Oso planning to go pro
To me, that's one of the biggest hypocrisies of the GOP. They lament 'cancel culture' at the same time they try to cancel the foundation of democracy for millions of Americans.It's like when they lament government intrusion in peoples' lives, and then give full-throated support to the government telling a woman what she can do with her body.
You forgot the body of the unborn child in question.This isn't a woman getting a tattoo or piercing.Be honest. You're talking about ending a human life.
Do you know him? What’s in his heart?
absolutely not...but I’m not the one condemning him.
so, in the name of ‘freedom’, abortion...ending a life...is ok? Not being snarky, just trying to understand your take.
Ok, there's some things that should be considered in all of this. First, Coach McDermott is not perfect. We know that and I'd venture to guess that so does he. We learn through the Faith many of us hold that we should forgive. I believe that's a foundation of the Lord's Prayer. He said something he should not have said. The Catholic Christian thing to do (and, yes folks, he works for a Catholic Christian university) is to forgive and work to ensure the problem doesn't happen again.Second, we innocent bystanders should consider the lesson in John, Chapter 8, Verse 7. Jesus said it best: "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone." Nothing more to say here, folks.
So stop being played. There is no such thing as cancel culture. It's your new dog whistle, just like 'fake news' was for years... just like every simplistic bit of jargon that gets created in a board room and passed down by the media for you consume.
Gotcha. So no one should exercise any judgement ever because everyone has sinned previously.
actually, there is, and it's on both sides. But, as Bill Maher said last Friday, the GOP has co-opted it for their side while ignoring the fact they have also engaged in it. Meanwhile, the far left gleefully trumpets their successful "cancellation" of individuals and calls for the "cancellation" of people like Drew Brees for making a single comment. The ironic part of this is the author himself should have been "cancelled" but instead threw his colleague under the bus to protect his own ass...and it worked.https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/Drew-Magary-cancel-culture-15495803.phpThis is a long overdue correction to both pop culture and American culture in general, and it’s hardly over. We need to cancel MORE people and we need to make it stick. Thus far, the Internet has chosen its targets well. If, God forbid, we cancel one person who shouldn’t be canceled, well that’s still one person compared to the massive amount of human collateral damage the rest of The Canceled have left in their wake.
I think he's pointing out the hypocrisy of saying "keep the government out of my life" while also demanding that the government intrude on one of the most personal decisions of a person's life.It's fine to be pro-life, but you can't be pro-life AND argue against government intrusion in individual lives or personal decisions.
Bill Maher is an entertainer, entertaining you.
when you've got no retort, post a meme. And here I thought that was just a right-winger strategy.
Brother Fluff, are you serious?If one asks for forgiveness and is truly repentant, it's our duty as Catholic Christians to give him or her a chance. Doesn't mean they don't have atone for their sin, as Coach McDermott will, but if a person is truly sorry and expresses remorse, then I'm up for benefit of the doubt.Secondly, we're all the peanut gallery. The point of brining this up is that we're not perfect and we're not a party to this. Unless you're going to play basketball at Creighton or unless you are applying to be head coach at Creighton, it aint our business.
