Yeah, but I make a point to use double negatives whenever I can, since it's such an important symbol of Dixie's national struggle against the Yankee imperialists.

It's funny, because I know many Texans who laugh at their stupid neighbors who refuse to speak proper English.

You want to be free of imperialism? Stop speaking English altogether. Speak Gaelic, or something.

Speak the Native tongue.

    You've already abandoned it by not speaking it right.

    For context, the people I speak of have lived in Texas since before it was a state. Many southerners are very well-read, and the stigma about them being bumpkins should end.

    Keep telling yourself that and perpetuating the ignorant South stereotypes if you want. It's a free country, except it isn't - and you aren't allowed to leave nor secede. Hotel California.

      LOL. Do you have specific plans? Or is that just a slogan without any concrete ideas like BLM?

      I'm'o run for Arkansas state House in 2024 on preserving our Southern heritage, and I have a few ideas on how to do that, but I won't waste my time detailing my plans to a Dixiephobe.

      Dixiephobe.

      No, I'm a retard-phobe. If you look at my history you'll see several posts about the War Of Northern Aggression and other things that prove I'm not a Dixiephobe. I'm Canadian but I've been all over North America and even lived in the South.

      Also, don't detail it for me. Draft it up, polish it, get it presentable, and put in online to share with your constituents and the rest of SaidIt among other places.

      If you weren't a Dixiephobe: you wouldn't slander our language as being "retarded."

      I am 100% positive that retards are not exclusive to Dixie, nor are double negatives.

      Not only are you tone-deaf but you are poor at debate when you get defensive and/or perhaps emotional. Study this list of fallacies. I think you mean well but if you're serious about running then you need to seriously up your game.

      More critically: Why are you going to run, what are the issues you stand for, and what makes you the only one to do it? Without these firmly planted you'll just have moveable goal posts to buy and sell.

      It's really demeaning when you tell me how to talk, instead of presenting actual arguments. It doesn't make me want to debate you.

      [–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      First, I'm not responsible for your feelings - you are. You may take all the offense you want but I'm not giving it. If you can't digest what I'm saying that's on you. Feel free to consult with other respectable SaidIt users about what I've said here.

      Second, I didn't tell you how to talk. I pointed out your double negative and also said, "It's a free country." ("Was", but that's a different matter.) Talk like Tom Sawyer all you want. I find it charming, except when it's confusing - and I find it irritating when it's fallacious or untrue. Because we're all human I aim to maintain compassion and patience.

      Third, while I'd hesitate to call this an argument, if that's what you mean, we can debate if you like. Pick your topic. If you mean actual facts, I've presented them - yet you continue to employ fallacies and diversions.

      Fourth, I'm not here to debate nor be defensive. I'm here to discuss ideas and share knowledge. You can too if you ditch the defenses. We need not see eye to eye on some things, but I assure you I'm not against you. I'm trying to help you, but I won't spend forever helping someone who fights me so often.
