What I take issue to is fuckwipes whining "I'm entitled to my opinion, free speech" as if somehow their free speech and their right to have an opinion is being challenged by people who disagree with them or think negatively of them. Assholes, it doesn't work that way.

Besides, the fact is that, since sea lions are apparently sapient in this universe, the woman was being blatantly racist.  Replace the sea lion with a black man and the whole thing falls apart.

Well, they are both sapient and a different species. Maybe negative generalizations about sea lions are entirely factual in this universe.

(I am not fond of the sea lion comic either, I know what the artist was getting at and it's like half of a valid point but he doesn't do a good job of depicting it)

So a random person butts into a conversation I am having and tries to start a debate that I don't want, follows me into my own home and refuses to leave despite my demands for privacy in my own home and somehow this is acceptable?

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Of course not.  But while the sea lion is definitely at fault, that's no excuse for the humans to reinforce their bigotry.

I think we are dealing with an incident where contact with horrible examples of a certain group intensify the dislike towards that group. Like if Westboro Baptist Church was holding protests against me every week in front of my house it would make me hate them even more.

best guess? eighties fashion, since the sixties' and seventies' look has faded from the mainstream these last few years. they were popular up 'til 2010. now, not so much.

There is an emergency plan for that. The fashion is picked out, but you've probably never heard of it.

Why does it seem most conservatives who support trump follow the pattern of being really willing to criticize but cannot handle criticism?

Because Donald Trump himself is like that?

Now now, Niam, the General has far more personality than Donald Trump and is far more likable.
