    Either Neptune has a dick or he doesn't. Stop calling him trans.

  2. OK. I understand what you meant now. Does one guy/event make it a trend?

    I'll say that it doesn't seem to be just one guy, or just one event. There have been several attacks on Trump supporters. And that is from last year. Here is a newly updated list. It notes at the start

    Amid this backdrop, The Huffington Post publishes an article calling for the execution of Trump and “everyone assisting his agenda.”

    The situation has gone from beating - many attacks over many months - to shooting. We will have to see if it is the only one.

    The culture of dismissiveness relates to people saying sexual harassment isn't rampant or doesn't happen as much in the tech industry as people say. Despite article after article, complaint after complaint,

    about people telling jokes between themselves that others are not meant to hear. And rather than simply asking politely for the people to tone it down, publicly "shaming" them so they lose their job for telling a joke between themselves.

    despite all the documented evidence, people, yourself included, either make excuses for why it happens or dismiss the accounts outright.

    Actually, I stopped reading the rant at the above break.

    The problem with your argument is that now countries are decreeing that all content they disagree with must be removed from the entire worldly available web, not just the part of a website targeting a country or hosted within a country.

    So, it's fine you don't do business in China. But the analogy is if China threatened you with jailtime for your business practices in the US or Europe.

    Stupid comparison. More like:

    If somone used a chalk marker to write on the side of a set of purposefully designed windows which are there for writing on and is supervised by the manufacturer for inappropriate content already, and the manufacturer doesn't remove the anti-Semitic writing, THEN you go after the manufacturer.

    Social media platforms are not hands-off common carriers. That is as true for Facebook as it is of 4chan.

    Yep. Even Slashdot has started censoring our posts. Because someone might get offended by bad words.

    It's funny how much the left adored Trump when he was a New York liberal, backing Democrats for office. Now that he is trying to fix the ruin left by the last few presidents, he is 'insane'.

    It is. Just because you think otherwise doesn't change reality.

  16. I mean no offense but you missed HBI's original point, and my point as well.

    HBI's sig, as you quote, is saying that now leftists are specifically targeting Republican party members. Elected officials in this case.

    Your response seems to cloud the issue, mentioning that more Democrat officials have been killed than Republicans. My point was that in those cases I mentioned, the killers were fellow Democrats. So they were cases of leftists targeting other leftists. The victims were not killed for their political views.

    Showing that the Republicans on your list were also killed by members of their own party doesn't change either HBI's point, that now leftists are specifically targeting rightists, nor my point that previously leftists were the ones targeting other leftists.

    I agree with you. My wife can walk around the house, but we use a wheelchair at the stores/malls. Many times I notice the sports car with the tag hanging on the mirror, and think that those bastards don't need the space.

    But I live in Florida, so half the people have the tags. Can't do much about it.
