If what you write is your true sentiment, how do you reconcile your post from Tuesday Dec 10, 2019 at 9:26 pm regarding your use of Chinese knives where you say:GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 10:49 pmI would think that many people are offended by the Confederate battle flag and its association of slavery and the oppression of peoples of color.
Also let us not forget the genocide inflicted on the Native American peoples from whom this country was unlawfully taken so many years ago.
These are symbols of White European western expansion and the geocide of Native Peoples and should be banned without discussion.
To promote a group of old, white, slave owning, racists and misogynist men must upset a great number of members who do not benefit for a system of White Privilege and Male dominance that has oppressed women and minorities for hundreds of years.
Please remember; "If it offends ONE person, we should ALL be offended".
“I usually carry a Case trapper, a Leatherman PST (USA made only!) and for the dirty work a Gonzo brand Chinese copy of a Lion's Steel knife. I also will carry a real Lion's Steel folding knife, I just don't have that knife on today. I don't mind abusing the Chinese copy, I think it was $20. I think my real Lion's Steel folding knife was $200!”
Do you know how people are treated in China?
The problem with practicing what you preach, or maintaining a high moral standard, is it’s work. You tell people you care about oppression of peoples, genocide, symbols of White European western expansion and the oppression of women and minorities for hundreds of years, this means you have to do these things too.
But what if you just said you do these things, but didn’t? You get all the benefits of people thinking you’re a good and capable person, but you don’t have to practice any restraint. It’s win-win.
What say you? And what about your eBay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-3-BUDDH ... 4164238286 for 3 Chinese Buddha’s?
