Embrace your privilege!
« on: May 07, 2015, 12:23:08 PM »
I would like to think I hit the jackpot across the board, woohoo!

White straight middle aged male who was raised and have lived "middle class" my whole life.

Embracing my privilege has been liberating, try it!  :rofl:

Yes, I've reached the saturation point reading the mainstream media this morning. The left needs to drink a big cup of STFU.

You need to edit the poll so that multiple answers are allowed.

How do you make a poll accept multiple choices?

I don't get that option when in "edit poll".

Despite my overwhelming privilege it won't work!

Like Ron, I am disappointed (and disgruntled) at the limitation of having to choose only one privilege.

Also, the same for the lack of religion, political affiliation, matital status, veteran, color of neck (not to be confused with geographical location) and a host of other privileges I embrace.

I'd like to have you, as my Drill Instructor used to say, "do it over until we get it right".  (Which is attitude privilege in addition to veteran privilege.)

BSL - that stil leaves out privileges on my list.  Including the privilege of having multiple privileges.

stay safe.

And the folks just under that. However, being elderly is less privileged, so I'm not sure how that works and the older baby boomers are starting to get up there...

Basically, old or Gen X and younger are the poor, underprivileged minority.

I picked all but social class because I don't see the middle class as being the privileged in this country anymore.  To be privileged there you need to either have all of the money or none of it, those of us with some of it are the forgotten ones.

I was hoping CIS SHITLORD would be an option, but perhaps that is implicit in the choices.

Ben fixed it because I am a straight white male. Or maybe just because he likes middle class folks of all persuasions who reside in the suburbs. Thanx Ben!

Life is good =D

Just got back from 30 mile bike ride and then cutting the lawn. I hardly remember the inanity I read earlier that provoked my indignation and this poll.

I'm still embracing my privilege with pride and gusto though!    :lol:

Last time my cousin looked he was 437th in line for the throne of England, making me 438th.  Something to do with the bastard child of a Pope. 

Well, we were till those sex fiends started cranking out babies.

Doesn't even get me head of the line privilege at Long John Silvers.
