After three years, still telling Putin to F off. Most do the rest of the civilized world stands with Ukraine.

The problem with you and people like you is that you yearn to live in the time Atticus lived in so you would have a noble cause to attach yourself to. Don't be comparing yourself to an idolized fictional character. You have no such convictions or courage. You are a useful idiot.Bob Juch wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 6:38 pmIn To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch says, "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what."
You live in Atlanta. You must see racism every day.

The world of racism that Finch lived in is long gone. I, and most rational people, live in a world where the color of a person's skin doesn't mean a damn thing. The people that complain of racism today are exactly the ones who won't let it go, either for the reason I described above or because they profit from it.
Pointing fingers and yelling 'racism' ain't gonna work for you anymore. The majority of Americans see you for what you are.
No. I actually don't. I only hear about it from those like you who want to virtue signal and from those who profit from it monetarily or politically. Not from anyone I actually encounter in real life. Whatever their skin color is. Those of us who are "white" must be failing at it. You are horribly misinformed.Bob Juch wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 7:39 pmYou live in Atlanta. You must see racism every day.

Just because there are fewer lynchings doesn't mean there's no racism.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 8:28 pmNo. I actually don't.

Who said there was no racism? Racism of your kind, openly supported by the democrat party, has increased exponentially in the past 20 years or so. Obama created and energized the type of racism that is rampant these days.

Are you blaming the victims? You do know that Trump's anti-DEI attacks are just racism. Right?flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 05, 2025 2:42 pmWho said there was no racism?

DEI is racism (and communism) in its purest form. The epitome of judging people by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character.Bob Juch wrote: ↑Wed Mar 05, 2025 7:18 pmAre you blaming the victims?

DEI is about accepting people, not judging them.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 05, 2025 8:53 pmDEI is racism (and communism) in its purest form.

Fifty years ago, I took the LSAT. It's not a trivia quiz; it's a test of logical thinking. I scored 717 out of 800.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 11:33 amYou think?Bob Juch wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 7:34 amDEI is about accepting people, not judging them.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 05, 2025 8:53 pm

Oh, my bad. You never have shown the ability to do so in the past. Why should anyone expect it now?

Speaking logically, DEI requires one to judge, regardless of one's merit, one's job/promotional placement in some arbitrary hierarchy, based on sex, gender ID, skin color, disability, religious beliefs and whatall.Bob Juch wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 2:42 pmFifty years ago, I took the LSAT.

It's yet another idea that, while it has merit in theory, has been bastardized in practice.Beebs52 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 4:35 pmSpeaking logically, DEI requires one to judge, regardless of one's merit, one's job/promotional placement in some arbitrary hierarchy, based on sex, gender ID, skin color, disability, religious beliefs and whatall.Bob Juch wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 2:42 pmFifty years ago, I took the LSAT.

So you agree it's a bad philosophy.Weyoun wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 7:22 pmI was thinking, is JD Vance a kind of DEI hire?
Those Ivy League schools probably thought they were being so swell, bringing in a hick who served in the military.
He just said that the British have done nothing militarily in decades. That would be news to the British soldiers who served alongside our soldiers in the war against terror. A little offensive, actually. I think they had something like 700 fatalities, and it wasn’t even their fight.
A smart person might have reviewed that stuff before saying things, but I don’t really think he’s that smart. I think he was probably a DEI hire.
