It's hardly "elitist" to advocate owning a bar.

Do you understand how many work full time jobs just to pay the rent and buy food? Not everyone can just buy a bar. Or a house, or a fancy car.

Yeah, this reply just show how elitist you perspective is.

The above post shows a lack of appreciation for the perspective
of running a business, & being responsible for far more than just
showing up for work, & performing tasks dictated by others.
One might call that a "minion perspective".
She wants to make the rules for a game she's never played.

I became "elite" by starting a business while still in high school.
Hey, look at me.....at twice my age (back then), she still hasn't
become "elite".

So you are saying that only those who have owned a business are qualified to be in Congress?

A bartender, a factory worker, a fast food worker just need not apply?

Changing what I said, eh.
That's one way to win an argument.
But if you want to understand my theme, re-read my post #118 & those following.

Let me ask you a question

Do you know what a question is?

It's standard to answer my question before asking one of me.
And it's bad form to use a question mark to excuse mischievous restatement.
Real questions are OK though.

I get the distinct impression that you don't want to discuss this.
You just want an argument to win.
Fun for you that may be, but it's tedious for me.

I don’t think you are an elitist. I do think you made an elitist argument.

You made an elitist argument in a desperate attempt to diminish the accomplishments of a brilliant young woman because you disagree with her politics.

Have you considered the implications of your objection?
This means that your standards of behavior are not merely
lower than mine....they're a lot lower.

You have yet to explain why.

What is uncivil about calling someone who you genuinely believe is a racist a racist?

What is uncivil about pointing out and challenging racism?

It would be like telling a stupid poster that they're "stupid".
That's not civil. And thus it is against the rules.

You're saying that calling someone who is a racist "racist" is equivalent to calling someone who is stupid "stupid".

So, yes.

In case you weren't already aware, being mentally impaired or uninformed isn't a choice, and isn't changed by throwing names at the individual. Being racist is a behaviour and attitude that should be called out.

Your equivalence is ridiculous. It would be like putting both the child who used a racial slur, and the child who called out another child for bullying, into detention detention because they both used "words to describe someone else".

Do you not see a difference?

Odd....I never said it....I don't think that....yet you're certain of it.
One with lower standards might say something uncivil to you.
