@of-the-mountain I am always put off when anyone uses the word "they" when describing people. I live in a multi-cultural area of south Liverpool. This includes many Muslims. Some are from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afganistan but also from Somalia and other areas of Africa. The place had and still has a reputation for crime but has been "cleaned up" to a large degree by Muslims who simply want a decent place to raise their families. Let us look at some of the generalizations that can easily be heaped upon Americans if we use "they" They, are insular, ignorant, racist, arrogant, religiously bigoted, corrupt and think that they have an overwhelming moral right to invade or meddle in any country they see fit

In all the years I have known her, she has never been racist in any way. Up to the point of unfriending one of her relatives for similar comments. On the other hand, nearly all, the bad choices she has made has been because of a guy she was with. I think that she is blinkered and in denial. She is insisting that these guys are not a far right group and that was just "locker talk". What I have done and will do, is give her my perspective and wait. The fact that she no longer lives close allows me not to have to meet with too her often. Btw the anti-jewish talk ceased when I told them that my daughter is jewish and lost relatives in the holocaust that they were saying was a jewish conspiracy.

Then those that do stop talking after the 1st or 2nd response. Nearly all of them a very beige, ie. "I love my family, walking the dog, eating out/in" or worse "fill in later". Lots of them have filters set either at their age or just 2 years older. Some, (who should take a realistic look at their profile) have them set at 10 -16 years younger. Nearly all of the horror stories you hear about internet dating. The ones that end up as a judge Judy type of scam, are from people who have dated out of their league. Someone who is probably younger and definitely better looking. This applies to both sexes. Brw. I just glanced at your profile and if we were on the same page of the map?

@Robecology A debate often has two counteractive points of view. This is not possible of no one is allowed to disagree. I have very few blockers but some of the other (and lets face it Male) members do. We are a broad church on this site. We can discuss a wide range of subjects. Some will be to your tastes and some not but when you block, you limit your vision. If all you want to do is talk about things we can agree on and small talk then block me and watch cat videos instead

273kelvin replies on Apr 19, 2019:

@Robecology "Bubble" is a fair description. Okay let us assume that as in TCorCMs case someone blocks just because of a trivial disagreement over musical tastes. How much potentially useful, interesting and engaging future content is lost to them? Moreover if that person persists in blocking over very minor disagreements, then their world view will naturally become more narrow. We do not increase our understanding by decreasing our potential input. Taken to its nth it does become a bubble albeit with lots of cat videos.

@LimeySteve I have learnt the hard way by my post that just because you believe something to be true does not make it right for you to say it. Yes I did believe that lady was punching above her weight in wanting a relationship with someone 10 years or more younger than her. Did that make it right for me to post it? No and that is why I said sorry and deleted it. There could be other things I believe to be true that it would not be appropriate to say. I could for example think that someone was a patronising, self righteous, judgemental, holier than tho, so and so, with their head so far up their own backside that they cannot conceive that they might ever have put a foot wrong themselves but that would be too rude and uncivil to post.

@Corvislover, @LimeySteve What posted was a picture of a not very physically attractive person or flattering photo, who was looking to have a relationship with someone 10 years or more their junior. I was wrong to post this and I have apologised for so doing. However I must say that how many of us have not thought this about profiles that we look at? if I were to say that I am only looking for a 32 year old heiress. You could quite rightly think "He must be joking". To call me judgemental is accurate, in that I did post this. Yet are we not all judgemental when viewing potential dates? We all have to say "Yes, no or maybe". To then go on and say that I am in need of psychiatric help because of this is judge-mental.
