  The "Hate Crime" mob stirring things up again!

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  staff in a takeaway were offended by two lesbians' full-on kissing and expressed their opinion about the behaviour.

  the lesbians complained to police that a "hate crime" was committed.. homosexual or heterosexual - do it in private, it's not a spectator sport or a public statement.. minority groups can invoke police action if they are "offended," but society in general cannot do likewise.. why has "being offended" been turned into a hate crime in the uk?

  who is pushing this agenda?.

  Were they offended or disgusted? How did they express their opinion? to each other in private? to their buddies after work? Did the "lesbians" tell police that a hate crime occurred?

  Homosexual or heterosexual - do it in private, it's not a spectator sport or a public statement.

  Are all public displays of affection to be banned? Will this including hugging? Holding hands? Can I kiss my wife at the airport on the lips when I see her?

  Minority groups can invoke police action if they are "offended," but society in general cannot do likewise.

  So when a white guy walks into a McDonalds I can shout at him: "hey whitey! you suck! you and your whiteness can go to hell!" Nobody's going to be offended right? he's the majority so everybody's always ok with me doing that now, correct?

  Why has "being offended" been turned into a hate crime in the UK? Who is pushing this agenda?

  Is how the person feels based on scale 1 - 10 in English courts now, to determine sentencing by any chance? Could it be the actual act of verbal abuse that is a crime? How about a teacher in high school telling one of their black students how much black people suck in front of other kids? If the black kid feels offended, it's on the kid huh?

  Could it be that just regular normal people are pushing the stop abusing people agenda? Is there nuance to this story?

  Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?

  by blondie in

  i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.

  i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.

  it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

  Ubiquitous well made semi-autos with big clips.

  As long as that's reality for the US, constant mass shootings will be the reality for the US.

  It's really easy to kill lots of people in the US right now, very easy. Takes almost no effort. The machine does all the work.

  Perhaps actually enforcing the 2nd amendment might help ... if you're not part of a state's "well regulated militia" you can't own a gun.

  when any mass shooting happens is it the president’s fault?

  Semi-autos with high capacity magazines are weapons of mass destruction.

  Their ubiquity plays the key role.

  I feel the same way about Trump that Sam Harris does.

  Does he play a role in mass shootings? perhaps a minuscule one

  But they'll continue to happen long after he's out of office.

  I personally believe that having another black president, for instance, will make the situation worse, not better.

  so the tms....does anyone think it might ever go away?

  possibly being replaced by a borg streaming presentation that's required viewing from home?

  it seems to me that with the congregation merging and sell-off that's going on, there are going to be 4 maybe 5 congregations sharing some khs.

  The renamed TMS is here to stay.

  It gives the RandF homework to do, keeps them busy, doing talks, doing substitute talks, keeps you mentally distracted.

  The tale of two worlds

  i saw this picture today, not sure you saw it as well, but couldn't resist sharing.

  it basically shows the existing fence between usa and mexico.

  apparently someone installed some see-saws on the fence so that children on both sides can play together.

  Thanks for helping us appreciate who the dirty nasty Mexicans are. Excellent investigative work. Wonderful post. Neat Blue Dog's insightful comment about dog training ... my brain is in recovery mode now from taking in all these high level ideas.

  If this was a man....

  cardi-b, who is an american rapper, singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality, admits in an old video of drugging and stealing from men.

  if the roles were reversed, do you think this would be a front page story instead of being buried on the back page?

  why isn't the progressive left demanding justice?

  "the progressive left" "the radical left" "the left" "the right" "alt-right" "right wing" "conservative"

  "worldy people" "worldlings" "not Witnesses" "aren't Witnesses" "doesn't love Jehovah"

  People, including those who have been victimized by cults, often try to discuss ideas for ideas sake, yet their words give away their tribalism, the in-group/out-group biases that blind, that polarize, and prevent idea interchange.

  the movie idiocracy was the evolution of people to stupid.

  but we have a generation in the mellennials.

  they can in many cases barely wipe their own ass.

  Do You See "The Elephant In The Room" At This JW Regional Convention?

  someone posted this image on their facebook page of a recent jw rc showing a rather petite group of baptismal candidates.

  notice there are nearly 75 seats (5 rows) reserved for the occasion.

  by my count...it looks like between 17 to 19 were baptized...with total attendance of 6,000. the youngest among them looks like between 9 and 11 years old.

  John the Baptist should have been quoted as saying: "Sorry, I only baptize at conventions, you'll need to put your relationship with the creator of the universe on hold for the next six months."

  But he wasn't.
