Who else on here feels this way?

[Daniela1982]

Or do you agree with only some of it? Which do you not agree with?

[awkward_author]

1. As a queer person, I don't care what you believe as long as it doesn't negatively impact my life (ex. limiting my rights).
2. I'm Asian, so I count as a person of color. The only thing I'll mention is it would be nice to have some of my history included in school because it is part of American history.
3. I agree that people should stop making judgements about others based on political affiliation.
4. Regarding this, I can understand how racial minorities feel upset as a result of mistreatment and possess a desire for it to stop. However, blaming and expecting favors from white people is unreasonable. It also won't change anything, so there's that.
5. People are going to think your beliefs are wrong. I've been told that as well. Unless the other person provides a good reason behind why I'm wrong, I just shrug off their opinion and move on.

[Daniela1982]

Well if everyone were able to get something for mistreatment you would have to get in line as the American Indians, Blacks, Chinese, Irish, Italians, Japanese Americans who lost all they had when stuck in internment camps during WWII, Gays, Jews, and others, all would have claims.

[awkward_author]

I'm talking about current mistreatment. Sorry if that wasn't clear. For example, police brutality has been an issue lately. Maybe we can try and figure out how we can lessen that? I think the main problem I have with politics, is that everyone's yelling, but no one's listening. I'm open to talking to you about the immigration aspect of #4 if you're interested. I always want to know what others think about it, especially since I'm an immigrant.

[Daniela1982]

I'm pretty sure #4 is referring to black slavery.

[awkward_author]

Sorry. I thought part of it might have been referring to immigration.

[DonkeyDan]

Sometimes this is how I feel yes, I'm open to all and don't think badly of anyone, and it annoys me when someone judges me because of my, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, political and religious views, etc. Personally I think everyone needs to 'live and let live in life'.
I don't usually get offended by others feelings towards me but of recent years I'm getting tired of being blamed for something I've never been part of.
People need to stop worrying what others are doing and concentrate on making themselves a better person.

[MCheetah]

I feel EXACTLY that same way, and I would fall under the category of not being a "straight white male."

I think we're all sick of the worst people in society - Hollywood and corporate CEOs - trying to morally lecture us about how we're such bad people, so we can divide ourselves and they can conquer us.

I would try to convince everyone not to fall for it, but let's be honest... Most of this vitriol and pure disgusting hate is coming from the radical left, who are also the most useless people in society. It's not a case of "Liberals" or "Democrats." It's a few batsh*t insane lunatics who should've been slapped by their parents long ago. They're the reason we all don't unite against the ones trying to destroy us. They are keeping us from coming together by constantly attacking us and dehumanizing us as nothing more than bigots.

[ShadezMcgee]

I feel like this for sure. All I really want is for people to leave me the fuck alone in terms of beliefs and be able to be an adult about it for different opinions and be able to agree to disagree.

When you start making your personal beliefs become a problem for me when I had no issue with it to begin with is when my tolerance for your bullshit becomes obsolete. THEN I have a problem with you.

[mark000h]

This is actually really good @daniela1982. Me likes.

[Sevenpointfive]

that's mostly true

[Citizenkirk]

Sounds like you need to part ways.

[exitseven]

Yes, this is exactly how I feel.

[Johnagain]

I like this. It gives me perspective.
As a jaded 55-year-old, I can be judgmental to a point.
This helps me keep myself in check.

[Massageman]

Right on with all seven. One for every day of the week.
Whether or not some takes something personally, the damage is still being done, our kids are still being indoctrinated.

[MysticDevice]

Couldn't have said it any better myself. 100% truth right there.

[Recurrence]

I don’t really take anything personally, so I disagree with everything on there

[Daniela1982]

No matter what anyone tells you, they still take some things personally unless they are a hermit.

[Recurrence]

Okay, I still disagree with the list

[Daniela1982]

Which you certanly have the right to do.

[Gal67]

Yep, I agree with every word of it. I really do not care if others choose to destroy their own lives by indulging in destructive behaviour, nor do I care if they have idiotic beliefs, but if anyone tries to compel me to accept their delusions and start to call me childish names if I do not, then they're practically begging to have their teeth knocked out. I don't tolerate bullshit, from anyone.

[Likes2drive]

Some of these yeah

[motownplayer2000]

Still don’t care when they do..

[Cringe]

All of that is false

[Daniela1982]

I forgot to put the thing about some men being misogynists, you know, like them thinking they are kings?

[Cringe]

Wow you're retarded

[Daniela1982]

And you are a lame ass troll.

[Cowboy6666]

Yep, I 100% agree with every word of it.

[Surely]

All so true!

[king34]

i agree mostly

[notwoke]

Amen, could not have said it better

[OddBeMe]

I guess I ask, how is it being shoved down your throat? Who’s forcing you to recognize anyone?

[Daniela1982]

You really have no clue? Where do you live, in a little hamlet in the hills of Kentucky?

[OddBeMe]

Austin. The heart of Texas’s progressive gay commie community. None there are demanding people call them anything or demanding special favors. They just want to live their way. And if you ask them what pronoun they prefer they’ll tell you.

[Daniela1982]

Well maybe where you live and I hope all would want to live that way. But just as there are a bunch of straights who seem to feel entitled there are also gays who also feel the same. It just depends on where you live I guess. Those in the bigger cities have their parades while those in smaller communities just live their lives like straights and don't make it a point of calling attention to themselves or pressing issues that straights also don't. That is the way it should be, unlike in the state of California wherre everyone is a liberal, including the government, and everyone makes a fuss about something or nothing.

