As I said, I had good and bad teachers, good and bad coaches. (I could tell crazy stories about an abusive football coach I had as an 8 year old). All played a limited role is my life, none had a significant lasting impact that changed who I am today. That was due to my parents, brother, relatives and friends that I knew a lot more than a school year or sports season or two.
Again, the fact that you and your offspring weren't impacted by teachers says a whole helluva lot.
I noticed you only mentioned the good ones. I guess you’ll agree that the bad one also had a lasting negative impact on you?
Ooooh, nice strawman (one of your deflection skills). We all had good and bad teachers. Normal humans build on the good, put aside the bad. Unless you were Larry Nasser'd, those of us who are normal (you are excluded) focus on and build upon the positive impacts great teachers and coaches had on us. You know, the vast majority of mankind.
Oh yeah! You forget the crazy **** you’ve posted. You tried arguing that taking down the monuments of treasonous confederate generals (and losers) was destroying history and the equivalent of demolishing holocaust museums that honor victims.
That you support tearing down statues and destroying history ALSO surprises no one. You're a good, card-carrying, pink-haired screeching Liberal that wants to destroy history (good or bad) to establish an entirely new narrative and directive.
I live upon the old, proven notion that we need to know history (good or bad), learn from it, and improve mankind because we've studied it. You want to burn books and tear down statues that offend your soy-sensibilities. We are not stunned.
Genocide is the belief of those protesting (and others). Don’t forget we’re discussing the right of people to hold whatever beliefs they want.
No, you're bringing in a separate discussion now - the right to free speech. The first discussion was YOU rationalized that the current, anti-semitic, genocidal screams of the left NATIONWIDE were ok because they are protests about a "genocidal war" while simultaneously calling for the extermination of a race of people. Pinpoint sniped on that point, you switch to free speech. Free speech ends with death threats, does it not? Your side, nationwide, is calling for that right now.
You don't oppose it.
I can rationalize the belief that Israel has carried out reckless and indiscriminate attacks. For every one of the 1,200 people killed in the Hamas terrorists attack, Israel has killed 6.5 children and 4.1 women in Gaza, not to mention the aid workers. It might not qualify as genocide, but it’s a good start.
And there we have it. Your knowledge of the history of Palestine and Israel comes from TikTok. You are influenced by the social media you worship (as evidenced by your Covid vaccine ideology), and that media is telling you to support Palestine and hate Jews. You've literally just boxed yourself in.
"I went to bar mitzvahs damnit but Israel is guilty of genocide (not self defense!) and the calls for the River to the Sea are to be supported and upheld!"
You are the problem.
So you do defend them! If you could explain what Jews had to do with the removal of confederate monuments, I’d like to hear it… and likely be amused.
LMAO, MensaFlogg, explain how I 'defended them.'
All I said was that teachers have a limited role in their influence on kids, much less so than parents. I can only assume that since you continue to argue until you’re blue in the face that your parents failed in that regard.
