It's not "bullying" to trigger (my favorite social justice word) people who want to control others by force. It's quite often the only way to deal with them.

Then is it sexually insensitive for a person to dress up as a character of another gender? Is it ethnically insensitive to speak in another language?

Being a bully is being weak-minded, and sick minded. Getting off on purposely angering someone is the characteristic of a bully.

tough... So what. You going to get violent too?

What a weak mind.

If you want to get violent about it, you too can meet Travon Martin and his badass self.

If the left wasn't so intolerant they would leave us all to wear whatever costume or say whatever we want. How long can we continue to tolerate the intolerant left and call this the land of the free?

What? I'm not acting violent. What I do advocate is calling out people on their words if they are being rude and offensive. That's not violent.

Given the aggressive tone of a series of your posts, it seems that YOU have the predilection/penchant about threatening others with violence, especially when someone pushes back on your views.

This story was on the national news. Disney is pulling some Halloween costumes off the shelves from the movie Moana because some Hawaiian and Pacific Island groups are offended by the idea of non-Pacific Islanders dressing up as a character who is of their race.

So, is it cultural appropriation when a black girl dresses up as Cinderella?????
bullcrap.

it's crap.

I guess it's more badass to be an e-thug.

Definition of a statist - one who believes in statism. What is statism? In political science, statism is the belief that the state should control either economic or social policy. I have not espoused political control over what a person dresses up as for Halloween. So that makes you someone who lies.


You discount why someone might be offended, and then respond with purposely offending them. Sounds like bullying tactics. Force would be making laws to making dressing up a certain way illegal. Common sense says if something is racially insensitive/crude, you shouldn't do it simply out of consideration for others. If you can't understand that, then you have a problem.
