When you steamroll others beliefs, don't expect them to conform to yours

There are very few consequences. Withholding information, being "too busy" to acknowledge someone's existence, in public treating certain people like they are invisible and such works. Political correctness breeds passive-aggressive responses with plausible deniability.

what political correctness?
what passive aggressive responses?
what plausible deniability?

what are factual examples of this happening so much and it being the norm its an issue?
 
Agreed. The fact that you see it as anything unusual just seems odd to me. The opposite would be to act hostilely and rudely. Is that what you used to do?

Otherwise, ignoring and moving on is rather the more civilized thing to do.

When you have expertise, people come to you. I care about efficient; civilized or uncivilized is inconsequential. People seek me out when they are being bothered by a bill collector, get a traffic ticket, get into an auto accident, denied an insurance claim, a crappy tenant or landlord, hate their boss, etc. Dealing with people on an adversarial basis is my wheelhouse. In order not to be accused of practicing law, I just hand people forms and reading material. I walked a female ex-coworker through her job search (she is Asian if it matters). I discovered she was being underpaid by 20K per year. I coached her to go get higher job offer, even if it was one that she didn't like all that much. She then wrote a resignation letter and a second letter approving a pay increase. She pushed both letters in front of her boss. The Director signed the pay increase letter. Problem solved. No #MeToo .

We were talking about how you react in public to people you find offensive:

Withholding information, being "too busy" to acknowledge someone's existence, in public treating certain people like they are invisible and such works. Political correctness breeds passive-aggressive responses with plausible deniability.

The rest of your post is kind of random oddness....unless you think it's more attempts to justify using that Gerson Law..which is not possible as a lifestyle or philosophy IMO.
 
Pinochet did what he had to do stop his country from becoming a Soviet Satellite. Your hyperbole doesn't change that.

Pinochet was a fascist. Hitler used the same excuse to save the Germans from the Soviets. It didn't work out for the Germans.
 
As long as no one is forced against their will and get their fair share of $ agreed upon, who would care?

The standard 40% of the revenue plus an onsite physician.
 
If you're going to defend homosexuals, then don't complain if a guy like me wants to operate a brothel. All sexual preferences are valid, right?

That's an answer to 'who would care?' :roll:
 
I reached a point where I got tired of gay marriage, political correctness, tolerance for abortion, mandated acceptance of all races, mandated acceptance of risk posed by illegal aliens, common citizens being punished for Islamic terrorism every time they get on a plane with invasive searches.

Congratulations cultural Marxists. Do you really think steamrolling people out of their traditional practices will yield something positive? You have managed to steamroll traditional values out of society. Do you think those that used to promote a traditional society will suddenly conform to your cultural Marxism?

Congratulations, feminists, you are well on your way to creating a society no freer than Communist Cuba!

Don't complain when defeated Fundamental Christians decide to live by Gerson's Law. You might force my situational compliance, but you'll never have my respect, nor will you have my compliance behind your back or when the opportunity otherwise presents itself.

Red:
That's all that's required.


Blue:
Who's seeking it?


Pink:
That's your choice to exhibit such, or not.

I don't believe your respect is required, or perhaps even wanted. All that is desired is that you can not impose your beliefs on others.

If you don't like gay marriage, don't marry a man.
If you don't like 'feminism', don't bother to hire women at your company.
If you don't like abortion, don't have one.

If you don't like illegal immigrants, report them instead of hiring them to mow your lawn.

Who can I contact to learn more about this Cultural Marxism thing? I've never seen it, but since it seems to be making all of the right people mad so I'm thinking that I might want to join them.

You do that and you're really lost.

In Brazilian culture, Gérson's Law (Portuguese: Lei de Gérson) is an adage which reflects the way Brazilians behave towards themselves, immortalizing concepts such as jeitinho and malandragem. In short, Gérson's Law is taking advantage of every thing and every one and having no concern for ethics.

That's how I find christians to be in any case.
 
<facepalm>

It was a joke. There is no group like that. It's just the smear of 2018 that the right uses on the left. "socialism" lost it's power for obvious reasons, so CM is the in thing now.
 
I reached a point where I got tired of gay marriage...

Are you saying that only a man and a woman can get married ?

If so why is that.

Can you give me a single, non-religious, reason why two men or two women cannot get married ?

Maybe I walked into this late, but out of sheer curiosity, what does ones personal sexual preference have to do with prostitution?


OM
 
So in your eyes, it's preferred that people with "traditional practices" get to dictate how everyone should live, think, and beleive?

Traditional practices like:

wife beating
boys are just being boys when it comes to things like rape and sexual assault
discrimination based on skin color
discrimination based on things like sexual preferences
which religions are acceptable and which ones are not
women subjugated and oppressed

the good ole days kinda "traditions" like that right?

You traditionally engage in :

wife beating
boys are just being boys when it comes to things like rape and sexual assault
discrimination based on skin color
discrimination based on things like sexual preferences
which religions are acceptable and which ones are not
women subjugated and oppressed

?

Must be nice to have internet in prison.
