It's hard not to make it personal when I take nearly everything Trump has done, as a direct insult/attack (on not just me as a minority, but as an American) and see others applauding. Very hard indeed 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I think its going to become more and more accepted of a viewpoint now. This is a major win for that side. And it shouldn't be views that way, but it will be.

I've been a social worker ever since I graduated college in 2004 and have dedicated my life towards helping disadvantaged minorities. I am entitled to my opinions. Sorry if they upset you. Don't ever insult me unless you want to step to me in person. If you have a problem with me send me a private message and we can settle it. I'll give you my phone number and you can call me up and we'll have a discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet you apparently remain ignorant as hell about what they face, which is the reason for the protest in the first place. Sad.

As a social worker, you know about how to accelerate and decelerate conflict. You need to bring some of those skills to bear. I haven't followed the entire chain of communication and don't know if you have been wronged or how badly, but... Use your words people or if you can't use your words... take a deep breath and count to ten. That probably goes for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that, tells anyone with an average education what he truly thinks about America 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting social phenomenon in the respect that some seem to be rooting for the President to lie. They relish the impact and frustration it seems to bring about in their perceived opponents in the media and in the public. They are more interested in sowing discord and winning the message wars then doing public good.--- You can see this even more when you consider that many don't seem to care that none (almost none) of the Trump agenda has progressed. They still fully back him because he is tearing apart the Obama legacy and maintaining a steady barrage of fire on liberals, minorities, immigrants, and the media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about fighting c'mon. When he starts attacking my character that's when I have a problem. I am of the opinion that if someone wants to try to debase someone else they should be willing to say it to their face. Don't start talking about my family or like you know me.

Burgold Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 On the Goodell directive, part of me thinks it's a small deal, but a larger part is warning this is a very dark and dangerous precedent. When a President succeeds in using the bully pulpit to silence political expression America loses. It doesn't really matter where you stand on kneeling or not kneeling. Our liberties make America. They should be cherished and celebrated, fought for, and respected. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. He is the defender of the Constitution. That's what he swore and oath to do. That means he must serve the ideals and directives of the Constitution. Those who don't understand that or are letting themselves get distracted into not seeing this most important part of it are failing America. You can disagree with the protesters. You can disagree with how the protesters protest. The President shouldn't. The President should stand above the noise and only intervene if laws are broken or violence is threatened/comes to bare. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not that President and he never will be. He wasnt even elected to be. All things come to an end. Take pride in the fact that you get to watch the end of the greatest nation in the history of man so far. Cause everything you are talking about is over. He will not be the last and he probably wont even be the worst. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
