What the Fuck is Going On with Perceptions of Racism by the Left These Days?

What difference does it make?

Okay, Hillary

[DGuller]

Let's assume for the sake of argument Raz is right and that such people are delusional.

What difference does it make? Either they are suffering from a genuine condition, or they are suffering from a delusion. As far as I know, there is no evidence that this "delusion" can be cured by any therapy we know of (or at least I have never heard of any). In either case, the only "cure" we currently have is to physically change their gender.

Assuming that is the case, I see no real difference between calling it a "delusion" and calling it a "condition".

We can urge them to snap out of it.

Okay, Hillary

Don't get it.

Have you heard of a Benghazi attack?  I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't, Obama covered it up.

Malthus, I'd expect you not to buy into this false definition of "delusion."

Under that definition, gay dudes are just people who are deluded into believing they want to fuck men.

I assume it's because Raz and Spice either don't have or reject the sex/gender dichotomy framework the issue is usually discussed in.

Yes ... still don't get the Hillary reference.

Sadly, US political humour really is not universal.

I'm not.

If you read my posts, the point I'm making is that even assuming their position is true, it makes no difference.

That isn't the same as me believing their position is true.

Even assuming the sky is green doesn't mean green means blue.   I'm gonna quit before I get to grumbler levels of semantic argument though.

Many languages do not differentiate between certain colors on the visible spectrum and do not have separate terms for blue and green.

My bad. I really ought to have the minutes to the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings of years past memorized. Silly me.

  You asked for the context.  I've used the "What difference does it make" line multiple times here to successfully bait Seedy.

Yeah, yeah.  The still distinguish between shades.

I hate to tell you this, but rolling your eyes because someone doesn't get your inside jokes just makes you look like an ass.

The phrase "what difference does it make?" didn't originate with Hillary Clinton.
