    I wouldn't call either one of these things censorship. Did you forget the point?

    ok, so why did you call it censorship? guess we can move on then....

    you said "Lefties banned creation theory. I wouldn't call that censuring."

    you’ve already admitted you approve of censorship. Your own words show you support censorship as long as it is something YOU approve to be censored. You are what you hate.

    I wouldnt consider limitations on what is presented in schools to children as censorship.

    I agree. This is a form of censorship.

    I guess this is another example of "whose ox is being gored?" coming into play.

    Using racial epithets is poor taste and offensive to many, but free speech is free speech.

    As a white guy from Florida, being called a cracker doesn't offend me in the least. It provides insight into where the speaker's head is....

    I didn't even know there were political streamers on there. I used to watch various retro gaming and speedrunning streams. Enjoyed the community and interaction with some of the streamers as well as the content itself precisely because it wasn't a million morons flooding the chat (unless it was something like a Games Done Quick marathon) and it wasn't otherwise "brain-melting." Chess sounds like a safe option too xD

    CRT is objectively racist. And it has no place in our schools teaching our children racism. Its disgusting and the rational portion of our society is standing against it and winning.

    Although most white people don’t care about the C word that doesn’t mean it’s ok to say. This sets a precedent that it’s ok to use racial slurs against whites but not against blacks
    It’s either ok to use any racial slur or not OK at all!
    Different rights for different races is a slippery slope.

    Propaganda FORCED on a CAPTIVE audience at taxpayer expense is not free speech. Free speech has always involved free agents choosing to listen to a speaker. A child forced into a classroom is not a free agent. The teachers are providing a product that the taxpayers pay for. The taxpayers of the community therefor must have ultimate control of what the product the teachers produce. If the teacher's product includes CRC, marxism or child grooming/sexualization materials.... the taxpayers have the duty of getting that teacher fired.

    The word "Cracker" does NOT trigger the visceral emotion of the N-Word...

    And yet it is a racial slur and therefore they have banned it as a violation of their terms of service.

    I’m aware
    That was acknowledged in my post
    That doesn’t make it OK.
    A slap in the face doesn’t cause as much pain as a well placed right hook, that doesn’t mean it’s ok to go around slapping people.

    If you say Merry Christmas to me, I’ll say the same back.
    Same goes for Hanukkah and holidays to.

    I’m go with the flow like that.

    Where I live, nobody would intentionally say Merry Christmas to a Jewish person. I live a few miles from Boca. They are all the rage, here. Not one of my Jewish friends gets offended by Christmas greetings, though.

    Probably not many of those here in DeSoto, this time of year we have a lot of snowbirds and Canucks to come down from up North other than that it tends to be migrant fruit pickers and native white folks and of course black folks.

    I love going fishing at Boca grande placida and Mannasota key when I can it's a good 50 mi ride one way

    How do you tell when someone is jewish if you don't already know?
    I mean, dude walks up in full hassidic jew garb that's one thing, or like talking about Hanukah or something, fine. But without prior knowledge you wouldn't look at Larry David or Jerry Seinfeld and say "happy Hanukah". So how do you know?

    This is why I just say "Happy Festivus" and if anyone complains about it, I thank them for understanding the meaning of Festivus and airing their grievances.

    Well, you can’t always tell, but since I’ve lived over here on the Southeast coast, I’ve had a lot of eyes on experience. It’s quite often very obvious. About 17% of the population here is Jewish.

    I never got down that way when I lived in St Pete. Boca Raton is NY South in the winter. The Jewish delis are top notch.

    Oh okay you're on the East Coast, when you said Boca I thought you meant Boca grande.

    Southwest coast has a lot of nice places to see, Sanibel Island and Captiva probably being the most well known. Mattlachey is a quaint fishing village.

    Here is a random picture from a nice park on manasota key. IMG_20210817_120205.jpg
