You suppose since the bulk of his material is about one person, that he would ever have the decency to thank him for assisting in his gain to notoriety and further wealth? One might think, taking that into consideration, he most certainly should also vote for the man. That way he can continue his success, at the others person's expense...

As a massive lover of Doggies, most animals really. This just doesn't appeal to me at ALL! In my opinion, it further illustrates that some people just have too much money.
I don't really give a shit what my Dogs dna is,I know they are MUTTS, good freindly,mutts.

Lyrically speaking, a beautiful song as suggested by the twins. I was sincerely shocked that my wife knew it, cause I had NEVER heard of it, myself.
Nevertheless, just another thing hi-jacked by someone to use to keep sowing the seeds of division. With those in charge declaring this may become the norm in ALL sports. Sports will no longer be a uniting activity. Especially, as far as I'm concerned. The B.L.M. car, in NASCAR!! 😖 Thanks NASCAR for allowing division even in the sport that has been mocked as a racist sport. That pisses me off so badly, I can hardly see straight.

The United State is home to 5% of the world's population but 25% of the world's prisoners. In 1972, the United States had a prison population of 300,000 and 2.3 million, presumably in 2016. WOW!
I firmly believe that a vast majority of the problems in our society stem from the home. The fact that so many blindly excuse self control and personal responsibility, and the lack of teaching those principles to their children. The constant blaming AND acceptance that it's always someone else's fault as to why people are bad. The INSISTENCE of taking personal responsibility and control of one's own actions, destiny, is just TOO much to demand from our society. The whole mess could EASILY be solved by one very simple statement...
QUIT BREAKING THE LAW AND RULES ASSHOLES!!

CANADA'S National prohibition (a temporary wartime measure) WAS from 1918 to 1920.
It's a funny thing, there are several members that shoot barbs at her and she uses that/justifies that to insult me. I have no idea what prompts her but I'm tired of it and I'm tired of seeing her refer to me as a "bitch". If she feels that way it would only seem logical and if she had an ounce of common sense, that she/we could avoid each other. It's obvious that she has no common sense so I made the decision for "us". With one tick of the box, POOF, she's gone!

The old bag made it easy for me yesterday. She called me a "bitch" one too many times and enough is enough.
Thanks for the 4th of July salutations, it didn't seem like 4th of July to me, oh well! I hope you has a good time, it was hotter than hell on my side of the state because of the humidity. Between the beer and the Benadryl, I slept like a baby!

The cops said the eight yr old should have had a gun to protect herself.
I would be naive to think shit don't happen in Michigan, but the only big thing I can remember that made it to one of these programs was the murder of Tara Lynn Grant, about 10+ years ago.
Where I'm going with this is that a number of these programs feature crimes that happen in Pennsylvania. I think the murder rate is higher in different states, it just surprises me that the State of Pennsylvania is frequently highlighted.
In 2018 Pennsylvania was 14th and Michigan 18th.
In 2017 Pennsylvania was 21sth and Michigan 22nd.
But in 2014 Michigan was higher at 15th and Pennsylvania 20th
There is not not much difference really. Maybe Pennsylvania murders are more 'interesting'.
If you ask me, I think a truck load of crazy crap goes on in New Jersey.
Don't forget about the HUGE population of Hillbillies.

A success story from a drop out
My guess is that pictures (like movies and songs) are the most popular when they are first released. Unless admin has a page of PICTURES WITH THE MOST VIEWS, I can't imagine his picture generating large numbers of views at this time because it is buried within his extensive gallery of pictures.

Rewind back to June 28, huxley999 and JustWill are having a spirited discussion in kebmo's Trump thread, poking their stick at an angry Ari aka SrCums and SrCums writes this;
"OK, hotpussy... I was upset but now after time I realized it was not the right thing to do based on my moral codes. I compare my self to you and realize I am better to love than to hate... For if I spend my points trashing your page then I wasted the time I have on this earth for love and unity... I don't expect you to understand this.."
Do you notice that he refers to his "moral codes" and the blah, blah about love and trashing huxley999 's page. FFS, his moral codes won't allow him to use his points to trash a member's page so his moral codes say nothing about sending in his fuck buddy, Love2show2 , to trash huxley999's page. Okay, I'm paying a "wellness call" to huxley999 and I see his page trashed SO I load 6 😜 brat faces on and post a message on huxley999's wall saying, "SrCums/arir39, YOU are crazy and full of hate. What a pathetic mass of flesh you are." AND this message was directed to huxley, "Looks like SrCums true colors are showing. His heart and soul are indeed filled with HATE.". Yes, I posted two anonymous messages on SrCums wall because the weak ass man blacklisted me and that's the only way I could post and call him a FRAUD. I'm surprised that he hasn't claimed I'm attacking him because he is a Jew.
As anticipated, SrCums circles back to huxley999's page and deposits one negative gift but I give him credit, he had the balls to do in his own name. And from there, the angry little man lit into me calling me a fake, a fat bitch, a liberal.... Whichever you slice it or dice it, Arir39, Godzillas, SrCums, IS an angry little man. And if anyone has ever noticed, the angrier he gets, the more stoopid shit he's apt to say.
Peace out.

Did you know that the biting mosquitoes are the females, and they do in fact have a preference of blood type? Perhaps you are more susceptible. I would recommend a dusting of deep woods off on your exposed extremities before going outside. Few days ago I attended a birthday party for one of my grandchildren that was at a pavilion in a local park. To my surprise, I sprayed my legs and arms with it and managed to come home unscathed. 😁
we should also continue to ignore the racial strife in the United States being primarily perpetuated by whites and or those suffering from white guilt and rich blacks
Because it doesn't do any good.

Instead! (Just FOR one particular lily white member) Let us continue the discussion about face coverings ("masks") due to a virus that was either purposefully released by or accidentally released by/from China(that make you feel better? You know who you are).
Quite the quandary here, and I sincerely mean that!
So...
In one breath, there are those (I won't point out which kind/type of people) that say, "black people are MORE likely to have severe repercussions/reactions to the virus, up to and including death in most instances". Yet, one of the biggest liberal/Democratic run cities in our country, (unno, the kind that claims to care the MOST about black people) has just declared face masks as a REQUIREMENT out in public for WHITES ONLY.
Now I ask you...
Since one can interpret this either way, TRUTHFULLY speaking (see what I did there, truth ALWAYS prevails over facts), what do YOU make of this? Is there ANY racism involved in this decision?
Your first paragraph, as you're so keen on delineating between fact and opinion, is exclusively your opinion.
Your second paragraph (congratulations) is less racist than usual. However, I would also add that some think it's likely that Covid 19 had a zoonotic origin. If that's so it was neither "released" purposefully NOR accidentally.
I've Googled "US city requires face masks for whites only" and all I could find was the story about Oregon County. A fact-checking site puts that into context.
only registered users can see external links
The key summary is as follows: "In sum, while it is accurate to say Lincoln County officials in June 2020 established a rule that required people to wear masks with an exemption for residents of color, authorities were not going to enforce the requirements, and the policy was later changed so that all residents — no matter their race — must wear the facial coverings to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We therefore rate this claim as “Mostly True.”"
Being truthful: it's clearly more nuanced than you have made out but, in my opinion, the lawmakers were fucking stupid (and borderline racist) to include that exemption. My opinion would, I guess, be pretty much the same if it's NOT Oregon County but some other place.
I hope I've been both honest and even-handed.
In an effort to understand, and witnessing some of the things going on in our country right now, and coming up with nothing, other than politically motivated. I stated the above to hopefully open up a dialogue on the matters.
To put it simply, I'm not subscribing to the whole "systematic racism" bullshit, or any other buzz words that some like to throw around, like "white privilege" or "black oppression". It's all racially incendiary and used to continue divisions between our races. 2020 is NOTHING like it was in 1980, we have come a long way and those still screaming racist and racism are more likely the same ones that are actually the racist. Whether it be agaisnt blacks or whites or any other race, there should be no divisions, period! We should absolutely all be Humans, Americans, Children of God, Citizens, Mankind whatever you choose to combine EVERYONE into. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone has the same opportunities to achieve greatness and or success in this country. It's been done repeatedly time after time by all races for a very long time. Taking personal responsibility for ones own destiny. There's a novel idea...
As much as I would like to take credit for it, some of the things cited above were actually spoken by someone else. I heard it and believe there is quite a bit of truth to it. So, to say that it's uniquely my opinion would be incorrect. Sorry! I guess I should have cited the source. But alas I didn't, because I don't want to come off as using him for any advantage.
I do believe, in my heart, that your response was honest and even-handed, and for that, I once again applaud you and appreciate it. Also for pulling more current data, last I heard of that, was a few days ago. Guess someone saw the err in their ways...
Where we differ: systemic racism DOES exist. Ignoring that will not help heal divisions, but will perpetuate them.
I don't say I agree with every syllable but this puts it pretty well (for the US in particular):

