Is there a cure for today’s victim culture? | Michael Ramsden

In today's world, there are definitely victims.
To ignore this and claim that victims weren't really victims and only want to "take advantage" themselves and therefore you make the victim the perpetrator. You therefore protect the actual perpetrators and deny the actual victims. This is obscene.
It's also contrary to Jesus' teaching, Kelly.

@suzianne saidAre you just going to say you don't believe in it, or watch it and tell me what you think? No one is saying there are not victims, that is not the point he is making, quite the opposite as a matter of fact.

@suzianne saidYou know of all the people here, your opinion would be the one I'd love to hear the most and I'm not kidding!

@kellyjay saidSo now you're going to devolve into the standard conservative claptrap that "calling yourself a victim is demeaning to actual victims"?
Are you just going to say you don't believe in it, or watch it and tell me what you think? No one is saying there are not victims, that is not the point he is making, quite the opposite as a matter of fact.
Not buying it. That's just an excuse to keep from helping victims.
@kellyjay saidYou should have started with not mentioning "victim culture". It doesn't exist.
You know of all the people here, your opinion would be the one I'd love to hear the most and I'm not kidding!
It is merely "trigger-word" code to activate the conservatives in your audience.

@kellyjay saidNo, I did not.
Did you watch it?
I'm not a conservative, Kelly.
I will watch this, though, and for one reason. I'll watch it with the stopwatch running and tell you exactly how long it took me to become offended by it and stop watching, because I fully expect it to be exactly what I've said it was. Conservative dog-whistling.

@suzianne saidThank you sister!
I will say I'm now 5 min in, and I am still watching it, and I'm not dodging this, but I need to watch it later when I can devote some attention to it. The guy tells a lot of "stories". I'll get back to you.
@suzianne saidHave you had time to watch it yet? If you did and hated it, you can share that, if you did and you liked it I'd like to hear that too. If you didn't I will stop asking, if you want no part of it. Don't want to be bugging you about something you don't intend to watch.
No, I did not.

@kellyjay saidPatience, Kelly. I'll need to give this some time when I am not busy with a zillion other things.
