  Chinese Rocket Falling to Earth

  by Simon in

  as if the chinese haven't already done enough to the world recently, they have now let a 22 ton rocket go out of control and start falling to earth.

  it's going 18,000 miles an hour and no one knows where it's going to hit but if it isn't water then it might leave a scuff mark.. the good news it is shouldn't be canada, as we're too far north.. the bad news is, well ... are you in canada or the same latitude or more north?.

  chances are it will hit the pacific, but it's 2021 and the way things are going it could hit a major population area.. if it does hit anywhere with lots of people, i hope it twats the shit out of beijing..

  It will be interesting to see how the media report on the aftermath of this, especially if the rocket does hit land.

  remember when caitlyn jenner came out as a trans woman a few years ago?.

  it was stunning and brave, i'm sure you'll agree.. well, a good portion of her congratulators are now dreading the prospect of jenner becoming california governor.. you see, jenner is a republican, and has come out and said that trans women competing in women's sports is unfair (which is correct and a breath of fresh air).. so now trans people and their allies are getting ready with the smelling salts in case transwoman caitlyn jenner wins the race.

  Will You Get Back To Normal After Covid Subsides?

  by minimus in

  some say we will never get back to pre-pandemic days.

  others say we should expect to live with masks and social distancing as the “new normal “.

  still others are hopeful that we can live life realizing there might never be an end to covid or cancer or influenza but our lives must continue to go on.

  Will You Get Back To Normal After Covid Subsides? - yes.

  Society has to return to normal once all the vulnerable people have been vaccinated.

  E.g. in the UK, lockdown will officially end on June 21. If Boris Johnson is stupid enough to insist on continuing restrictions, there'll be mass civil disobedience. People will just say f**k it and not bother with masks or the 2m rule.

  Systemic Racism: What’s Your View? Is it As Pervasive As Some Suggest?

  by minimus in

  the president of the united states says we have to do something about this.

  many politicians and people agree that we are all affected by the scourge of systemic racism.

  what’s your view of this?

  Everything should be based purely on the same qualification rules for something, skin color should not count for or against anyone when it comes to entitlement or punishment.

  Anything else is systemic racism - yes.

  We, in western, multicultural and multiracial countries, are having a bit of a problem.

  Race hustlers like Al Sharpton or David Lammy note racial disparity in certain fields (e.g. company board members, people in prison, etc.) and immediately conclude that this means racial discrimination, hence, 'systemic racism'. But this is intellectually dishonest because they're ignoring all the actual factors - racism is just one of those factors. Other - often more important - factors are cultural differences and family structure, not to mention just freedom of choice.

  Individual identity is greater than group identity. It has to be, otherwise society will degenerate into tribal violence.

  Positive discrimination, like the example Simon just gave, is society going down the systemic racism route.

  We have to just start seeing people as individuals and treating them accordingly.

  Tough questions to contemplate for some people - some people will consider those kind of questions … others will ignore them and say the US is 'systemically racist', lol.

  Why did Jehovah Kill all the animals in the flood? What purpose did it serve??

  some of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.

  "in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".

  i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.

  Maybe youtube banned these right-wing channels because they became so popular?
  

  Being popular brings you under more scrutiny - but only for right-wing channels, apparently ...

  Racists are emboldened and are more open in acts of racism (e.g., spraypainting swastikas, attacking Asians on the street, throwing around hateful slurs) - interesting comment.

  There have been some examples of spraypainting swastikas and racial slurs that have turned out to have been done by black people, trying to make white supremacy a big issue.

  And re attacking Asians, which group of people are overrepresented in that?

  Woke Oscars cringe

  actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.

  What you said sound correct but it doesn't make sense in the real world. If you want to go down that road, Hollywood will likely stop making films - all I'm asking for is for actors not to cram their acceptance speeches with political stuff.

  Most people agree - they don't want political/social messages rammed down their throat when their favourite actor wins an acting award for his acting.

  You can't make a general statement as if those channels weren't given a voice for years - they were, indeed, given a voice for years. And then youtube banned them. All right-wing, no seemingly left-wing channels.

  Maybe youtube banned these right-wing channels because they became so popular?