I'll acknowledge that I hold some of those prejudices/stereotypical views referred to in the video. Acknowledging that is a good first step. To assert that a white 17 year old growing up in Palm Beach has the same life opportunities, and ability to achieve greatness, as a black 17 year old living in one of the rougher parts of Chicago is (in my opinion) both incredibly naive and, also, unhelpful in addressing your Nation's problems. Before you jump up and down, that black kid COULD achieve greatness but he starts from a different point that makes it more difficult. If you can't see that, I'm puzzled.
Never apologise for quoting something you agree with - that's fine.
Here's one for you: you seem to be acknowledging that race relations, in the US, were not perfect in the 80s. Is it possible, despite your misgivings, that they are STILL not perfect in 2020?
You may vehemently disagree with the way people are addressing these matters now, but I would contend that there are still matters to be resolved. The modus operandi employed to address those issues, we can debate. To shut it all down and say "There's no race issues in the US anymore, stop whining" is, in my opinion again, wooly-headed.
PS. Joe Biden, for the length of his political career, has achieved very little and would probably be a mediocre POTUS, at best. I should post that elsewhere but I'm venturing out for the afternoon!!
All Men equal?
If that is the true goal, then why is it that the white people's heritage and history are suddenly taboo but black heritage is ok to be public?
Case in point,in North carolina a confederate statue was the subject of a protest recently,all the while a Martin Luther King statue stands RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD from it,with no protesters,no vandelism.
There should be no contraversy of EITHER if all men are to be equal and accept each other as they are.
Until everyone can accept each other as individuals and equals and learn tolerance of the faults they find,racial strife will be a forever problem.
I may be a odd person,but I was taught to respect others peoples property and not to damage it.And honestly,I have never had a true desire to hook a chain to a statue I didn't like and pull it down.Now that is not to say that damn atm machine that pissed me off a feew years ago didn't about feel the wrath of a chain,but that is another story.
NO one should want to damage things that don't belong to them.Apparently they were not raised with much morals.
Do I need to point out that statues are a celebration of someone or something, and that there's a considerable difference in giving that honour to a guy who fought for Civil Rights (and equality) and giving it to a General who fought on the side of the Confederacy (the pro-slavery side in the Civil War)?
The colour of that heritage is barely relevant. One fought for equality, the other fought to preserve slavery.
I don't (before you start frothing at the mouth) personally agree with violently tearing down statues. There should be an open discussion about the merits of any particular public monument. You can then, as a society, decide whether it's still appropriate to honour individuals in that way or whether those monuments belong in a Museum, where the full, nuanced history of that individual can be put in context. Heritage doesn't need to be destroyed - it needs to be remembered in the context of the history of that time. However, monuments that offend a significant proportion of any society need to be questioned.
How do you think the average German Jew would feel if there were still statues of characters from The Third Reich in their public places?
I agree with you that you shouldn't damage things that don't belong to you. On the other hand, I don't think that you should have to walk through your own town/city and see statues honouring people that enslaved, or murdered, your great-grandparents.
Now, let's get into this...
I'm glad to see that you do not agree with every syllable used in the video you provided, in an attempt to show me how "systemic racism" is keeping the white knee on the throats of black people. The video itself, produced by a white person, which immediately says what? Are white people the keepers of black people? Are black folk just too uneducated to speak for themselves? So some preachy white guy attempts to explain why he believes the black man is being oppressed by whitey. Oh the irony there!
Let's get this straight! "Stereotyping" i.e. black people are good at sports, white people can't dance, asian people are good at math, etc. I could go on and on but I won't. These are racist connotations, according to you and some others, right? Yet, for the argument of "systemic racism" it's OK to suggest that all black people are poor and oppressed. smh
Please, don't be puzzled. I never once said America or Humanity was perfect. There is NO such place nor person alive that can fit that bill. And I hate to break the bad news to you, there will NEVER be either! People are not robots, there will forever be degenerates in any given group or portion of society. Yes! There can even be racist black people. So to answer your question from above, sure there are still some issues even in 2020. But they certainly don't rise to rampant or widespread status. There was a terrific moment of unity following the death of George. If you had to assign a percentage what would you say? At least 98, 99% of American's, the world, agreed that what we saw was evil, outrageous, uncalled for? This oh so racist society agreed that it was wrong. Well, if there was so much racism within our society, why is the percentage so high? Shouldn't there be 10, 20 % celebrating the death of George and the lauding of the policeman? The United States managed to vote in a half black President. How could this happen in such a racist society? I assure you, the black vote was not enough to accomplish such a feat. Anyway, the race baiters, anarchists, and some others reared their ugly heads to ruin the moment instead of using it to give some sort of positivity to the mans death.
For every single modern day atrocity committed against a black person by a white person, and equally offensive act can be shown committed by a black person against a white one. I know, I know, I'm not allowed to say that. Afterall, whitey probably had it coming to them, right? Point is, we can go tit for tat till the end of time on the matter. What makes one races sins any less significant as the others, OR more significant than the others?
So, your example of the two 17 year olds... Yes, it may be easier for the one over the other, absolutely! But, he still is able to become accomplished, no? According to most of these things you are presenting, I must be black too! I've personally experienced many of the same issues. I've been denied loans, I went to a public school, once, I nor my family could afford college, I've been denied jobs for being the wrong color, twice, I've been racially profiled and harrassed by the police, and I'm not even upset at it, cause I get it! Do you? I've been evicted from my residence thanks to racism. Guess what! I must be black too! OMG! Perhaps these things are just excusable, cause afterall I'm actually white. I wasn't born with the so called "white privilege", whatever the fuck that is supposed to be, perhaps you and several others around here were, which would actually lend creedence to the whole "white guilt" thing but I wasn't. We were very poor often struggling to even eat when I was a child. I cannot tell you how many mayonnaise sandwiches I've eaten, because that's all there was. The ONLY privileged thing I ever got was the private school education that was given to me and many sacrifices were made to make that happen. Imagine attending a predominantly white school, where most of the kids are wearing nice clothes and shoes, and the only clothes and shoes your parent can afford are from goodwill. Now, I'm certainly not looking for any sympathy, but it is my opinion, that what we are/should be discussing here, is more in tune with financial inequalities rather than systemic racism. Class warfare?
There were SO many things in that video that can be shredded, and I've already written too much here, I just can't continue. Thanks for the video, if that's the proof off "systemic racism" I'll pass, it doesn't prove anything other than ANY race could actually fall into those situations. You don't find it a little disparaging to portray black people like that?
Unfortunately, I'm going to be pretty busy over the next few days (Foodbank, visiting my elderly father, and dealing with the Estate of my late aunt) but I WILL give you a considered response when I can find some time.
Had a great afternoon out and about, cheers. Hope your weekend was fun.
I actually stumbled across a video I would like you to see.
Like YOU, I'm not necessarily clinging on to everything being presented within the video. I have somewhat differing arguments that this video does not explain. That being said, I still believe that the video is worth watching as many of the points are valid as to why "SYSTEMIC RACISM" is nothing more than a political talking point or a tool to keep us divided as humans. I watched the video you provided to me no less than probably 3 times and would sincerely appreciate you returning the favor of at least once, in it's entirety. 😉

I heard that a bunch of lowlifes called the Police down in Tampa, claiming that someone had been shot and was laying in the street. When the 9 officers arrived, they discovered that the call was bogus, and then they were attacked by the group of thugs. I hope that your Son doesn't experience such a vile act. I'm not sure how far away that is from you guys. I sincerely hope he and many other Policemen stay safe from such pieces of shit in our society.

I live in a city of 100,000 and we have had 35 cases since the beginning, 34 of whom have recovered and one is active now. Nowhere is it required for me to wear a mask. They are the exception, not the rule. For that I feel very lucky.
It's peculiar to hear some folk's spin on wearing a mask. Our local store(s), ie Kroger, post to wear a mask. Some folks seem to have the "fuck it" attitude and will not comply. I overheard a local merchant, who was doing her grocery shopping, being boisterous on the matter. It was amusing to overhear her rationale regarding her "right" not following the posted "order".
To the original poster, ANGEL1227 of this topic...
There sure were a lot of "egotist" out "mostly peacefully protesting" that you are calling for the arrest of. Can we use video and other sources and gather those law breakers up and still incarcerate them, even after the fact?!
Perhaps incarceration is too much, but, when you get stopped for a traffic infraction and given a ticket, you are being arrested. Yes, I say find these people and issue a stiff fine of $100 or more to each and everyone identified. If you are going to demonstrate (bitch) about something you feel so passionate about take your chances and pay for the law breaking. I understand it's optional. I just don't understand
These super citizens damned and determined to enforce such a thing upon others, should mind their own fucking business.
This statement shows how little regard this poster has for other fellow citizens, especially since he himself says it's mostly for the protection of other citizens. What can you expect from a Trumpster. To him and his like it's always about Big Brother dumping on the little man. Maybe if they would take more time to help instead of bitch this country would be in better shape
AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, IF I WAS STILL WORKING AND YOU TRIED TO ENTER MY OFFICE OR WORK ROOM WITHOUT A MASK YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN REFUSED TO DO SO
MIAMI – As Florida passes a tough milestone for coronavirus cases, several South Florida mayors are getting tougher with their mask mandate.
On Monday, hours after the state surpassed 100,000 cases of COVID-19, the mayors of nearly a dozen cities in Miami-Dade County announced that they will be requiring people to wear face coverings in public.
“We are going to be implementing a mask-in-public rule,” City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said. “Everyone will have to be wearing a mask in public.”
The cities participating in the mask mandate include:
Miami
North Miami Beach
Hialeah
Miami Gardens
Aventura
Key Biscayne
Biscayne Park
Pinecrest
West Miami
Miami Shores
El Portal
Their directive differs from the countywide order that says people must wear a mask indoors in public places but only outside in situations where you cannot practice social distancing to remain at least 6 feet apart.
Imagine that. Mandatory
Imagine my surprise when our governor shut down liquor at bars. Other governors and several cities requiring mask in public. Didn't they read your post?
Albeit you are 100% correct, you forgot ONE teenie tiny little caveat...
If said individual trying to enter such an establishment, EVEN with such a posting prominently displayed, is black, you CANNOT and will NOT deny them entry. That, you can take to the bank!
I took my Son to the local Goodwill, he likes to search for antiques. He entered and within minutes come back out and grabbed a facemask from the car. He said the woman told him he had to WEAR it or he wasn't welcome. Ok... As I was sitting there, two more people tried to get in, also not wearing masks. Both came right back out within minutes, one retrieved their mask from their car the other left. Black lady pulls up, gets out her car, no mask. She goes in, I expect to see her shortly, nope... Turns out the worker did in fact say something to her but she began to get loud and make it out to be racially motivated. In which case she was allowed to continue shopping.

Similar situation with a mask,a hanky over your nose is not going to stop much more than a golf ball as far as a virus is concerned.
N95 mask packaging has a label or verbiage indicating protection down to 0.3 microns. Microns are small
– 1 millionth of a meter. Pollen particles are often 10 microns or bigger. Bacteria are often about 1
micron. COVID19 has a diameter of approximately 60–140 nm or 0.06 to 1.4 microns.

OF course they can't come out and say not wear 1.But it clearly states,◾cloth Will not protect the wearer against airborne transmissible infectious agents due to loose fit and lack of seal or inadequate filtration.
N95 from another source, it is NOT designed to filter OUTgoing air. Only what goes in.

Trump's post-Covid bubble is popping
Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
Updated 1:22 AM EDT, Fri June 26, 2020merica's single worst day of new coronavirus cases obliterated President Donald Trump's fantasyland vision of a post-Covid America -- even as he sowed new diversions in an effort to hide the reality of his leadership void in a deepening national crisis.
More than 37,000 new cases of Covid-19 were reported on Thursday, according to Johns Hopkins University data. The numbers superseded the previous darkest day of the pandemic, on April 24. The new data suggests that the sacrifices made by tens of millions of Americans who stayed at home, that cost many of them their jobs, might have been in vain. It also suggest that the aggressive state re-openings championed by Trump, who wants a quick economic reboot to boost his reelection hopes, exacerbated a situation that now seems close to tipping out of control across a swathe of southern states.
WE TOLD YOU. CONGREGATE. DON'T USE MASKS. ALL THAT EFFORT, ALL THAT PAIN, FOR NOTHING. WELL, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE "OPENING OF THE COUNTRY, 1st TIME." ASSHOLES

After all, it is the truth in "my world". Just MY OPINION, we need to be cautious about speaking the truth because it can reveal just how insensitive or stoooopid we really are.
In the case of the ugly baby, either don't acknowledge the baby or say, Well he has your eyes! or something like that.

As regards his response to the pandemic, there is now no argument against the proposition that El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago is a world-historical barbarian motherfcker. Some of the malfeasance and nonfeasance for which he will be remembered can be attributed to his own uniquely corruption and his own towering incompetence. But his response to the worst public health crisis in a century is of a different order of magnitude. Historians of the future are going to rank him in this regard with Genghis Khan in Persia, King Leopold of Belgium in the Congo, Stalin’s engineered famines in Ukraine, and Charles Trevelyan’s supervision of the Great Famine in Ireland. Deliberately and for his own tawdry political purposes, he has failed utterly in his duty and north of 100,000 Americans already have died.

Also, is racism really a white problem?
only registered users can see external links
The film is out, in a limited way, later this month and then there's a more general, cinematic release later in the year.
I'm not quite sure what you mean with your second question - I would, however, observe that (for me anyway) racism is a problem for everybody. If I've missed the point - feel free to correct me!
The very first paragraph in the first link you provided reads; "We were trying to get people to understand racism as a white problem,” says Kate Webb, an early member of the Rock Against Racism movement, which emerged in 1976 in protest at the white supremacist attitudes of the then fast-growing National Front.
Maybe I missed the point of what I read.
I guess (or hope) she meant that, as now, addressing racism takes effort from all of us. Back in the 70s the UK was openly racist, as I can attest, and getting a movement together that fought for equality was probably as problematic as it is now. The dominant majority (ie. white Brits) needed to get involved if real change was to happen.
I can also say that it was an exciting time to live through!
Just curious, do you notice an obvious ebb and flow to those issues in your country, too? For example... Here in the United States, we ONLY have racial divisions and issues, ironically, every 4 years just before an upcoming election. It's been like this for some time, here, you could almost set your clock to it (figuratively). Have you noticed anything similar in the U.K.?
I would say that, anecdotally, the upsurges in racial tensions are NOT strongly linked to the electoral cycle over here. Like elsewhere, headline-grabbing incidents seem to be more of a catalyst. The Stephen Lawrence case springs to mind, as a fairly recent example. We also saw a spike in hate crimes after we voted to leave the EU - many feel that racists were emboldened to act upon their xenophobia after that referendum.

I would also note that many of those incidents had ZERO proof of a racial component, other than the people involved simply being of different nationalities.
I wish I could take credit for a thought I recently heard, but I cannot. Perhaps it would be in the best interest for everyone, to send black officers to crimes where other blacks are involved. If a white officer encounters a crime being committed, i.e. during a traffic stop, immediately call in and request a black officer to respond to deal with the individual. I mean afterall, in order to minimize any sexual misconduct issues, nationwide, female officers are called in to handle female suspects. So, why not consider this? I absolutely do not believe there is such a massive problem with race relations between whites and blacks OR the Police and blacks. But if that possible solution would help stop some of this bullshit from being circulated within our society, then find a way to make it so!
--------------------------------------- added after 56 minutes
One other note that has been discussed before, worth noting again.
There IS and will ALWAYS be a few shitheads in ANY given segment in our society. Whether it be the Police, Doctors/Nurses, Clergy, Teachers, Firefighters, Blacks, Whites, Asians, etc. There is NO absolute perfect grouping of people, anywhere. To believe that it's possible to weed out all these types of individuals from society is just foolish. Just as it's quite ignorant to label ALL blacks as miscreants and criminals it's equally as ignorant to suggest that all white people and or police are bad or "inherently racist".

