Yes. We would love to it work like that. Except in this day and age the far-left (which I believe this lady fits into) is spilling out more and more into the regular left circles, case in point are all of the SJW movements on the college campuses, etc. But THIS discussion is probably better suited for another topic/thread.

So, do you show the same disdain for the far right, which has taken over the republican party?

Btw, what is SJW? (I'm looking that up after I post)

Maybe he just wanted to have his fair shot of giving her the finger as well, since the woman stopped in front of this mans home for no reason other than to try to intimidate him or the family.

Anti-Vaxxing, doesn't equate to censorship, violence when you disagree, and other such behavior that the far-left is doing. From my POV its apples to oranges.

Flipping a stranger off is a high risk move....I learned that jogging in San Diego shortly after being discharged from the Navy....guy in a Pinto almost ran over me at a stop light when I had the right of way...I flipped him off and he stopped his car, got out and turned out he was a drill sgt from Camp Pendelton boot camp with a baseball bat.....I ran a 3 minute mile that day...never flipped anybody off in seriousness again....but my New York friends say it's like going for a cup of coffee in the Big Apple....you can flip off a cop there they say

An amusing riposte, to be sure, but not accurate in my perhaps biased opinion.

I am a liberal, and some liberals are (deeply? overly?) concerned about intolerance. I'm not one of them, I don't think.

Not that I think intolerance is a good thing, but it's not something I focus on. I tend to make arguments like this one instead.

Irrelevant to the issue being brought up in the article.

What was the issue? Guy with a Trump sign doesn't like people yelling at him?

The article is about the aggressive and hostile actions people are taking. Not just simply being in disagreement.

Of course I know you live in BarfoLand so I expect you to not understand.

You don't get it and that is fine. Right wingers don't care that you have a different opinion, they just want to tell you what to do anyway. Lefties don't want you to be allowed to think something they don't like in the first place.

it's not about being allowed to think, it's about forcing your belief on others and those peoples rights.

Like calling someone ze or zhe? Or they or wtf they want?

I don't care what they call themselves, I really don't but if you haven't seen the YouTube videos of the college kids freaking out over it I don't know what to tell you.

I haven't seen the youtube videos. Are they worse than the S2 posters freaking out over the youtube videos?

Not caring about a very VERY small group of college kids freaking out on youtube, does not mean you dont' give a shit about college kids or the "future" of our country.

But if you're concerned about the "future", Im hoping you aren't voting for the guy who wants to use "clean coal" and pretty much has no idea how to be a president or run a decent business.

The issue was displayed in the video. If you can't figure out that is not my problem.

Very small? Are you serious?

"What’s more, according to the City, “refusal to use a transgender employee’s preferred name, pronoun, or title may constitute unlawful gender-based harassment."

So uh, while you think it's a funny small problem on college campuses, it's actually a huge fucking problem that has huge implications.
 
I find Liberals to be extremely aggressive towards people they disagree with, because they think that they are morally in the right.

You support Trump? You're a bad person, so fuck you. And this is a perfect example of people perceiving that these folks support Trump, so they are completely validated in their aggressive behaviors towards them.

You're making sweeping generalizations against people who you claim make generalizations....and since youre using "liberal" as a pejorative, and it is used constantly as a pejorative by a lot of people, you're kind of coming off as a hypocrite.

btw, pejorative means disapproval @HCP
 
Frankly, I would never put any kind of Republican propaganda in my front yard or on my car, and I damn sure wouldn't put anything pro Trump on my property. You can almost guarantee someone will fuck your shit up. What does that say about Portland and our liberal majority?

That actually seems pretty fair to me and is something that should apply to all employees. I understand that you want to call a male co-worker Nancy or she but I'm not seeing this as a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM.

I've seen plenty of pro Trump signs in peoples yards all around town. I have rarely heard or seen of any significant issues about it.

Since I identify as neither Liberal nor Conservative, I have the luxury of finding both groups to be repugnant, and hypocritical.

It's actually bullshit, because "gender fluid" transgenders can change on a whim. The whole concept of placating these mentally ill people is garbage.
