New Subforum

[Bg260]

Due to the results of the recent election. I was wondering if we need a new subforum where those of us that lean toward the xenophobic, misogynistic, racist, bully side can congregate?

See the personal note at the bottom of this local Craig's list post.

Who are the haters again?

I believe its already being done by facebook.com

(that is if my 'friends and family' are anything to go by)

Be the voice of reason!

He is basically hanging a sign on the door of his business that says "we don't serve your kind here". Not a sound business practice.

Also, the Optiplex 780 shipped with XP.
He has several for sale.

Good for him. If he can afford not to take money from Nazis, more power to him.

 

[Bg260]

Sorry, I forgot the Nazi part.

 

[Bg260]

So, we only fight for equality when our own standards are applied?

 

[Gmash]

What right is it exactly that you're fighting for? The right to be a hateful bigot seems to be firmly entrenched, seeing that you've managed to install your dictator into the White House. (with help from a certain Russian dictator)

 

[jumpingjoness73]

Yes it's a nice idea.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

No. It's still politics and current affairs. Life goes on

 

[Bg260]

My point has been made.
In this country the freedom of speech is a pillar. It allows us the opportunity to freely share our opinions.
It does not, however, protect us from the court of public opinion.

Ok.. back to the original link in the first post... I can understand why he's written it, but the guy selling the Optiplex, he's being a twonk*

There is a time and a place to Punch a Nazi, and it isn't in a craigslist add, or even when someone is being interviewed in the street. I'm not sure, where the right time and place is to punch a Nazi is (although i'm convinced there must be one) And I've given this a lot more thought that i would have in 2015.



*I'm assuming Twonk isn't against forum rules...

 

[Bg260]

twonk

I'm not exactly familiar with the term but a Google search proved fruitful. Thank you for seeing the forest for the trees.

I'd have thought that if he really wanted to show Trump supporters what he thinks of them then taking their money and lumbering them with a collossally outdated and underspecced computer would express this perfectly. I just don't understand some people...

 

[Bg260]

Couldn't have said it better.

But the under-specced XP boxes can quite happily run Linux(with XFCE or LXDE desktops) faster than they ever did XP.
(and how this is relevant - discuss)

not sure if i understand..
you want a sub-forum for haters and racist and despicables?

if so.. NO...
a thread is good!
