Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her

Well, I heard old Neil put her down

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow

I get that you were a kid when you first heard it, but it's absolutely all laid out in plain English. They even referenced the song itself.

Bro I was a kid and didn’t know what “Southern Man” even was, either, and the concept of a person from the south isn’t exactly unique to the song by that name.

Christ, you’re an asshole.

I'm not criticizing you for misunderstanding it as a kid. You're not a kid anymore. You just said, as an adult, that the only reference was a single line with the word Neil in it. That's wrong. If you can't handle being corrected when you say something wrong maybe the internet isn't for you.

Oh I’m so sorry, it was four lines back to back and three of them were just saying his name. Will you ever forgive me? Please, your admiration is all that I crave!

I know that you’ve never missed something small that you frankly weren’t paying much attention to in the first place. Teach me your ways, enlightened one.

Step 1 is to want to learn instead of getting defensive and acting like a douche when someone tells you something you didn't know.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I already learned, I know what the song is about now and I not only knew it long time ago but I literally had already said that. You aren’t teaching anyone anything, you just tried to mock me for not knowing something.

I hope you find, one day, something kinder to fill that gaping hole in your personality. This ain’t it.

You're teaching me a lot about victimization complexes

I think I’m gunna follow the example of the smarter people in your life and leave this conversation. Peace out ✌️