What I have read is that some animals adopted during this quarantine are now being returned to the various shelters. It pisses me off that people consider animals as an "accessory" and a disposable item.
Funny, now that I think about it, there is an exclusive and independent RV park down the road. I'm not sure how they were able to operate outside of the quarantine mandate.
I was surprised a conservative CC54 rag on DeSantis
Michiganders were pissed at Whitmer for extending the Stay Home order through June 12, an almost 3 months quarantine. I'm not sure local government is handling things appropriately, though. In April, our local government went ahead with the Easter Egg hunt, two weeks ago, they brought back "Music in the Park" on our boardwalk. Feed me peanuts and call me Dumbo but when I go to an outdoor music venue that does not have assigned seating, I want to get as close as possible to the front. What I'm trying to say is that there is absolutely no social distancing. This summer feature is an annual event and draws so many young people, teens and tweens, etc. Yesterday was the third concert so that's a reflection that our city opened prior to the Governor's June 12 date. What is odd though is that the July 4th fireworks and celebration was canceled as well as some upcoming fishing events that draw fishermen from all over. These events have been annual events for more years than I've lived here.

I'm not standing in anyone's way if they want to be irresponsible dumb-asses. But, I have the right, the duty even, to point out that their conduct will be responsible for more deaths and costs to the public health system. I know you have simple understanding of your actions.

I have 40+ years experience in jerking off, so my need for "coaching" is questionable.
If I were to use a jerking coach: I'd prefer mine not to use the number 2 to mean both "to" and "too", and to type "you" and "are" as proper words.
But hey, whatever lights your candle. It takes all sorts!!
I just found his blog interesting when he offers to be the coach and help by feeding "you" with things "you" like. Honestly, I didn't think that jerking, whackin' off, chokin' the chicken, burpin' the worm, etc, needed the assistance of a coach.

If you're horny or you awake with a raging erection you have three ways to address the matter.
• Ignore the urge OR erection and go about your day.
• If you have a partner, hopefully they are horny, too.
• Your partner is not interested OR you are alone, you take care of business.
There's nothing in these scenarios lead me to believe that you need to call Coach Ralph for game strategy.

The fact that phart has provided a link showing why Hungary kicked out his University seems, to me, to show that (more often than not) Soros has been a force for good - even if that's a somewhat flawed force. Hungary is ruled by a guy with authoritarian tendencies, so butting heads with someone like Soros was, somewhat, inevitable.
Like I said,if you get your info from only certian sources and not all of them,you may not understand it all.
So, here's the rub: are you in favour of capitalism or not?
That's what global capitalism looks like: people speculate as to whether stock, or currencies, will fall or rise in value. If you have a pension, that's what the pension funds do too - they invest in stock and currency. The link you provided shows that he wasn't even the biggest investor to put money on the baht falling in value. So, my question (to be absolutely clear):
Do YOU, phart, believe that using your knowledge about politics and the markets to invest in stock or currencies (to make a profit for yourself and investors) is somehow wrong?
The Thai government, and their Central Bank, ballsed up their economy and a Capitalist made money out of predicting this would happen and then used his capital to make a "bet" that he was right. That IS capitalism 101, dude. It makes the world, for better or worse, turn.
I'm genuinely interested in your response. I suspect you may not have all your ducks lined up on this one. Think before you answer. Particularly think about how a certain Donald Trump (despite flirting with bankruptcy on occasion) made HIS money.
Did he make widgets and then sell them?
OR, did he inherit a shitload of money and then invest it in Real Estate (in the hope that it's value would rise) to make a profit from his capital?

Biden credits his parents with instilling in him toughness, hard work and perseverance. He has recalled his father frequently saying, "Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up." He's also said that when he would come home sullen because he had been bullied by one of the bigger kids in the neighborhood, his mother would tell him, "Bloody their nose so you can walk down the street the next day

I'm also a strong believer that mutual aid played a big part in our evolution as a species. If we solely acted on "animal instincts" I don't think we would have such a developed civilisation. By communicating, dividing labour, co-operating and recording stuff we are able to produce surpluses of food and goods. That in turn allows us the "free" time to write poetry, compose music, establish universities et al.
So, that "good" side of us is the bit that advances our species. The Social Darwinism attitude (what can I get for MYSELF) may achieve short-term gains for an individual or group, but doesn't necessarily help advance all. We can, as humans, be brilliant at co-operation - The Antarctic Treaty System springs to mind. Conversely, our history is also littered with the most vile atrocities. Not just taking life, but behaving in the most brutal ways. It's a puzzle, that's for sure!
Personally, I think we have the capacity for both good and evil. Some err more to one side or the other, as a result of genetics. But … I think environment has a massive part to play.
If you're brought up with good role models, boundaries, and encouraged to be empathetic I believe this will allow your "good" side (in the vast majority of cases) to rise to the surface.
On the other hand, if you're brought up to believe that in order for you to get on in life you must "win" and outdo others I believe that will bring out the worst in you. For me - that's why global, free market Capitalism is a scourge and gives us such perverse, global consequences. Maybe it's just a stage in the further evolution of mankind, and one day we will have a world without the excesses of billionaires co-existing with children dying for the want of a glass of clean water.

The level of access that the documentary makers managed to get is stupefying. It's also, for me anyway, another glimpse of a foreign legal system that's both baffling and heavily-loaded in favour of those that can afford good representation.

It's alledged old Chis keel-hauled a black seaman on his way to the new world.
An Indian man required surgery after inserting a 2-foot-long phone charger into his penis for sexual gratification, a report said.
The unidentified man tried to hide the true cause of his ailment when he sought medical help last month at a hospital in northeastern India, claiming he consumed earphones, Dr. Walliul Islam told CNN on Monday.
Doctors prescribed the man laxatives, but he returned to the hospital five days later when he was still complaining of pain.
Islam, a surgeon at the hospital, told the network that “despite passing stool several times the cable did not come out.”
“As the patient complained of severe pain, we decided to perform surgery and found that there was nothing in his intestine,” Islam said.
Later, through an X-ray, doctors discovered the phone charger inside his bladder, which is connected to the penis via the urethra.
“I have read that people used to get sexual gratification by inserting instruments through the penis,” Islam said. “This is one such case, and the psychiatrist can help him beyond this point.”
The surgeon said the man recovered, but noted if he had “been honest, then it would have saved us the trouble and we could have treated him sooner.”

I am concerned that being a "MAN" is becoming taboo anyway.
When I watch youtube or tv,I see ad's for LAWNMOWER 3.0 and men shaving themselves like they are going swimming in the Olympics or something. Another ad shows a man in a flannel shirt ordering all kinds of bathroom fixtures on his telephone and they are delivered and installed by a "professional".
It aint manly to pay someone to do simple home projects.
Another ad shows a male,not very masculine,buying boards and hammer and nails and then in the garage trying to nail together a book shelf. Later it is a bonfire and he hands the lady,presumably his wife ,a box or something.I mean really? A man that can't build a book shelf? And expects a woman to look up to him as making good healthy smart kids?

Damn it,if you were born here in the US,you are a AMERICAN. Ditch the prefixs.
I don't go around telling everyone I am Cherekee,Confederate,German,Scottish American,I just simply say,I am a American.
And before you crawl in my drawers about Confederate,We were a Country for a while.So technicaly if your ancestors were in the south during that time you are of Confederate desent.
IT TAKES MORE THAN A PRESIDENT AND A BUNCH OF GENERALS TO MAKE A COUNTRY. THE CONFEDERACY WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A LARGE SCALE PROTEST. A RIOT IF YOU WILL. BUT, IF YOU WANT TO BE A SUPPORTER OF A FAILED MOVEMENT, GO RIGHT AHEAD. SINCE THEY ADVOCATED THE OVERTHROW OF THE RIGHTFULL GOVERNMENT OF THE USA, YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO THIS COUNTRY.

I am not a complete asshole,I am just so tired of shit like i heard this morning from a mayor talking on fox news.She was ask,"what if my house is being broken into at 3 am ,who do I call", "perhaps you should not call police,someone might get hurt"
This shit has got to get a point that people stop hating each other and jumping up and down and screaming and actually do something about it.
Instead of defunding police to pay for social programs,how about not spending millions on landscaping a park and put that money towards youth programs for a few years? then look back and see if we can start making things look nice again or if we need to keep spending on youth.
Be reasonable,you can't have public safety without police.Without some form of deterant,police can't enforce the law.

Ok so for the Blacks to walk around saying only black lives matter is no where NEAR what King worked for and eventually was killed trying to make happen. Equal,means = not 1 sided.
So whos really racist when carrying a BLM sign?
Either you don't understand how the English language works, or you are deliberately misinterpreting it to fit your belief system.
Let me make it simple for you:
If I say HAM SANDWICHES ARE DELICIOUS, does that mean that ONLY ham sandwiches are delicious? That no other type of sandwich can also be delicious? That no other type of food is delicious?
Try DOGS ARE GREAT PETS. I guess that means that cats suck, right?
Or, how about this one: DONALD TRUMP IS AN IDIOT,
By your "logic", that means that he is the ONLY idiot, and no one else can hold that title.
The phrase BLACK LIVES MATTER is ONLY racist because you, and folks like you, are trying very hard to interpret it that way.
Are you suggesting that black lives DON'T matter?
Firstly, calling people "the Blacks" is like nails down a blackboard for me.
Secondly, that use of the word "only". He just doesn't get it and I'm fucked if I can be bothered to even try to correct him when he's that ill-informed.
If you say a Ham sandwich is good,we would be discussing ham sandwiches,not chicken. We are discussing LIVES here,HUMAN LIVES.
YOu TOTALY missed my point,IF equality is what they want,then ALL lives should matter to them.
The protesters are not out for equality,if they were,they would not single out 1 color .
Since 1886 civil rights,
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws

Hope your son, and you, stay safe.
If all the citys look at it like these, there won't be many policeman.
I don't what the hell we are supposed to do for safety.TwoWarm thinks we shouldn't have guns, the citys want to cut out police,what next,make theft legal?
Reductio ad absurdum.
Defunding has a rationale behind it.
One can make a case for stricter gun controls.
Nobody that I have heard from is suggesting we "make theft legal" - grow up, buddy!
I just used theft legal as a example of how stupid it all sounds. When there are no police,and stealing happens,who holds the theif accountable? IF there is no 1 to hold them accountable,then it is for all practical purpose legal . Grow your self buddy.THINK For once.
No bobbys on your streets with clubs to stop a knife fight,how safe would you feel? Or if the funding was cut and they could not buy replacement clubs,what then?
If you have $100 and you spend $90 on The Police, and $10 on services like mental health, drug education and homelessness and then see crime at a really high rate.
Then, you take that same $100 and spend $85 on The Police, and $15 on those other services and see crime drop by 50%.
Are you still in total opposition to defunding the Police?
If crime dropped there would also be more money available for either more Policing, or more of those other ancillary services. It's called a virtuous circle.
"Ah, but what if you don't get those amazing results, Huxley?" I hear you grunt.
Well, at least fucking try it. One guaranteed way of getting the same results over and over again is to change nothing, EVER!
CC, first let me tell you how glad I am that your son is ok.
Police brutality tends to be racial because it happens to
low income people, i.e. to blacks, refugees, Purto Ricans. It's seldom that a
CITY BANK EXECUTIVE gets roughed up. The reasons are varied. There's always one person in a powerful position that pushes it too far.
As far as doing a demonstration for a fallen officer, I don't think that would happen. The police, like the military, are expected to charge into danger and perhaps give their lives in the course of doing their duty. We honor them with a state funeral, a picture and plaque in the Sheriff's office. They chose this life. The oppressed did not.
Did he not choose to drop out in the 8th grade to run the streets. Or should we blame that on the teachers? Did he not choose to sell drugs, do drugs, and be a gang banger? Or should we blame that on his parents and family. Did the oppressed man do the time because he committed the crime? Or should we blame that on the police and judges?
Why is that? You worked hard for what you have. Are you a gang banger? Do you run women? Is your son dirty and takes bribes from you?
Of course not. You shoudn't ASSUME either. As a group, African Americans are socially and economically oppressed. George Floyd deserved to die. He was on drugs and had a rap sheet. Why did the cops let him out the last time?
Alot of this info does not relate directly to the topic at hand BUT 1 of the things Mr Sowell talks about is Lifestyle Choices.
Public education is free to the student.No reason it should even be legal to drop out much less have the option to do it for the pure hell of it.
I made it a point to take notice of the number of blacks I encountered yesteday and thier attitudes.
2 were eating breakfast at the next table over from me, we talked a bit about the food and were all laughing and cutting up with the wait staff and all was great.
1 was at tha bank window.He seemed very nervous but handled my transaction without a problem. 2 others,husband and wife I met at the hardware,both said hello how ye doin' and all was well. Not 1 of them tried to yank my Trump hat off my head or walk over to my truck and throw a bottle of gas in it to burn it.They were all decent working people .
The rioters do not represent the whole black population.But they are making it hard for alot of them as they tend to burn "Uncle Tom's " store for spite,they resent success I reckon?

