--- Quote from: Tova on 13 Aug 2020, 22:31 ---I don't see why you say that when Elliot and Renee have been through this situation, and things are not weird between them.

Haha, yes! Finally a sort of valid counter-example!
Tova:
Just to remind you, what I was pointing out was that things don't need to remain weird between Elliot and Clinton just because things momentarily got weird.
The comic you've cited is precisely the example I used to support my statement. It's not a counter-example.

--- Quote from: snubnose on 14 Aug 2020, 06:15 ---And by the way, the goal of the Nazis was to further victimize the jews. They became very outraged when they found out that people by vast majority instead expressed how bad they felt for jews when they saw people wearing these signs.

-snip- I have never even heard anyone claim that the "vast majority" of Germans made such gestures, or shared the sentiment - and the reactions of the German populace to the barbaric repressions, as well as their knowledge about their full extend has been a major focus of German historiography since at least the 1990s. Nor was I able to find anything corroborating your claim on the Germanophone interwebbertubes (I found metric shittons of evidence for widespread tolerance or tacit approval of the repressions, as well as for active support from ordinary citizens).
I look forward to your presenting credible evidence for your assertion.
More important would be the question whether the outrage that the "vast majority" of our grantparents' generation allegedly felt compelled them to discharge their ethical duty in meaningful, tangible ways. Six million victims of industrialized murder provide an exhaustive answer.

I would also be very interested in seeing snubnose explain this statement. It is AT BEST an incredibly irresponsible and inaccurate thing to state as fact on a public forum.

--- Quote from: Case on 14 Aug 2020, 20:21 ---One of the relevant categories of personal data mentioned in commentary is sexual orientation (pretty sure that trans/cis status would be considered the same way). It's related to the US concept of the right to privacy.

Basically, that's one of the reasons how and why Austria now has same-sex marriage. Before marriage was opened up there was "civil union* for same-sex couples, and same-sex couples only. Since you have to divulge the information about being married/in a civil union to your employer for social security reasons (among other), you had to out yourself. So, somebody sued, and won. Since "Homosexuality is still stigmatised, and as it forces you to give away sexual orientation" it was deemed unconstitutional.
Anyways, to me it seems once Clinton regains enough mental capacity to fully process this, I think he may give it a try.
