  • I asked if you could provide any examples in which someone being transgender or non-binary could affect a court proceeding. Despite your apparent concern for how huge an affect this could have on the system, you have still been unable to give a single realistic example.

    I don't know what your VM has to do with the subject. I don't understand what you're trying to prove - that VM is unrelated to anything being discussed. I never said expert witnesses maintain constant contact with the defense attorney, so I am honestly wondering if you are truly reading my posts.

    Regardless, this has nothing to do with the legitimacy of non-binary gender identities. How someone's identity would affect a court proceeding does not affect the legitimacy of the subject. You have yet to make a case otherwise, and I am getting tired of repeating myself.
    I have my own idea of an ideal society. There IS an objectively good system; we just need to find it. And we can do so by tearing down what is negatively impacting us and trying to progress and not regress. In my opinion, the transition from monarchy to democracy was humanities biggest regressions.
    I dont think monarchy is the best system. Its inherently flawed, and many of the negative things about it are just negative things about government in general. I just absolutely despise democracy as a governmental system.

    Monarchism is extremely interesting. Its very misunderstood. Have you read Hans-Hermann Hoppe? He has some good stuff on monarchy, mostly as an attack on democracy because he isn't a monarchist.
    I found out that only 40 unarmed blacks were killed by police in 2015. 40 too many, but it certainly does not fit the narrative.

    People also forget that the great majority of cops are just regular people and have low standards for training, so its not surprising if they are reactionary and stuff like you said.
    So in other words, as per usual, your statements were absolute baloney? Unsurprising.
    True. Although I dont really have a counter-argument to the lack of correlation with police shootings and violent crime statistics. Other than drug war? Ill have to look more and rethink some stuff.
    You've been called an uncle tom? Thats rough man.

    i just skimmed through your VM's it looks like the real debate is here lol.

    Anyways, whats up? You seem cool.
    Yes, that's what usually happens outside of your Mickey Mouse country where cops are even remotely competent at their jobs.
    EXFU*KINGXACTLY JR. THERE WAS NO ATTEMPT TO DETAIN HIM. He was unarmed, that's an absolute fact you silly tool.
    I don't know what's vague about "Use the quote option"

    You can't seriously be comparing a rape victim to a cop? Are you actually this dense? One of them is a profession where you're supposed to be trained to handle fraught situations and the other is an untrained victim of just about the worst crime you could commit
    No CoffeeDrink funnily enough I was not referring to the one minor part of your dumbfounding rant that was actually from BLM.

    No one is saying Brown was an angel, or that all cops are evil. No one said that. But to call it self defense? Self defense is one thing, shooting somebody 6 times whilst discharging a further six shots into a busy street where they could of easily hit bystanders is a complete act of gross misconduct by an officer of the law. Witnesses gave varied stories, no cctv was provided. Firing 12 shots isnt the action of a measured man, rather it seems like a aggressive and reckless response to a situation the cop was clearly incapable of handling. You detain an unarmed suspect, you don't shoot them. It isn't rocket science.

    It's good to see you've found the BLM website, maybe you can now direct me to the statement that says the police en masse should be abolished, or the statement where they advocated violence, or where they call for the genocide via mass killings of whites as per your initial claims?
    I'm going to reply here because we've already been asked to drop the BLM thing in the thread.

    Where did you copy paste that drivel from?


    Well yes, of course BLM is in response to racism, what a bizarre thing for a trash far right blog to say.
    On BLM, and me slowly losing my marbles which used to be kept in a nice calfskin drawstring pouch.
    Spoiler:
    i am totally confounded as to how my post translated to your reply. fracking, blm, what??
    Don't like walls? Check out the Cliff Notes at the bottom!

    No, I don't believe that's the case. People aren't mad at him for disliking the country (land), they're made at him for spitting (figuratively) on what the flag stands for and those who have died defending it and upholding the freedoms we so enjoy. Again, he's misinformed. He doesn't speak the truth and just look at it:

    "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder", referencing a series of events that led to the "Black Lives Matter" movement and adding that he would continue to protest until he feels like "[the American flag] represents what it's supposed to represent."

    Now, I've already done my shouting for the heinous Black Lives Matter chumps. Millions of Americans see them for what they are, and now we have a thread of these same people demanding segregation. It boggles the mind. He doesn't state a single shred of fact in his media vomit comment. Not a single piece of it is factual at all.

    Have you ever worked with law enforcement officers before? Have you ever sat through the millions of hours of classes and courses mandated they take to avoid these confrontations? No. Nobody on the outside looking in will ever know and they're too stupid to pick up a goddamn phone and go on a ride along.

