BruceVC Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) I think a big issue we in USA is having right now is that we are having some problems but in trying to "fix" the problems we are laying the blame on someone else. We WANT to fix these problems but we can't accept the fact that it maybe our fault or hell NO ONE's fault but we are having to blame someone other than ourselves or recognize that no one maybe at fault or it's just how it's going right now due to someone's decisions that was made before any of us was alive. We have all become "VICTIMS". I think you're grievously misunderstanding the people you seem to be arguing against here. No alum, this is different and relevant. I have a hard time treating the stance of anybody who seems to be incapable of grasping the concept of "it is possible to acknowledge that certain segments of society are benefiting from social structures that have their origin in deeply unsavory historical events without holding the very same people personally responsible for those events" as "different and relevant". Yes but to be fair this is more of an exploratory session to get some personal data, I know what you saying but in this case I dont want to judge anyone because then they wont be so keen to share Look at that. A SJW NAzi playing the 'white male privledge' card without actually stating the fact. Yeah, all white males are relaxing on a huge ship sourrounded by hot ladies who they can oogle drinking as much boozed as they want with no cares in the world and they do this all because someone remotely related to them years ago did horrible things. COME ON. I will not apologize for crimes I never commited. Don't like it too damn bad. I'm no more irresponsible for slavery or what happened to the Indians than I would be if my father wasa going around killing people to day. I would fell bad for the victims but I sure wouldn't apologize for something I had no part in. CAPICHE? CAPICHE. Unless you think black Afrikans whose ancestors were amongst the warlords who sold salves to the Europeans should also apologize and feel guilty for their crimes? COME ON. Funny enough the words " white privilege " are really used to describe white people, its not unreasonable as white people didn't suffer from Apartheid. Did I mention this to you as these are exact words ...I have no problem admitting white privilege. My dads side of the family are bankers and I dont lie about that ...yes I was very fortunate growing up/ Volo there are many things you need to accept and face, I can help you accept these things? You need to do this for yourself....dont do it because you want to impress the forum? But you need to committed?

Im a bit stoned and happy AF bc a pretty lady came up and gave me her number, so I don't wanna go into the thoughts of politics right now. So I'll say that yes I do realize that's a reality in many things and sometimes wrong, the other times just unfair. I'm also not so closed eye'd to not only see a lot of people who DO have problems but is "misdiagnosing" it something different than what it is. Also I get what u saying Bruce, it still ties in because this is a thread about politics and right now people are feeling emotional BC of politics and ur country is going thru similiar emotions as well BC of politics there.

redneckdevil Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 BruceVC, it's more along the lines of "great timing". Yes it could very well be true that he did in fact sexually assault these women, but because of their timing right now instead of earlier, it also seems like another "set up" like how they instigated fights at his rally's and started making everyone including urself that the supporters were very violent. Also this is America, when something is slipped we EXPECT someone to come forward to take advantage of the situation for money. It's sad but that's something we have to accept when we give the victims the right to accuse and get justice without retaliation, we have to accept that sometimes scumbags will take advantage of the system that protects the victims for an out of court pay off.

This is why my biggest outrage with this election is the media corruption and why I'm quicker to condemn Clinton than Trump. Screwing with the media extends BEYOND the election cycle and ruins any sense of trust there was. It creates doubt and discourages people from trusting any news or even bothering with watching. Had I been that woman...? I would've purposefully saved my accusations til after the election if I wished to be taken seriously, for that exact reason. It has nothing to do with people doubting Trump is capable of such a thing and everything to do with people doubting the media even more. Now it's just sex scandal #7 that they doubt, but in the future it could be much more serious topics that are disputed. "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far.

Zoraptor Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Now it's just sex scandal #7 that they doubt, but in the future it could be much more serious topics that are disputed. That's also why 'propaganda' outfits like RT are far more effective than they should be. People in general think that they're either propaganda or slanted traditional media but that is only part of their purpose- the other part is to point out inaccuracies and foster distrust in traditional media. Indeed, it doesn't really matter if RT's take on something isn't believed, so long as the CNN/ BBC/ etc account isn't believed either. And in that section of the information war RT has no greater friend than western media itself who can be relied upon to shoot themselves in the foot and discredit themselves with very little encouragement. Combine that with both instant and permanent information from the internet and it's far more difficult to get away with things, and while it may be relatively few people who lose trust over a given issue trust tends to be lost permanently so they add up quickly over an extended period.
