Ignorance Is Bliss?

[roopower]

I have to say it and then I'm off. There has been what I take to be an offensive post about gender realignment which shows the poster, and some who have answered,  have as little knowledge or understanding of the human body, brain or mentality as the people they so gleefully lampoon who give wrong answers on a certain quiz show.

Are you offended for yourself or on behalf of others who you perceive to need you to be offended for them?

[pastafreak]

I think that post is typical of the divide on here regarding a lot of issues. People are often incapable of putting themselves in someone else's shoes. 

Please don't go completely 'off'.

Where will I find a pair of size 11 heels?

[Arksided]

Aren't you wearing them.

The AnswerBank is full of opinions - some of with which you will agree and others which you won't.

Admittedly TTT, being the bluff cove he is, delights in asking 'awkward' questions using the bluntest terms he can choose but the answers generated are, in the main, genuinely held and open up the debate.

[douglas9401]

Even harder to find them with steel toecaps, Arksided. 😁

Sorry to hear the debate is a bit too hot for you. Good luck in your future endeavours.

Roopower, you can't expect people to shut up just because you don't like what they're saying.  It's a topic worthy of discussion.  

[pastafreak]

I don't think roopower is expecting anyone to shut up...maybe just to educate themselves a bit before making what can come across as ignorant statements.

[naomi24]

In that case, pasta, rather than complain it would be more beneficial for the experts to stick around to educate the ignorant.

[Old_Geezer]

Or those who think they have expertise but just repeat views others had told them.

Naomi, it can get pretty damn frustrating on here when those who may be deemed to be on the wrong side of the fence as it were, will get continuous bashing and name calling from certain quarters. So withdrawing becomes the easier option. Heads and brick walls are painful.

[naomi24]

I know what you mean, pasta.  I often seem to find myself on the wrong side of the fence ... as in this case I guess.

[Peter Pedant]

yes roux you are  correct and you are alone

what about the looting thread - gormlessness personified

jeeeeeeee- zuuus !

[Peter Pedant]

It's a topic worthy of discussion.  

what with pithy arguments such as....I didn't make an issue out of it, Andres.  You did.  

yup OK. no wonder roo has gone off

Well I identify as a dolphin if that helps
