9. Awe, jeez. You are one of the best and I'll accept anything (most) of what you do.

It's interesting how over the 15+(?) years I've been here, I recognize certain posters and just say "this is something I want to read." Your posts are part of these.

I learn so much from everyone and hope, in some small percentage, to add to the conversations.

Sometimes, maybe a bit later in the evening, I may just respond to vent.

Anyhoo - A great place to have some good conversations!

13. Shucks...



That's my approach, I learn a lot here and appreciate 95% of the conversation, even things I disagree with because I have to consider the opposing points.

I hope that when I say something that it's interesting at the very least, informative at best.

I went with what stood out in my head at the time. But your offering is just as valid, use at will! Alter if it fits.

Or this ..


33. This.. U.S.Rep. Barbara Lee' s words used in Merriam-Webster to explain woke

Merriam-Webster dictionary is using Rep. Barbara Lee's words to explain what 'woke' means
September 14, 2017 Tron Nick; brownwatch.squarespace.com




woke
1 of 2
adjective
ˈwōk
woker; wokest
Synonyms of woke
chiefly US slang
1
: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
But we will only succeed if we reject the growing pressure to retreat into cynicism and hopelessness. … We have a moral obligation to "stay woke," take a stand and be active; challenging injustices and racism in our communities and fighting hatred and discrimination wherever it rises.
—Barbara Lee

12. Old concept

Wokeness is a synonym for empathy.

16. Thanks for putting this so succinctly. And a big welcome!!!

I'm wondering if the psychological studies that show conservatives in general are lacking in empathy might have some bearing on their dislike of those that do.

This seems almost a more physiological/neurological problem than a political one. It's been said that the lack of the mirror empathy that normal beings (humans and other species) have that this leads to estrangement, inability to relate to others that are "different".

15. Propose changing K to Kindhearted

Knowledgeable and Educated kind of overlap, and this important trait isn't really captured.

17. Those idiots picked the wrong word to try and attach anything negative to.

Most people think it's a real good idea to be "woke".

What's the alternative, being asleep, unaware?? How is that a good idea? Does the GOP wants us to be unaware?

YES! They do friend, so they can rob you blind.

Welcoming

Seriously, though, if you can come up with other fitting words, by all means use them!

And share!
