@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.

@bi4smooth

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...

@bi4smooth

When we would visit our cousins, we sometimes had to play with girl dolls because that's what they had or when they came to our house they had to play with male dolls (action figures) because that's what we had.

My step sister was 12 when she came to live with us and both of my half-sisters were born while I was in the military. So they got our hand-me-down toys, plus new ones for themselves.

@raphjd said in Harry Shearer fired as Dr Hibert:

@bi4smooth

It is hypocrisy when they say that whites can't play any other race, but that other races can play whites.

I'll give you that.... (Hey! We agree on something!)

But, it's important to note here that no one lost their jobs: Harry Shearer (the prior voice of Dr. Hibert) will still be the voice of Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns & Smithers, and several others... just not Dr Hibert.

And, no one new was hired: Kevin Michael Richardson is already the voice of several characters (including Maggie LOL). The character was simply re-cast

That said, Harry Shearer has regularly threatened to leave the series over salaries... they make $300,000 PER EPISODE! (No one is paid per-character, so no one's pay is being changed, either!)

So this is either extremism looking for something to be outraged about, or rich people fighting over who voices a bit-part... (Did you see that dog pee on that mailbox over there! That's disrespectful to the men and women of the USPS! -- Oh wait, maybe its just a dog being a dog...)

In more striking and unsettling news:

Did you know that Blue's Clues replaced the mail with email?

"We just got a letter" is now "we just got an email"

AAAACCCCKKKK!!!

What about the voice actor who played Mailbox?

@raphjd Thank you so much for adding this block feature. I could just imagine the fuckery he is typing.... I don't have the patience for liberals anymore. Everything down to the new anti-discrimination bill is all for show. They don't give a fuck about anyone. They only care about the sound of their own voices.
