Do you think it's okay to use this term?
Do you think that calling names is acceptable for adults?
Is insulting 70+ million Americans by using a derogatory term a normal adult behavior?
Is openly bashing people for having a different opinion something you enjoy?
I see this used here and elsewhere. It's pretty common.
I get that some people don't like the President and those that voted for him, but I would have thought that by 2025, our culture would be past name calling and ridicule because someone thinks differently.
I was wrong.
So if you use this term, do you see it's use as fine and acceptable?

Name calling is never ever right, but it never ever stops people.
It is too bad that it exists here, but based on some of the cruel and pointless posts that I have read about Canada, nothing surprises me any longer. And the majority of those that post those things about my country anyways, know absolutely nothing about what they are posting, it is all just taken from sites here and there.
Too many are acting like cows and just following then they should be stopping and thinking for themselves.
It used to be a fun site, but the past year it has been very volatile without anyone really considering how other readers may take the posts.
It is why I spend very little time here.

@Vikingswest1 It hurts so much, and I have felt like this for too long, about a year, and I am not alone.
We all have to share the world, and based on that, why can't we just get along?
When I think of my many trips across the border, and the fun that we've had, it literally brings tears to my eyes knowing that I cannot travel there safely now, and I wonder if I ever will be able to.
We have to realize that regardless of the borders that we reside in, on this site, we are all friends, and should be happy and respectful towards each other.
I hope that our conversation is read over and over and makes sense to people.

I don't know why you would feel unsafe.
That's too bad. I know many Americans got upset when Canadians booed our National Anthem and were very vocal in response but I think there is very little danger in coming across the border.
Do you think Americans are at risk in coming to Canada?
I don't.

Nicely said. In the age of instant communication, people have forgotten how to communicate. Politeness isn't common any longer.
Everyone is a warrior behind their keyboard and write things that they would never dare to say face to face.

This isn't about Trump or what he does.
It's about name calling at MyLot. And you're one of the worst name callers here, I might add.

I totally agree with you. I don't get all the hatred.

I agree. I have several issues with him but I feel he is the best chance to return America to superpower status with a strong economy, military and security. An approach to reigning in government and government spending, waste, fraud and corruption along with securing our borders.
It's been wasting away since Reagan. Bushes, Clinton, Obama, Biden... all the same creatures in the Uniparty.

I get that they don't like him, I don't get that amount of hate they have. It's distorted.

@Vikingswest1 I don't like everything about him, but why such hatred? Our country is so much better in many ways because of him.

I hate name calling if any kind.
Sadly, many people today are intolerant to the opinions of others. I don’t know how we can change that.

I don't know how to change that either.
The only way to resolve conflict is to talk about it. When talk is disrespectful, the conflict moves closer to war. First verbal, then...

@Vikingswest1 very true and that’s very worrying.

Your society is polarised so badly that your country will never ever again be the "United States"
It's gone beyond the point of no return
As for the name calling.
I've seen it from both sides on here since 2006.
But my question to you is this
What does the ts stand for
Is it terrorists
Or tw*ts

The whole point is that some think it's perfectly fine to use these terms in normal, unprovoked conversation.
I can be anass but only after the first volley has been fired.

Well I saw it used in a slightly more derogatory way.

If that is to insult people and bring them down of course it will never a good thing to do, its bullying already.

Politeness, understand, kindness and other positive terms never hurt anyone, mean so much, and don't cost a cent,

Polite and kindness usually disappear when politics are the subject.
Too bad, too. The only way to solve conflicts are to discuss them. When one of the discussion participants won't even discuss simply because you support the other team, it makes for a pointless discussion.
