It's still completely stupid Poli. It's virtue signaling for no reason whatsoever. Nobody in this thread is praciticing slavery, nobody is considering taking up slavery. It's nothing more than a boring and useless performance on your part.
Well, thank you for so completely denouncing people who don't exist in this thread. It really moves things along and makes a huge difference in our discourse here.
Without question.
That is one hell of a thing for an American to type. Slavery is conditionally legal in your country and you don't do jack shit about it. But fine, if you don't want to talk about slavery, you shouldn't lightly introduce it as an Orwellian metaphor or whatever either. Slavery is a serious issue, not a rhetorical gloss to throw in for meaningless flavor or cheap, race-preferential humor. Making it part of your argument makes it fair to discuss in my view.
I'm not obliged to find Republican "jokes" funny. In fact, they rarely are. You ever see a Trumper trying to do stand-up?
Unwise.
I'd be inclined to let parking enforcement handle it.
It is not. It is most certainly not.
You don't seem to be getting the point here. We could institute a virtue inquisition and go on like this for months, demanding that everyone voice their condemnation of heresy and their adulation for dogma.
1) my country is your country unless you've recently emigrated and revoked your citizenship
I didn't. Jesus, you really didn't get the exchange! Like, you literally didn't understand it.
"Docking procedure commencing in 3... 2... 1... "
That's not the next line, please consult your script.
Very true. We are indeed countrymen.
That which you are apparently ignorant about, but about which I've gone to the capitol itself and certainly logged in the phone hours campaigning to end: the exception clause. With some success, I might add. I was involved one way or another with the campaigns in Utah, Alabama, Oregon, Tennessee, and Vermont, and I'm proud of that.
No, we have not. We have seen that people who have read Orwell get annoyed when people who should read Orwell lightly quote Orwell passages that were not, in fact, intended as thought-terminating cliches but diagnoses of the very authoritarian mindset that tswizzle himself routinely espouses, especially where the president is concerned. Jimmy's assessment was entirely correct.
Alternatively, perhaps you could consider attempting to be just a teensy bit less egotistical? Slavery isn't legal in the US to the best of my knowledge.
Then why did you bring them up? If you bring up cock fights, I'm going to talk about cock fights. Even if you insist that it was just a joke or a metaphor or irony or an illustrative point or whatever bullshit conservatives vomit out when they realize they are in over their head. Do you oppose cockfighting?
I'm more inclined to think that you're trying to cover your ass instead of just admitting that you missed the reference. Because you dragging us all through a torquemada montage about how Tswizzle hasn't denounced slavery certainly isn't some high-brow and subtle commentary on Orwell being "misused" here.
You didn't ask a "followup question", you dragged us all through a bunch of completely irrelevant and unnecessary stuff about reparations. You just keep trying to force the discussion to be about slave rebellions and similar, and evenually end up calling Tswizzle out for not condemning slavery.
