Nope but losers in elections get to keep saying 'If the rules were different, we'd have won'. 'I refuse to accept the results of the election'. 'I think I'll start a riot'.
Except the facts do not bear out that police forces are institutionally racist. Not even kind of.
What IS a fact is blacks kill more blacks than any police force. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-t... vs https://www.washingtonpost.com... And bear in mind the police number isn't only a list of deaths, regardless of justification. So the number is REALLY small. (Sorry the dates don't jive, best I could do - but the point is there)
Which is a worse issue?
What IS a fact is that blacks have the highest proportion of children born out of wed lock. (a whooping 75%) http://www.politifact.com/trut...
But, nah, let's not fix any of that. Let's get straw man to blame it all on. Let's have less policing. I mean it works so well in Chicago.
I suppose it depends on your point of view. They SAY BLM doesn't stand for violence, but they do nothing to stop it nor condemn it when their protests turn violent...which happens pretty regularly.
Trump is working under the worst conditions a president has ever had. The media is all out against him from the get go, biased to hell. The left refuses to even acknowledged he won and is an impediment to progress at every turn.
Biggest bunch of babies ever. Please go to your safe space and never come back.
1. No she lost. Vote total is irrelevant. It's SUPPOSED to be that way. We are NOT a democracy. Why you libs insist on ignoring this is beyond me (well we do know). Also, you would campaign WAY different if you were going for total votes for electorates. Regardless, it simply is meaningless. Always has been. Always will. There were a set of rules. You don't get to say 'really, we won, because we are going to ignore the rules'. Well you can say it all you want. The rest of us will just giggle.
You've shown your ignorance facts by leading with that silly comment so I'm just going to ignore the rest of it.
And remember this always: Trump won. Hillary lost. Supreme Court secured. That's really all that matters.
On one hand, I'm happy to see a bunch of douchebags lose their websites and funding. These guys should be taken out back and shot in the head.
On the other hand...we've essentially censored speech we don't agree with. It's a very very slippery slope. I know, I know...THIS is so bad, so full of hate...
I'm just waiting for the next site that says something offensive. 'But that's just like the post the Natzi site did, even if the whole site isn't full of hate, it's mostly still bad. We should still punish them'. How long before this precedent is used on a conservative web site? (Cue the 'it should be' morons)
Censorship...it's either good or bad guys. The moment you start making exceptions, you become the very thing you're supposedly railing against and place way too much power..the power to control speech...into the hands of a mob.
The liberals don't care. They are on the side of 'right' therefore anything goes for their 'enemies'. They regularly have violent protests, but nothing is done about it. They regularly shutdown, unplug and prevent anyone from speaking anything they don't agree with - and nothing is done about it.
It's ok. They are 'good' and conservatives are 'evil'.
The difference is that Google claims to be a free speech zone - hence the town hall meeting that was ironically cancelled because people there don't really want to hear anything that they don't agree with.
Just as it is impossible to have a frank discussion on race, it's now impossible to have a frank discussion on gender.
Congratulation liberals, you've managed to suppress speech while claiming to be the poster child for it. The level of self delusion for half of them is incredible -'I'm making a difference!'. The level of smirking from the rest, as they accomplish exactly what they aimed for, is disturbing.
Make no mistake - it's always been about suppressing free speech. They hide what they do by calling it 'hate speech' or claiming that they won't 'normalize' it by discussing it. All code for 'suppress any speech that we don't agree with'. Just look at college campuses - shouting down, unplugging mikes or just flat out prevent the discussion for anything they don't like has become the norm. They are incapable of having a rational discussion on anything they don't agree with.
These are our future 'leaders'.
Seriously, if you can't understand just how big a threat this is to the country...it's the breaking of our very foundation.
Well you certainly are trying to prove it. Do you think your post has anything but trolling?
The push for diversity, as Marvel has found, can't come at the expense of your target audience. I would also counter than ST:TNG, Voyager & Deep Space Nine had no diversity problem at all - I wasn't a fan of Voyager but I loved ST:TNG & Deep Space Nine. You can bow to the pressure of these fringe groups, but they are NOT the ones that are going to watch the shows. Look at GhostBusters. They got exactly what they asked for (plus a shitty script) and...those very people failed to support it. That's pretty much been the story. Look at Black Panther & The Crew. Quickly cancelled because...no one was interested. No one reads comics for that sort of political crap. I can watch the news if I want that garbage.
The bottom line: It's about the money. If comics/movies about [pick your favorite PC flavor of the month] made them money, I PROMISE you they'd be all over it. If they come on with a solid stories and good acting, ST:D (HAHAHAHHAHA) will do fine. I simply have no faith the scripts will also not be a bunch of political PC BS.
The other death knell is hijacking it to their streaming service. I don't plan to watch it regardless of where it broadcasts but I certainly am not going to sub to CBS to see it.
I'll take our worst days over a great day just about anywhere else. That's the part you 'foreigners' keep leaving off. Yes, our system has it's issues. Yes we are going at it right now.
And yes...we still have more freedom than any other country in the world. You can't even MAKE statements like yours in half the countries in the world.
These statements are always made in a bubble - what country are you comparing us to? Yep, we're got a lot more turmoil...than China. If you'd rather live in China than the United States, please raise your hand. What? No takers? You mean you don't like having your internet & news utterly controlled by the government? what?
There is no way...repeat NO WAY I'm ever going to rely on electronic technology to make my gun fire. Not happening. The number of points of failure that would be introduced is laughable.
The first time one of these stupid 'smart' guns malfunctions and either prevents a gun from firing and gets the owner killed or IS fired by a child because people relied on the tech instead of teaching their child about guns/putting them out of reach, this shitty idea will come to a complete stop.
Show me some numbers to backup your statements. You're stating a supposition that the US compared to some unknown countries that have the same level of gun ownership (what country is that, anyway?) that there is a disparate level of violence in burglaries.
I'm not sure there ARE many countries that have the level of personal gun ownership we have.
Without some stats to back this up, I call BS on your statement.
Yeah..well...sorry..breaking into my house is a death sentence. They just endangered my family which I find totally unacceptable. They picked the wrong house - I'm well armed and I have no qualms about how old you are, why you are doing this, how you were an abused child, [insert excuse for being a douchbag]. Hope they said goodbye to your friends and family. Actually, I don't care. I'm way over the way we treat criminals these days - we're more worried about their rights than their victims rights.
Yeah, cause the police instantly started arresting people.
The people that got swept up had been there for a good while AFTER the rioting started. I'm really sick of the 'it was peaceful except for these 3 people.'. That's horse shit and you know it. That was a full on riot with a ton of people involved. Here's a suggestion: When the rioting starts, you need to leave. If you stick around with the crowds that are running around after being ordered to disperse...guess what? You're a rioter.

Excellent post.
I've always said: Flipping burgers is NOT a career choice.
You have absolutely no facts to back that up and we're hardly talking about $1 per hour.

It's hardly incidental. You've obviously not watched videos of those thugs protesting.

It's always been my issue with climate change stuff. Show me a solution that doesn't put us back into the dark ages and I'll buy right in.
Doesn't exist yet. You can't dismantle what we have _hoping_ the green-friendly methods will handle it.

*yawn* Like the ACLU isn't going to be all over this. There won't be any lack of defense.
I'm pretty sure the people that showed up with masks are worth investigating.
