I don't know. I just can't say that level of violence over a slur is morally right. I just can't do it. I'm not gonna say I sympathize with her because if you drop words like that, you got something coming to you. But there's a difference between getting hit and getting smacked on the pavement hard enough to break that many bones. I doubt he meant to do anywhere near that kind of damage, but if you're strong enough to pick someone up that easily and slam them down, you gotta be more careful. A woman that age isn't just gonna bounce and walk away. CubanMissile fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Nov 10, 2019 |

CubanMissile posted:If you believe breaking a bunch of bones is an appropriate response to a lovely boomer saying awful things, then that's your business. I'm not going to agree with it. You're posting like her hair got messed up. She's looking at months of rehabilitation. Money ain't going to speed that up or make that any less painful or make her go, "gee let's go through this again". The only thing that sucks about this is the US justice system is going to come down hard on this guy.

Yeah old lady got hosed up, her mobility for the rest of her life is going to be worse; she's looking at months or years of pain. And I'm not sure what you guys are arguing about. He was out of line, regardless of her race/gender/age but that lady was begging to get hurt. There are no winners

I'm arguing that she's gonna make a ton of money out of this and getting hurt is not gonna make her one bit less racist or make her believe she even did anything wrong. She's already claiming she didn't use the N word, which I'm sure she most certainly did. Great, she's not gonna call people racist poo poo in public anymore. That lesson isn't worth this guy screwing up his life over.

Paradoxish posted:My girlfriend works as an ESL teacher in a city-run/state-funded adult education program. The administrative staff is mostly made up of people well beyond typical retirement age, almost all of whom have exceptionally good salaries with unbelievable pensions attached. Lots of them are finally starting to check out since they're 5-10 years beyond the age that they could have theoretically retired at. A bunch of the younger teachers were chomping at the bit for these administrative roles. This is something I have been thinking about too. I am a chef. I have worked in restaurants for about twenty years. What I have noticed is that they are cutting cooks and dishwashers and just having their best people do the work of two people for the same price. This is very common at chain restaurants. A good example is at Ruby Tuesdays. There used to be a salad bar position in which you stock and keep the salad bar cleaned as well as prep the items for the salad bar. There was also a dish washer position. Now they have combined the two positions so that the dishwasher is also doing the salad bar. Now that person is constantly running and always behind. If you have ever worked in a restaurant that doesn't feel to good. The position still pays ~8 p/h. I could imagine them doing this in all professions.

Yeah, most companies now are just a game with middle managers playing Jenga with employees for bonuses. Normally the person who removed the last piece that made the tower fall would be the loser, except in this game everyone just blames the pieces.

People have motivations other than winning at debate club and changing hearts and minds or whatever the gently caress you're complaining about. Sometimes people do things because they're pissed off, and not because they're hoping for a happy after school special ending where everyone learns and grows.

I'm 100% not kidding that many people legitimately have traumatic events re-triggered by hearing slurs and if someone got slammed into the concrete I think it's more likely the dude was reliving some past poo poo and not seeing the woman in front of him. Which, is unfortunate for her, sure, but idk 'don't throw slurs around' is and 'dont keep throwing slurs around after a bunch of people tell you repeatedly in a variety of ways to quit' and 'dont still keep going even as they escort your racist old rear end out' are all pretty elemental thingsCubanMissile posted:Well then clearly you didn't read the nuances of HBN's post.

oxsnard posted:I'm convinced these people can become Sanders supporters under the right scenario I dunno man. Most of these people are too far gone. Basically they have been indoctrinated into being a right wing moron from a young age. Those kids might have a chance because they don't have the dad telling them democrats are evil and kill babies anymore. Its the same thing with evangelism. They force you into it young so that you believe all of it with your whole being. They konw you want question it because at that point your whole identity is wrapped up in it. We need to get the people that are too disaffected to vote to go out and vote. We do this by making sure people like Clinton, Biden, and Buttigieg don't get the nomination because their corporate policies are why the people don't vote anymore. They haven't been given an option worth voting for in decades. Like me, they have watched their situations get harder and harder while corporations make more and more profits. I don't know how we get these people to vote considering if you are on the right you have 24/h propaganda going through your ears and if you are center or left you have MSNBC and CNN hitting you with neo liberal propaganda. The rich elites basically pick the choices you have so they win no matter who wins. What do you think we can do to counteract the MSM? What do we do that most local news is owned by Sinclair media? That is what we need to do to reach people that are so fed up with neo liberalism and third way bullshit.

My favorite: quote:But, Ulrich is not mad at Trump. He loves Trump's hands-off approach to environmental regulations. Fertilizer run-off from farmers is the single biggest threat to the nation's waterways. Oh and btw, the Trump EPA hasn't rolled back a single Clean Water Act rule. Meanwhile, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa state regulators (who have delegated authority from EPA) have increased their enforcement efforts over the past 3 years
