What is the most powerful word?

I was inspired to write about this post after dealing with, I am pretty sure right winger on Linkedin. They were replying to a UN post about hate speech being inflammatory and can start problems.

“What is hate speech”. This “person” kept saying just because someone says that they “hate” someone, doesn’t mean they want physically harm too them. They did a lot of writing, without actually saying much, other than it was obvious they had no problem with hate speech. So I told them that, lol.

Oh boy, lol

Then there was a whole heap of insulting towards me and just like “they have valid points”. Which one, no they didn’t. If you don’t, as an adult, don’t know what hate speech is. You either ARE stupid, which is something I was accused of calling someone. Or you need to go back to school. Anyways, I did end up saying something and reminding them that it’s LinkedIn, not Twitter or Quora.

They were acting stupid, but I didn’t say the word “stupid”. Which was funny too me. Mainly because of what I wrote above, and what they wrote too. Even if I called someone stupid, doesn’t mean I want to harm them. So when they accuse me of calling them stupid, go for it, still not hate speech according to them, lol.

Also, it’s funny how they can all mind read each other. Maybe that’s why they think everyone else can do it too? If you say “I hate this group” that group has no idea that you don’t mean them harm. On top of which, I asked them to provide me with examples of Trump, Rowling, Putin and Hitler saying they hate the people we all know they do. They couldn’t, of course.

Hate Speech is simply this:

This is what the UN posted on LinkedIn

I guess the biggest irony is, of course and always that in the entirety of what they were writing. Every single person who “had a go” at me. Was being indifferent and were writing ignorantly of what hate speech is. They all know what hate speech is.

I would love to hear though, what you think is or are the most powerful words?

The thing that “scared” me the most about that conversation, were the supposed careers of the people I was having a conversation with. One was a language mentor, one was a prevention crime analyst and called themselves a “Peace Officer” The one who “asked” the UN “what is hate speech” is a Security & Defence Consultant, Analyst, Middle East and Africa.

Thursday Theories – Oh, the irony

Oh, how the mighty idiots are starting to completely freak out. I cannot lie, it is a nice change.

I heard about the FBI raid while at work, and it was really funny. Because all the “news” articles” on my computer, mainly from Sky and Fox “news” were saying how the raid is actually a WIN for Trump. For a moment I was like “cuse you” Then I remember that my work computer had been updated. So the news that I read through my lunch break and had been reset.

Got rid of those.

It is hilarious too see the Republicans and the GOP react they way they have to the FBI raid, with NO sense of irony, whatsoever.

The Party that brings you “Blue Lives Matter” and constantly say that black men wouldn’t get shot, if they complied, now want to defund the blue lives, and don’t want too comply.

Let’s be honest here, not the first time they’ve behaved like this. I would be willing to bet that NOW they wish they had impeached Trump, because it’s all gonna come out now.

The Republican Party of now, have absolutely NO sense of reality. When I came back from work, I knew it. No one with a brain thought “This is a win for Trump”. No one with a brain thought that this was going to be a good thing to be weaponised against the Democrats in the next election. No one who has any sense of reality is thinking that, at all.

What? Taking the 5th Trump?

Today is going to be the day

Last week, I had a bad mental health day when I got through to the second round of a job, that I didn’t end up thinking would work for me, in any way. During the first round, I realise how I just didn’t want this job, how I should done more research before applying, how I shouldn’t have assumed it was going to be the same as the others.

I tried to throw them off, but in typical fashion, of course that means they wanted me.

Anyway, after my mind break and not being able to physically make myself go to the second round work trial. I felt I had to be honest with my job provider. I wrote them a email, letting them know everything that happened. Now, as I write this (on Sunday) I am already booked to go in for the second round, after not being able to go last Thursday. I wrote everyone involved a email.

So why am I waiting till Tuesday to tell you all what happened, did I have to go again or not? Or did something else happened. As I write this, again on the Sunday, they wont see my email till Monday…I wont know until Monday.

