  i agree with people who say all lives matter.

  i think blm is a racist group.

  Do you really think that a cop would shoot a white man after being informed by that same white man that he is a licensed gun owner?

  Did you see what happened inside that car? You actually think that he simply said he was a gun owner and the cop pulled out a gun and shoot him....smh.

  No that's not as serious as being killed by police, but I guarantee you that if he had been a white female, or even a white male, he would have had no problems with communicating with that judge

  What a ridiculous example of racism. Let's see... a pretty young girl getting preferential treatment. Gees what a shocker. I've been home and wondering what is crossing people's minds to feel that they to join this race bait protest. I understand now who is protesting.

  Here is the problem with the above statement. You need to look at the situation from their point of view and not just about "unsupported by evidence" Here is a quote from Wikipedia
  If your wife tells you that she is afraid to go out alone and gives you the talk about women being attacked and victimized. I hope you will not throw stats back at her by saying

  Wrong. if my wife says that she is afraid to go out alone and the stats show that this has not happened, then I will sit her down and explain that despite what she thinks, the evidence shows that this is a safe area.

  I will almost certainly not encourage her to go outside and protest for something that is likely in her head.

  his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.

  thanks as always to the courageous candace owens.. ....

  I'm sure the police have their cruiser and body cam footage which for obvious reasons hasn't been released (doesn't fit the narrative the mayor of Minneapolis and their Antifa-supporter AG wants to create)

  It really is baffling how the body cam footage has not been released. There is no downside to releasing it if the goal is to show what really happened. If the body cam footage showed that the cops threw him down for no reason, then not much changes since the protesters already assume that.
  If it shows he resisted then at least it gives a bit of credibility as to the reason why he was on the ground.

  she lost me when she started to throw around statistics comparing Black/White deaths..If your child was shot by someone, the last thing you want to hear is, "Madam, do you know that what happened to your child has 1 in a million chance of happening in your street". In the eyes of a grieving mother, the stats are irrelevant.

  Sure, but this comparison is essential to understand if the narrative is valid. If the narrative is that the police is actively only targeting blacks, then how would you validate that if not by numbers? Numbers don't lie even if each personal loss is a tragedy.

  Once you get an audience, you feel the pressure of having a steady stream of content, and the reality is that there is only so much you can saw about the Watchtower.

  After the Covid-19 crisis: what will happen?

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  what will happen after the covid-19 crisis?.

  - economy with all the stand still corporations, people without work and mass injections of support money?.

  - politics with the end of globalisation, closed borders and new geopolitic friends (italy / china russia), lack of support and working together in eu and local politics, did the current politician the right thing?.

  I am actually looking forward to all the Jdubs having to tuck their tail between their legs and have no other choice than to abandon the parallel hysteria of the end of world coming.

  I have been seeing on Facebook the frenzy of jdubs posting nonsense about the big A being here...final of the final days...yadda yadda... this is it. What horseshit.

  One actually posted something about the UN calling for a truce on all conflicts until the end of this crisis, as being evidence that this is the proclamation of peace right before the end.

  The reality is that once this is done they will go back to crossing their arms and just wait for the next world crisis to get their panties in a bunch again.

  JWs are in a mix of panic and excitement. Doomsday cults feed on cyclical crisis. I'm sure all JWs are tuning in to the cult news outlet thinking they will have some special information from Jellohoba.

  But the reality is that the cult leaders know jack-shit about any of this, and grasping at straws. Once this crisis is over, it's back to crossing your arms and wait for the next crisis.

  What Makes. Person A Pedophile?

  by minimus in

  it seems the news always has another report of a pedo stalking children or hurting them.

  i know this has gone on forever but i read another report of an illegal alien with a history of abuse taking advantage of another poor child.. i just don’t understand why some people do this.

  is there an actual brain abnormality?

  It would improve the safety of children if somebody who has sexual attraction of minors could go to their doctor and admit to that and volunteer for chemical castration and ongoing counseling and monitoring.
  Some people's brains are wired that way. It doesn't excuse them acting on that impulse but they need help to control it.

  Yeah, agreed and this is unfortunate, because genetics gives a really tough hand of cards to some folks. We really need to stop pretending that we are all the same, and that beyond that it's all about choosing to do the right vs wrong things.

  Just be thankful that you were not born with an addictive personality.

  Joe Biden or Donald Trump?

  I thought Biden would be left in the dust, but such is life. I don't think he is a good candidate. He looks confused some times and he is not sharp anymore -- definitely showing his age.

  But I still rather have him than crazy Warren, or any other extreme left candidates. I think Biden will win the nomination, and I think he will the election also due to his helpful association with Obama, which continue to be popular. Looking at the numbers, it's pretty clear that there are a lot more votes overall, so many of the folks who stayed home on election day will turn out this time, and they are turning out for Biden.

  I will vote for Biden i guess, given the other option is an egomaniac unhinged troll, who captured the White House on the backs of idiot Americans.

  Trump will get the votes of the people who are expected to vote for him regardless of how he acts or does, but there will be more votes on the other side this time I think.

  so greta thunberg thinks the world pollutes too much.

  specifically, the parts of the world that pollute the least and have the cleanest industries.

  she doesn't seem to care about india or china who are the biggest polluters by far.. "how dare they".

  I don't think her age is an issue. If she was some prodigy that has studied the science and was knowledgable about it I'd be more than happy to listen to her.

  And yet, you and others don't listen to the entire science community that DID study science and IS knowledgeable.

  I guess the key is to get the conservative propaganda apparatus to finally agree with science so that ideology-driven skeptics can also get on board.