Now who is behind the times
If you read Herb Boyd's book about the Panthers I suspect you will come away thinking they were more wronged against than anything else. They were infiltrated by state sponsored spies and a fair number of their members were murdered by cops. Were they all faultless angels? No. Were some of them well-intentioned folk that did a lot for their communities and shifted Overton's window, when it came to race relations? Yes, undoubtedly.
They are carrying guns,but since they are defending protesters I guess it must be ok right?

Bunch is so confused they can't even agree on what they stand for!
I support the right to bear arms but I am stumped as to why this bunch wants violence,bearing arms is meant help you be safe and protect you from criminals and bad government.
let me get another question off my chest.
Ok so we don't want to kill someone for a simple infraction of the law.We can agree on that.
I have a couple questions actually.In asking these questions,I know policeman have written rules to go by and policys.But I want to know what the folks that support these riots and such think are the correct methods.I want to see if the answers are,"Let em steal,insurance will cover it", "let em kill we can make more babies" or something stupide like that.
1, where do you draw the line between a "simple infraction" and a act worthy of use of force?
2, what is the approved method of approaching and apprending a criminal?
I know it is wrong to kill a man for near nothing,never said it was.But to read what I have to day here on the net,not just here, you would think that a cop is supposed to help the looters tote stuff out! I mean there has been a line,Don't steal as in loot,don't kill.as in don't kill your neighbor or the cop trying to arrest you,don't commit arson,as in burning your neighbors bussiness to the ground,and that line just keeps getting moved back.
I don't. I support the right to peaceful protest and taking non-violent, direct action.
The answer(s) to law-breaking is complicated. Property can be replaced, human lives cannot. The Police SHOULD police by consent. If you have renegades (or bad apples, or whatever you want to call them) that kneel on a guy's neck until he's dead, that makes "policing by consent" SO much harder. You need professionals, with cool heads, to make judgements on the appropriate policing of any particular situation. You DON'T need glib soundbites, or threats of escalating the violence
OK, answers to your numbered questions:
1) Proportionate response. Offences don't fall on one side or the other of some imaginary line that divides simple infraction from acts worthy of the use of force. Well- trained, and well-disciplined, Police officers will get the response right more often than not. We also don't expect Police Officers to be perfect. We do, however, expect them to be properly disciplined when they transgress.
2) I don't know!! Having said that, if you have decent info about the nature of the alleged crime you can also try having a proportionate method. I probably have a skewed view of American policing, but the default approach seems to be to draw your gun, bellow at the suspect to get on the ground, then (too often) open fire. If you've been called to a report of teenagers putting up graffiti, I would suggest a more "gentle" approach would be apt. Again, the right training would seem to be the most appropriate method of getting it right. Bear in mind also that, until you have been through the process, the person you are approaching is a SUSPECT (NOT a criminal).
I can't really comment on stuff you've read elsewhere, but I suspect you are gilding the lily a bit when you say that "a cop is supposed to help the looters"! I'll resist the temptation to tell you to grow up again, but … REALLY??
Helping the looters was a strectch of course but where I am going is the cop should not have to sit down and beg the criminal to stop,put up his hands and so on.And there has always been part of the problem. Suspect,if a man is standing there with a bloody knife,chances are he just stabbed some one or something.No suspecting needed.
The folks that support the riots? The same folks that think the police should not be there protecting people and property and want to defund them to make it so.
The peaceful "protest" are the beginnings of most of the riots.The protesters may not want to stoop to the level of doing evil,but don't do anything to slow it down much either.Oh now I have read of a couple cases where the protesters WERE trying to convince rioters to stop,but few and far between.
I know some of you think the 2nd amendment is untouchable, but how about making it less likely that criminals have a gun in the first place?
Non-lethal force?

The guy with the bloody knife may be the victim, who has been stabbed but managed to grab the knife from his assailant.
Defunding is, in my opinion, worthy of consideration. It doesn't mean what Scorps made out, and if you can find me one person who promotes defunding AND is pro-rioting I'll eat my fucking hat.
The answer is NOT, as you seem to be implying, to take away the right to peaceful protest away just because it MIGHT lead to rioting.

PEACEFUL PROTESTS GET HIJACKED BY LOOTERS. I BELIEVE TRUMP HAD THEM START TO GET US OFF THE PANDEMIC PROBLEM. IT BACKFIRED ON HIM
It is annoying as hell that for 2 months or more we couldn't go eat at the resturant,we couldn't do a damn thing hardly because of a virus.We lost part of the income of the RNC because of the virus and the number of people involved. But when the protest and Riots started,instead of sending them home packing like they did folks at the beachs and such,they sat back and let it roll.More of that double standard thing.
You make it fucking hard for me not to think you're a racist, phart. Can you not see that comment is unpleasant, racial stereotyping? You're emphasising difference by using the word "them". They are us - fellow human beings.
My heart bleeds that you couldn't go to a restaurant for 2 months - what a terrible injustice for you to suffer. Probably just as bad as having your neck knelt on, huh?
Who are the "they", that "sat back and let it roll"? From what I've seen there's been some pretty rough policing of some of the protests. I've seen cops in full riot gear charging protestors, and the media, on a pretty regular basis over the last few days. They didn't seem to be "sitting back and letting it roll" to me. They certainly didn't let the folk in Lafayette Park off with a "sit back and let it roll" approach, when the big, orange fuckwit wanted to pose with a Bible did they? Don't let facts stand in the way of your world view, will you! FFS dude.

Our motorcycle club does benefit rides to raise money for things like muscular dystrophy kid’s with cancer and many other things so if that’s riding around town being macho then so be it you seem to have the idea that all bikers are trash and I have not stayed home through the whole pandemic I’m still working every single day as we repair many fire trucks police cars and ambulances every year and as far as a neck massage I don’t have time for pampering myself
Angel.......Why is that Dgraff? You can't ride your Harley around town? You can't show off what a macho man you are?
UNLESS YOUR SEVENTH GRADE EDUCATION IS NOT ENOUGH. EVERYTHING I'VE SAID FITS THE CONVERSATION.
NOW YOU SAY YOUR CLUB IS GOD's GIFT TO THE NEEDY. YOU WORK EVERY DAY, SO WHAT, EXACTLY, ARE YOU BITCHING ABOUT?
I am sick of reading about the violence,I am sick of hard working people loosing everything to the looters.Folks that do work and those of us that did while we could paid taxes and we all vote,We didn't vote for people in government to cave in to demands to defund our police to leave us even more vunerable to crime. We DO have the right to bitch.Just as you have the right to find fault with every other word someone says.
The virus they will be carrying home to the older 1's that have health issues already.
I can't imagine what is going thru their minds.They literally could be bringing about their own genecide.
"Sir ,is the person you shot bleeding? are they having breathing problems? Did you not realize he just wanted to rob you so he could buy some candy for his kids?How dare you shoot a armed robber in your house,this 911 call will be used as evidence to convict you of murder,
Ok,so some of that was a bit off,but do we really want a 911 service that does not send out people to protect us from harm?Who will protect us if police are disbanded,which is being discussed?
This would enable American guys to have as much sex with women as they want, without the potential consequence of an unwanted pregnancy.
Later in life, if the guy decides that he wants to father children--and has a willing partner in that endeavor--he can have the vasectomy reversed.
With the exceptions of pregnancy by r@pe or ince$t, or that of life-threatening harm to the mother if she carries the child to full term, that should put an end to almost all abortions!
Problem solved!
You're welcome.
We will do as we have done from the very beginning and import new Americans from elsewhere.
Everyone should be equal under the law.

I am sure this will make some people's heads explode, and it does require the viewer to have a modicum of empathy and an open mind, but it's worth a shot.
Yes, all lives matter. Yes, black commit crimes against black as white commit crimes against white and as police will inflict unnecessary "punishment" on people of all color.
And a white police officer was in the news this time for pushing down a 75 year old white protester.

It makes me sad that it has to be explained to anyone, but "Black Lives Matter" doesn't mean that they are the only lives that matter.
It means that, for far too long in this country, black lives have been treated as though they mattered LESS.
Anyone who can't see that is not playing with a full deck. (huxley, that's American vernacular for "crazy" ).
So, let me get this straight. You're suggesting that this particular "black person" (and many many more like her/them) has missed the point. What point is that? You go on to explain that, "for far too long, in this country, black lives have been treated as though they have mattered less". Interesting and certainly worth discussing.
The name of the group itself, is an affront to many Americans. But that's not ok, right! Accept it or you're a fucking racist, right? Dissention or differing views on ANY given matter is not allowed or tolerated. Minimizing a person or even a segment of the population, their beliefs, and or intelligence is a must! All in the name of... It simply doesn't fit my/our narrative. A NORMAL PERSON, when hearing a wannabe supposed legitimate group, such as B.L.M. chanting death to white people and or the police, even America itself (to which I will admit I may have my wires crossed but I don't think so), recognize that, that sort of language should not be accepted by ANY sane person, period! It's NOT ok, and I and many more like me, refuse to give legitimacy to such and ignorant group. We are all Americans here and should be united as such. Not divided either way, such as a black life is no more important or less important as a white one, Mexican one, Chinese one, etc. All lives matter, except of course, one in the womb.
The despicable treatment of George Floyd and his death at the hands of a potentially power crazed, sadistic police officer has certainly, if nothing else, untied Americans together unlike any other incident in recent memory. No single person has come out to say (at least to my knowledge) that any part of that was acceptable.
In this ultra uniting moment, we have to hear how racist America and police officers are, OR how police brutality in general is rampant and out of control, ESPECIALLY against anyone that's not white. Instead of using this moment to bring some sort of good to his unfortunate death, we get spoon fed condoned violence, destruction, more deaths and race dividing rhetoric. If you don't just roll over and accept those consequences, because of the actions of a few, yes, a few, you are in fact, a RACIST! That just makes this situation even more sad and unfortunate and to many, infuriating.
Lastly, not everyone was dealt the hand of JustWill and may never be quite as intelligent as you believe you are. Therefore, there are millions playing with less of a deck than you do, clearly, and I amongst many others certainly must be one of them. Because afterall, my/our opinions, thoughts, feelings, logic, must not be accepted because they are flawed.
There's only one acceptable narrative right!? America and a vast majority of Americans are inherently racist end of story. Hell, according to Joe Biden 10 to 15 percent of Americans are "bad people". That works out to what, 30, 40 million people? He might just be right or is that number greater? Hillary said 50% were deplorables. We may just never know.

