Ah, you can always tell when someone's run out of a counter argument when they respond to a lengthy post with a one sentence reply. Especially if said sentence is as feeble and juvenile as 'takes one to know one'.
Glad to know I was right. |

Seriously Jack I have no problem with your post I just feel that your approval of the comments expressed in the column were solely based on it's obvious left-wing bias which is in keeping with your own views. It was as you say an opinion-based column not a statement of fact. Last edited by Brillopad; 21-02-2017 at 04:58 AM. |

I think it's just an internet thing from Tumblr.A site i've never been to.From what i've read it was used to describe people who think they deserve a medal for saying they're different.Like calling themselves 'gender fluid' etc to try and look edgy.It's another ridiculous term that should never have made into real life speech like 'check your privilege'.I think these things mainly start making it into the actual conversations in American universities and then get spread back onto places like Youtube and the cycle perpetuates.
I agree it's annoying as ****. Whenever i hear it or read it i always assume it's being used ironically.I really very much doubt that anyone over the age of twenty uses it in real life. |

...where did I say it was a statement of fact? You clearly aren't reading my posts because I've tried to explain to you on several occasions that the piece wasn't an article or a news story but a column that expressed the opinion of the author, which I happened to agree with. I actually said that. Of course I'm going to agree with it, what a futile thing to point out. Next time someone posts an article or column that you agree with I'll be sure to point out for absolutely no reason at all that the only reason you agree with it is because it aligns with your own views. Seriously. What a complete waste of time. |

I can understand why the author wrote this tbf.It's a reactionary piece.A kind of fighting back type thing.You can tell she spends a fair amount of time on the internet by her use of the word 'snowflake'.Nobody(or barely anybody) uses that term off the internet.
I can see why the left are so angry atm.They all get tarred with the same brush as the far left,The real looney left.Not every and infact most left leaning people are like that at all.Most are sensible and moderate in their opinions just as most on the right. It's abit like people on the right being branded as far right and racist etc when that is a very small minority.People on both sides are being lumped in with the extreme ends of those sides. It has kind of got out of hand. It's like tit for tat from both sides.I think the whole left/right thing is outdated now anyway.Most people i think are somewhere in the middle. |

Or is it simply that it was funny when the term was levied right to left but now it goes left to right it's spiteful and ridiculous? which is a mahoosive double standard.