So…Not much has happened, I thought that I would have heard something by now. Considering how quick they’ve been with everything else, lol

The Future…

I found this on the Facebook page HeavyGrinder … I have also since unliked the page, because this “post” is so stupid and so wrong.

I hate pictures like these…Just be grateful that we are not in a War…I wouldn’t want a Nazi defending me anyways! It’s pretty disrespectful as well, since that is what they fought for, for us to be safe. So that there are no more Wars

Also…the guy on the left is actually a Nazi solider…

There is SO much wrong with this comparison,lol…People can’t have fun anymore? I know plenty of young people in the Army who use snap-chat…It’s a good way to have some fun…We don’t know this boy, and you know what they say about assumptions!

The IRONY of someone posting about the young people being “weak” because of social media…While posting this picture on a social media platform, via a social media Facebook page … Oh the IRONY!

The solider is a German solider…So they want their children to be a Nazi?…We are VERY lucky in Australia…The kids in american are facing a battle right now. They don’t know when the next mass shooting will take place, but they still have to go…I’d call that extremely brave! Let alone all the cyber bullying that has just exploded these days.

Do you think they were being ironic?

Oh, the Irony

*Just to warn…This is a bit of a “trigger” topic, please read with care <3*

I was reading Tweets yesterday about the various of groups of people who helped fight with our ANZAC Troops. One group being Muslim soldiers…Oh the controversy…There was one Tweet that sound ridiculous to me though. Where a “man” asked if the Muslim woman condoned the rape and beating of women

Now this is why it struck me…

No, the woman did not condone that behaviour…BUT…I find it slightly hilarious that this seems to be the biggest excuse why Muslims are “bad people”…I’m sorry, Us as a Western Society are so great at not raping and beating our women? Us, as a Western Society, are great at protecting at these women and also our gay community? Brock Turner anyone? Or how great we are at protecting people who are innocent? How great we are at protecting Women’s Health because it doesn’t sit well with a certain group of people? Planned Parenthood Defunded (So much for the “Land of the Free”)… I wonder how many times this guy has called a woman a liar as soon as she said “Rape” … Or condemned someone for staying with an abusive partner?

I think some people need to seriously sit down and have a long hard look at themselves before they start condemning another country, because really, are we that far off?

Also if you are affected by any of the issues please contact the following helplines:

“Get Over It”

I don’t think I’ve heard that phrase more than ever since Trump took office. I now that I say that I will try and not talk politics on here, but it’s that phrase that just annoys me SO much. I think it’s mainly because of all the people that gave Obama a hard time and wouldn’t “get over it”…The front runner on that one…Was Trump himself…I don’t get how they don’t see the irony. Trumps victory wasn’t even an landslide.

Also though I don’t think people should just “get over it”. We should never get over whoever is in charge of our countries, of the nations money, of the armies that protect our countries. We should always be questioning. We shouldn’t become complacent. I think I may have even have mentioned this before as a random thought. I think that’s has lead to a lot of things happening right now, we just assuming that it’s all going to get better and we’ll get through it.

It didn’t take one march for the Civil Right Act, it didn’t take one movie or one show, or one march to get marriage equality…Keep Going!

Irony Lessons

 

Irony

One of the most well known quotes is “When you stop looking for it, love will happen” and it is a very well know cliche quote for a reason! I start writing posts about being single in a small city and then I meet someone completely unexpectedly  and although its all fresh and new it seems to be going quite well.

Starting the dating game all over again has been extremely interesting, and really hard at the same time. Over the past 30 years I have built up some serious walls and I have already had to express some of these as the guy I am seeing has been getting ‘upset’ with me as he assumed that I just didn’t like him. Which also made me question how cold and hard have I become exactly?

How much do you tell someone that you have just started dating, about yourself? There just seems to be certain things that have to said upfront/straight away. Like my issue of explaining when I am so guarded about my heart and myself. How I am trying to protect myself for being extremely badly hurt again. Why to him it seemed like I was pushing him away, when I really liked him but had completely forgotten how to let someone know this?