How about just one more, what I deem to be a sane voice that you can feel free to discount... only registered users can see external links
First, let me point out that the "quite as intelligent as you BELIEVE YOU ARE" (CAPS are mine) bit was a tad hurtful. My intelligence is not a matter of BELIEF. It just is what it is.(Which is true for everyone. Some have it, some don't).
I am sorry that my intellect makes you feel inferior in some way. That was never my intent. I can't help it that I am smart, and I won't apologize for it, but I am sorry that you feel...less smart...because of me.
It must be hard for you (and folk like you) to have to spend every day feeling discriminated against because you are different. To be treated as though you were less of a person because you lack a certain quality merely because of a fluke of Nature. I mean, you were dealt a specific intellectual capacity by the whims of biology, and that isn't your fault.
It would be unjust for those of us with better brains to discriminate against your kind(you know...not give you access to good jobs, health care, a great education, equality under the law, fair housing practices...things like that) due to this trait that was f0rced upon you.
I understand that living your entire life in this type of unjust and discriminatory society might make you and your kind incredibly angry. Perhaps what you need is a slogan; something to point out to the world that you are tired of having to live in a society which treats you unfairly simply because you are less...bright...than the people in charge.
Might I suggest DUMB BRAINS MATTER?
Now, I know you are probably thinking: If we use that slogan, won't people think that we are saying that ONLY dumb brains matter?
Of course not! We didn't put the word ONLY in our slogan for that very reason. Anyone with a jot of intelligence will understand that ALL brains matter, That goes without saying. Only a true idiot (no offense intended) would think otherwise. Or, perhaps, someone who willfully misinterprets our slogan to suit their own agenda (like, maybe, one of those SMART people who just don't want to give your kind a fair shake).
Give it a try. Rise up in protest. Perhaps it will create an "ultra uniting moment" that will change things for your people...
Two final things:
1.How sad for you that you find a group of people proclaiming that their lives matter to be an "affront". Shame on them for making you feel less special and not included! (Look up the definition of IRONY)
2. Hillary didn't say 50% of Americans where a "basket of deplorables", she said 50% of TRUMP SUPPORTERS were. That's a totally different number. While she shouldn't have said that (out loud), I honestly haven't seen much evidence these last three plus years to prove her wrong. Present circumstances being a fine example.
Okay, I lied.
There are THREE final things:
3. You aren't racist because you have opinions. You are racist because you have RACIST opinions. There is a difference.

Dammit! FOUR things, I meant to say four:
4. You keep tossing that "in the womb" stuff into your posts on this subject. Stop it. It is not relevant.
But: A woman should have total say about what happens to her body. Because it is HER body. When you grow a womb of your own, then your opinion will have some value on that subject.
And here's number five (just because I feel like it):
5. I have never heard a supporter of Black Lives Matter shouting "Death to White People" or "Death to America". That has pretty much been coming from terrorists of the pseudo-Islamic variety. I know that the majority of them have skin tones in the brown to black range, and that might be confusing to folk like you, but they are not the same as the BLM people.
It's always a great idea to poo poo a successful self made black woman as a lunatic or some kinda heretic. Yeah, she's cra cra, annoying, and should have just complied with the very first "go"! Tuck her tail, turn around and just leave cause let's face it lady, YOUR opinion/views are insignificant, unwanted, unwarranted, unimportant, and most importantly doesn't fit the narrative that all us protesters are out here for. Now go! Get out of here! And she should have dutifully complied, right!?
BTW The "mostly peaceful protesters" were given curfews in an attempt to stem the violence, looting, rioting, burning, etc. what happened when they were told to "go"? Many threw things at the police, and lashed out. Now that! That's justifiable behavior by "mostly peaceful protesters". What did you expect her to say or do? Ok! I'm gonna leave now so my voice will most certainly not be heard. Riiiight!
As far as me being in trouble or even troubled. If that's your opinion of me, so be it, your most definitely entitled to YOUR opinion.
Why have you put "mostly peaceful protestors" in quotation marks, fuckwit? Who are you quoting?
"Many threw things at the police, and lashed out" - if you want me to comment you will have to tell me what demonstration you're talking about. If you can find me ONE post where I have tried to justify people throwing stuff at the Police I'll eat my hat, and yours for good measure.
The interesting thing for me is that you have proposed NOTHING, as far as I can see, to deal with the substantive issue. Fine words about "using this moment to bring some sort of good to his unfortunate death". How would YOU propose to do that? I may be doing you a disservice, but all I've seen, from you, is naysaying that the US has massive problems with racism and policing. You've misunderstood, then dismissed, defunding the Police so resources can be used in a different way and thrown in your views on abortion. I also suspect that you would like, as your beloved POTUS seems to like, a massive focus on law and order to crush dissent. I would suggest that none of that actually helps find a long-term, sustainable resolution to the anger that so many of your fellow citizens feel.
she was shouting to be HEARD. She did NOT have a megaphone and was trying to get her opinion/views heard by as many as possible within such a large crowd and just perhaps with a modicum of passion added. It wasn't intended to be a one on one conversation or she just may have spoke normally. Consequently, she did do an interview where she wasn't shouting.

So he was positive for the virus,and was under the influence of a powerful pain killer that has all kinds of side effects.
Sadly, abuse takes place frequently in (so-called) care situations. There IS outrage about it and, changes are made. Not fast enough - granted. It's truly horrible what that guy did.
On the other hand: we have a cop killing a black man by kneeling on his neck. This happens in a Nation with deep-seated race relations problems, with a POTUS who has an indelicate touch when dealing with matters of this kind. A Nation where the descendants of slaves live alongside the descendants of slave owners, or people who directly benefitted from slavery. Within living memory you have segregation, Jim Crow laws, Rosa Parks, assassinations of Black leaders (Malcolm X, Martin Luther King et al) and those advocating for equal rights (Bobby Kennedy). Your life chances, as a Black American, are worse than if you are a Caucasian American. Your chances of being pulled over by the police are greater if you're black. Your chances of being incarcerated are greater if you're black.
No matter whether you have/had Covid 19, and no matter what medication you are taking, you shouldn't be fucking murdered by a cop! Nor should 3 other cops watch their colleague murder a guy, and not intervene.
The reason one leads to riots and looting is because of the facts I have iterated above, the resorting to threats of further violence by your fuckwit POTUS, AND because there are bad people in this world who will break the law if they see an opportunity to do so. Deal with the lawbreakers by all means, but (just a thought) maybe deal with the underlying problems your Nation has with race as well and DON'T break up peaceful protests so you can pose for a photo op with a fucking Bible in your hand!
I have a horrible suspicion that all of this, to some extent, plays into Trump's hands. If you see legislation coming down the track that limits the free press, puts further checks on social media, gives the police/military excessive powers, or (here's the clincher) delays democratic elections don't be too surprised my American cousins.

The bit that jumps out, for me, is:
Many important civil rights leaders have used the phrase “all men are created equal” to demand equality for all. One of the many leaders who used this phrase in a famous speech was Martin Luther King. He used this phrase in his I Have A Dream speech (1963): “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’” He would argue that “all men are created equal” did not encompass African Americans. His speech took place before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and it was still legal to discriminate on the basis of race. Dr. King would argue that this would present a challenge to “all men created equal,” because African Americans were not ensured the same rights and privileges as white Americans. President John F. Kennedy also used this phrase to demand equality in a speech entitled “For What We Fight”: “It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.” He would agree with King in saying that in the 1960s, the phrase had still not yet encompassed African Americans, so it could not truly mean “all” men.
Let's hope the imminent Memorial Service in Minneapolis is peaceful and constructive, and that your great Nation can move towards fulfilling that admirable sentiment of all men being created equal. Stay safe.

Just in case I came across as somehow "smug" that the UK has a better race relations reputation than the US. Akala is a very interesting guy, with views that are truly thought-provoking.
That doesn't seem very "equal", does it?
SAYING that people are "equal" is MUCH different than actually TREATING them as equals.
The problem here in the US is that we have been SAYING "you're equal" for decade upon decade, but the equal TREATMENT part has never really been happening.
What puzzles me is how the people on the RIGHT can have the audacity to express SURPRISE that some of those supposedly "equal" people have had enough and are taking to the streets in Constitutionally protected protest.
(Yes, Rioting and Looting are WRONG, but PROTESTING is a RIGHT)
No 1 gives a damn about a supposedly ill husky black male BEATiNG a elderly verteran in a place he should be safe.
Covid 19 or wuhan,if that man was sick with it,how the hell did he have the strength to beat anyone AND steal from them?
But just as you so well shared the opionion,nurseing home abuse just happens, accept it and go on.
BOTH are wrong,but no 1 gives a damn about black on white violence.it doesn't make the papers.
As for the desendants thing,I want repreations for the finacial losses my family suffered because of the carpet baggers that came to the south to shit the southern people out of everything they had.
Average slave cost about 3000 dollar THEN. most southern people could not afford that. Plantation owners actually would rent slaves or would swap labor,example,we pick my cotton today,and pick yours tommorow. Poor white people just had to do for themselves. My mother picked and hoed cotton and she was white back in the 40's during WW2, so it was not a black only job.
How is it that passing a bad $20 bill is a crime worthy of the death penalty?
Your mother may have "picked and hoed cotton", but nobody OWNED her while she was doing it. You are using a false equivalence.
Black on white violence ALWAYS makes the papers that I read. Stop pretending that none of that is reported. (They also report White on Brown crimes, and Yellow on Red, and Blue on Green, too!)
And, what does Nursing Home abuse have to do with a cop murdering a man in his custody?
The "hypocrisy" is that you THINK the photo you posted justifies your position, but it is, in fact, totally off the mark.
NO ONE is saying that ALL cops or white people are bad. What they ARE saying is that BLACK (and Brown and Yellow and Red) people are not consistently treated fairly by EITHER group.
I did NOT say just accept it and go on.
As an aside, for someone who claims not to recognise race you're damn keen to point out that it's a black guy abusing the guy in the home.
You're bringing up "repreations" (sic)? Presumably then you'd be 100% in favour of reparations for the descendants of slaves? Let's just park that one.
Just like your "fit enough to riot, fit enough to vote in person" nonsense you are trying to draw a false equivalence.
You can be outraged at both events - however, only one has had the effect of making people question how much longer they are prepared to put up with institutional racism.
It's like saying: "How dare you complain about Americans having to rely on Foodbanks when there are people starving in Yemen?". It's possible to have a view on BOTH, and they are not substantively linked in any way.
Other than them being acts of violence, what is there in common in the 2 pictures that someone has clumsily juxtaposed and added a glib soundbite to? Not much.
I fear you're trying to distract from the very real (and grim) situation your Nation finds itself in. Scroll up and see what JustWill has said. If abuses in care homes were as widespread as racism is, in the US, there probably WOULD be protests and possibly even rioting.
The fact that you're descended from poor white folk is, frankly, irrelevant. It does interest me though, but purely on a personal level. It adds little or nothing to the subject at hand.
PS. I DO give a damn about black on white violence. I give a damn about ALL violence.
Because, you know, being indentured is exactly like being owned and...um...that makes it all better.
I'd value your opinion: there are clearly really bright people who are extremely right wing. Do you think they engage in cognitive dissonance?
Like your example: if you trot that out, but you're intelligent enough to know it's BS, how do you reconcile it to yourself? Or are you a sociopath? I'm genuinely puzzled.
If that understanding is correct, then I am sure that cognitive dissonance plays a part with a limited number of right wing individuals. However, I think that far too many of the folk in question haven't the slightest doubt that what they believe is the only TRUTH.
They cling so tightly to their chosen beliefs that all contradictory evidence--no matter how grounded in reality and fact--must be regarded as a lie.
This need to disregard fact has given rise to the "Fake News" phenomenon. Anything that supports their tightly held beliefs, no matter that it is cut from whole cloth, MUST be true. Any fact which contradicts said beliefs is, by their reasoning, obviously a lie.
When they use "facts" like the example I gave, they truly believe that it is NOT BS. They have no doubt.

In the case of die-hard Trump supporters, I believe that there are two categories:
Those who bought an ugly pig and didn't realize the magnitude of its hideousness at the time of purchase, but are going to support their pig because admitting they were in error at the out set would cause them shame. (A very small group)
Those that truly believe that the pig is the most beautiful pig to ever walk the Earth. By nature of its transcendent beauty, all things said and done by the pig are perfect. This is basically because they held the same beliefs that the pig exemplified from the very start. They will not be swayed from their devotion to the pig. (this is the largest group)
That trend to dismiss anything that contradicts your own views, and especially the "fake news" card, is worrying - to say the least. You'll have seen SrCums use that one, on me, a few times. Frustrating when you provide, what you feel is, pretty sound evidence to show X is true and the only response is to rubbish the source. As an ardent empiricist I relish being shown new data, even when that contradicts what I had previously believed. Stay safe.
"Racism had been almost totally eradicated in this country until Barack Obama became President."
According to the Right, America was virtually racism-free, with all people being treated fairly and equally...and then the black guy ruined it.
The Trump supporters used this as their rallying cry and as "proof" that ALL ILLEGALS were thugs and murderers, and that building a wall was the only way to save the lives of our women folk!
When we pointed out then that "one doesn't represent all", we were told that we were libtard snowflakes for believing that.
Odd how you are only now seeing our point.
I hired a damn new york yankee for a President.I knew he was no saint,but MY GOD did you see the other 1?

