Hannah Edwards said:Yeah. This is my home. It’s beautiful, isn't it?

Hannah Edwards said:Got it, thanks! I'll go ahead and change 🙂

He was showing some footage from NASA of deep space...

Sarah Wilson95 said:Just try to grasp that everyone else in this city—and honestly, in this entire country—didn't have this specific version of America in mind when they were dreaming of the future. This isn't what we were promised.

I actually have a dictionary from 1983, published by Scholastic in New York, and everything was censored back then in the old US, yet the definition provided is exactly as stated above.
If you look at even older dictionaries, you’ll find these same definitions for words that have existed for centuries or even millennia—words used by the ancient Romans, which serve as their linguistic roots and were defined under Roman Law. This trend of equating nationalism with chauvinism only started a few years ago, driven by certain local pseudo-intellectuals and old-school hardliners. Eventually, they'll probably work their way into future editions of unwritten dictionaries... 🙂

Kevin Hall8 said:The conversation is being flooded with chauvinistic rhetoric designed to fuel national hatred and tribalism. It’s basically trying to paint the entire Mexican population with the brush of Royalist ideology, or the entire American population with Nationalists ideology.😕

revolution said:Is it really possible to equate the nonsense from one Lip with what Hannah Edwards did? You could almost call it a "pedagogical" curse, couldn't you?

Larry Ramirez12 said:😵 😵 If this guy actually has an IQ north of 90, then I’m basically Einstein. 🙂

Inquisitor2002 said:dustyscout53, I just replied to Jessica Nguyen85's post.

Lip is banned, and that's that. What really gets me thinking, though, is why Zagorakis and LjBB were banned right along with him. From what I could see, they weren't swearing or doing anything else that would actually warrant a ban, right?

Is it just about the overall vibe... or maybe...

Action2 said:Oh, ironbadger31! 👋

Shhh!

I'm right here! 😁

Catch me if you can!
I'll buy you the morning paper. 😂

dustypilot22 said:Good grief, you can't even express yourself anymore without someone jumping down your throat!

This feels like a direct assault on our cultural heritage!

I mean, back home in the States, when we want to tell someone they’re one of the good ones, we might say, "You're a real straight shooter!" or something equally blunt. 🙂

Larry Ramirez12 said:👍 well, that’s certainly how it appears 😬

vjetro_M_pir said:Drummer?
Why are you being so soft on me?
Come on, just hit me with one spicy insult or at least roast me a little bit...
You know I actually kind of enjoy it when people talk trash to me...
All this sweet, sugary nonsense is just boring...
Please, just give me something real!
