that she has to conform herself to any sociological presumption of who she should be.  Attacking her on that just because she’s not being…[Read more]