Fucking thing,
anyhow, Did anyone watch Al on tv preaching the funeral?
NOT wearing a mask? the virus,Um,what happened to it? in 2 weeks are we going to have a huGE case count?
Neither were the protesters.
What's your point?
The Republicans and Trump just put babies in cages. (You don't have to say it, we know: They were BROWN babies, so they belong in cages!)
When I watched the news I noticed that most of these protesters were wearing masks, probably because when they left home they knew that social distancing wasn't a reasonable expectation.
Common sense.
Canadians would get more news coverage if they just burned a city or two. Honestly, this whole "Canadians are nice, polite people" thing is a bit suspicious.
What are you REALLY up to, Canada?
The difference between our country and yours, my friend, is that our "leader" has fanned the flames of division since the beginning of his political career (even before that, actually, but fewer people paid any attention to him back then).
Trump feeds "red meat" to his supporters, and he thrives on the disharmony it causes.
As a result, many Americans are harboring a great deal of pent-up anger and frustration. Much of the chaos the World is seeing from the States recently is a result of that rage boiling over.
I am not making an excuse for the chaos, I am merely pointing out a possible cause.
They are criminals and opportunists, yes?
Some might not even give a shit about BLM, but just want to grab a big TV, right?

I had to google the Miramar shootout. Sounds to me like trigger-happy, fuckwit cops lost control of the situation completely with terrible consequences. I hope those found guilty of using excessive force, or acting with reckless disregard for the safety of the public, had the full force of the law brought down upon them. I care, phart. Trust me - I do. I also have to throw in that an armed populace (the glorious 2nd amendment) and a routinely-armed Police force will inevitably lead to tragedies like Miramar.
It was NOT "the very thing that happened to Mr Floyd". You're either being deliberately dim, or you genuinely cannot see the difference between a shootout between robbers and the Police when compared to a single, black guy having a cop kneel on his neck until he is fucking DEAD. All this after he had pleaded with the pig, telling him he couldn't breath. By the way: have you now accepted that it's possible to vocalise even when you are being suffocated? You let that one drop rather quietly in another discussion!
Media bias, my arse!
I have watched unedited footage from the US over the last few days. I can turn the commentary OFF and see with my own, fucking eyes what's happening. Your gung-ho POTUS, with all his talk of "law and order", emboldens cops (like the 2 fuckwits in Buffalo who pushed over a Senior) to behave in the way they do. If his rhetoric was less inflammatory I believe cooler heads could find a way to extinguish the flames of protest/violence rather than fanning them.

Or maybe it will be "what about justice for all the descendants of members of the 7th Cavalry killed at Little Bighorn?" That would be equally relevant!!
But at the same time,what is the difference between cops killing 4 men,2 of them innocent,and cops killing 1 man? 3 more lives were lost.
At least you did notice the Trump speach keeps getting taken down. Media not biased? Yea right,tell me another joke.
As for the "current state of play" here in the US, you don't think this shit just started with the death of Floyd do you? Civil rights and fights and police brutality started along time ago.This "current state of play" has a large foundation of history.Go back and you will see that it is nothing new.What took so fucking long to get people stirred up?Why wait until a election year,DURING A PANDEMIC to riot and loot over the death of 1 man IF there was not a alterior motive behind it?
Had Mr Floyd passed away on his coach from a heart attack or od on medicine ,we would never had heard of him.
His death is being used as a tool to cause ruckus.The democrats use the Blacks as tools to get votes then abandon them as soon as they walk into the office the Blacks helped them get.But try explaining that to them.Good luck
And just to give you your daily laugh,what about restitution for the suffering my Cherokee ancestors were put thru by the government on the Trail of Tears? Oh,they weren't black so fuck em right?
I'm just about to dish up roast pork so I'll deal with the rest of your muddled thinking anon! Stay safe.
I use "the Blacks" because for whatever reason they seem to be using it themselves as AL Sharpton ask everyone to get their knees off their necks during a memorial service yesterday,He certainly was not talking about The American Indian or Hispanics.
I've told you before that language is powerful. Particularly in these troubling times, I would urge you to read that link.
Your supposition that, somehow, the fact that it's an election year makes the BLM protests sinister is baseless. People have been "stirred up", on and off, for decades. As Bella! has rightly pointed out: your Nation has been struggling with these issues for a long time. Remember Rodney King? My guess is that a lot of people do NOT yet think justice has been done, with regards to George Floyd. Are you willing to take a bet that the 3 other cops will NOT face any serious jail time? When that verdict comes down do you think people will just roll over and say "Oh well, it went to court and our judicial system is flawless when dealing with cops", or do you think further protest, riots and loss of life may follow? The fuckers who beat Mr King were initially acquitted - remember that?
I believe the "Trump speach"(sic) was taken down because of a copyright infringement issue. AND, dear phart, I was able to see it because you provided a link. Such terrible media bias!!! (sarcasm)
Your suggestion that there was some "alterior" (sic) motive for people protesting fits your narrative, but has no evidence to back it. It is, however, quite reasonable to suppose that people being in "lockdown", because of Covid19, and the rate of US unemployment may have made people's fuses shorter. Then just get a cop to murder someone and .. bang! I'm not saying people aren't using it for reasons that aren't always that palatable, but maybe (for some) it was the latest in a long line of straws that broke the camel's back.
When you say "passed away on his coach", I'm guessing you mean "couch". I would also surmise that poor Mr Floyd would rather have had a life of relative anonymity, as opposed to BEING KILLED BY A COP!
You're descended from poor white trash AND Cherokee? Again, interesting but irrelevant. Sorry, as well, no belly laugh on that one.
If you feel you have ANY reason for thinking that my reaction to the sufferings of the Native Americans on The Trail of Tears would be "fuck em", I would be genuinely interested to hear it. I hope I have given the exact opposite impression, but am happy to be corrected if that has not come across.
Fuck you again .. and have a good weekend, buddy!
Not from poor white trash,just ordinary white folks that worked for a living.Back when my mom was young,if you didn't live on a farm,the neighbors did and the parents would send you over there to hoe cotton,pick cotton,and perhaps bring back a ham or 2 for the work to feed the family.
Aint ashamed of it at all.Granted,being a bit wealthy would have it's perks,but I think growing up understanding the meaning of work and it's rewards is 1 of the reasons I don't need to march in the streets and not being cuffed by cops.
I have to admit that adding "trash" was a cheap dig, hope you'll accept my apology.
My family, on my father's side, has been traced back to the mid 1600s. From then, until the early 20th century, they were all (the patriarchs) farm labourers who owned no land of their own. Good peasant stock!!
If anything, I may be guilty of a bit of inverted snobbery - I'm quite proud of coming from solid, working-class stock. Probably like you, phart, anything I have I have worked for. No trust fund or inherited wealth to speak of. The only difference might be that I WOULD be out marching in the streets. My guess is that you put great store in individualism, whereas I firmly believe in the concept of collective strength (particularly for the working class) as a counter to the ingrained strength/power of the elite.
Clearly states white man under picture.
Must have been wrong or corrected later.I thought I remembered it being a white man but was not sure.I just know for sure it was black violence against another human for sure.

Police wanted evidence as in who,how,when blah blah blah,,how the hell could we get any when all we could see was the bruises and shit in the bed because they wouldnt change the sheets often enough and her telling us?.We couldn't stay 24-7. Social security,In short," We know abuse happens but we do not have the man power to enforce all the rules and safty prodicals."
Clic.
Yep,a big government conglomerant,and they gave us that response.
So sorry if I seem a bit odd about that particular issue but damn it,there was no sense in that happening,but no one is rioting over it.
It is honestly worth watching.
I am sure this will make some people's heads explode, and it does require the viewer to have a modicum of empathy and an open mind, but it's worth a shot.

His general appearance and his well thought out words suggested that he was not just a random man making an eloquent statement, upon Google-ing him, he is Emmanuel Acho, a former NFL linebacker and now a sports analyst featured on ESPN.
That's a compliment btw!
Forgive me but what the hell has happened to basic law and order? If everyone thinks like Chicago,we are just supposed to sit under a tree and watch rioters burn the entire earth and do nothing?
Police can't protect,the military can't protect,and we aint supposed to protect ourselves?
What the fuck is going on?
You heard it hear first- this whole whinge will do NOTHING for the blacks. In fact, I predict crime to go up big time.
I hate to think where my anger would lead me,jail probably
This violence does nothing to further any agenda.
And to take away methods of preventing escalation of protest,is going backwards. Nets, silly string,whatever the hello it takes to prevent it from blowing up should be encouraged.

Here's some REAL statistics to chew on instead of some made up bullshit by a liberal nutjob!
From the F.B.I. uniform crime report...
10 million arrests were made in the U.S. last year.
Police officers were involved in 1004 FATAL shootings.
41 of those were unarmed people. 19 were white (anyone able to name just ONE of those people?), 9 were black, 13 were other races (anyone able to name just ONE of these people?).
89 police officers killed in the line of duty. No outrage for them racist bastards, right?! They got what they had coming to them, right?
There's a fine line between a civil society and an uncivilized one. That line is the police! Most of the time a thankless low paying job for all the bullshit that they put up with. Our leaders all have sworn an oath to protect us from violence foreign AND domestic. The ones allowing these things to continue in all these city's are complete failures and should be held accountable. No law AND order, there's no society.
Now, I ask again, do you believe as the B.L.M. people do, that The Police should in fact be "De-Funded"?
All your statistics are saniticed. They don't tell the whole story.
/dywqoolktjzspic.html
The ruse of protests are an excuse to loot rob & kill. No, baby, The protests are to bring to the attention of the general population how bad some practices are
Looting, robbing, and killing is done by trash and they should be rounded up and locked up. You conservatives always think us liberals are accepting of unlawful activity.
If that were true, we would stop hounding Trump.

"Defunding the police does not mean stripping a department entirely of its budget, or abolishing it altogether. It’s just about scaling police budgets back and reallocating those resources to other agencies, says Lynda Garcia, policing campaign director at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. “A lot of what we advocate for is investment in community services — education, medical access… You can call it ‘defunding,’ but it’s just about directing or balancing the budget in a different way.”

I guess the truth of defunding doesn't fit your rabid narrative.
"NO police to be summoned when needed" is NOT a result of defunding. You're making stuff up, you unpleasant half-wit.
You've REALLY hurt my feelings.
Next time you claim a debilitating health issue, then post a picture of it, claiming to be you, and I come along with heartfelt wishes (despite my disdain for your political views), and post it on your picture, then learn that it was all bullshit in order to seek some sort of sick twisted sympathy or attention, perhaps then, I'll find some special words for you too! Until then, fuck off!
That was meant for one shit for brains. Why you'd wanna insert yourself into that portion of the conversation, escapes me. Maybe just maybe she makes you horny. To each their own. Go for it!
Nevertheless, I'm not "misunderstanding" a damn thing about defunding whether it be by 10% or 100% like Minnesota is trying to do. The VAST majority of Police officers uphold the law every single day. If anything, they should recieve increases as the jobs pay is shit for what the brave men and women of our law enforcement go through. Because of the actions of a few, oh yeah, A FEW! The whole system should be gutted and reformed? I don't think so!
You claimed that "NO police" would be able to be "summoned when needed". It's there in your post, as clear as day.
That's NOT TRUE. I point it out and you engage in bullshit sophistry to try and make out that you're not a fuckwit who misunderstood the concept of defunding. Not buying it - so go fuck yourself.
Let's try appealing to common sense:
If a Police force was "defunded" by 10%, and the money saved was spent on mental health workers, and that resulted in less crime and safer streets would you be in favour? In a large Nation you could even trial that approach on a small scale to see if it works.
Personally, from what I've seen on my television screen, reforming the whole system sounds like a good idea. Paying cops more also sounds worthy of consideration - then maybe they would stop kneeling on necks and killing people, or pushing over Seniors in Buffalo.

and you still have your knee on a handcuffed man's neck. You're a murderer.
As I said, nothing would justify his death but I'm still not clear what would have been the cause for the 3 police officers to have him pinned on the ground.
edit, a quick googling,

Well, if the death of a man was going to keep Chauvin from being implicated, charged and possibly convicted of that illeg@lity, I can't imagine that being charged with murder is going to yield better results.
Sucide watch? Is that not tighter security for the cop? Could it be a way to hide the fact he may be talking?THeorys but there is more to the story than we are being told.
Making sure he was dead perhaps and couldnt' talk?
The theator in your mind needs to pull back the curtains a little so you can see a bigger screen!
At which point OR what exactly makes the actions of the police officer in question, racially motivated!? That was not a rhetorical question, yet, no one, even the menace answered it. What part of what happened justifies the ridiculous BLM movement/members to get involved? Is this another case of it's ok to have a dedicated education fund, colleges and many other things solely for ONE race, but NO other race can do or say the same? Why is that (also NOT a rhetorical question)?
12 black lives were snuffed out or extinguished this past weekend in St. Louis alone, by other blacks. 21 were stamped out in Chicago this past weekend. Where's the outcry! I also asked that question in your thread and once again, not one single response. Now I ask you, why even no responses to my questions? I would like to hear other points of view. These aren't flippant questions or an attempt to be incendiary. They are real questions.

