boyst Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 There are definitely some angry folks on the wrong side of history, holding onto their rapidly-eroding status of being in the cultural driver's seat. If all you have going for you is that you're a white male - you need to work on yourself. It's not society's fault. All of that said - Cam is a moron. being a white male is no different than a Philippino woman unless you let it be. Gender identity is a social construct.
MJS Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Lots of dinosaurs here. Just like in real life. My wife was recruited out of college by IBM to be a programmer. She was the only female in the recruited group. Her entire career she was paid less than the men whose programs she would have to fix, because some of them were clueless. She was often not taken seriously because she was a good-looking woman. This behavior didn't make her real happy. In this thread, we see some with the same stupid attitude that she often encountered. When called on it, they lash out and call the rest of us feminists or something similar. It's all looked at differently by the dinosaurs when it's their wife or daughter that is treated that way. The dinosaurs are insecure, afraid, little children who can't distinguish between a macho idiot and a man. Exactly. They defend their right to belittle women to the death, as well. Good for them, but the rest of the US is hopefully getting smarter.
DC Tom Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Exactly. They defend their right to belittle women to the death, as well. Good for them, but the rest of the US is hopefully getting smarter. No one cares what you think. Go make me a sandwich, woman.
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Exactly. They defend their right to belittle women to the death, as well. Good for them, but the rest of the US is hopefully getting smarter. Always two sides of the story. I don't dispute what people say but true story always lies in the middle.

Good for them, but the rest of the US is hopefully getting smarter. "Political correctness" is an annoying, often counter-productive way to advance a laudable goal of increased respect and tolerance. But it is not, as some posters here (and many in society) think, a symptom of degrading moral standing or a societal loss of fortitude. It's just Grievance-Based Politics. Again, super-annoying; doesn't make us weaker as a people.

Again, super-annoying; doesn't make us weaker as a people. Fair enough. Agree. But when the best start taking a back seat, that's when problems compound. You can't over correct, over social engineer. You have to still elevate and look to the best as the right example in society, no matter who they are. Edited October 5, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois

Kelly the Dog Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Did she shake her head and dump you when you called Dan Manucci "the next Joe Ferguson"? No. But I did see Dan Manucci's parents at a bar in Scottsdale called Hightops, while Dan was playing in a Bills game, and they had the world's first camcorder taking Betamax home movies of a 12 inch screen up in a corner showing the game.
IDBillzFan Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Did anyone know Cam Newton was hawking Dannon yogurt before now? I didn't. Yeah, I noticed they run his ads a lot when I'm watching The View.

Coach Tuesday Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 It quite effectively divides the people though. I think intent is often lost in the mix, when it should be greatly considered. That's why I called it counter-productive! Which it is. But to long for the days when you could grab the secretary's a$$ or when Sean Connery's Bond wasn't afraid to "hit a b-" is just sad. Get on the right side of history, there is no going back.
DC Tom Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 It quite effectively divides the people though. I think intent is often lost in the mix, when it should be greatly considered. It also cultivates the whole "heroic victim" martyr mentality.
Coach Tuesday Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) It also cultivates the whole "heroic victim" martyr mentality. And that's what I meant by Grievance-Based Politics. Super annoying and counter-productive, both in society as a whole and within personal relationships (we all know a few folks who "carry their cross" around). It's the worst. But that doesn't mean the motives are bad - just the tactics. Edited October 5, 2017 by Coach Tuesday
eliteqb Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 It sounded more like she made a statement to me and look how smart I am to say such a thing. Had no trouble with Cam's reply and don't think she should be upset at all. I've played and watched football for over 50 years and wouldn't know how to make a sensible reply to that question. But the outrage fits right in with todays society. Just a tad thin skinned to me but hey we're all entitled to our own opinions.

The point is that this is a professional atmosphere and everyone is on the clock. Customers, vendors, partners, etc....all say stupid things at times. Responding condescendingly is extremely unprofessional.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Did anyone know Cam Newton was hawking Dannon yogurt before now? I didn't. He should just go to Yoplait.

YoloinOhio Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 @jamespalmerTV Dannon on Cam: The agreement has not been terminated however we will no longer work with him and are removing advertising with him in it.
