Still cannot believe the Cleveland Indians actually changed their name.

Huh?
 

LOL. Apparently “silent” doesn’t mean what I thought it did.

Was asked at a recent hospital visit if I had any preferred pronoun when I was to be called forward for my appointment, or when Consultant speaks to me.
I said " My name will work."
Poor secretary said she had to ask, so as not to offend anyone.
Can you imaging having to ask those sort of questions all day?
Worlds going mad.

If you have a problem with me using the terms"she, her, ma'am, miss, etc." then that is your problem. The same with "he, him, sir, mister, etc." I would think it would be more derogatory to use "it" as a replacement for those terms. I do not believe in "non-binary" as a gender, so it will be up to you to correct me if I address you wrong. If I can't tell the difference in your gender, then that's also on you. If you are gay or whatever you wish to be categorized as and wish my respect, then what's up with the idiotic "Gay Pride" parades where folks parade around dressed silly and act silly? In my opinion, there should be a charge of "Fraud" whenever someone fills out an official document using the wrong gender (one other than they were born with). This is my opinion, and like something else, everyone has one. When I was a child, the "N" word was forbidden and a threat of being punished if I used the word. However, "negro" was proper and acceptable. Then we were told that we should use the word "black." Now, it's African-American. An Indian is a person from India and a native of America is an Indigenous. A coworker once described himself as an African-American and I responded that I was an Euro-American. He frowned at me as if I was making fun of him. Honestly, he was probably right, because it seemed it was perfectly acceptable for him to call me a "cracker." Although, I was not and still am not insulted by the term "cracker." I've also noticed that ALL newer TV programs and movies MUST have a mixed black and white family, or else must be gay. And even though a straight family is presumed to sleep together intimately, gays must be portrayed making out to prove that they are "gay." Call me a prude, but I do not feel that in order to make an entertaining program, there must be sex in it. The plot must be pretty weak if the show must have sex to keep the audiences attention. Once again, my opinion. Thank goodness I am old enough to get away with disregarding a lot of today's 'Progress."

Everyone knows who causes most of the crime in America. No need to mention it.

I think that calling the largest bedroom the PRIMARY BEDROOM is fine with me. It seems to be a better description than MASTER bedroom. Plus it avoids any unpleasantness associated with the term MASTER. I think that it is the least the Caucasians can do to avoid reminding BLACKS of that unfortunate era in US HISTORY that I as a Caucasian can't be proud of. It may SEEM like a little thing to a Caucasian, but it might be an unnecessary reminder to a black person that they were once a 2nd class citizen.
..........In today's touchy environment, many things are driving various groups apart. I would like to do my best to REPAIR any frictional situations. So, I am fine with the change to the PRIMARY bedroom.

Look up why they want us to stop saying Grandfather, because of the term "Grandfathered"

That is because Kyle was the victim defending himself and others. The men he shot were murderous thugs.

Thats because they weren't victims.

I feel that it would be going TOO far to ban Y'all.

can you say, you are overreaching?

Jokes are only funny when they are not directed at you or your race.
Ask Will Smith :)

The "cancel culture" is NOT destroying my traditional American values because I don't have a CLUE as to WHO or WHAT is meant by "cancel culture". Does that involve BOOK banning .........that might be one way to cancel a culture?

While I do speak my mind, I don't INTENTIONALLY try to offend people. When I apologize, I'm not changing my mind on what I said.