    Cops lose their jobs every day over things your boss shrugs at. It's true, I've seen it. A single misplaced comment and buh-bye. It has gotten so bad that some cops are afraid to defend themselves. Some black officers even need to 'sneak' around to avoid being called a house Nigeria.

    'Unarmed black male' don't give me that garbage. Look at the data. In 2013 the homicide count for personal weapons (i.e. hands and feet) totaled 687. If you're a cop (I have no clue how tall you are, but I'm 6'4" and even then trying to handle a 250lbs drunk is a mighty chore) and you have someone that is tougher than you, taller than you, outweighs you, or knows some form of martial arts the odds are not stacked in your favor.

    You have no clue who that person is, what he has done, what he wants or needs. Some cops get shot in the face for simple traffic violations because a felon fears getting caught. Most shootings unfold in about 10 seconds or less. These are critical situations that mean the difference between you being fucking dead and you going home.

    I have no idea why some people absolutely refuse to believe that bullet proof vests don't stop knives. Or that cops should shoot to maim and not to kill. Or why cops dont shoot the guns out of their hands or fire warning shots (see: gravity and lethal projectiles). There are always accidents. There are always uncertainties, but what do you want? What magic gizmo is available that can replace the police force? Who had the magic beans? Who are these phantom oppressors?

    Guess what, there is always a choice. And as far as I can see, the majority of countries show some form of Nationalism in one form or another and by golly I've seen my fair share of Brit, Scots and Irish duke it out over who's futball team is better simply because their country hates Britain more.

    Come on. People aren't blinded by this bs anymore. People saw it for what it was and it was only until another NFL player told him he should maybe think of the veterans and those that came back in a box that Colin thought "Gee, maybe I forgot that millions of Americans fought and died for this flag thing so maybe I should kneel or something".

    Colin had the audacity to say the COUNTRY i.e. THE PEOPLE oppress blacks (trees can't opress people, no matter how hard they try). Jesus Christ, it's not just whites that are pissed. My friend dropped his 49ers gear off at the good will (or some other thrift store), and he's hispanic! If all the blacks in the NFL are opressed somebody forgot to take their millions away from them. It isn't that hard to see why people are pissed.


    Cliff Notes:
    1. Didn't acknowledge military until told. If you had kids, imagine your kid is supposed to do the dishes but never does until told. It'd piss you off too.

    2. Spreading misinformation about police officers and promoting propaganda without evidence or research i.e. a tool.

    3. He's a shit guard from what I hear "Not Russell Wilson bruh!" I guess that's a thing now.
    On protesting: Hm. I find following the right channels helps. I've done so before and it forces changes better than standing around yelling, I feel. Putting forth the truth helps immensly, so speaking the truth is your best bet. If you have a secret people don't know and you bring it to light it aids you in your quest. Spouting hate and garbage facts behind a bogus ideal get you nowhere. So, speak the truth is a good bit of advice.

    Legality is the ruler of change in the country I find. Individuals are smart, crowds of people are dumb. Groups of protesters are bad ideas and often tend to lead towards that 'mob mentality' you hear about (its not a made up thing, it's a real phenomenon). Protests should be self regulated and organized. Once you have a set schedule and a list of who is with you and a store front the end result is far greater than what I have seen recently. So if you are going to protest, create a schedule, a list of organizers, a goal, and a 'club'.

    On to Colin Kaepernick: I feel he deserves to be raked over the coals "Oh, well I'm surprised at all the harsh backlash" well don't be. He plays for the NFL (a nonprofit organization by all accounts, so payed for by you and I), a sport which is the most popular sport in the US. Of those sports I'm sure it can be considered 'most American' (I don't know what it means but I've heard it said before). So the people as a whole are right to be upset. We drape soldiers with that flag. The flag is a symbol, not just for the country itself but for the people as well. People fight for the flag and people die for it. He can certainly sit down, yes, but to open one's mouth and spew a bunch of garbage and misinformation is not permissible in my opinion. That coupled with the fact that your main target audience is Americans I don't think a comment like that would net you any popularity contests. At best you'do possibly get 50% to agree with you, and at worst they'll sink you.

    He claims the US oppresses black people. Simply not true. His actions can fuel fires for the more violent 'protesters' (see: looters and thugs), validating their volatile arguments. He is not informed, and he certainly can't expect the crowd to not maim him. When you have a figure head that people look up to it behooves one to be mindful of what you say and of which policies you adhere to and follow. I find no comment can sometimes be the best comment. As is the case here, he should have just said nothing. People have a reason to hate him now if they didn't already, and a tear down of popularity versus infamy can mean the difference between employment and termination of deals. I don't think this is the last we'll hear of this blunder.

    Further more, if you really don't like America and the millions of dollars that you make playing a game funded by the very people you've condemned, feel free to leave no one's going to be in a rush to stop you.
