How nice that you've decided that for the entire world.

reply

I didn't decide that. Logical, fair minded people everywhere would come to that conclusion.

Rubbish. Telling a woman she's a c*nt is the absolute worst thing you could call her. Likening an African American, even one who's only 46%, is only the second worst thing you could say. It's therefore logical that c*nt is worse to any fair-minded person who equally values African Americans and women in general.

reply

No, c*** not the worst thing you could call a woman. Racial insults are objectively worse. There's a long history of harmful stereotypes that Rosanne's tweet drew on.

reply

For one woman to call out another woman and use the c-word, yes, it's vulgar, but Bee is pissed off a woman who has influence in Trump world doesn't care to speak up concerning tearing families apart. If a guy said it, I wouldn't defend it whatsoever, but if a gal thinks it's fair, I'm not going to condemn her.
Hey, I'll admit if Roseanne said something similar, I might comment harshly, but at least Bee is standing up for something.
And I like the use of "feckless," I don't see that very often unless it's the cliche "feckless youth."
Means being ineffectual, not being able to influence situations.

reply

Bee isn't standing up for anything, she an attention whore plain and simple. She's has no principles, she has no morals, she's too retarded to have any.

But loony libertines who can't figure out what bathroom to use or how the sex organs line up insist that humans sprang from an extinct form of ape (rolling my eyes), so how exactly is that offensive?

reply

Natural selection and vast amounts of time are how humans sprang from an extinct primate.

reply

The religious right can't seem to get their heads round the idea that there are already laws stating you shouldn't fiddle with anyone in public bathrooms so the laws against transgendered people and bathrooms is just more government red tape.

At least be honest about that and also a statement that police aren't enforcing the laws already on the books and you don't care about making them do so.

reply

Honest question Wuchak; do you really not understand why referring to an African American as an ape is offensive? Are you truly not aware of the long sad history of racists in our country referring to African Americans as monkeys? To be clear I'm flat out asking if you are really as clueless as you're claiming to be.

reply

so can I call Michelle O a cunt? But cant call her an ape? OK

reply

Hillary Clinton certainly is a cunt in every sense of the word. I wish she and her fucked up family would just go away. She isn't even close to having a normal, healthy relationship with her husband, maybe if she were better in bed she'd have a happier marriage.

Not nearly in the same ballpark, and not nearly in the same
way. Especially not the way the British use it, and Americans
watch and love British humor. Bill Maher made some funny
points about it last night on his show.

I can remember going back to the 70's Monty Python using
it secretly when they had a man who .. going by memory so
I might be a bit off ... replaced all his "c" sounds with a "b",
and then referred to the guy he was conversing or arguing
with as a "silly bunt"

Sally Field's comment was dead on.

And through it all I just wonder how did this idiot President
get forced on the country and as his "class" just keeps getting
richer and richer by the trillions, how is this ever going to get
reversed?
