Cultural Appropriation

Well, that isn’t true, either. I have read your posts here for many, many years.

Also, you did say this:

If nothing else, I know that you view The Passion as “an act and circumstance that demonstrates the salvation of souls”.

I don’t know how true this is among the younger generation anymore. Though my thoughts are probably clouded by the Japanese who are online, and not the general populace.

I just started this the other day. Interesting learning about Segas early days.

wonderful! there’s hope for you yet. keep doing that

what did you learn about my religion/spirituality in how it applies to this thread?

woops. careful. that has nothing to do with my beliefs. thats merely an objective description about what it represents.

why do you still keep coming back to this?

No, it is not. There is nothing “objective” about that.

The Passion does not represent “the salvation of souls” to me - or to any non-Christians.

To me, it represents another Jewish man being sentenced to death for political reasons.

Because I am honestly trying to get you to understand what I’m trying to say.

Yea, that’s ridiculous. America’s a melting pot*, not an ice cube tray.

*Admittedly in that lukewarm lumpy Sterno is running out kind of way.

I think its difficult to know where the line is between appreciation and appropriation because such a line is very context heavy.

this is just a blurt of sentences unrelated to my point. i didnt ask what it means to you because that’s immaterial to your argument. remember now here’s your argument:

there’s “nothing objective” about that?

no youre not. youre trying to entangle my personal beliefs into your argument.

My “argument” is trying to make you understand why Native Americans might be offended when people dress up in “native Indian costumes at trick or treat”.

It’s a deflection tactic.

You’re making things needlessly difficult here.

i posted what the poster posted

hardly a deflection

dont forget your pom poms

what exactly am i making “difficult?

“things?”

by focusing on what my beliefs are? ha. yeah right

At no point have I “focused” on your beliefs. I have used your beliefs to analogize the beliefs of others, in an attempt to demonstrate why the beliefs of others should be respected.

All of my posts are here. I’m confident that a plain reading of them leaves little room for these deflections.

i was delighted recently to see my high school kept their indian mascot from when i was there and from decades before. more than i can say for my spineless college

it’s like they machine gunned middle fingers to the leftist idiocy who would object

Parts of discussions are in making things relatable. I.e. taking something personable as an aid for understanding something else.

In this case, it was the Sacred belief of Natives, and using your Sacred beliefs as the aid in understanding.

Instead of continuing discussion, with maybe a correction, you instead deflected with arguments of ‘you don’t know me’.

beautiful

Do you understand what the word analogize means?

You’re making my point for me.

my sacred beliefs have nothing to do with this

this is the mistake you all keep making

if you cant form a position without dragging in my personal beliefs then you cant make any argument

yes

you havent made any points

Eh, this is a waste of time.

I tried.
