WTF? Why?

[Jim123]

Hey now, it was the power of disco that transformed John Williams' music from good to great.

It's so true, yet again...just like giving women the right to vote, flappers, jazz, talkies, commies, bikinis, rock 'n roll, greasers, biker gangs, beat poets, peaceniks, commies again, marijuana, men with long hair, hippies, bell bottom jeans, disco, the ERA, porn, heavy metal, rap, the internet, commies yet again and Rule 34.

I’m a firm believer (and I’m certainly not alone), that this time IS different. You may find this interesting, and does contain multiple viewpoints. It further discusses that this time is different:

You can search on all kinds of things. Didn't get a hit on the c*** word, but that's about it. Actually I did, but it was someone's name. Definitely some hits on "fuck" and "whore".

Here's what I got when I searched on snowflake. Man, they archive fast.

So the N word is your go to word…. Good to know... I could think of a dozens words before that and even then I probably wouldn’t have even thought of it.

So you don't actually use the word yourself, I assume because it is now broadly acknowledged to be offensive, yet you are upset that there's a warning that you might find stuff offensive that is in the National Archives?

I don’t. It‘s really not and never been part of my vocabulary. Quite frankly I think it sounds stupid in rap music. I‘m not offended by the warning in the National Archives.. I’m not really offended by much. I could care less.. I think warnings, disclaimers and all this woke crap is stupid!

The truth is never offensive!

I'm forced to deal with NARA more than I would prefer (which is never). This doesn't surprise me.

This thread reminds me of this meme on Facebook from today

 

[Sam I am]

I've met people in my life who view those of us who have joined the military as "less thans". Regardless of the servicemember's race, religion, education, or upbringing they just view the servicemember as inferior. Afterward I often wonder how that happens. I think I have my answer: they went on the internet, stumbled into AW, and see threads like this.

I saw on Instagram a few meme pages regarding USAF RPA and the strike that accidentally killed 13 Afghan Civilians recently. They're all laughing on the page.

I’m pretty disgusted by it.

Then they had some asshole in a tacoma cut them off in a parking lot and it was a done story.

This isn’t that complicated

no, but it does provide an excellent opportunity for some manufactured outrage
