What if everyone stoped using terms like libtard, commie, Nazi, fascist, racist as an experiment?

SW may be a microcosm or society. Why not give it a try and see if we all learn to listen with some respect a little better? Avoidance of snarkiness and namecalling in general would also help.
Great idea. That would allow me a better chance of getting some of 'my' new terms officially coined!

TLBB- Tender Little Blossom Brigade........Formal address- "The Emasculated and Androgynous Impotentates of the Tender Little Blossom Brigade"

Poodle Sharks- same as pseudo libs. They are like little sissy la la poodles that are as vicious and blood thirsty as sharks.

Pseudo Libs (Pseudo Liberals) Poodle sharks who have hijacked the title "liberal" when none of them would qualify as a pimple on a real liberals ass.

Scum bags.....Oh! Never mind, that one was already taken.
@puck61 I've always loved poodle sharks!
@MistyCee They 'are' kind of cute. It would be nice to have one in a tank, but I could never afford the upkeep.

I don’t think the concept is to get around it with synonyms lol. Good try tho!! @puck61
how about dropping this "coastal elite" thing?

in a different thread you just called my peeps out as coastal elites for eating hummus.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Non of this has referred to you at all my friend. You are down to earth and real. I like that you call it as you see it. Unless you’ve been play acting, you like me are not qualified to be considered a coastal elite. @CopperCicada
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
You’re not a smarmy condescending know it all smartest person in the room type. You’re real. At least it seems that way to me. No you really not get it or are you pulling my leg? @CopperCicada]
Sighs. I like the idea, but if we get rid of name-calling, won't we make it hard for some folks?

Seems to be a big item in the President’s tool box. @MistyCee
@MistyCee You are a very understanding person. I appreciate the thought!
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
I heartily agree with Puck. @puck61 @MistyCee

And libs using unprovable and sudden claims of rape as a means for political attack expediency is just to be over looked ?
akindheart · 61-69, F
@jackjjackson it sure is.

@jackjjackson and they are touting the polygraphs a bit too much . Let the FBI test her and see if she passes a authority supervised test
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Polygraph results are largely based on the questions asked and are inadmissible in courts for good reasons. @TexChik
SW-User
If it were possible to like a question more than once, I would. The US has devolved into tribes that only seem interested in flinging poo and rocks at each other. I've actually given up on it and simply stopped following news and politics, because it's a futile exercise in misery.

So pre-2010? That should be easy. We did it before, why not now?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
It’s not like it’s hard righta. Or is it? Maybe it’s easier than thinking about an issue

If I use the word - democrat is that still offensive
@nedkelly The thing that the democrat party has become is an obscenity. I concur. They used to be racist oppressors, now they are passive aggressive racist oppressors who have far too many of their victims completely bamboozled. I patiently await the inevitable paradigm shift.
i already dont
calling them human is insult enough
Nimbus · M
It may become the first step in a long line of 'voluntary' censorship?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
I think it like porn. You know it if you see it 😀 @Nimbus
Nimbus · M
@jackjjackson :)

I like mine straight :)
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Ditto @Nimbus
I only call people racist if they seem racist.. I dont even use those other terms
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Bravo! @SStarfish
*bows*
Niburu · 51-55, M
people using such terms have already lost several points of legitimacy in any argument
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
I agree with Jackson. Shame most people on here don't.
KaTeeEvent · 36-40, F
Or in a very sarcastic and insulting way, “genius.”
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Sure that could be one. Let’s include all simple things like rocket scientist, Einstein, etc. @KaTeeEvent
Milkshake · F
great advice not just for Sw but in general.

people need to stop indetifying themself over what they vote for.
xixgun · M
Can't I just stick with "asshole" like I usually call everyone?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
It’s just a suggestion. @xixgun
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
We do have a few actual admitted Nazis running around here, you know.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Fortunately I have not encountered any of them and hope to keep it that way @QuixoticSoul
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
The only people I call Nazis are actual Nazis like Richard Spencer and Andrew Anglin. The only people I call fascists are those in favour of fascism. The only people I call racists are racists.

But let's try this experiment, like I told you before, I rarely throw the first punch, I just hit back harder.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
You don’t subscribe to the policy of turning the other cheek or being the bigger man? @basilfawlty89
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@jackjjackson No, I don't. Turning the other cheek is craven. If someone has a problem with me, I respond to them directly. I've tried respectability politics and all it ends with is some jackass stepping up the insults and ad hominems. Now, they just block me instead, so I get a laugh.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
I see Basil. @basilfawlty89
strongbow · 46-50, M
Sorry but liberals have earned the 'tard.... they seem to wear it like a badge too🤷‍♂️
TexChik · F
@jackjjackson I promised a sweet friend I would try and not stab every liberal I see ... so this is me trying ! 😖
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
If that’s what you think, why allow yourself to sink to their level? @strongbow
strongbow · 46-50, M
@jackjjackson Hey if you like putting up with their stupidity, by all means go right ahead
