Sometimes I fart and a tiny bit of wetness coats my anus. I routinely have to wipe throughout my day. Otherwise I get butt crust, which can stink real bad. Reminds me of this post.

Sometimes I pee a little whenever I stand up. Even if it's to salute the American flag.

Feeling inferior are you? It's okay, lash out. I wouldn't expect someone like you to be intelligently productive with negative emotions.

Yes, feeling inferior over the interwebs, someone call the suicide hotline.

I doubt you ever served, every post you make is unbecoming.

Please find in the UCMJ, where a vet isn't allowed to express his opinion in a logical fashion on an internet forum. Please.

/pras Alarti, this kid is full of pride that they served or are cool for doing so (or I don't know I can't really tell for sure, they seem to not want to acknowledge anyone else). They maybe perhaps didn't feel the calling and understand that the pride should have been in the people they served with and for.

I think this is a troll post.

Which? Mine? Or Alarti's above yours? I assure you, my OP was a legitimate thought that passed through my mind this morning and I just let it dribble out my fingers onto the internet where it belonged.


What do you think about pride? Do you think the left hates it?

Yea, the keyword is serve.

Your explicit assertion: liberals hate pride
Your tacit assertion: pride is a good thing and people who hate pride are bad, therefore liberals are bad
My assertion: it is literally a basic tenet of christianity that pride is the worst possible sin

Now. I generally prefer to let people draw their own conclusions from facts rather than spell them out, but here's a few obvious ones if you got lost somewhere along the way:

Most people in the US (regardless of political affiliation) are christian, and if they follow those tenets they should call patent bullshit on the aforementioned assumption that pride is a good thing

An even higher percentage of the political right are christian than the US population at large, and should be even more inclined than said population at large to espouse the concept of pride being sinful and wrong

If they aren't/don't, they are being hypocritical, which I'm assuming everyone agrees is bad...

I think it is obvious that you could then draw the following conclusion (irrespective of your actual religious affiliation, which I do not care to know):

anyone who criticizes a specific group of a specific like or dislike of a behavior without acknolwedging and understanding that a much larger group also has that exact same behavior codified in their belief system is simply ignoring reality, or, they are also tacitly accusing that group of hypocrisy.

Wait, Liberals aren't bad?
Christians = bad
Whites = bad
Males = bad
Pride = Gay?

[JurisDictum]

I think liberals are much more pro pride than conservatives. Some of this is just a branding reality. Liberals can't say: "be proud to be gay, be proud if you are female, be proud if you are white!." White pride is unfortunately related a lot of ugly ethnic nationalist trends in our country.

In short, we encourage people to be proud to be black or whatever, because its much more likely someone would be ashamed of being black or gay or whatever. We don't need to remind people to be proud of being a white American -- because there really isn't any unjustified shame belonging to that group overall.

I made literally none of those assertions, ever, and in fact did not even bring up 3 of those topics
