OT Got hassled for using the word Sportsmanship

Rashneeshpruam

A prime example of what you get when you let all comers vote without checking.

 

[Hoopguru]

Not if it is said sarcastically

I said no ma'm try to be respectful and kids were around us too.
Im not are what her political preference is but the dude she was with, 50's had green, red & blue hair?

I assumed, knowing hoopguru, that it wasn't.

That's pretty weird right there. I wonder if she was mentally handicapped. My brother was mentally ill and got beat up all too often for saying the wrong thing.

Hillary Clinton is a 'neoliberal'?

The Guardian and Salon and others posit so....is that a pejorative now? Do you think she isn't? Similar to referring to Ocasio-Cortez as a "democratic socialist"--the words kind of mean what she says, whether or not people like them.

I once flew on the same airplane as the mayor of Rashneeshpuram. I didn't know who he was but I couldn't help but notice all the red clothing which included a red hat, red shoes, red socks, everything red. I thought to myself "Only in America". When I got off the plane my buddy picked me up to take me home and said to me "Did you see the mayor of Rashneeshpruam? He was on the plane with you." Immediately I knew who he was talking about.

Ive been at their compound several times as a generator/transfer vendor. Always had to go through three check point on the way inside.
They always treated us OK but were very suspicious. Their Hotel was also a casino of sorts and remember once when they all went outside to bow as the Baagwan cam by in his RR.

 

[MarAzul]

I'm not sure you're qualified to tell me what I'm reminded of when stories like this get posted.

Oh sure he is Brian! He is very good at inferring things that never would have occurred to you.

No Im sure she wasn't. I could tell she was passionate about what she was saying and communicated clearly.
My impression was she was an extreme women's libber. But I'm not sure if she was wearing a bra or not? lol

I literally had never heard of that until I just looked it up. Wow.

Fair enough

I am not trying to tell him what he is re

I didn't infer anything. I was merely pointing out his post was an attack on liberals. A petty meme complete with the newest alt right symbol.

That changes everything, she is obviously a conservative if she was hanging with GI Joe.

Or maybe her husband is off sailing around on his boat and she is finally free to do what she wants?

The picture you posted is clearly mocking that lady. Which there is nothing wrong with that.

But...

through humor, point out my incredulity that, of all the shit that's happened on earth in her 73 years on it, Donald Trump's Presidency

I can think of many reasons why someone didn't protest the things pointed out in that picture and that you agree with.

Maybe she worked and raised her children.

Maybe she was in a career or occupation like the military that wouldn't have approved of her protesting.

Or maybe she isn't a liberal, there are conservatives that don't like Trump.

Again, there are many reasons why this lady hasn't protested until now. To make or spread mocking assumptions only helps to destroy constructive discourse.

I can think of plenty of reasons besides race as to why the white woman was harassing the black guy entering the luxury apartment building.

Hardly anyone is giving her the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think it is necessarily pejorative, but I'm also not sure it's accurate.

Similar to referring to Ocasio-Cortez as a "democratic socialist"--the words kind of mean what she says, whether or not people like them.

The words mean what she says? I guess I'm ok with her being elected, but I'm not sure she should be the arbiter on how the English language works. But probably I'm misunderstanding what you meant there.

I'd say O-C is closer to being a democratic socialist than Clinton is to being a neoliberal.

[MarAzul]

Boy, that dress blows up easy.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

This has nothing to do with the OP. This is an attempt to mock liberals.

Yeah, the types that are the polar opposite of the Hannity watching so called "conservatives"

You know....morons.

Hillary?!?

Mueller?!?

This is nothing but a dem conspiracy! :MARIS61:

That works.

 

[Hoopguru]

Problem is the guy she was with was wearing a skirt and his T-shirt said something like atheist rule?

 

[Propagandist]

She can protest whatever she wants to in a legal manner, and I didn't do anything except post a picture. Bully for her. Don't pin ulterior motive on me.

I tried (apparently unsuccessfully) to, through humor, point out my incredulity that, of all the shit that's happened on earth in her 73 years on it, Donald Trump's Presidency (not even a specific issue of it, just that he is President) is the first thing she's felt strongly enough to protest--and how the concept of "Sportsship" and "ma'am being bad" reminded me of it.

If you understand her position (or the OP's) with it we disagree, but whatever, man.

You're a thin-veil-guy I've realized for quite a while. Keep at it.

My grandson plays classic soccer for Eastside Timbers and I was at his game last night and had a lady approx? 40 heard me say the teams exercised great sportsmanship after the game, which impressed me.
Well, she said that word doesn't work anymore in our society it sportship. I said no mam that word is perfectly ok for me to use Im sorry if it offends you but don't let it worry you it,s not dangerous. She then said don't use mam, called me an asshole and walked off. wow

Again, those that preach tolerance are the least tolerant OF ALL.

Wow, this is so ridiculous it took me a good minute to even figure out what she was upset about... Ohhhh, the word has "man" in it...

Just an FYI so that you can avoid these confrontations in the future:

We can no longer use the word human, it must be "hu". And don't get me started on romanticism, maneuver, demand, permanent, management, performance... etc.

But lastly, and this is important, we can no longer say woman, it must simply be "wo".

I bet it was a utilikilt.

[Chris Craig]

All said, I really din't understand the woman's problem with sportsmanship, its a gender neutral word. It includes both men and women

Utilikilt? Does it come with a utility belt?

Just tell them to STFU and stop being stupid.

Well, the word clearly implies that the characteristics encompassed in that phrase are inherently exhibited by males who play sports, and completely disregards the likelihood of females who play in a sporting way to exhibit those same characteristics. Is a polite female athlete a good "sportsman"? I submit that she is NOT!!
