So here's a thing: I like that in response to black's quite frankly amazingly well mannered response of "hey, sometimes you gotta focus on one issue to avoid cluttering the message" red's come back is basically just "nuh-uh". He can't for one fraction of a second stop thinking about himself. Also, blue can go lick a wall socket. All in all, fantastic stuff, Trivia.

God some of the people on my fb list are loving awful. The first one works at walmart, and has for like 12 years, and posts no shortage of things about those "urban thugs" and their savagery in his store. I realy want to reply to this one with "If only those uppity negroes knew how to handle themselves in public they wouldn't get shot" but I feel like it would be lost on this crowd.  And this lovely lady is a new Social Worker/Probation officer who constantly whines about poor people, and "those people" and how they act in court.  Context: this is about the police who shot the black dude in wal-mart who was holding a bb gun.

Seriously, gently caress that guy for running a campaign heavily based on fearmongering to rich Chinese people about how a return of affirmative action to California will mean caps on Asian enrollment at UCs and thus babby's rightful slot at Cal or UCLA will go to some undeserving black or Latino untermensch instead. That sucks. I have to find a new barber because last time I was in they were laughing over a picture in the local paper about a little league team that was mostly black and saying how, in ten years, this would be a page of mug shots. Then spent the next 10 minutes just repeating "white privilege" and laughing. I wish I were joking.

I know there's a soccer team in the area, so its a matter of time. The time he ended a rant with "They can then shove their tax exemption cards right up their asses with their dole cheques" was enough for me to stop going.

It's just an extension of the temporarily embarrassed millionaire thing. Everyone wants to see all the cool poo poo they have been promised they could get for talents that are hard to comprehend and thus easy to imagine they could have. We gawp at celebrities because we know soon we will be celebrities. We celebrate their every moment as our own, and their every failure as proof that we will be better than them.

I get a lot of stuff like this from people that I went to high school with. No story, no link, no nothing.  I was curious and within five seconds of Googling found out that the superintendent clarified the policy and the kid can bring his bible. Also, the story is from January. Actually, most of the "Being Christian" page is feel good videos involving kids, animals, or people with disabilities beating the odds in some way. Yet, the shares from this particular person (and others that I went to school with) are always about godless society, kids these days (mostly "sluts and thugs"), and Obummer.

Admittedly I'm kind of curious what he was doing standing in front of that shelf, at first I figured he was just having a hard decision over whether he wanted to buy something or not but hes there for over five minutes. Note that this is not in any way condoning what looks like a pretty clear cut case of straight up loving murder by a police officer up to and including what appears to be at least one 'kill shot' after the man went down, but I really do want to know what was taking so long.

Apparently he was on the phone talking to his family elsewhere in the store. It's still irrelevant since I've dawdled in store before and never had someone call the police on me.

Sorry not trying to be combative. Just a little trigger happy (edit: oops bad word choice) since I'm really tired of people in real life always trying to find a reason the victims weren't acting the "correct" way and were responsible for their own murders.

Zuhzuhzombie!! posted:The draft? You obviously don't pay much attention to the MRA movement (probably a good idea). The fact that men have to sign up for Selective Service and women don't is always exhibit A in proving how hard men have it. I'll grant it's unfair, but a draft is so unlikely that it's entirely theoretical. Also, it wasn't feminists who fought to keep women out of the Armed Forces.

mandrake776 posted:Apparently men have some demands to make of feminism. There is a huge disparity between incarceration and punitive measures between genders, and its roots appear to be within the patriarchal ideals of the justice system itself, seeing men as either brutes or schemers, while denying that women have the agency to be actual criminals, but nobody seems to touch on that, repeating points about the draft, suicide, father's rights, or male domestic violence victims instead. It could tie the whole thing in with increasing calls for prison reform. It's because the criminal justice system also biases heavily against the poor and people of color, which is outside the MRA circle of caring, isn't it?

The MRA movement is very white, and they don't understand intersectionality. i.e., if something affects black people, then it also affects black men, so if you ignore it you're ignoring the problems of a lot of men. Recently there was an online debate between Paul Elam of A Voice for Men and Matt Binder from the Majority Report, arguing against and for feminism, respectively. Binder asked a number of times why MRA's don't seem to care about issues like stop-and-frisk, which disproportionately affect (black) men. The moderator of the debate, also an MRA, asked to be sent a link to the story, because he'd never even heard of stop-and-frisk. MRA's live in their own white male bubble, and they don't care about anyone outside it.

For other reasons besides being a man, such as class or race or malady, sure. But what is literally a closed door to anyone with a dick? Being a nun? It makes my fingernails dig into my palms whenever someone does the "yeah, but consider men..." as if women have any loving option but to consider men. It's almost impossible to talk about anything solely involving women without mentioning men because if you DON'T, men will volunteer it anyways and then you MUST talk about them. Because men brought it up. Gynocentrists indeed.

You are a gynocentric, misandrist, feminist monster if you think there's nothing wrong with a conversation that fits these three criteria. 1. It has to have at least two women in it, 2. who talk to each other, 3. about something besides a man.

I've seen several people bring up Hope Solo on my facebook feed usually along the lines of "The NFL has issues with domestic violence, but not all domestic violence is women. Hope Solo beat up her nephew and she's still playing for the women's national soccer team!" On one hand, yeah Hope Solo beat up her nephew and probably shouldn't be playing, but I just get these vibes of MRA-level concern trolling that women committing domestic violence is a bigger issue than we're making it out to be. I'm not sure how to react.

Edited out a bunch of stuff, but it's still super long.quote:In the book of Daniel chapter 7; verse 23, the prophet speaks of a fourth kingdom to come upon the earth that would be different than all other kingdoms/nations before it. Daniel also says that this fourth kingdom will devour the whole earth and break it in pieces. The United States became the most powerful nation in the world after dropping two nuclear bombs on Japan and bringing an end to WW2. The American 'Military Industrial Complex' has been busy war mongering and brutalizing nations non-stop ever since. The American lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and of course, violent and perverse Hollywood entertainment, has indeed consumed, or devoured the whole earth.

This is the same tactic of people that respond to the murders of black people by cops with bullshit like "you don't care about [white kid] who was killed" or "you don't care when [black guy] killed [black guy]." They don't care about any of that and it's just an attempt to put the accuser on the defensive.
