It's like verbal tap-dancing. They razzle-dazzle you with the footwork so you don't notice the inherent flaws in their arguments.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Oh wow, there's a whoooole thing about Aboriginal Australian kids being stolen from their parents and forcibly adopted into white families or white-run 'schools' that almost inevitably abuse them and treat them as slaves and consider it proof of their generic inferiority when they don't act the perfect child. It's called "the stolen generation", and the stories are horriffic. Children being ripped from the arms of their crying mothers by policeman and nuns to be shipped off to underfunded church facilities so they can be trained as cattlehands and/or maids, (depending on the gender), because that is the only thing that they could ever be good for and face the neglect and physical/sexual abuse synonymous with places like that, (irrespective of gender). A lot of these kids' parents never stopped looking for them, and the kids themselves had to deal with insane red tape and administrative dragging of feet to find their parents. Oh, and up until recently the government refused to apologize because of official Liberal party policy of "gently caress the loving abbos". YAY Australia!

BrigadierSensible posted:It's called "the stolen generation", and the stories are horriffic. We had a similar thing in Canada with the Residential schools. Worst part is that a large amount of Canadians (if not outright majority) think we've apologized for it "too much", even though the last one closed in 1996. I mean, it's mind-blowing to me that these hellholes were still in operation for the first decade of my life.

That lady is also a textbook example of how you can have a child/significant other/spouse of a different race, and apparently love them, and still be incredibly racist.

It's happened literally anywhere white people invaded native lands Not joking, it's literally What We Do. We invade, draw up contracts that say under OUR laws we own this land, then do it again for the kids. As long as we hide it under rule of law, it's organized, just, and ok, right?

StrangersInTheNight posted:It's happened literally anywhere white people invaded native lands Yeah, Mormons loved kidnapping Native American kids and sterilizing the girls. White people are trash. I'm sorry, POC. Back on topic: My old man called my phone today, even though I could swear I'd blocked his number. I declined, but I still got to feel the adrenaline get dumped into my system. I'm 39 years old. I have 100lbs and 5 inches on a 63 year old man, and just seeing him pop up on my phone still fucks me up. He hadn't tried to contact me in months after basically telling me I was disowned over text. I was almost convinced this was over.

quote:I apologize when I’m wrong. My son says that I said he was the worst father in the world in front of his kids on Christmas Day 2017. I don’t talk about it much because if I really said that in front of his kids, I’m ashamed and I’m sorry and do owe an apology. I don’t remember saying it but it was quite the terrible day so I guess it is possible, even though I don’t remember. I do remember the crying though. Even so, it really is only a drop in the bucket for my son’s reasons for turning on me.

Oh shut the gently caress up, Sleeveless. Have you just been lurking this thread waiting for another troll hook like the sad drama vampire you are? I don't agree with her approach, and I agree with her being de-modded, if she let that poo poo stand, but I don't think she's a malicious actor. You, on the other hand, come into a thread full of abuse survivors to intentionally stir poo poo up. So just gently caress off.

I don't venture into E/N very often (because it's bad), but on the occasions I did, it seemed I would constantly notice these bizarre, weirdly aggressive poo poo posts in various threads, then be surprised to see a Mod Star next to them. Almost invariably this was Bobbie Wickham. They were a poo poo mod for a long time. Maybe not malicious, but so aggressively incompetent and self-sure that there was little functional difference.

When respect is more about being treated fairly and equitably on both sides, which they then choose to perceive as a threat and/or insult to said authority.

I think it’s ten $30 lessons which is nothing considering the daughter got a full-ride etc. I’m glad the daughter appears to have the knowledge, support, and whatnot to deal with her lovely mom.

"You're the reason we don't have any friends" My father told me that when I was nine years old. And yet somehow, even though I haven't lived with them for thirteen years and have been no contact for seven, they still don't have any friends.

I got into a fight with my mom when I was a teenager when she forbid me from seeing my now husband to "keep me safe". To make me feel guilty for wanting to spend time with him, she screamed at me that she lost her virginity to her brother when she was 13. I have no idea what the gently caress that had to do with it. She's been holding a grudge against me the last few years because I refuse to go with her to visit him since he has a terminal cancer. I'll never be sorry for not maintaining relationships with child rapists just because they're family. I'm pretty sure he did things to me too when I was little but they gaslit me over that saying he prefers teenagers.

You just give them a bucket of money and they give you a baby, it's the whole reason they go that route. dont forget you have to give them a bucket of straight money. most countries wont adopt to you if youre gay. a lot of lbgt people use a beard to adopt especially from asia.
