Confession is good for the Hype. - - - - - Part 14

[Lily Adler]

I confess I find it disturbing that people think diversity is creating an Anti-white message for society.

 

[flickchick85]

The Hype is rooting for you!

We're survivors, we can do this. (a little bit of liquor would certainly help...)

Ha, thank you! Might need to try to liquor method next time, lol. And good luck to you as well.

I confess I find it disturbing how easily offended people get. Not only here in SHH but in society period. You can say whats on your mind, or speak the truth and you so quickly get labeled a racist, sexist, etc.

No comment is appropriate to reply to people thinking like that.

What's worse is you can't tread carefully enough around some of them.

I confess I've always considered myself very liberal... but ... here lately i just can't stand the whole "everything is offensive, I'm a delicate flower" mentality this country has fallen over.....

and it's not just happening with liberals.. but conservatives too.. The extremes on both ends are causing major rifts in both viewpoints...

I firmly do not believe bullying is a good thing, at least not when hounded.. and people should stick up for those being attacked... but I do have to wonder if there is bullying that is "ok" because it does teach us to stick up for ourselves... and it does teach us to have a backbone and learn to either fight our own battles or learn how to brush something off...

I really worry about the >millennial generation.. i'm somewhere between a millennial and a Gen Y/X (born in 85), and i absolutely refuse to be associated with the millennials..

oh totally..

and i'm beyond sick of hearing "you have no opinion because of your white-privelege"

assuming everyone has it easy who's white... and had things handed to them is just as equally offensive as saying "all mexicans are lazy". Racism goes both ways.. and 2 wrongs don't make it right.

i'm always like... "please, i'm a gay man from the midwest.. don't tell me i've had everything easy and have no clue what it's like".

 

[Schlosser85]

There are plenty of white people who are not "privileged".

I agree! I'm more of a conservative I guess is how you would label me. But I am very much more open minded than a lot. I could not agree more with the extremes of both sides! I also hate how it pins so many people against each other in some very dark and vicious ways.

As I mentioned before, I hate the everyone is offended by everything mentality. but I also hate the everyone expects hand out mentality as well. I'm a firm believer and supporter of the World owes us nothing, you have to work for what you want. earn it. build yourself.

Nice to see an open minded liberal as well with a similar thought for a change LOL *high fives*

oh totally.. i mean there are issues where i do think people are owed... but when it comes to other things i'm right there with you. If you were personally wronged and cheated out of something then you are owed.. but if your ancestors were..... i'm kinda over blaming people who currently have nothing to do with ti.. and generalizing a group of people who are innocent of it.

from everything from Red-Cups to "white privelage" i'm over all of it... both sides are making themselves look ridiculous.

I confess that I used to be super far-left but have been pushed more and more right by our current societal climate of everything is racist/sexist/homophobic/whatever-phobic because from my experience, the left has been more or less hijacked by that kind of people. It's gotten to the point where the quality of discourse has reached a new low, where people are more than content to attach labels to you rather than actually argue your points.

to be fair.. the right side has been dealing with the same things thanks to the Tea Party... Everything under the son is anti-christian, and they throw out just as many labels... they're both quite the same.

the far left and far right are all cray-cray

I agree, I hate the "white privilege" saying. Just another excuse in my opinion to place blame on others.
I'm a 30 year old White male and I grew up POOR, my parents did the best they could with what we had. I started working part time at 14 years old. I worked my way up to where I am today, worked through 2 years of technical college and earned my degree and job. had to eat plenty of Ramen Noodles LOL

Agreed 100%

and i mean, i get there mindset.. with how even when poor and a hard worker you don't face the racial discrimination, the very troubled neighborhoods, the social stigmas etc... but at the same time, lets not pretend every white person is giving another race a hard time, lets not pretend you can't be black, asian, native american, middle-eastern, Indian, etc.. and be successful either (there's plenty who've worked hard, pulled themselves out of poverty, and fought for the careers they have. Do some people have it easier? sure.. but it's not a pissing contest..

there comes a point in time where you just have to stop blaming everyone.. accept you may have more struggles than others.. and rise above it all.

True, but I rarely hear anything about the Tea Party these days (maybe I'm just reading the wrong outlets).

I agree yet again, I understand the discrimination and racism involved, just because I'm white do not mistake me as one of these discriminating people (I'm not saying you are doing this, I'm just saying a lot of times I would be automatically assumed to be) . Not to mention Racism towards white people do indeed exist as well. Its just not thrown in the spot light as much and is I'm sure on a smaller scale, but it does exist as well. As you said, there are plenty of people of all races that have made themselves and decided to remove themselves of these "bad areas", poverty etc to become educated and make something of themselves etc. The people in this situation may have lived in worse areas than me, but I did not have it any easier than any of these individuals would when deciding to do something about it financially.

The tea party has appeared to have fallen apart. i don't hear that title anymore either.. but the nut jobs preaching it's mentality.. are still very much there.

I still lean very comfortably towards the left. Maybe some of my beliefs skew right, but definitely not on social issues. But I think being ultra reactionary or an obnoxious preacher, in favour of civil discourse is akin to bullying.

I confess that I'm actually letting my mustache grow for November, and it looks awful. My body just doesn't grow much facial hair, and this funny ass semi-stache shows why I'm all about the babyface life. It's still fun to do though, and to donate and cut this damn thing off of my lip once December gets here.

 

[ComicChick]

donate to who? lol

 

[E-Man]

donate to who? lol

Movember is about donating to testicular and prostate cancer charities. I'm donating to one of them at the end of the month.

 

[ComicChick]

i read it in the way of you donating your mustache lol not money

My future mother in law is getting on my nerves. My fiancé had a meltdown a few days ago because her file of art on her computer was corrupted and was lost. Her mother took the opportunity to tell her that she needed to return to God and admitted that while I clearly love my fiancé and treat her well, she still worries about my atheism and the effect it will have on our eventual children. My fiancé told her that she didn't want to hear it and I was the best thing to happen to her in years.

I love my fiancé for her response but her mothers overbearing religiousity gets on my nerves. I respect her beliefs and never make a peep about them, but she likes to get her snide comments.

After an initial excitement, I dont give a **** about the Civil War trailer.
