In response to Ben's tweet, I'll bet you would be hard pressed to find a woman who rates as a 9 or a 10 that is offended

TL;DR: As long as jokes only offend ugly people I suppose they're okay

Guess what? Not everybody is above average in every category. It's okay to

Can't we all just be thankful for the 8's, 9's and 10's?

If we didn't have the 2s and 3s there could be no 9s and 10s. Be grateful for

Lol, that is exactly what I meant. Let's live in a world where nothing can be said that offends anyone. I can straw man

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:02am

Wondering why the onus is on completely on people to quit being offended,

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:06am

Few people want to live in a world where we have to "examine why the things they say may be offensive"

Best part of the Church for me is the call to constant self-examination

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:11am

Self examine yourself all you want but virtue signaling for others to see has nothing to do with the church

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:14am

Ha using conservative buzzwords like "virtue signaling" and "progressive agenda"

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:23am

I don't think I have seen a better example of virtue signaling then what you are doing. Nothing you are doing

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:26am

Annnndddd back to buzzwords

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:26am

You can insert whatever word you choose to describe someone that wants others to know what a virtuous person he

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:30am

Hard to virtue signal to women on a message board with hardly any women?

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:35am

This all about making yourself feel good, nothing more nothing less

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:35am

Yeah this is really what gets me through the day lol

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:36am

So there is no way he genuinely holds these views? Why is that so hard to

Charles Darwin

11/20/20 8:37am

he might hold these views but his attempts to chastise others is all about himself.

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:40am

and the purpose of your posts? He wants to share his views. As I assume you

Charles Darwin

11/20/20 8:44am

My purpose was to say lighten up. Don't be offended by others opinions or words and definitely don't speak for all

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:45am

I assume you actually believe in the things you post and genuinely want to share

Charles Darwin

11/20/20 8:53am

Lol, I responded to a poster the way I would any other poster. Isn't that equality?

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:54am

You were using a very specific meme to brush off the other persons post. A meme

Charles Darwin

11/20/20 8:58am

I'm sorry but this is so boring at this point. This is reason why so many are pushing back against PC culture.

RealMadridCougar

Boring, and yet here you are 😉

DoctorTimmy

Lol, here I am on the post I originally put on the board.

RealMadridCougar

You say it's boring and you're still here. You do it to make yourself feel good

Lol, there is nothing offensive about what Ben said or I said, but feel free to let everything offend you

RealMadridCougar

This is a really bad take.

Wow, really digging yourself into a hole here.

Mitty

What hole, if you agree with the sanctimonious argument being made then that is on you. Joke and word police

RealMadridCougar

Go away. Your attempt to use religion as a cover for your insecurities made

Division Bell

Yikes. I suppose I refuse to check my religion at the door

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:51am

Your religion is the key term, not an actual principle of an actual religion

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:56am

Happy to link to actual principles in my actual religion re: respecting women

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 9:04am

There's just one of your logical flaws. To think that acknowledging physical

Division Bell

Acknowledgement of beauty (10) =\= having a laugh at those "not beautiful" (6-7)

While picking up a whole suitcase of sanctimony as baggage for your CB journey.

Division Bell

Looks like you're the only one that's used the term "progressive agenda," DoctorTimmy.

Do you ever feel bad when you have said something that makes another person feel

Charles Darwin

11/20/20 8:25am

No. If they choose to feel bad that's their fault. Brother Brigham said as much

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:36am

Ironic passive-aggressive post.

Division Bell

11/20/20 8:49am

I feel bad about my actions all the time. I am a terrible person.

Charles Darwin

10 points to Griffindor for self awareness!

Division Bell

11/20/20 8:56am

I don't know what that means

Charles Darwin

11/20/20 8:59am

Minus 5 points from Griffindor for societal ignorance in the JrHS space.

Division Bell

Im devastated.

Charles Darwin

I really like these comments by Jordan Peterson on being offended by words...

CatManBlue

11/20/20 9:44am

Why is it not okay to acknowledge that people actually pay attention to how

Goliath

11/20/20 8:08am

Because Brother Brigham said so. 😉

Trent

A statement meant for those who are offended is easily to reflect on the wisdom

CougarTailDevourer

If he had said “guy” or “person” instead of “girl” I’m pretty sure no one would

No, people will always find a reason to poke and jab at somebody they disagree with these days.

dryflycoug

He is talking from his perspective. I'm sure Ben doesn't rate guys on the numbers scale of attractiveness.

RealMadridCougar

Men haven't been reduced to their looks over the past 6,000 years quite to the

DoctorTimmy

For sure, men haven't had to put up with anything annoying or terrible over that period of time! LOL!

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:15am

They have, just different things

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:16am

If you have a list of things that I should be more offended about it would really help me out

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:17am

Meh, no list. Like I said from the beginning we should all do better at not

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:25am

You must be really fun at parties

RealMadridCougar

I like to think so

Yes men have been SOO picked on by women throughout history lol

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:23am

Oh, so now you're moving the goal posts? I thought we were talking about how women have been objectified by men.

Rise Against

11/20/20 8:24am

But the point would be we should move away from objectifying men for their

DoctorTimmy

ok, you are the white knight for women's treatment throughout history! Congrats!

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 8:25am

Nah, just trying to respect women and my fellow man a little bit more that's all

DoctorTimmy

11/20/20 8:26am

Honest question: do you require your family members to call you Doctor Timmy?

Toubibe

11/20/20 2:06pm

It is offensive to people that aren't smart enough to be doctors for him to emphasize that he is a doctor. We need to

RealMadridCougar

11/20/20 2:21pm

Helpful hint: character matters, but so does looks, income, social status,

Whether men rank women's looks on a scale of 1 to 10 or not

This is an interesting point. Why is it that he chose to frame the joke around

bebo189

11/20/20 8:33am

He talks from a male perspective. A female sports reporter would have used men for the example

RealMadridCougar

I wish my daughter never felt the need to rate herself on a 1-10 scale.

She doesn't need to, but she should be aware that others are

Hate to hit you with some data but you are part of a very small minority on the side of PC in this country. Like I said