Is it ONLY acceptable to maim and or kill a member of the same race as you are, now? THEN, It's ok!
How about the Police, since EVERTIME a black person gets pulled over or commit a crime and a white police officer is involved race is invoked. Why is that. How should something like that be handled so as racism doesn't get decried every single time? The scream of racism is so over used and played out I'm personally sick of it. Just because two people of different colors interact with one another in opposition of one another doesn't automatically qualify the act as RACIST!
As far as posting questions and not receiving a response, I can't answer that HOWEVER I fear some members might not feel comfortable posting their thoughts if their views differed from whomever.
The death of George Floyd is an ugly mark on our country as us as her people.
"thousands of black men women and children are killed in African countries every day, but l didn't see one other country care one iota about any of them, but when one BLACK AMERICAN dies, the world melts down. thousands of blacks in other countries die every day, theyre shot, run over, bludgeoned to death, but not one even makes it to the news. all l see now is a whole of idiots rioting and causing 'drama' for the world to see. l see that now that they have trashed the country, theyre all lining up at the white house to trash it too.. shows how much love you all have for the country. gee lets go and trash the white house, blame trump because he's not Moses and cant part the sea and make it all better with the wave of his magic wand. l would actually like to see this George Floyds rap sheet before l make a comment about the man, as most times these guys get shot, theyre running from a crime. l seen one a few years ago about a black guy getting shot, right after he walked out of a shop that he regularly 'shopped for free' at by walking in and taking what he wanted and with camera footage of him throwing the shopkeeper to the side to get his 'free' ciggies, he gets shot and then his momma wondered why they shot him???? 'but hes a good boy' ... yeah, now they want to riot here too????. and the looting??? l thought is theft??? lets loot real peoples jobs and fuck the place to make it right??? that doesn't make sense, protests are about joining for a common cause, looting and rioting is thugs and mugs using this as their excuse to widen that gap of 'us and them' a bit more, the ones looting are no better than the cop with knee of a possible criminals throat... its all bullshit... and anyone in these crimes against the honest people just trying to make a living, who is going to riot over the millions of dollars of riots????"
And......
"yeah, like l said, what about the thousands that have died and are still dying from china flu. didn't see any riot over the chinese, and trump trying to sever the ties there??? everyone that stole, rioted, looted and insighted violence, should all have their heads held under water till they behave themselves. humans matter, no matter what colour, and this isn't a colour thing, this was one arsehole cop who was known to have been overly hard handed and wasn't stood down earlier, once the hand cuffs go on. he is arrested, there was no need for the rest of the bullshit from him or the tens of thousands that went berserk on the streets, it doesn't help ... that's not how you make a bad situation better. the news reporters are all only there for their 'award' for being in a dangerous spot. and a lot of these idiots love a camera to play too. ... its the way humans have evolved since the invention of the hand held recording device."

I don’t think it’s about Floyd’s death at all it’s just an excuse for people in big cities to behave badly the city of Lebanon is 98 percent Puerto Rican’s and they are having an up rising they need to learn in this country we have laws I don’t go to their country and raise hell
My question to you is: Do you want to trade places?
On the first post I rebuted
This man, Floyd, passed a counterfeit $20 bill when paying at a store. I have had bad bills passed to me. Regardless of his rap sheet, was this enough to murder him?
The thousands killed in African countries should be something the 54 countries of Africa should be responsible for. Idi Amin killed for years. Pandemics come and go with no help from the local governments. Most countries try to help. Doctors without borders, Unicef, the Red Cross, but anything else is rebuffed by the local governments
As far as the China flue is concerned, it wasn't caused by a Minneapolis cop
Those were my rebuttals. I did not see your rebuttal or comment
Oh, maybe I should pretend and say that I was in the process of rebooting my phone or whatever and when I opened the site, I couldn't help but notice all the HATEFUL POSTS about me and our country. Yeah, hate runs rampant here in the United States. Kumbaya, all the happy law abiding folks with love in their heads, hearts and mouths live elsewhere, certainlynothere. And you, the person who she has dubbed, the "main attraction", she has you perfectly trained to eat the treats fed to you straight from her hand.
"you people cant even work out your differences between black and white, and hate is something you must all be taught at school, judging by they way the country behaves, you see it here every day, black/white, class, and even your grammar police love to toss shit at each other, it must be a fucked up boring arse country, so much bitching and no fixing ... just yell at each some more and show us all that America isn't great, its just full of hot air, guns and self righteousness, all trying to one up each other useless shit, and when the real shit hits the fan, you all start the shit tossing again, blame game everyone, and at the end of it all, it MUST BE TRUMP that caused it. he gets the blame for everything "
And you, the person who she has dubbed, the main attraction, she has you perfectly trained to eat the treats fed to you straight from her hand.
this tidbit comes from Bella
Treats are just that, treats. But, you seem to think I agree with all she posts. I don't. However, an exchange of views is always healthy. If you give the other person some slack due to their form of speak you will see that while you may not agree, you can still be on the high road.
That first sentence tells me you are both hiding from her and at the same time, hoping she reads you post.
As far as whom is to blame, both of you are. This site is big enough that neither one of you two need to meet up.
And what about Trump? do you think if and/or when he loses the election all his supporters will continue to support him? Or will they abandon him to his fate?

Given just those 2 elements, if I was a black American and saw a guy get murdered (a la George Floyd) I would be angry as hell. If there was a local (peaceful) protest I would probably join it.
If I then saw my POTUS (yes, he SHOULD speak for ALL Americans) behave as he has over the last few days I would be even angrier.
Does any of that mean the murder was racially aggravated? We don't know - the scumbag hasn't been in court yet. To say it definitely WASN'T racially motivated (or aggravated) is as screwy as to say it definitely WAS.
How you, as a Nation, learn to live in peace with yourselves is above my pay grade. However, leaders seeking conciliation and respect for each other would be a good start. I fear you will not see that from the present resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Perhaps our criminal justice system is skewed, and there are issues in our criminal justice system that need to be reviewed and overhauled. ie, you might be in prison for life without the possibility of parole because of multiple d/rug offenses but be paroled for murder. That's messed up.
Do you think #MeToo would have been so much of an issue if sexism and sexual misconduct wasn't such a massive stain on human interactions? If things ring true for a Nation, a gender or any other distinct group, a movement will prosper. If it's a "non-issue" it will wither.
The fact that there are hundreds of George Floyd/BLM protests now going on outside the US confirms that you're not alone, as a Nation, in having problems with racism - it's just a question of scale, in some respects. I was, however, trying to give a personal perspective as to why the US is in such a state NOW.
White boy rick was released from the Oaks Correction Facility in Michigan in April 2017 and turned over to U.S. Marshals. Wershe is being housed at TTH Kissimee FL after spending nearly three decades behind bars in Michigan as a nonviolent drug offender.
His incarceration is a reflection of our justice system being messed up.
Sorry, our JUDICIAL system needs to be overhauled.

are just starting.
I have not watched the footage but no behaviour by Mr Floyd justifies the behaviour of the arresting cops. Over here cops wear vest cams and this can confirm the events as they happened. I agree with you, where is the vest cam footage?
I may be wrong, but I seem to recall a incident not long ago when a US cops shot dead a woman in her car, she had been the one to call out the cops and amazingly there was no vest cam footage there either. it does make you wonder.
Being a rational person, I hope, I can't understand why they do that and the complain that the police were aggressive. Without their struggle to avoid cuffing there would be no incident.
The United States is not a third world country and I've often wondered whether disgraceful crimes like this happen anywhere else. Whether there is hate, bigotry and racial tension anywhere else. I've asked the question and two members did respond. People are people and "he's" a reflection of me, "you" are a reflection of her.....
This is not that common but BAME communities, certainly in large cities, do see racism in many police actions.
BAME = Black, Asian and Multi Ethnic
I've always lived in Michigan and it wasn't until 2017 that I ventured outside of the United States and saw some of Europe. I don't know that I can even articulate what/how I felt as a "tourist". This leads me to wonder, generally speaking, are Americans viewed as ignorant, hot headed, barbaric, vulgar heathens? Yes, sadly in the 21st century, racism still exists. If there is a utopian society somewhere, please tell me where.
The point that I was making was that in the case I have seen on television the suspect who is fighting and struggling has brought the more physical response on themselves. I am amazed at even when on the floor and being cuffed that the suspect continues to fight and struggle.
If the arrest is erroneous accept it got to the station and with your lawyer argue your case.
I am only referring here to the incidents that I have seen on television, in almost every case the struggling suspect has a criminal record.
The researchers found that the percentage of black men with a felony conviction increased from 13% in 1980 to 33% in 2010 (compared to 5% and 13% for all adult men during these periods, respectively). They also estimate that the percentage of black men who had experienced imprisonment increased from 6% in 1980 to 15% in 2010 (compared to 2% and 6% for all adult men during these periods, respectively)
This shows that black men are arrested more often than whites

Do it fool!
Between 2013 and 2019, police in the United States killed 7,666 people, according to data compiled by Mapping Police Violence, a research and advocacy group. On May 25, 2020 at 9:25pm (02:25 GMT, May 26), George Floyd, a 46-year-old resident of Minnesota, became yet another victim of police brutality as he was killed in police custody while unarmed. Floyd's death has prompted thousands of protesters to march in cities around the country demanding justice and an end to police violence.
The number of police killings in the US disproportionately affects African Americans. Despite only making up 13 percent of the US population, Black Americans are two-and-a-half times as likely as white Americans to be killed by the police.
The map below shows how disproportionate these killings are across the US's 50 states.
Unsurprisingly, the three largest states - California, Texas and Florida - have the highest total number of killings of Black people by police officers. Once these figures are adjusted for the population size and demographics, in nearly every state, African Americans face a significantly higher risk of being killed by police officers than white Americans.
In Utah, the African Americans comprise just 1.06 percent of the population but they accounted for 10 percent of police killings over the past seven years - a disproportional rate of 9.21 times. In Minnesota, Black Americans are nearly four times as likely to be killed by law enforcement, with Black victims comprising 20 percent of those killed, despite comprising only 5 percent of the overall population.
HOW CAN THIS BE? ASSHOLE SCORPS SAYS THE NUMBERS ARE OLD.
If they showed all the peaceful, co-operative suspects being detained people would switch channels like a flash. By definition, therefore, we get a skewed vision of how people interact with the Police.
You're right, though: no behaviour by Mr Floyd justifies what happened to him. Even if you're being arrested for the most heinous crime, you still have rights.
I am not defending the police here or anywhere else I am just saying fighting against arrest generally is a mugs game.
You're trying to impress an audience?
You're seeing if you can provoke the cop so you can sue him later?
Doesn't really matter does it - the cops are the ones AT WORK, trained and under a massive obligation to do the right thing, even when at risk to their own personal safety. That's what they signed up for, right?
Yeah, fighting them is a mug's game. A lot of criminals are mugs, but there are also mugs who haven't broken the law (or have done so in a very minor way) and NEITHER group should be subjected to extrajudicial killing.

I'm not sure I would be any good as a judge. I'm not wired that way. The emoticon took the place of "in my opinion". You will notice it's almost always
It's the closest I can come to KISS MY ASS AND not say it
I do post it in other threads too
This makes me wonder if there are more homeless men or women. What are your thoughts? I tend to think it might be men but I don't know whether there are stats on this.
Oh Almighty God, whose great power and eternal wisdom
embraces the universe.
Watch over all policemen and law enforcement officers.
Father in Heaven please give them the strength,
courage and perseverance to endure
The unjust condemnation, danger, and physical abuse
to which they are at times subjected.
We recommend them to your loving care because their duty is dangerous.
Dear God, grant these brave men your almighty protection,
Unite them safely with their families after duty has ended.

