In reply to the discussion: It’s Time For No-Wave Feminism [View all]Remember Me
(1,532 posts)42. And one could also argue
that the so-called justice system in this country rarely is (just, that is) but is often corrupt or corruptible and in fact is built to be corruptible (from my perspective), and that that failure to match reality to "as advertised" components of that sort might even extend to other places in our society, maybe even including such places as alerts and juries in forums like this.
As for "taking one for the team," what a ridiculous conclusion to draw from what I said. And if you're REALLY interested to what I said "according to my words," you'd exercise a little more caution and note I wasn't making assertions but speculating:
MAYBE that's why only 7 have replied? MAYBE not everyone agrees that "we need to have this discussion," especially given the particular premises you outlined. MAYBE because of the bullying that's gone on lately, including the rash of alerts, few feel safe enough to say anything even if they don't get alerted on.
I have no more information on the subject than you do, but was speculating.
Instead of trying to find fault with my words (and mischaracterizing/misquoting me again in the process), why don't you tell us why YOU think there hasn't been more participation?
LOL -- and yes, of COURSE I fully expected you to say, "See? I was right. Here's someone who can only find fault." Well, yes, it's true sometimes I can be hypercritical. It's actually one of my more appealing qualities. LOL. But your observation also lends even more potential validity to my own speculation doesn't it? That ANY one disagreeing would be validating your point, and MAY NOT (not definitely not but MAYBE would not) want to put themselves in that place?
So, again, what are your thougts about why there hasn't been more participation (and even tho you have more now, it look like a discussion about TV and TV shows and such)?

It does! I remember now that's why I realized that I didn't need a TV or cable.

I realized how much I was spending on cable and I never used the TV, so I gave it away.

I think I do have a slight preference for a more civilized discussion with less argument.

What I think is really sad about this is, there are wide areas of agreement across waves
