@raphjd said in Ithica NY appoints cop killer to "police reform board":

@bi4smooth

I can see you in those "fags for islam" marches.

Anything that supports a liberal idea, is your dogma.

Cop killers do not belong on a board for police reform, just like a child rapist doesn't belong on a child protection board.

I don't question whether it is a provocative appointment... I've said from the beginning that I haven't (and don't really care to) looked into this guy's resume... all I'm saying is that something he did 40 years ago shouldn't, by itself disqualify him!

@bi4smooth

OK, let's call it KARMA then. 👍 👍 👍

@bi4smooth

Not true, at least not in the UK.

In the west, it's racist for whites to adopt non-whites, so that would be a story.

Black-on-white crime is rarely reported, regardless of the details.

Social Services shits all over kids in care, for a lot of reasons.

@raphjd This has happened many times before. It seems like MOST racist graffiti turns out to be a hoax.

I believe the whole of the British Empire - old and new, including the anti-monarchist United States - shares in the grief and sorrow of Queen Elizabeth II, and the rest of the British Royal Family.

May he rest in peace, and may the Royal Family find solace in the fact that he is no longer in physical pain.

I really hate intersectionality.

Politicians use it to just prove they're as bigoted and racist as ever.

"Oh you need $500 to feed your family? Let me see. Poor - check, single mother of 2 - check, skin color - oh wait honey, can't give this to you now. Next!"

@bi4smooth

Did you watch the video?

If you did, then you would see that it's a decent source.

@stephenmd

You just can't help proving you are just another piece of crap liberal.

You can't defend your love of the anti-free speech law, so you have to attack me personally.

I have respect for a few liberals, but not the ones like you.

@raphjd It's too much work to read, or use common sense. This is today's culture. It's like we're back in medieval times. All someone has to do is accuse you of being a witch, and you'll find yourself burning to a stake buy an "unholy church."

@bi4smooth

Talk about being a hypocrite.

You tell me to google it, but you refused to google Obama stripping men of due process on college campuses.

Typical liberal.

@raphjd said in "Healthy at any size" vs C-19:

Online dating showed that women choose 20% of men, while men choose 80% of women.

Unsurprising for the US (almost all of Western?) Culture:

man are taught by our society to be the "aggressor" in relationships - men look for mates... women are taught by our society to be "passive" - women look to be woo'ed by potential mates...

This is also why gay MEN usually are so much more promiscuous than gay WOMEN! They are both the woo-er and the woo-ee on the dating sites, so even when they start a relationship, they are continually "found" by other men still looking...

The wolf/sheep metaphor works...

when wolves (men) are seeking their "prey" (women/sheep) and that prey looks to generally avoid being eaten, there is balance... there is a chasER and a chasEE but when wolves (men) are seeking other wolves (other men also "on the prowl") there is a much MUCH higher likelihood that they'll find what they're looking for!

So, if you're a woman on a dating app, you generally don't HAVE to reach out to males... you just sit back and wait for them to reach out to YOU and have your pick from amongst them! (MUCH MUCH less rejection that way! - at least for the woman!)

Is it fair? Hell no, but LIFE ISN'T FAIR, and it NEVER WILL BE! You cannot "fix" society to make it "fair for everyone" - that is a LIBERAL FANTASY!

That doesn't mean you can't work to make things fairER... but "completely fair" is a fantasy! Unobtainable, and totally different depending upon the eye of the beholder!

@anythingold said in Illinois Dems want to ban all violent video games:

@raphjd They've been after video games for a while. How about tryin' to ban gangs too? Let's see how that will turnout shall we?

Believe in science:

Studies show that the incidence of ACTUAL violence are statistically no different between players of "violent" video games and others....

This is the political party that loves to scream: "trust the science" when it suites their "Green New Deal" agenda, but then throw it away when it doesn't match their agenda...

How can you tell a politician is deceiving you? Their lips are moving!

@bi4smooth

You really do have a serious case of TDS.

Biden lies about absolutely everything, while Trump is a showboat liar like Muhammad Ali was.

@raphjd said in ACLU does something right, for once:

@bi4smooth

I thought you said you were a conservative-libertarian.

IF we went with national service, I do agree that no one gets an out for any reason, except for extreme mental/physical disability.

Mandatory public service is considered a conservative idea in many other countries... but it most certainly does not jive with pure libertarian idealism!

Still, 27 countries have mandatory MILITARY service: here

But I am not a slave to any political ideology: Social Security and Medicare are socialist programs - but I'm not fighting to abolish them! In other words, Conservative Libertarian describes my beliefs, but it does not define them!

In the GENERAL CASE, I think the Government should be small and keep out of people's personal lives... But, in practice, there must be exceptions: we need laws against fraud, for example...