I'm personally disturbed to see how many thugs, low lifes, and pieces of trash walk freely amongst us, so unnerving! Certainly an interesting side note, is that all the the city's experiencing the criminal behavior, are liberal run shitholes. What a coincidence... The behavior of these degenerates is completely uncalled for & accomplishing NOTHING! The Mayor and Governor of Minneapolis should step down as they are totally inept. Disgraceful!
I don't know how we, as a country, can fix our mess but I hold hold out hope that we aren't too far gone and are fixable.
CC hope your son is safe
Help? "Violence begets violence".
I believe you are a Midwestern middle age woman with some success at work. You are a little past your prime but still have enough "HOT SAUCE" to bring excitement to a man. Being from the Midwest, you have a limited view of the world but are open minded enough to give other world ideas a chance. You don't discriminate but get a bad taste in your mouth if that idea does not come from a wasp. Last but not least, you hold a grudge for ever.
What I DON"T understand,and Perhaps Countrycouple can explain,is why the cops just stand back and let the rioters burn and rob and cause chaos? Why is there not just bus loads of rioter being delt with each night? For the law to stand back and do nothing,leaves the citizens no choice but to provide their own protection and defend themselves. Which of course the rioters will riot again if that happens.
As far as arresting trouble makers, I'm all for it. Why they don't? I don't understand it either
And perhaps you might be open to sharing with me via private message, exactly what you feel my grudge is.
BUT READ the link I sent you,the rioters, or protesters,can be ask to move by law enforcement out of the way of the public using public property. once told, they are in violation ,what are their motives if they are willing to do that? Friendly, Perhaps some,but not all. THe fed ex driver saw guns, and he got the hell out of dodge. And he was pulling doubles, try backing those.He had no option but get beat up and robbed or drive thru.
First, somewhere in the site history you will find my post the day after the elections that brought Trump to power. I posted, Right or wrong, he is now my president. Since then I want him out. Not dead.
I give him credit for
He invited the Taliban to Camp David
He gave Turkey a green light to invade Syria and attack our Kurdish allies
He asked the president of Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden
He used his emergency authority to circumvent Congress on the border wall
He lost a needless government shutdown fight.
He allowed the pandemic to kill thousands needlessly
BOTH YOU AND PHART ARE JUST DYING TO "SHOW THOSE MOTHEFUCKERS HOW TOUGH YOU ARE."
HATING MY RADICAL VIEWS (views held by at least half the country)AND CALLING ME NAMES IS HATING ME.

Clearly I’m on her mind 24/7 unless she is fantasizing about what it would be like to be with a real man instead of a midget
It surprises that she refers to you in this way; "is the biggest wanker on this site, he is a vulgar mouthed, trouble maker, liar, bullshit artist,,,,,,,"
When I read that, I said, "surely, she has dgraff mixed up with someone else!" I stopped short of your entire (WHY?) and rather then using an ellipsis, I chose commas.
Bella is pretty much the same. She posts a lot, and she's got a nice set of Tatas, but nothing to compare with Lix's. maybe you thought I was comparing Tatas. I meant the huge amount of pics and videos the GOOD DAY MATES two posted
Let me agree with you about "Your exchange of thoughts were with dgraff"but Dgraff mentioned you first
I seen a post one time about how much lixsipsucket does for this site just being curious I go to the activity meter and low and be hold what do I see Bella at 1294 and even Dgraff at 405 then there is lixsipsucket at 390 now who is doing what for this site

"you people cant even work out your differences between black and white, and hate is something you must all be taught at school, judging by they way the country behaves, you see it here every day, black/white, class, and even your grammar police love to toss shit at each other, it must be a fucked up boring arse country, so much bitching and no fixing ... just yell at each some more and show us all that America isn't great, its just full of hot air, guns and self righteousness, all trying to one up each other useless shit, and when the real shit hits the fan, you all start the shit tossing again, blame game everyone, and at the end of it all, it MUST BE TRUMP that caused it. he gets the blame for everything now.. "
What was even more interesting, this post was made minutes prior and in yet another thread.
"gee not only are they rioting in the streets again in ermerryka, but the brawling troll and her punching bag are also rolling it all around forum and bring 'us aussies' into IT's shit fight, who cares anymore what happens over there, go get your guns and sort it the fuck out once and for all... who really cares who mentions what here , only a hagged old troll with piles lm guessing... if IT wants to spends IT's time trying to out wit and up talk Itself, be the weather broadcaster, the news presenter, the comedic relief, we should all chip in and buy IT a bus ticket to minniapolis and see if its big mouth gets it attention there.. lm sure that city needs enlightening with its allknowing powers of deduction"
If this isn't a reflection of a person whose head and heart are full of hate and a mouth full of lies, I don't know what is! All I can say is WOW!
To all, if you feel the need to convey my sentiments along to her, please do, but I do feel the BOSS BITCH will find them on her own.

I, on my part, asked, "her punching bag are also rolling it all around forum". Who is her punching bag?
Just so you know, he blacklisted me years ago, well after any of my posted comments on his pictures and after I verified him. You boast about being around for years, didn't your friend/friends tell you that I called her out in the forum after she had words to say about me being prejudiced and intolerant toward people? Oh, yeah and after all that, she has the balls to whine about Australia being overrun by immigrants and basically, the Muslims were the worst of all. For sure, she is a frikken hypocrite. When that all went down, she hadn't blacklisted me, nor I, her. Blacklisting by her of me probably happened a short time after. Yeah, and my guess is that she had her lap dog blacklist sometime after that. What's amusing about the couple is that 2 years ago, when I authored STUFF, JUST STUFF, her lap dog had already blacklisted me but had to unblacklist me to post in that thread. Once done, he blacklisted me again. I bitched to admin about my blacklister posting in my thread and basically admin laughed at me and told me if I didn't want lap dog posting in my thread that I needed to blacklist him back and I did just that. And once lap dog wasn't able to access my thread, he made another STUFF, JUST STUFF thread, which as you can see is dated a month or two behind mine.
Those two are something else! I know you think the world of them, good for you, good for them! YOU EARNED every kiss that she sent you, displayed on your page.
On Aussie's thread, many times the damage is done. I'm one more comment maker.

Canada does have racial problems but not nearly on the scale of the US.
Fact is, MORE white people are killed by police than black people. Where's that outrage?! Or is that just ok?
There's not a single chance that the death caused by the officer was from a power hungry, sadistic person, huh? Not a chance in hell huh? His actions were SOLELY because the guy was black, right?! Prove it!
--------------------------------------- added after 11 minutes
It's getting to the point where black people can do no wrong, and if you try and punish them, you're a racist! WTF kinda bullshit is that?! You're driving down the street with expired and or stolen plates, I pull you over, you act like a fucking complete jack-off not following my requests, once I figure out who the fuck you are, you have NO driver's license, and three warrants for your arrest for various other things. Now, how is the officer a racist for doing his job? (btw this is just an example of some reality tv I saw recently, nothing to do with George.) But the entire time the policeman was being accused of being a racist not only by the guy but by some bystanders. I'm just personally sick of the race baiting and divisions. As if all black people are saints with not a racist bone amongst the lot of them. That's fucking bullshit, racism lives in ALL races, period! Just like that fucking idiot that got killed in "Ferguson, Mo." not far from me.
--------------------------------------- added after 25 minutes
There's an example of a reasonably justifiable killing (Michael Brown), hence no charges EVER being brought against the officer (Darren Wilson). But I bet you he's being lumped into "all the poor black people being killed by white police officers movement" right?
So if a black police officer shoots or kills a white guy should white people IMMEDIATELY start screaming racist? Think it hasn't happened? Let me guess... There's just absolutely no way that a black cop could ever be racist, right?
Scorps, be VERY clear on one thing:
If the police officer didn't murder Mr. Floyd this would NOT have happened. Agreed?
NO GUNS LESS KILLINGS
1st what the fuck do guns have to do with this topic? No gun was used...
2nd "no white people were ever linched by a black mob" you don't know shit from shinola, you're just saying whatever the fuck you wanna say.
3rd white people are constantly stopped and frisked every single day at every airport.
4th some horrific things have been done to some black people undoubtedly, but conversely some really horrific shit has been done to white people at the hands of black people. Only you and some other nitwits fool yourselves into believing the poor black people are all innocent as pure snow. In which case I say to you, shut the fuck up stupid!
Statistics are statistics! While you wanna point them out for YOUR convenience. When they (black people and you white morons) start screaming blacks are disproportionately pulled over more than whites, ESPECIALLY in black neighborhoods, don't forget to mention the fact that there's only a 5% population of white people in that area, so of course there are gonna be more blacks pulled over than whites, duh! But that just wouldn't fit your narrative of rampant racism, now would it?
IF YOU CANNOT READ RIGHT THATS YOUR PROBLEM

All I can say is that this is one effed up and hateful white woman.

The reason that I posted this video was that you could hear in the tone of her voice, Amy Cooper wanted the 9-1-1 police dispatcher to believe that her life was in jeopardy. My guess is that with no job and no dog, Ms. Cooper will be able to get outta town a whole lot faster.

Oh and btw... THAT was clearly some racist shit there! Unlike some of these deaths, etc. at the hands of police officers.
So now if I call a black person a motherfucker or a bum I'm a racist? How about an ignorant cocksucker? Piece of shit? Are those a bit strong, do those qualify as racist remarks? Imagine if I call the ones that qualify for it, criminals. >gasps< shame on me!

Oh and if you've heard or witnessed REAL racist comments from an official and YOU didn't do or say anything about it to their or your superiors, what does that say about you?
A peaceful march down main street,speaches at the park,a petion, some tv coverage, sure,that is freedom of speech and those folks have something to say.
BUT To burn down buildings and create general chaos in a city,that is terrorism and should be brought to a screeching halt by military force if need be.

I hope everyone can row back from what is a terrible situation. The poisonous views in this thread make me not want to comment further. The US sure is a troubled Nation.
"A black reporter from CNN was arrested while legally covering the protests in Minneapolis," the network pointedly noted. "A white reporter also on the ground was not."
WOULD THIS BE RACIST BY THE COPS?
What is interesting is that there are a couple of posts made by ANGEL1227 to preexisting posts thereby burying my current topic for discussion. Lo and behold at 11:48 there's a post is made about Minnesota in, guess where.....ANGEL1227's thread.
So rather than attempting to discuss anything here, direct your thoughts to her thread.

The riots were by mixed groups and happened in many schools. If I remember correctly, a member of the school's ROTC or maybe a member of the national guard shot by mistake one of the protesters. A real tragedy

A number of years ago, 2nice posted a recipe for deviled eggs that were YUM! JustWill has shared his mother's recipe for tuna noodle casserole and the other day, a member mentioned that his beef casserole was almost finished cooking and the day before, he was preparing lamb.
Exactly what is it that you enjoy preparing and/or eating?
Back to your meatloaf and scalloped potatoes, is there anything special that you do to it, seasoning, a special sauce, etc? Do you prepare your scalloped potatoes from scratch? Tell me more, tell us more! Please?
I chop onions, green olives, garlic powder and cloves, chopped tomatoes and with a spaghetti sauce on top. I cook it for 50 minutes and check. Fifteen minutes before i take it out I surround the meat with mashed potatoes cooked on top of stove. I like to take the mashed and mix it with the spaghetti sauce. I garnish with green olives on toothpicks.
As for the cost and availability of ground beef, Canada now has a handle on the cleanliness of our meat processing plants and the safety of the people that work in them so it's back to normal.
Another thing that is awesome is creamed corn on your mashed potatoes!
a quick google,
"Ambrosia" is a sugar-enhanced sweet corn (Zea mays) variety with bicolored kernels and a seed-to-harvest duration of 68 to 72 days. Growing "Ambrosia" sweet corn in gardens can be a rewarding venture, but if your planting depth is incorrect, it can quickly turn into a disappointing venture.
Sadly, I have "food rules" and that particular dish broke the rules.
Btw your rack is fucking nice make me wanna squeeze them
Bella, do you let them get squeezed?

I like peanut butter.
A lot.
That is all.
I eat peanut butter all the time. I like it with Ritz Crackers, with a cream sauce and cashews on chicken, in cookies, by the spoonful, and of course in sandwiches.
CHEEZ WHIZ AND PEANUT BUTTER IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I have mentioned it here before, but my all time favorite is a peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. Seriously! Very tasty.
