Wow...thanks. Good vibes being a rarity, and in all sincerity, "Respect...Dude".
Could you PM me, or just give me a reference to your Avatar,sure seems like an "oh shit I thought I was going to die" moment.

It's quite oblious, you don't.
If you're trying to bait me into saying the forbidden word, it won't work. I won't attack you,with that word. But to correct you, my video references are not "bias",they are based.

Even the ones you and I block. Which does not include Winsor BTW. Even so, apparently you can never know when a billyvance may in in our midst.
We collectively, should know there is only one "World view" allowed on these forums.So I commend you in not blocking him,but disappointed that you actually block others, with what I assume a different worldview.I'm sure you have the heart of a lion, so why be bothered by the barks of dogs.
When My Right was abridged here, I was amazed.I told everyone I could at the DZ, twenty or so customers, and as many acquaintances.When I was asked where, I replied dropzonedotcom. The consensus was "oh that's a thing?" LOL

I'll agree, Sir.

And some people are clueless.
I believe at Harvard, inferring that someone is "clueless" constitutes a micro aggregation.Just a Warning: On these forum it will get you warned,a mark placed upon on your permanent record.Sooner or later resulting in being banned,excommunicated from the collective.
On the lighter side...

It doesn’t look like that ban on threaded barrels isn’t working so well.

If you're familiar with the film Idiocracy, there was a great garbage avalanche.... On the northern edges of LA there are three landfills also growing to epic proportions.The Chiquita,Sunshine and Lopez Canyon landfills chances of avalanche are slim,but who knows what the future holds.
There's a great updated version to the film, "Don't look up" it has a great cast. Covid and the critics didn't appreciate the political depictions, so it got no tomatoes,but a cult classic in the making.

A single definition of woke would be arbitrary at best but toxic nonetheless.
Like the Millions wasted on Henry Rogers one of our highest paid activist. Fiction Author of "Antiracist Baby" and rigorous Academic three worded names like Ibram X Kendi, and the Department of Anti-Racism.
In all honesty your vid timed out so I wasn't able to view it.

And anyway, the Spanish and Portuguese were far more exploitative early on of the New World. Wherever Columbus was from, he was sponsored by the Spanish, and so it was a Spanish conquest.
Wendy P.
I'll agree,
Some also say he was a Jew, others Portuguese or Spamish. Others say from the non sicilian part of Italy Genoa, but not Bolona.With a bio like that.One would assume, he was American. LOL
But what would that have to do with the 11 or Columbus Day.
Is there any debate about the New Orleans lynching.
-
2 hours ago, winsor said:Columbus was Portuguese, which makes Columbus Day as an Italian holiday particularly ironic (nothing written by Columbus, to include letters to his family, suggets knowledge of Italian).
I'd suggest an edit to britannica.
I was in awe with your bullet point assessment of the prevailing conventional wisdom, as it applied to the origins of covid,so I'd love to hear you out.
My opinion is we just have a Salami Day, and call it good.

I think DEI is good business. Having a diverse workforce is good for business. Having a homogenous workforce is bad for business.
Being very anti-DEI can lead to very bad hires. I will paraphrase Mark Cuban here,
Many of those hires were so bad they have turned into memes, jokes, criminals or general laughing stock.
I'll have to disagree with you and Cubans assessment, in that they have everything to do with one another.
There's a trait among exceptional leadership in the ability to admit, when wrong.Bill Ackman demonstrated that character.Mark will get it https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-ackman-says-dei-is-racist-2024-1
Here's a 4 grand worded essay,on the subject if Business accoutrement was our moral standard.
But since academia and it's policies seems to not be related the subject matter at hand... I insist.
I hope you admire Mr. Glenn Loury's ability to play the devil's advocate at 5:32 & 11:11
Also here at 25;25 of this one and 35:00 LOL he knows his audience.
To believe that DeAnza is an exception and not the rule is raw naivete'."The fruits of our labor,I'd laugh if it weren't so tragic. 35:00
My hope is that the Coalition for Education and Do no Harm,will be the norm.
Lastly on the label of "anti DEI", a suppose Tabia is now one of those, 40:00.

The next time I run onto that situation,I'll remind them dastardly republicans,"I can't get pregnant"LOL "This is a free country and we'll go as we please, pregnant or not." The freedom loving folks having a collective memory of lockdowns and school closures will get it ;As they do with your murder inference.

