Quote from: Recusant on July 12, 2022, 07:17:56 AMYou have always been welcome here Magdalena, and always will be. I can't speak for anybody else but I believe that most of the old white guys here are in agreement with your position.



Thanks, Recusant, you are right, there are exceptions here. But as Anne D. said:

I second that. I haven't been very active lately, but follow the discourse with interest every day. Mags, you are always a voice of reason.

I agree as well. Sorry, if I said any wrong things. I come from a different part of the world where the culture is different and our problems are different than the ones in the USA.

This old white guy is also in agreement with your position, Mags.  Please stay, you are loved and respected.

Quote from: Magdalena on July 12, 2022, 05:04:51 AMMaybe I should just finally accept that I am at the wrong place.

No, you're in exactly the right place. We're in the right place.  :hug:  This is our place as much as any other member's. I know this forum can be and often is an awesome place. You make it so. We're the change we seek.  :)

We must teach ourselves to withhold judgement until we have walked for a mile in another mans (or womans) moccasins.

That's a wondaerful sentiment Icarus, but I don't need to walk a centimeter in john william king's shoes to know he's a completely worthless scumbag.

Walking in someone's shoes don't mean that you'll reach the same conclusions as that person or that the person's who's shoes you are walking in must be correct. You would also not want to walk in the shoes of dreadful people like a Boris Johnson. People are different individuals and it is okay for them to have a different opinions. I wouldn't want to live in a world where everyone must have the same opinions like mine and where different opinions are not allowed.

I'm not saying that. I just don't think subhuman scum, such as john william king deserve any sort of respect. He, and shitbags like him don't merit any compassion.

Walking in another man's shoes is a metaphor guys.  It is said, whether true or not, that it is a bit of wisdom given to us by native Americans. (the ones whose land we so brazenly stole..........but that is a whole other subject that should give we old white men some shame)

When I used that metaphor, I was thinking of Magdalenas sensitivities. None of us have walked in her shoes so we cannot presume to understand her emotional or reactive state.  The general idea is applicable to other human situations as well.