[OddBeMe]

So you think gays shouldn’t be able to have parades or express themselves?

[Daniela1982]

If they are wanting to live their lives why would they have the need to advertise their life style? Do you see straights having straight pride parades and proclaiming to the world that they are straight? So if gays just want to live their lives and not call attention to themselves like they claim, then why do they need a parade, where from pics I have seen, half of them are practically nude?

[Gal67]

No, they should not have parades. Why do they do it? So they can flaunt their degeneracy in front of small children? Keep that crap behind closed doors!

[OddBeMe]

@Gal67 @daniela1982 If you want a straight parade do it. No one’s stopping you. Don’t get mad that so many gays are happy. And there’s no degeneracy in homosexuality. It’s natural and common throughout the animal kingdom.

[Gal67]

Well, first of all, no, it's not "natural and common throughout the animal kingdom", but even if it were, so what? What does that have to do with anything? Are you seriously suggesting that just because something is natural that it is therefore good for us? Cancer, old age and death are also natural. What's your point here?

[OddBeMe]

@Gal67 No I’m saying it’s not bad. It simply is. Convince me homos are bad and I’ll agree. But 15% of the animal kingdom will still be observed to have homosexual tendencies.

[Daniela1982]

@oddbeme It's also common in the natural animal world to kill others for your dinner. It's kill or be killed. With your perspective we should all be cannibals. God calls it an abomination and his say so is who I answer to as he is the only one who counts in the end. It's fine that everyone has their own views. Straights don't need parades. Too bad gays feel that they do.

[Gal67]

Okay. Again, so what? Why should we care so much about what happens in the animal kingdom? I don't believe we should base our lives, our society, upon their behaviour, because they don't exactly set good examples for us.

[OddBeMe]

You guys zig and zag but still miss the actual issue. No ones forcing anything down your throat. You simply don’t like gays. And that’s fine. You guys clearly said multiple times it’s unnatural. Now we’re talking cannibalism? You are desperately skirting the issue now. Just say you don’t like gays. That’d be a better argument than you’re putting up.

[Juxtapose]

As a bisexual man I am just going to say that gay people's behavior is super cringy and they need to stop these parades where they show kids their asses in assless chaps and gimp suits. It gets to a point where people are surprised I am bisexual because I am not openly a degenerate.

[Daniela1982]

@Juxtapose See, it can be easily done. No showmanship needed.

[Juxtapose]

Yeah @daniela1982 I have rarely felt like I cannot express myself like a straight person can. If anything people seem kind of afraid to say anything if I mention my bisexuality because of political correctness.

[Juxtapose]

Although I will say that in the Bible belt things will be very bad for minorities lol.

[OddBeMe]

@daniela1982 So you’re against showmanship for everybody? Or just gays? @juxtapose Not sure you’re the arbiter of lgbt pride…but just because you’re more conservative doesn’t mean they can’t be “showy”

[Juxtapose]

Well there are tons of individuals in the community claiming to be representatives so I have to make my voice heard too or they will drown me out. Speaking of which, here is a full gay dude saying his piece:

"I’ve written in these pages in the past about the way this manifests itself during Pride Month every June. As I wrote then, “At almost any Pride event, you’ll find scantily-clad marchers, rainbow-themed sex toys, and profane posters … the hypersexualization of the Pride movement is so extreme that it’s reinforcing the biases some Americans still have against gay people.”

www.google.com/.../dcs-degenerate-leather-weekend-annihilates-gay-progress%3f_amp=true

[OddBeMe]

@Juxtapose Funny we never hear that shit about straight parades or halftime shows. How much skin is shown by cheerleaders yet we’re all bitching about the gays….

[Juxtapose]

I think if straight people wore gimp suits and assless chaps in parades then yeah, get rid of those. But TV is not public, you can just switch the channel. For the record I am a sex positive person but if we are going to live in a society where I cannot personally walk around in assless chaps I don't want anyone to do so either regardless if it's part of some stupid parade or not. And how corny is it to be proud of your sexuality? Straight and gay pride is so stupid and primitive.

[OddBeMe]

@Juxtapose wait so it’s ok on tv but parades you draw the line?

[Juxtapose]

TV is not encompassed in public decency laws. You can switch the channel. But public nudity? No, no exceptions for pride parades. It is either allowed for everybody or not.

[OddBeMe]

@Juxtapose so the next Miley concert should be banned for public nudity?

[Juxtapose]

Concerts are typically held at private venues you have to pay to get into. A pride parade happens without you intending to see it or pay for it.

[OddBeMe]

@Juxtapose lots are held openly. And pride parades are scheduled In advance. Seems like a double standard your laying on gays but not on half naked ladies. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with half naked ladies. And I’m ok with assless chapped men. We need to be less puritanical in this country.

[Juxtapose]

I just want consistency in public nudity laws, double standards disgust me. I also find pride in immutable characteristics to be asinine and it should not be encouraged by society. Who we are isn't who we mate with or what our skin tone is.

[OddBeMe]

@Juxtapose again we’re agreed. And I think we’re arguing over little things. But I think pride parades featuring assless chaps are well scheduled in advance with the city and almost arranged like a festival. Also where can I get a pair of assless chaps?

[888theGreat]

Mostly, I would say when Gays had parades and were trying to pick up young males along the way. I just think liberals are Godless pieces of crap that want socialism.
