Then the query as to why the advert is woke isn't aimed at you...

The thread is in the side bar same as this one yet you chose to post in here ..I deduce from that you don't particularly care about a womans body found in the boot of a car ...is that a fair assumption?

Difference was, he said his jewelry was cr**p. :joker:

So in your world, members of this forum have to say something about every piece of news, otherwise they don't care about it, is that what you're saying?

what I am saying is if you cared about black and brown people as much as you claim you would be asking questions about why the police let her down so badly not :dance: because you think you have completed some gotcha about the word woke ...in essence you have shown yourself to care more about getting one over on forum members than members of a community you claim to support ...

I think you may need to log off if you're equating the amount of care someone actually gives to specific tragedies to how much they discuss it on an internet forum. What a bizarre assessment of the situation.

Maybe in your friendship circles but not in mine. We all live in our own echo chamber, I guess.

Maybe not by you. But I have had the question asked of me and asked really rudely. You've said how you're still waiting for an answer and the silence is deafening. I suggested it was the press and social media who first described the ad as woke, you said you don't read them. Maybe you should say who you're expecting to answer you. Or maybe just stop flogging a dead horse?

Maybe you need to log off until you can discuss stuff like a grown up?

Yeah, look at the publicity it got him... Not all publicity is good. Mind you, he was right lol...

If someone (not you) is going to parrot what the press and media say without expanding on their actual thoughts then I think it's only fair to ask them to expand what they mean. They are not obliged to answer, but it's not unreasonable to ask.

The thing is, if you're (not you) going to use words, at least know why you're using them. If you can't explain the definition, which many people who use the term woke can't, then stop using it. And if you don't want to stop, then don't cry when people take you to task.

How do I argue maturely with someone who evidently seems to have the brain capacity of a child?

The suggestion that lack of comment on a specific tragedy towards a specific race on a specific thread on a specific Big Brother forum is racist, misogynistic and shows lack or care is quite the reach and doesn't particularly deserve to be taken seriously or combated with mature debate.

You think you're "taking people to task" on some kind of crusade? Not sure how this section of the forum ever got by without you. Putting you on ignore now so I won't see your posts or be notified when you quote me. Then I can get back to posting with people who know how to debate, whether or not we agree. Bye....

It was just a turn of phrase, Livia.
