Quote:How about this - the next time I post a video that says something disparaging against Rebecca Watson, or disagrees with a point she's making at the time, is it because I'm a misogynist and hatefully posting it to spite her and women, or is it because something about the video makes a point I agree with and find valuable?You dont have a history of supporting sexism on this board. If you were supporting the repeal of the womans right to vote, and maybe made a few comments about how women are better at being in the kitchen than out at a job or something, then yes...I would bring up a question of you being sexist.
Quote:You still miss the fucking point. It has been explained but you seem intent on trying to argue something completely different.Is it possible for you to talk to me without cussing on this board? If you dont like a history month, then feel free to just ignore it. I have stayed on topic as much as possible, nor have I cussed or hurled insults at you about it.
Quote:Didn't realise pacific island was a 'race'. Thanks for clearing that up.Its "pacific islander"
Quote:Are you seriously telling me, that you cannot see a problem with having a 'month' for [insert skin colour here].Yes, i seriously dont mind it one bit, and find people complaining about it to be a bit too nit picky for my taste. i have no problem with "communist history month", "capitalist history month", "budhist history month"...anything and everything with education.
Quote:My point, which I won't repeat again,With that kind of attitude I would prefer you not repeating it again either.
Quote:so make sure you actually read and understand it this time
Quote:is that it is UNNECESSARY.Im not sure if it was the cussing, or the suggestions that I wasnt being serious, or that i was blind, or that I was missing the point, or the sarcasm, or suggeting that i cant understand things...but somewhere in that list you FINALLY converted me....I can see it now. Its completely unnecessary.
What other things are unnecessary in education since i have your attention?
Quote:Grouping a bunch of events together and labelling them as [insert skin colour here] history, is fucking ridiculous.If it is ridiculous to you, then by all means feel free not to partake in them.
Quote:The holocaust is as much white history as it is black history or jewish history or fucking jedi history.Yes...many Jedi died back then.
Quote:I don't think that labelling these events after a skin colour is needed. That's the bottom line.wonderful...now please dont repeat it again like you promised. I have it down completely now. thankyou.
