we restrict speech all the time, the usual example being yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.
Is "we criminalize making people panic and stampede to exits where the crush of people is deadly, so let's criminalize this speech too" your argument as well as being a false equivalence?
I'm with ya. And, during any other administration and environment this should be a non-issue and not worthy of column inches. I do like that we have to reach this far to get a new 'first' achievement, for instance, showing that yesteryear's achievement is this year's baseline. It shows we've come a short way and we could keep going.
But in this admin, it's worthwhile to (constantly) restate the position wins and achievements of some people; not because they're special, but because the bigots claims these achievers are less-than and unworthy of common decency.
And I'm completely okay with thumbing our nose in their bigot faces, every damned time.
I like how, even near death, he still wanted people to represent themselves properly.
I hope we can continue to only reward people with attention when they can write to the 6th grade; and caution those who cannot, so they can edit their writing and meet that minimum.
My dear friend, a lovely, kind and caring father, has a daughter born with some challenges. She's profoundly autistic, as I recall. Her path and potential are not the same as ours.
My friend talks with his doc often, as required, as in his area the care for his daughter is strong and consistent.
The doctor said, and says, that my friend's wonderful little girl is removed in her intellectual development. That's the word he uses. That's the word my dear friend uses when he talks about his universe when she is sitting in his lap. There's no malice there, and he says it as matter-of-factly as one would say "she has brown hair".
My dear friend, who is a great guy in every respect - I'm a little jealous - heard this word from his doctor, and uses this word when relevant am
And referring to his little girl whom he obviously loves with all his heart.
I'm not a great guy. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a social justice warrior. I am not going to invite wrath by volunteering such a word, as English is a language steered by vapid ticktock fame-whores and that word has been co-opted. It's so fetch to reduce clarity in speech, so like, share and subscribe. But I'm not in a position or need to 'correct' what a doctor told a kind and caring person is the correct word to describe his beautiful child.
And box-wine is wine, Temu is a vendor, the lottery is a retirement plan, and a kleptocracy is a government. Just, none of those are good examples of their group.
it sounds like "the freedom to work in one's best environment" is the ideal policy.
