Two posters have shown up who are eager for a race war, one on each side. They are ignoring each other to argue with the people who don't want a race war. How loving stupid is that.

What do they have to argue about? They both want the race war!

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

CNN is still saying gunfire and negotiations (which, I'm guessing if gunfire is involved - the negotiations aren't going that well) are being exchanged at the parking garage?

Yup, and El Centro College still has students and staff inside on lockdown. Presumably the shooter can't reach them from the parking garage, though.

That offputting devotion does actually seem to help them keep crowds disciplined when they attend protests.

If they, or a group like them, was behind this, that would be the absolute worst case. It'd indicate a bona fide racial domestic terror organization in the US, with the radicalization and discipline/organization needed to be able to actually execute it (ie carry out coordinate attacks, have a cell org structure that keeps them from being destroyed in the short term, etc). It'd be a mess.

I'm hoping its just a few angry shits who got guns and whom got lucky with their attack.

Like, I respect your desire to be comfortable in how you're addressed but some of us have to converse with hundreds of people a day. Coworkers though I will go out of my way to accommodate them because I mean come on, that's just common sense

No thats incorrect, They is pural and thus only works with pural antecedents. Then again enlgish is a living langauge blah blah blah its rules are a loving mess. I find it odd people avoid the genter neutral word "it" I know some ESL speakers who use a unversal pronoun that translate into "that one". When they have a brain fart.

if someone asks you to refer to them a specific way and you continue referring to them in a different way, it's obviously just you being disrespectful. even if you think it sounds stupid. especially if you think it sounds stupid. it's an incredibly small thing to comply with and if you can't throw that bone out to the people who do care how they're talked to then you're a jackass

The whole transistion thing can get alittle tricky I personally go by the epoch method, Bruce Jenner won the gold medal, and was in the TV show chips. Catlyin jenner is the woman who had the sucky reality tv show. If someone knows your old name and use it out of habbit, seems minor thing. If you change and dont tell people your old name then it should be simple to prevent.

I made a similar post earlier with more details, but putting down an insurrection in a country half way across the world as a non-native peace keeping force had a ton of logistical difficulties that aren't issues in a domestic insurrection.

"They" has pretty firmly taken on the role of gender-neutral singular pronoun. "It" has connotations of non-sapience.
