HA! Good Fun! No I dont agree with much of what he says, I agree with him only on things that align with my current political views. So for example I dont agree with his attacks on the military at all and anything to do with for example LGBT discrimination And I agree with him on some of the things he says about BLM, not all But the point I was making is it is silly to ignore him and think he doesn't matter, its always important to understand the sentiment of opposition parties and their ideological views . Thats what political insight requires , dont shoot the messenger "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

It would be inaccurate because the definition of terrorism doesn't change and terrorism is where you use violence to achieve a political objective This guy was fleeing a domestic violence incident or something similar and he drove his car into innocent people so its not terrorism but very criminal "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

And not even attempt to dodge people... There have been some whispers that he did so as part of rage for the recent KR verdict, which would make it political. I guess we need to wait until more details will be published.

Gorth Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 The most obvious option is of course also the most boring. Somebody barely scraping by in society (seemingly going from verdict to verdict throughout life) having a spat with his partner and never learnt how to deal with anger management issues decided to go on a road rage, not giving a damn about who or how many he kills in the process. Mental health is not something you talk about and it's very unlikely to be offered to those who needs it most (it's probably almost as bad as being a communist and it costs money... lots of money, because US health care is amongst the worlds most inefficient when it comes to value for money). 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

After half a decade preaching the superiority of Europeans for not making suicidal decisions about their futures, Tom Booker is concluding that protesters burning down primary schools in the Netherlands have made him look like a wanker. He said: “Guys. Hey, guys. You’re meant to be the rational ones, remember? “You know, pro-economic good sense, anti-climate change, pro-science. What’s all this rioting? We’ve all had our vaccines, and we’re a nation of delusional idiots. “I get that you’re angry at lockdowns. We were, but only because our leader’s a pitiful xenophobic chancer who refused to learn from the continent. Your leaders are cool multi-lingual technocrats, yeah? I only know Macron and Merkel but I assume they are." “If you’re having lockdowns and we’re not, and you’re rioting and we’re not, it’s almost like you’re not effortlessly better than us and my whole dream of Europe as a sensible, wonderful paradise that always does everything right was a delusion. “And it definitely wasn’t, because the ones who base their politics on delusions of national superiority are the other side. And they’re bad and I’m nothing like them.” Edited November 23, 2021 by Raithe "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilloutman Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I don't understand anything what is being sad above. I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Oh the normal things I have been raising for about 12-18 months that include The lack of law enforcement in mostly Democrat controlled cities where you see looting and criminality Any revisionist or selective history ideas that include topics like CRT or suggesting the history of the US is built on racism, slavery and oppression only And then I dont agree with him when he says BLM is a violent organisation that adds no value All members of BLM are the same or similar to Antifa. Antifa is separate to BLM I also dont think you can compare violent BLM protests to the Capitol attacks on the 6th January, the Capitol violence was and is worse "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

HA! Good Fun! ps just an aside, complete unrelated to the topic at hand, is noteworthy the boulder shooter were originally identified as a "white male" suspect by numerous media sources. were a few pundits who, after the fact, apologized for their hasty generalizations. regardless, initially, the shooter were described by police and media as caucasian.

Good Fun! late ps: while it were noted in the vid how on a macro level the case is interesting as it is yet another statistic which shows how different defendants is treated based on their race, sex and whatnot, am thinking the commentator left out a detail which Gromnir also failed to mention save in the same tangential manner-- money. the rittenhouse defense was robust sourced via crowdfunding. is unlikely anybody regular posting on this board coulda' afforded the rittenhouse defense and defendant money is not one o' those common collected data points. poor people get public defenders, who are actual quite competent in spite o' many tv portrayals. rich people get the best defense money can buy. ordinary folks get the best defense they can afford, which as often as not, is mediocre.
