I had five questions…in no order.
Surprise, Sue-fucking-prise.
Doesn’t mean to say that they deserve to die though, does it?
Totally. It’s what a reasonable person would do. I’m sure they’re reasonable changes too.
Needless.
Could be? Seriously?
But to the guy in the article, and the guy who shot some teen for knocking on his door, this is perfectly normal, acceptable behaviour. That is what I meant when I said “to many Americans”.
I didnt think I needed the word “ok”. But I wasnt clear enough.
Didnt see myself needing it to be honest…I thought I was clear in that what I meant was it is normal to some, not all. Ill try to be clearer in future.
I said it’s normal to many Americans, normal as in ok.
I didn’t say it is normal. I said to many Americans it is ok to pick up a gun and shoot someone for ringing their doorbell or parking on their driveway.
These aren’t the actions of a responsible gun owner …
Its not that he thinks that this is normal behaviour, its that so many Americans think that this is normal behaviour.
The American healthcare industry is the envy of the world.
This makes me feel better. It’s just I seem to see it be said to men more. Apparently if she feels the need to call you out on how you are towards her, she does, and she didn’t, so…
Yes, I wouldn’t say women don’t say it here, but I think it’s majority male, and this woman is blatantly MtF.
I recently said “thanks mate” to a blatant MtF person that works for the same organisation as I do. I probably very visibly shit a brick and thought “not your best choice of words”. If it’s obvious, I will use gendered words, if someone has pronouns or something to make it obvious how they want to be referred to, I’ll use them. If it’s not obvious, and they have nothing to indicate how they want to be referred to, I’ll just be polite.
Mistakes happen, be polite and apologise and I reckon you’ll be fine.
I’d like to think so but you never know.
It helped that numerous “he’s tight fisted” type comments and insults had been made in the same conversation, before that was said.
No, not Irish.
Fuck knows. I’m quite good at taking the piss though.
