The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Saying please and thank you helps the other person feel valued, holding a door for someone is actively helping them, and chewing with your mouth open is unsightly.

What similar rationale even is there for insisting that removing your hat is good manners? The lack of any real connection between manners and bareheadedness (unless the hat itself obstructs the view or expresses values contrary to the norms of whoever is around you) is the problem here. I wouldn’t be shouting out the Nuremberg defense if there was as straight a line there as in the other cases.

(Bold mine)

Bingo lolly.

So, apparently, all hats in Northern Ireland and New Zealand are used to promote hatred? There’s nothing there but red MAGA hats? Because that’s what I meant by the passage you bolded and said “bingo lolly.”

I can only respond to what you say, not to what you meant. The presence of a man wearing a hat - ANY hat - indoors (with some exceptions) is expressing a view contrary to my norms. It doesn’t matter if the hat has a logo. The presence of a hat in those situations is enough.

If a man comes into my home wearing a hat, he will be asked to remove it. If he declines, he will be asked to leave.

Then I guess I’m never going to your home.

Fair enough.
