    The efforts against CRT and other "divisive concepts" or "divisive language" in schools is mostly fueled by white grievance against the browning of national demographics and the gradual erosion of white privilege in America. White, Christian, patriarchal privilege has been chipped away at for 60 years politically and socially, and this shift toward greater justice and equity is painful for those who culturally came to expect to inheret the same advantages as their parents. Turns out that the idea that "working hard" is no guarrantee of anything in this country, and while black Americans have known this for 350 years, whites have held onto the myth of the "American Dream" for a long time, even though that for so many of them, too, it did not apply. The myth is teetering, and angry lower and middle-class whites have begun flailing while looking for scapegoats, and wealthy whites hope that they never turn on them (the real problem). So manipulative politicians demonize progressive ideas like BLM or CRT or simply acknowledging the fact of slavery to eight-year-olds to keep the rabble whites from turning their anger on them.

    M: I came here for a good argument.
    A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
    M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
    A: It can be.
    M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
    A: No it isn't.
    M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
    A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
    M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
    A: Yes it is!
    M: No it isn't!

    There is no sport better to watch than rugby. It's got everything: stamina, grace, strength, endurance, quick wits, speed, action. And add in a hakka by the New Zealand All-Blacks... I love rugby.

    My best yachting mate in Auckland was a great fan of the All Blacks and we spent many evenings glued to the telly.

    One element I like is the continuous play, during which players have to think for themselves and execute spur-of-the-moment tactics. Compared to which, Yank football, with most plays less than a minute followed by a long administrative wait (and an advert or two) is hard to watch. Sportus Interruptus.

    Now, THAT'S more the style of insults that this subforum should aspire to! That one I commented on was too wimpy.

    To be fair, Chuck started it with an oblique insult about my brain. I think. Chuck didn't respond to my query for clarity, so I took it as an aspersion.

    It was Chip's "nyah, nyah, doodie-head" insult that I was commenting on. If you guys want to insult each other, at least demonstrate some craft when doing so.

    So, you really think I was commenting on your reputation and integrity?

    We all bring our experiences and such to the forum. I never disregard anyone's integrity or reputation. If Ted thinks the cut off for abortion is 15 weeks, I gotta ask why not 16?

    Craft? I didn't say nyah, nyah, etc. You did. If you're going to repeat my insults, at least be accurate.

    I couldn't bring myself to reiterate your playground insult.... my line was just a representative example from the same level of repartee.
