Two different worlds

Sensitivity training seems kind of bogus to me, like ethics training, I think people know what is right and wrong, and when they choose to do wrong it is for personal gain or spite, not because they didn’t know any better. Basically it is a way of punishing people, and often the people furnishing it at a profit are well-connected.

And here we are again seeing two separate worlds. I have to tell you I don’t see many cases of people having to do sensitivity training for insulting muslims, in fact I don’t see any. If this was the enlightened KBW you would be asked to submit this fact to the crucible, but it’s not, and I know what a hard time you have trying to find the sources for what you have read, so I will just dismiss it out of hand. There are cases where people have to undergo this silly sensitivity training, but it’s more for being rude to women or other racial or cultural groups in general, I don’t think ever for Muslims in particular.

I don’t think outside of the first world you find much sensitivity training, but since you don’t approve of it anyway, isn’t that a mark of their superiority?

For a guy who admittedly doesn’t get around you are pretty up to date about the jokes that you hear. Myself as a guy who gets around a bit more, I still hear as many redneck, blonde, and ethnic jokes as I ever did. I haven’t noticed any change in frequency over the last thirty years.

We hippies were never intolerant of straight people. I guess we might have told jokes about them, but surely less than they made up about us, but otherwise we had no power, we had no jobs to refuse them, we didn’t have our own police force to arrest them, we didn’t run around yelling at them: “Hey quit your job, grow out your hair.” I will be dismissing this charge out of hand.

Bundy was just a con man, wrapping himself in the flag to avoid paying the government money he owed it. The right got all excited about it because they love a guy on a horse waving the American flag while defying the American government, and if you throw in a bunch of bums with guns they get a hard on. The lamestream media (I have become fond of the phrase, thank you Sarah) picked it up a little bit because the Fox was roaring, but then when he said those racist things the right dropped him like a hot potato and the lamestream media which was never all that interested in him in the first place, did likewise.

I haven’t heard anything about him in weeks. No wait a minute, I think I have heard that the local gov is trying to get his armed and crazy yahoos out of town before they shoot somebody, probably themselves.

I think the reason the gov hasn’t moved on him is that they don’t want anything like another Ruby Ridge or Waco. He isn’t going anywhere and they can pick him up at their leisure once this all dies down.
