When I was growing up a stone's throw from Queen's University in Canada circa 1990, some dumb male students thought it would be funny to show up at "No Means No" anti-rape protests with signs saying "No Means Yes", "No Means Harder", and "No Means More Beer". Few if any, understandably, came to their defence over that part. But I bring it up because when people *talked* about the incident, they started *adding sign names* that were considerably worse than the actual ones: "No Means Kick Her In The Teeth" and "No Means On Your Knees, Bitch". This was just stuff that people made up and circulated orally - but it prejudged people to think of the students as far worse than they actually were, as brutal and sinister misogynists rather than just dumb college kids making a stupid and possibly hurtful joke.
Likewise, as far as anybody's been able to tell, there is not one documented case of anti-Vietnam-War protesters spitting on soldiers, despite a persistent oral tradition to the contrary. Myths about protests circulate widely, and it's very helpful for people like you to call them on their bullshit.
by an "Open Mind" i intend a noble honorable aspiration to self improvement, not at all a licence to gutter smut or a dive into a bottomless pit; hence as well i must embrace a modality of progress by dialog & concrete incremental dialectic , both as conceptual cognative and as materialist historic struggle...(with apology for cumbersome clumsy retard composition grammar/vocabulary)
why would you belabor such inexhaustable ambiguity ? "Jews not allowed.." not allowed what ? ¿to pee on the lawn? ..on the pavement?
...without a permit?
... to show up with a wrathful firebreathing Deity explicitly invented to Choose Jews out of all mankind for impunity against charges of crimes against humanity while they assinate as many Palastine babies as possible to prevent their mature capacity to resist or evade assination?
N.B.
I obviously choose provocative hyperbolic rhetoric to provoke a similar level of denounciation, condemnation and disgust against my own bias, which i see emerging from a sense of decency and basic human empathy , but against which I also appreciate negative reactions; just as I embrace an attitude of Militant Hard Core Agnostic respect for possibilities at odds with Dogmatic Rational Materialistic Empiricism to acknowlege an unlikely possibility that Judeo-Christian pseudo-civilization with its dismal history or persecution, repression, exclusion & intolerance (among other woeful shortcomings) may indeed represent the highest ascent toward Truth Beauty Justice Peace and Mercy which our species will or can exhibit before our likely near term disappearance by ecocidal Hellscape Extinction...

The most-correct date format is ISO-8601's YYYY-MM-DD, with zero-padding (2025-09-07), because that's what sorts correctly with a string comparison.
The one true date format.
Thank you for this.
