    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.

    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/ho...ng-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?

    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.)

    Perhaps you should take a course in punctuation/grammar?

    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.
