What was your first face to face encounter with woke?

Mine was about 20 years ago at one of my last radio gigs. We had a Hispanic jock who got her knickers in a twist when I mangled an Hispanic name on the air. My reply that I don't speak Spanish was not persuasive. She filed a complaint (!) and I was written up for being culturally insensitive.

I promptly filed a complaint against the entire staff for their mispronunciation of my surname. It's spelled Kotowski, but is more authentically pronounced Kotofski. That no one does that across the fruited plain is irrelevant. How dare you disrespect my ancestry.

There were no more complaints about my Spanglish after that.
 
Mine first face to face encounter with woke was 16 years ago in high school when I was using the word fag’ot a lot whenever I got insulted in high school for being in special Ed in grades 4 to 8 and they told me that the fag’ot word is offensive to lgbt people and I was being homophobic.

Nice. The 80s had good cartoons like Transformers G1, GI Joe, He Man And The Masters Of The Universe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman And His Amazing Friends and Super Friends. Even there were great movies in the 80s like Terminator, Robocop, Predator, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Rambo, Batman and Ghostbusters even Star Wars Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back and Episode 6 The Return Of The Jedi. Oh and Beetlejuice too. Even pro wrestling in the 80s WWE was popular with Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior and Andre The Giant.
 
In just about every situation that can be mentioned in my life.
I've been a nurse for many years, have a gay Granddaughter, I'm a Libertarian politically.
I strive to see the view of all persons, but I think the woke hit me the hardest during the beginning of the pandemic.

That doesn't make you legit.
It makes you a redneck who is attempting to make himself know on this forum as one of "them".
By the way, where are you from?
Details?
You've joined us with several posts and no details about yourself other than what you believe about this or that.
And pardon me, but I've been here a long time and always question the newbs.

Who on earth is "them?"

You.
I don't think for a minute that you are a legitimate member.
I do believe you talk the big talk like others have in the past , you say things in order to appear acceptable for the way we see things on this forum.
If I'm wrong then excuse me.
It's not like I spend the majority of my time on here as I once did.
Go for it.

Just prove yourself.
Eventually I'll come around.
Maybe.

Guilty until proven innocent, in other words. Thanks for clearing that up. It’s unfortunate this board doesn’t appear to have an “ignore” feature, or I’d flush you into that sewer with the rest of the turds. But evidently that’s not “the way we see things on this forum.”

We do have an ignore feature.

Apparently it's not accessible to FNGs. I'll be sure to make use of it once it's available to me. Thanks for the heads up.

You've made some interesting posts IMHO. It would be nice if you did an intro post and told a bit about yourself. We are a fairly open political / off topic forum. Most active members have been here a long long while and they have seen all kinds of newbies who start out strong but fizzle away fast or start spamming etc etc.
It is tough being the FNG on an established forum, but time will get you past that if you stick around and post.

Interesting to you; all lies according to someone else. I have little patience for those whose default position is to sh!t on my integrity. Is this primarily a conservative board? I was hoping for some debate and I'm not finding any.

This is a mostly conservative bunch. And that trait includes giving the new member a chance to join in. Sorry you hit it poorly with PG but she is a long time member and quite respected here by most.

If you are impatient to get into debates, most here will wait until they know you better before challenging your points. That being said, I personally have enjoyed your posts, so far, and find mostly we are on common ground.

Personal insults are seldom acceptable behavior. Calling one of the regulars, or anybody for that matter, a "Turd" is frowned upon.
If you are looking for a fight, most here will hit ignore.
That said, bragging and scolding won't get you far here either.
 
Thank you Francis.
That's the way it goes.
I do not want to get into a thing on here.
I'll check back in tomorrow sometime.
You all have a good night 😴

You are quite welcome.

We are not Facebook. Respect and decorum are essential to a good experience. This forum never stoops to disrespect. One reason I like it here.
 
At least this forum is better than Reddit and straight dope message board where members can get banned for saying something offensive. At least this forum has freedom of speech unlike Reddit and straight dope message board.

We had a Brit exchange student in high school. He was a smoker, and we were pretty taken aback the first time we heard him say how much he wanted a fag.

You'd have been more that taken aback if he had said that he'd that he'd eaten a faggot for lunch. (It's a kind of offal meatball).

There are limits here. But they are mostly about respect for each other member.
Therefore, much of the discussions are useful to the members.


Reddit seems to be about whiners and losers somehow getting even revenge with their antagonists and other demons. Mostly fiction and,,,; A waste of good time.
