Don't you think I know this?!

I'm of the opposite opinion. I think becoming very fat could enhance your comedic abilities.

I'd just hate for him to end up like Louie Anderson, that would be sad.

Yeah that's true, when I was younger people across the board were more batshit about the flag than today. I haven't looked at flag-burning polls recently, but if that's progress then that's good. But as an absolute number, Jesus Christ. What country do these idiots think they live in?

The land of the bereaved and the home of the frayed.

Following up deflective shit posts with a novel shamelessly and clumsily appropriating Native American struggle and casting aspersions on a man based on his son's actions:

Ahh, you were just joshing with me. I should have guess that, given your history of levity, light-heartedness, and not being a spastic and randomly adversarial putz. Alas, Burge's passing was national news and his passing does reflect a hopeful changing of the guard in American history. But you're right: my referencing that the story of his death is a week old did very clearly provoke ad hominem shit posts.



My, what a revelatory suggestion. The history of civil rights activists being socialists didn't ring any bells for the rest of us.

Yes, economic inequality along the lines of race - not individual racial animus - is the driving force behind the intersection of black life and police misconduct. I apologize that my fellow activists had the same foresight as their fathers before them - and that you do not have it.



The problem of police misconduct does affect more than one race, but it affects one race to a greatly disproportionate degree due to the history of that race in this country and the situation of that race in densely population, high-crime urban pockets. Native Americans don't have this sort of interface with policing because, and I'm not sure if you know this, they generally do not reside in said urban areas. In fact, Native Americans have the lowest metropolitan residential percentage of all racial categories. Meanwhile, African Americans are the most urban-dwelling racial group.

I am saddened, truly, that the almost-entirely-black communities and community groups that got together to form BLM didn't make the obvious prediction that daft white folks would use the name to deny its purpose.

By the way, what was your opinion on the Dakota Access Pipeline? I know that BlackLivesMatter protested alongside our Native American brothers and sisters.

Surprisingly, though, I didn't see any "All Lives Matter" tee shirts in any of the photos of people being hosed and beaten. Strange.



Again: Duh. If the history of civil rights organization didn't tip you, I would think at least that the fact that the key founders of BLM have been lifelong advocates of labor rights, immigrant issues, and economic justice would have pushed it through.

You don't correct the problems focused on by BLM by lecturing police officers about how it's bad to kill black people, nor by naive attempts at correcting the psychology of racial bias (which, by most analyses that I have seen, has very little effect on the phenomenon), just like you don't fix the problem of gun violence in the black community by banning handguns or massively redistributing the black community into government custody. You did it by allocating opportunity and, yes, addressing economic inequality.



Cool, I'm happy for @Cubo de Sangre. I do agree that he has some principle to him. But his devotion to the issue of government abuse of power doesn't in any way contrast that of the far left.

In fact, while pants-shitting reactionaries like you were too busy rocking back and forth after 9/11 to give a shit about the PATRIOT Act, communists all across the country were opposing it as a second coming of legislation like the Communist Control Act (which I have literally zero doubt that you would have supported with a throbbing 4-inch erection).



Maybe Jr. is just another case of a black man gone hopelessly wrong because he grew up in a fatherless household, amirite?



Firstly, I don't believe that you feel any sort of rage on this matter.

Secondly, what are your "ideas on how to do it"?

Regarding the PATRIOT Act, it's the reason I won't visit the US. You're the law-talking guy so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it allows you to be disappeared if you aren't a US citizen. I don't have any reason to expect to be disappeared, but I tend to avoid countries than can legally do it. I mean if you can, why not?

It's unfortunate, too. I can think of 1 million things I would like to do there, but fuck that.

Incidentally, I think the vast majority of people who call themselves BLM supporters have nothing in common with the people Mick rails about, but I doubt you're going to convince him or others who think like him.

Haha, I don't know about "disappearing" you, but they can detain you indefinitely and without a trial or hearing. And the Supreme Court (predictably, along partisan lines - yay conservatism!) upheld that this year.

So, they won't kill you. But they could lock you in a room for the rest of your life.

Gis with speedos!!!!

The goat combo or the worst of all worlds, I’m leaning towards the former.

And those techniques are uber cool looking.

I have gone from mma striker to typical gi bjj dork, like wtf is a takedown anyway? ? ? ?

Bro, just pull inverted guard. No can defense.

No can defense.

Horus bless you for getting this right. Everytime I see "no can defend" I want to take a chainsaw to a giraffe neck.

How is that any different? Anyway, yes, I really meant held without due process or contact with the outside world for an indefinite amount of time. Regardless, fuck that.

Here's hoping @HereticBD will move there just to prove I'm being paranoid.

That’s not exactly what the law is. As I understand it the only situation you could be detained indefinitely would be if you were to be deported for threats to national security and your home country refused to accept you back. Then every six months there must be reviews as to whether you still pose such a threat that detaining you is necessary.

Anyways, I’m not defending that or any aspect of that shitty PATRIOT Act, which I find to be almost wholly unconstitutional.

But it’s a little more specific than they can just grab you and “disappear you.” It’s shitty as hell, but as long as you’re not committing terrorism, materially supporting a terrorist group, or insulting Emperor Trump, I wouldn’t think you have much to worry about.

But seriously, if you’re Canadian there’s no way your government wouldn’t take you back. Hell, they’ll take you back even if you actually commit terrorism.

Hopefully you don't have a Muslim name, in which case there's relatively little chance that'll you join the ranks of individuals who were mistakenly abducted and sent to Egypt as part of the extraordinary rendition program.
Where they'll use "enhanced interrogation" techniques such as suspending you from the ceiling and shocking your genitals with illegally modified electro-shock batons to extract information from you that you don't have.
Occasionally a fatal process.

If your point is that complaints about paying Omar Kadr a settlement are misplaced, I agree. If your point is that shitty things can only happen to you if you sound "A-rab" then not so much.

Seriously, I could do this shit all day. O soto gari? Lol nope.

 

[Higus]

Never judge a conservative until you have walked a mile in their derp.

I feel like I might be alone on this one, but I think the increased willingness to punch a Nazi should be considered an indicator of progress, not a sign for the end of days.
