He's complaining that the restaraunt he went to is too nice. What a putz.

Not even too nice, as collard greens and rib tips isn't exactly fine food. He's complaining that a restaurant had a description on the menu. So I guess yes, too nice because it had a menu he had to read and not pictures or number on a big board.

I've been seeing a ton of this "abortion is infanticide" rhetoric a lot more prominently recently. Where did this come from? Like, specifically the word infanticide.

It's all about getting the thought into the people who aren't that informed about said laws that they are bad.... because if you actually read said laws they are more than slightly resonable and exactly what church groups were campaigning for before 1979. There simply ISNT a good faith argument that you can use against medical emergency late term termination so thence you need that kind of propaganda to get the raaaaage going.

It’s okay to just call boomers evil instead of trying to pin everything on mental illness.

Like, in many cases they aren’t stupid and are just self-centered fucks who will throw out stupid arguments because they know there’s an entire industry that will hold it up as legitimate.

I think it is reasonable to wonder if there is a link between the rise of the FYGM political movement and an entire generation being exposed to lead gas fuses and lead paint for the entire duration of their early childhoods.

World Health Organization posted:

Lead exposure can have serious consequences for the health of children. At high levels of exposure, lead attacks the brain and central nervous system to cause coma, convulsions and even death. Children who survive severe lead poisoning may be left with mental retardation and behavioural disorders. At lower levels of exposure that cause no obvious symptoms, and that previously were considered safe, lead is now known to produce a spectrum of injury across multiple body systems. In particular lead can affect children’s brain development resulting in reduced intelligence quotient (IQ), behavioural changes such as reduced attention span and increased antisocial behaviour, and reduced educational attainment. Lead exposure also causes anaemia, hypertension, renal impairment, immunotoxicity and toxicity to the reproductive organs. The neurological and behavioural effects of lead are believed to be irreversible.

To be fair I think his criticism is "this retaurant is too fancy, I want some simple comfort food why are you loving with quinoa and all the other fancy poo poo just give me cornbread and mac 'n cheese." Which I guess is better than "ew poor people food" but seriously lol just go find a no-frills diner or bar if you want it's not that hard old man.

Tinsley is one of those people who actively searches for something to be offended by, and then gets angry when he finds it.
Or, gets angry when he can't find it and then lies and says he did so he can be mad at the strawman he built.

quote:

During the September 19 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, discussing his recent trip to have dinner with Rev. Al Sharpton at Sylvia's, a famous restaurant in Harlem, Bill O'Reilly reported that he "had a great time, and all the people up there are tremendously respectful," adding: "I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship." Later, during a discussion with National Public Radio senior correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams about the effect of rap on culture, O'Reilly asserted: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.' You know, I mean, everybody was -- it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all."
