America is turning into such an intolerant, victim-centered, outrage-based, politically correct, that joke isn’t funny, how dare you hold an opposite opinion-centered culture, that a lot of people are afraid to tell you the truth anymore. It’s easier for people to sometimes just keep their heads down and hope that the outrage mob will pick another victim. But, unfortunately, when people become afraid to speak the truth, common sense can die in the darkness because everyone is caught up in saying what we’re “supposed to” believe instead. An America that encourages free speech, discourages censorship and believes in a free exchange of ideas will ALWAYS be superior to the ugly, backward “safe space” of a culture that so many people are trying to create today.
1) All lives matter.
2) People wearing MAGA hats are risking far more to advance free speech and tolerance than most college professors do today.
3) Racism still exists, but it isn’t a serious impediment to anyone’s success in America like it used to be several decades ago.
4) Women make less money than men because they prefer less stressful work and take much more time off to raise kids.
5) You can’t be a good American if you don’t speak English.
6) The false accusations, the demonization of men, and the poisoning of relations between the sexes encouraged by the #MeToo movement have done more harm than the good done by the relatively tiny number of sexual abusers that were exposed because of it.
7) Even Nazis shouldn’t be censored or punched for their beliefs.
8) Allowing gay scoutmasters to take teen scouts into the woods will obviously lead to more sexual abuse of scouts.
9) Any attempt for the government to confiscate all firearms would signal an end to our Republic and should be resisted at all costs, including violently if necessary.
10) If we are going to force the police to deal with the most mentally ill, dangerous, and violent people in our country on a daily basis, some people are going to deservedly be killed and there are also going to be some mistakes made. That is unavoidable and the people pretending otherwise are being unrealistic.
11) No one who immigrates to the United States should be eligible for any kind of welfare program.
12) It shouldn’t be considered ethical for psychologists to go along with the false idea that you can change genders and it shouldn’t be legal for doctors to do surgery or give hormones to a mentally ill person trying to become the other sex.
13) Most adults that are rich or poor deserve to be.
14) Just because a white person criticizes or gets into a conflict with a minority doesn’t mean it has anything to do with race. In fact, the vast majority of the time it doesn’t.
15) Drag queens are deviants and shouldn’t be allowed near children, much less allowed to be part of story times for kids.
16) There are only two genders.
17) If America were oppressive for minorities, they’d be leaving the country, not coming here in droves.
18) There isn’t enough proof that we’re experiencing global warming and that man is responsible for it to make radical changes designed to “fix it.”
19) 99 times out of a 100, a single mom can’t even come close to raising a child as well as a mother and father can.
20) It is okay to be white just like it’s okay to be every other race.
21) Anyone that brings their child with them as they break the law by crossing into America illegally is a bad parent and at fault, if they are separated from their child.
22) Diversity isn’t a strength that makes us better, it’s a weakness that takes many special steps (emphasis on assimilation, patriotism, colorblindness, etc.) to overcome.
23) The more mass shootings there are, the more of a reason there is for law-abiding people to arm themselves, not for them to disarm.
24) The proper remedy for speech isn’t censorship, it’s more speech.
25) Slavery was a universal phenomenon and Americans should be prouder that we, along with Great Britain, did the most of any nations in history to end the practice than ashamed that our nation had slaves, just like everybody else.

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never harm me. Lighten up Francis.
Then it's time to educate them or move.
Even in our local VA Hospital in small town rural Oregon, they insist on hiring a non veteran woman to boss the veteran workers. My son works in the kitchen and his work life is tormented by this woman boss. There was an incident that happened a while back to his supervisor boss, right under this non veteran woman boss and he has quit and lodged a complaint and it is being taken serious this time.
When my son asked if he could apply for that supervisor job, she told him, "the job is only for a woman and my friend, Mary, will be getting that job."
I disagree with #19. There are fathers so toxic that virtually any other situation would be an improvement over him being around. If every one you know is better than that, I’m happy for you, but it does suggest you don’t get around much.
Gender is a grammatical construct, not a social-cultural-psychological construct.
English only has three genders:
1. masculine
2. feminine
3. neuter
Choose one.
That was true, until about 25 years ago, when it started to become redefined. Today, it’s in dictionaries as a social-cultural-psychological construct. All that means is that it is all in the mind.
The real problem comes from the conflation of “sex” and “gender”. That makes rational discussion of the related topics impossible. If you force “them” to adhere to the (current) definitions; then, you can get somewhere. If “they” say: “there are 27 genders” — simply point out that there are only two sexes.
With apologies to Proverbs...
Likewise; in the electrical world, there are only plugs and sockets.
Different plug types, but they only fit the correct MATING connectors.
Well; considering who their FATHER was...
...they just piss me off!
“Kill a commie for mommy” used to be a common phrase.
I agree. The Chinese system looks more like fascism
You mean "gender" and "sex"?
I guess you didn't study Latin. Or French, or Spanish, or German, or Italian, or pretty much any language other than English ...
Yep, “Kill a Commie for your Mommy” is in my Tagline Rotation.
16) “There are only two genders.”
I agree with the rest but this one is wrong! There are in fact only two SEXES, male and female. There are in fact THREE genders, masculine, feminine and neuter but the word gender properly applies ONLY to PRONOUNS! Living, breathing persons are of the male or female SEX, not one of any number of genders.
I am 75 and was taught in grade school NEVER to use the word gender to apply to a person the term gender, which was masculine, feminine or neuter, was understood to apply only to pronouns and anything to the contrary would bring you a low grade and a serious reprimand from the teacher.
“It’s funny that the author wrote this, considering the bad writing and horrible grammar within the article.”
I added the first verb you left out, fixed the issues of the second imprecise verb and its incorrect tense, rearranged the order of your complaints, took out unneeded words bloating your post, and trimmed it into one sentence. Something about glass houses comes to mind.
Good for you Pubbie. Now. Go to work on the article itself.
Re-write that into something readable.
