Trudeau talks "diveristy" at sexist mosque

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

Well now we're starting to get on the same page Because I also don't think there is a whole lot to debate here, it was merely a subjective opinion. The point I was trying to make is that minorities, immigrants and people on the left tend to deem things as racist even when, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with racism. That's all I was trying to say...I wasn't referring in particular to any one group, just replying to what Jay said, but I did not mention the alt right in my comment as I was talking about the bigger picture of ideals, not one particular group.

Now go make me a sammich damnit, make sure it has extra cheese, and don't forget the green peppers! thanks!

Actually, we tend to deem things racist when we're called chimps, monkeys, or told to get out of our own country, or that we're what's wrong with everything, and you don't even know the person you're speaking to., Or the fact they've judged an entire group of people as degenerates.

My question to you is, when can I call something racist? What qualifiers need to be met? In your personal opinion.

totally not on the same page, but i'll accept you're lunch order as an apology and drop a hint as to where you can put your sammich

Service with a SMILE please

JayJay, I get your frustration with the nature of PC culture gone awry, but I think you are twisting it in a strange way. I think, for instance, that feminism has been set back a bit, and am saddened that "being kind to foreign cultures" somehow means that we forget the things that we, as the west, have been fighting for for decades. But this mosque is not necessarily sexist just because they separate by gender. Don't you believe that it could be possible that the people attending want to experience history in a material way, and want to participate in worship the way their ancestors did? It doesn't mean that they think, necessarily, that men and women can't sit next to each other in other places, like restaurants, the public bus, or the airplane. They just choose to do their religious service like this.

I mean, monks and nuns live in separate abbeys, do you think that is sexist? I think that there might be value in experiencing an environment with ones own sex only, from time to time. Maybe there isn't. But I don't think it's bad to try and see what happens if the people participating do so with free will.

And I don't "save" my criticism of things that I think deserve criticism in the name of freedom or globalization or whatever. I find hijabs offensive. But this mosque's seating arrangement isn't it.

I think VJ should change the +1 system to include random symbols of produce and processed meats.

I give you a tomato for that one.

Many people are saying that it's a very, very good idea. Believe me!

What would be more interesting is if you could give -1s. But I understand why they don't do that.

We could use rotten produce for -1's. Like a limp brown banana or an apple with worms. Small breakfast sausages could also be used for -1's.

Of course the produce/meat symbols for +1's would all be phallic. The foot long hot dog would be equal to a +100. A salami roll would be the king.