Correct Sir, But they are not mutually exclusive please allow me to correct.
It was like watching the Presidents each take a bite of a stinking shit sandwich; the same question,as they passed it around, mouths full of... they responded in chorus. " Exquisite" LOL...
The past month has been a rollercoaster on this story, I'm not surprised at the lack of interest in the underlying rot this exposes within the DEI Institutions.Harvard in particular rejection of the supreme court ruling on Affirmative Action seems notable,as did Gays resistance to resign. Plagiarism and calls to genocide, just a matter of context.LOL
Carol Swains' concerns seemed particularly ironic as double think,speak and double standard in academia became so apparent.
Like your response, Gays predicament and response is particularly enlightening.
I should have elaborated how that response would unfold. Like an investigation to find no wrongdoing,Apostles falling on their swords and of course the race, then victim card. The best one was that Harvard didn't want to make it appear they kowtow to billionaires.LOL

54 minutes ago, billvon said:And you don't see the danger of allowing a politician to get away with financial and electoral fraud, rape and treason? He's already been found liable for financial fraud and rape. There is no question that he is an actual criminal.
If you want to see an example of using a justice system to target political opposition, look at the current targeting of the Biden family. They couldn't find anything on Joe so they went after his son. They are now not allowing his son to testify publicly, because they fear the truth coming out.
The party trying to hide the truth are never the good guys.
If it weren't for double standards the left wouldn't have any standard at all.
We haven't even started with Biden, we'll need about 24 months and 40 million to start a Special council inquiry.We'll load it up with our fav's.
Truth, that's funny.Twitters ex-CEO Jack, finally came out of his xanax cult induced stupor, and admitted it was wrong to ban/censor the vampire Trump, and the laptop story.

4 hours ago, billvon said:We are not. But we are going to close schools when it snows and the roads become dangerous, because we don't want people to die unneccesarily when a temporary closure can avoid that.
We did something similar during the pandemic.
A snow day of sorts with a twenty years loss in learning achievement.Bravo.
Just a tradeoff for the poorly educated I suppose.I'm sure Newsomes kids didn't get the message it snowed that year.

5 minutes ago, billvon said:AB 947 is a consumer protection bill that restricts the ability of companies to sell information on a consumer's racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership.
I think you might have copy-and-pasted from a right wing source that is somewhat loose with the truth.
I'm sorry Bill make that AB 957. LOL It was truly a typo LOL

I suppose you'll be under investigation for not affirming your child's identity as a Cat.

Are you familiar with the book and author I'm referring, or are you just refuting being tone deaf?
Tone deaf is where I say,"this is CCCCC..." and you say, yes, B-B-B-B-B...
I was really hoping you could tell me more of what you perceive as double think/speak?

You don't see the apparent danger of using our system of justice to target political opposition, it's a uniquely dangerous approach to "Justice" Kinda third world banana republic shit,but I suppose Trump failure was not going after the Clintons. What did the Steele dossier tell you? LOL
You should be careful of what you wish for.

While we seem to always be divergent in our thought process, my point was simply that a 1,000 kids a year are lost in auto accidents, while every single one is tragic,surely we are not going to stop transportation because of that known risk. So I'll take your reply as breakthrough coherency between us.LOL
I think you'll agree.
Sweden seemed to have the most liberal response to the pandemic, probably because it's not so politicized like in our Country,their outcomes were quite noteworthy.

Hi Bill
Your flattery won't get you anywhere with me.
On 11/23/2023 at 9:35 PM, billvon said:He does seem to dissent with cognition on occasion.
Seems the Presidents of MIT, Penn, and Harvard seem to suffer from such a condition.
In layman's term it's referred to as tone deafness. Others referer the malady as doublethink, doublespeak.A unique ability among Leftiods. They could have saved face, and their jobs and simpley asked A.I. for a moral and principled response for the calls to genocide.
I wonder if the woke DEI pathology had anything to do with their appointments.
From the men with funny hats to women with the funny hats. Sowell is, was so right.

He was an explorer.His dreams and his greed did compelled him,but regardless of who was flipping the bill,no matter the nation of finance, the exploitation would follow, as a matter of fact. An Oppenheimer's dilemma of sorts.
"Lies my teacher told me" would be simplistic at best.As would judging a man from the distant past by today's moral standard. I find reading what he wrote, without prejudice a great looking glass.
