So true. How did "culture" and "education" become dirty words among right-leaning trailer park trash? I do agree that it seems to be a function of envy.

That's it. They lack both culture and education and see no need to remedy that. But it's okay because #LOSER45 loves the poorly-educated. They're his cult.

I hope you delete that post to save some face. "The Left" defines culture and education? And culture and education are shit?

You're so hopelessly fucking stupid.

That is very impressive. Hawaiian is such a beautiful language. One of my language profs showed a video in class of a group in Hawaii working to restore and reclaim it, as well as teaching it to elementary school age children. If I can find it again I'll post it to you in a PM.

Imagine a language where the neuter "it" is not used when talking about a tree, a cliff, a heavenly body, an animal, an insect. This language has few personal slurs like English does, because its speakers don't need them. The words for cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. change according to the relationship of the speaker to the one spoken of. In other words, the word for the sister of my mother (just "aunt" in English) is different than the word for the sister of my father (also aunt). This is Ojibwe.

I love it. Had you not learned Ojibwe, you might not even be able to express that. In fact, the sister of my mother is not the same as the sister of my father, so why not have different words for them? English developed the words "paternal" and "maternal" to allow a distinction, but it's the same thing. Humans are uniquely gifted among animals to use languages that can get really damn precise. We could grunt or stare or roar or cry, as the less evolved among us do, but we can also use verbal/written communication to express intricate and nuanced ideas. To poo poo that is to disrespect a gift that took a lot of hard work and time and probably some luck to achieve.

It's going to be a bumpy week. Stay safe. I am in the process of telling everyone I love that I love them. Not because I think they or I are going to die this week but because they deserve to be reminded. We need to fortify our souls. We need to get our vaccines. We need to power through the end of Trumpism and push all of his lying, psychopathic, racist, undereducated, easily manipulated followers back into the closet where they belong. We need to restore our civilization and resume progress. The past five years were bound to happen sooner or later, but they are over. Onward.

Over 1000 schools in the US now use the 1619 project to teach history. That is, they are teaching creative fiction as history. That's pretty shitty in my opinion...

There are schools that use critical pedagogy and the notions of social and economic justice as used by the radical Left to teach students. Critical pedagogy politicizes and propagandizes education. That is the central idea and tenant of it. It think that's a pretty shitty way to educate children.

In Hollywood smoking is banned in movies and television, even in period pieces where it might be expected to set the proper tone. That's just a shitty politically correct move.
https://www.indiewire.com/2019/07/hollywood-studios-banned-on-screen-smoking-1202156534/

It's clear that conservative actors get ostracized in Hollywood. That too is shitty, putting politics ahead of ability.

Across culture and education, the Left has gotten into a position where they are now the people in charge and what they're doing is slowly eliminating all opposed speech and even those they think might oppose their message.

So, I have given some evidence to support my position. What about you? Or, is ad hominem all you have to respond with?

Trump is out of office and Cuomo decides its time to lighten up on COVID restrictions. Lori Lightfoot decides its time for Chicago restaurants to be allowed to open up as though they lived and operated in a free country. And finally, it is decided in a peer reviewed study that the lockdown critics were right after all and that lockdowns and quarantines were an instance of the cure being worse than the disease. Oh and this, on the heels of two COVID vaccines being released *a week* within Biden [perhaps] winning the election. Raise your hand if you’re surprised by none of this.

Silence! The likes of you may not question anything DEMOCRATS do or say.

I feel so blessed that we landed here in this place with this wonderful university (NMU). They also offer German, French, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin I presume although the course catalog doesn't state), and Russian. Hope to sample some of these too before my brain gets too tired of working any more. lol (I had three years of German in h.s. and one of Spanish.)

in other words shes a old bitch taking courses that will mostly be a waste and of little use she just thought it would be cool and sound good, next she will take a course in basket weaving so she can get a masters degree in it and after that she will take a course in the political actions and conversations of grown men using the women's bathroom in order to get a master degree in that also all on the governments dime

Perhaps you should take a course in punctuation/grammar?

If you lived in New York you would know that for the most part restaurants were never fully closed down, it all depends upon location and the area’s infection rate. If the infection rate for your area falls below a set number restrictions are eased, all broken down by zones and zip codes. The population density in New York isn’t West Virginia, precautions are necessary, especially now with a more contagious form of the virus circulating

Interesting how Cuomo received more attention and credit during the entire Covid crisis than Trump so ever since the right has a hard on for New York and Cuomo. If you listen to Fox News on the radio, a day doesn’t go by where they don’t take the time to bash one or the other.

The Cuomos definitely have their warts, but he was highly acclaimed for his daily Covid pressers while the W.H. was doing nothing but lying.
 
Diesel said:
So true. No one outside of NY paid Cuomo any mind until he was getting air time. Then Trumpists said he caused COVID and murdered elderly people. No one outside of CA paid Harris any until she was nominated for VP. Then Trumpists said she was a Nazi who traded sex for her career. They're so predictable it's become boring.

Indeed. You can always tell someone who's not very bright and seethes with envy of others who are when they put down education. Sad but not surprising, given the fact that the tard worships the world's most ignorant willful idiot, #LOSER45.

BTW, you are right about languages and learning them, and how poorly many Americans speak and/or write English. Yet they're proud of that.

I understood quite a bit about English when I studied Spanish in school.

Because you learn a second language from the ground up. Which makes you compare it to your native language.
 
Diesel said:
Amen. Most people who say liberals stole the universities and that education is pointless dropped out by sometime in high school. Some of them just want to degrade the value of postsecondary education because they couldn't afford it or they started having babies when they were young or they don't understand the correlation between higher education and social liberalism. Trying to explain to someone like Bob the value of an education is like trying to teach a ferret how to fly an airplane.

And they're also the ones who think they are illustrating some sort of genius when they respond to a post with 'this is a result of public education'.
