Trump disinvited Eagles from White House visit


Starkiller

Recommended Posts

I'm actually surprised all these cavemen who get so offended by kneeling know how to use their phone/computer enough to log in to TR and leave comments. Jesus christ, some of these comments I just read were incredible

I’m not going down this rabbit hole with you.

I'm not surprised.

 

But go down it by yourself, assess your own bias, work on empathy, strive to understand and be honest with yourself. And maybe you feel you've done that.I Idon't care where you end up. I care that you try.

 

And, sure, you may not care what I care as a random guy on the internet. But there is zero reason you should expect less of yourself than what I'm suggesting and it's the only real way to assess a dispute accurately. The existence of your objection doesn't self-justify. It simply denotes the existence of a reason to self-analyze.

Lets be honest the kneeling backfired

Maybe the oversaturation and the outrage was caused by the foaming at the mouth conservative media and reality TV president who gave it non-stop coverage. I wonder if people would feel differently if they knew that Kaepernick's kneeling came out of a conversation with a veteran who suggested it as a respectful way to protest?

This is why you can’t reach people. Your condescending attitude is self-defeating and undercuts your message. Again, your intent is to educate and your impact is to insult. Maybe you get that and maybe you don’t. Just because you meant to do good is irrelevant though and I hope you're open and honest enough with yourself to understand where I’m coming from too because bias goes two ways.

I'm well aware and don't generally care much because if you're perceptive enough to note it as well, which you claim to be, then you'll let go of the emotional response and still follow through for yourself because the message is accurate ... and if you aren't perceptive enough then the Internet isn't going to be a fruitful means of conversation anyway.

It's a shame they aren't doing anything meaningful and only protest during the anthem like a bunch of bad acting America haters.

What am I supposed to do with that?  Other than dismiss you?  If you want to be treated like you don't belong at the table with the grownups then keep acting and talking like the kid at the small table.

Cavemen?  It is this exact attitude that you are supporting protesting.  Good job in proving you are no better than the people you oppose.
