Yes, indeed. Now go find a mirror for verification. But ... hard to do, given the situation, isn't it?

White privilege exists however you define it. If you redefine it to mean "pumpkin" you're not talking about white privilege anymore.

There is generally less racism against white people overall in this world and that generally gives white people comparatively more advantages and less disadvantages than other races.

So, if there is racism against the white population, then according to what you think, it is not important and should be swept under the carpet.....Just because there is less racism against whites doesn't mean that it is any less important. Jesus wept!!!!

I'm not sure why you think a convo has been shut down....you do keep talking, after all, don't you?  It's simply no longer in the phase in which those who've taken the time to engage with you take you seriously.  

I'm sure that's everyone's fault but your own, ofc.

So, she can call me a troll and I cannot defend myself without one of the "comrades", coming into help. It means to not have a sense of humour. I don't think she has since what I stated about the corset does make people laugh in England. So, I am getting the impression that you can be an atheist here, but if you don't agree with your political stances, then whether your atheist or not, you will always be wrong. I'd prefer to be atheist and be capable of speaking my mind than be a sheep following others.

You know alot of people think that about this place, and then they stick around awhile and realize that politics isn't exactly something you can expect agreement on between any two posters.

I assume my position whether I am right or wrong. I don't need to blame anything on anyone else, I don't have a "victims", mentality, tu vois est-ce que je veux dire.....

You really suck at implication. That's not what I said at all.

You know what guys? I'll have a conversation when it's actually a conversation rather than just myself responding to someone's preconceived responses to promote their own agenda.

A conversation actually involves listening, an agenda doesn't.

I've listened and tried to converse with everyone who's posted in the thread, unfortunately a lot of the time it's resulted in false accusations, insults, close mindedness and an over reaction to one word I used with a slight sense of irony.

On the contrary, all I have seen is someone like Paul who has tried to defend his position against a whole group of people. Not one single experienced user I think has ever defended Pauls position since, you all think alike because you have all been here a great deal longer.
