I asked first I'm only asking people who are saying racism isn't real to do so with their faces Lots of faces are available in protest footage, including mine. But the people who bravely type behind keyboards about how protests are wrong... they're too lazy to show us their faces too? Who else told us Black people need to shut the ***** up and accept their treatment by the law while hiding their faces? My theory? Racists are all cowards. I've yet to see any evidence of a racist who is brave. And I've spent the last week on PPP talking to a lot of racists. To a man (including very much @Rob's House who has been repeatedly offered money to stand by his views with his face) they are all huge puss'y b'tches. Hope that answers your question. Racists are cowards.

You scared of a little responsibility, Rob? Tell me again how you aren't racist, random internet man Put yourself on camera saying so. We can see his face. Let's see yours, coward Didn't you want a discussion? You seem threatened. Is it because you're a little baby brain encountering long division for the first time? I'm willing to help. The first step is open your mouth, son. Let the body of Christ enter you.

(jeff foxworthy voice) If so... you might be a Racist. Are yoooooou tired of seeing people bring up how White people are born with all kinds of advantages as an American even though your individual life is lonely garbage? If so... you must be a Racist. Get right with God, sinners of PPP.

How has firearms for everyone been working out so far? What would we ever do without the help of useless cops? I guess probably exactly where we are now Wake up and smell the coffee, folks... COPS DON'T DO ANYTHING

He wasn't even my favorite guy. I'm just saying... "Should such and such Bill be in the HOF?" Yeah sure, why not? Is he HOF worthy? He's got the hardware and accolades. There aren't many other guards with more decoration. Since guards rarely get any praise at all, why not give some to Ruben? Just seems like... yeah, sure! Ruben was solid. Go Bills! That's my opinion. Just don't really see a value in arguing against a player who was good for us being potentially recognized, that's all.

It's not that complicated. Do you know the Green Bay Packers ownership situation? It's like that. Instead of one/a few people profiting from the auto factory, the profits are shared more equitably. It's simple. Just means that resources are shared in a way that is best for the overall community. Should the government be providing money to citizens given widespread unemployment, etc, due to COVID shutdowns? It certainly HAS the money. Is it fair that Jeff Bezos, etc, have billions and billions to themselves, while Amazon workers are uncertain if they can feed their families? Capitalism is just exploitation. Slavery was simply the best capitalist form ever existed; it's why it keeps being perpetuated in different forms. Capitalism just wants to spend the lowest amount for the highest profit. That's good for the individual; in an equal system maybe it'd even be fair. Since it's a rigged system, it's not good for anybody on this board.

"Bum" is an exaggeration, not a direct quote. Jokes, for comic effect, will exaggerate reality to make a point for the sake of humor. In this case, this was a sarcastic exaggeration of how Ruben's been assessed in this thread. I don't know many other Guards of Ruben's era that would be better for the HOF. So, if he was the best at his position for his era, judged by the awards and accolades... I mean I remember watching him play at the time. I remember not really getting why Ruben was always singled out as the best Bills player. If a Bill got into the HOF by being a little over-rated, I guess it's just me, I would just take the W.

Where does language come from? God? Really love the folks dying on this hill. "Language never changes, snowflake!" lol Kind of a really direct example of how racists really need to insist on their own fictional reality with highly developed selective listening skills. Let's see how it manifests this time... "Defund" is the right word. It means starting the conversation from 0 and building up. Not starting from current police budgets and working down. It's strong language for a reason. It's a negotiating tactic. It communicates the severity and vastness of change needed. It's the right word. It's arguably not strong enough. "Imprison the police" once we remove legal qualified immunity... that's gonna be a fun conversation.

Police should be trained in de-escalation above all else. That's the position I am holding. Reducing the weaponry from police — again, armed police is not the case in EU, AU, CA — admittedly their population is less armed — but you don't de-escalate a situation by coming in and pointing guns. That means you either control the situation immediately — and I'm saying if that's the case, police could've done so without the weapons and just in numbers and non-lethal physical coercion — or as in this case the situation spirals out of control immediately. There are so many countless innocent deaths caused by accidental police shootings. Since expecting cops to never make a mistake is unrealistic, then instead, maybe they don't all need guns. Maybe those tools can only be in the hands of highly trained and highly disciplined specialists, and not as a standard issue. Good on ya! Cheers, friend.

Well I'm only talking about it as an economic model. I'm not defending any failed communist states. I'm saying the economic model hasn't been given any earnest shot in good faith. I don't count the USSR as being a good faith application of the model. Your point re: Kaep is what, exactly? He should be executed? Or he should have freedom of expression? I agree he should have freedom of expression in America. It's odd how many Americans think he shouldn't have that because it's "company time" It's odd how many Americans side with the "company" -- who could give a ***** about any one of us -- instead of one of their own countrymen speaking out against injustice. Odd. Maybe you wouldn't. But if you got fired for speaking out about injustice at your job and I knew about it? I would also be on your side and not the company's.

I don't really get the amount of self-loathing from Bills fans "Everybody says one of our players was really great. Do we agree? NO!!!! He's a bum!!"

Love the idea that language doesn't change with race. Why aren't we seeing anyone saying the N word? That was an acceptable standard objective definition for a long time. But "racist" doesn't mean "racist" because it hurts your feelings. Mentioned it before but its always fun how "Politically correct" — which just means basic respect for another person's identity — is only an issue (and only called "PC") when it's an identity you can't imagine respecting. It's not "PC" to you to insist on respect for the Confederate flag. That's "history" and "heritage." This isn't you being "hypocritical." You were just right before, and right in the future, and right in any conceivable conversation imaginable. Even when you're wrong, you're right.

You truly have no idea what you're talking about but go off

More bang for your buck, though.

You keep posting this Farley clip from the 90s like it means anything Farley would hate you. He would not be confused about this in 2020. You are in 2020 and barely at a 90s understanding of the world around you

There's some grenade launchers back on the market

Lmao. The idea that you can limp back to "ur the one re-electing Trump." Reality check, Reality Check — you were always voting Trump. "No I'm writing in Ben Shapiro." Who gives a *****. The Trump voters are who they are. It's abuser logic. "Look what you made me do." If I were concerned about of you guys being in relationships with women, I'd be concerned about all of your red flags to domestic violence. Thankfully I am guessing the women in your lives identified those too. You're so scared. The idea that your worldview isn't the objectively correct one just blows your little mind, huh?

Is this your safe space?

I'm not Jim. But no. Have you ever purchased anything online? The receipts contain no such information; they're X'd out. It's just name, amount, email address. Thats all an Act Blue receipt would show you. Not that you would know, obviously. And what am I gonna do with your email address? Talk to you more?? Lol

What ***** a year ago, what big secret? Where does the word "crusade" come from, genius? What's bad about being a commie exactly? Philosophically. Just wondering if you know why you don't like it, or if you just like the way it tastes as pejorative. That every communist state has failed means little. What communist state existed without US obstruction and interference? It's not possible to name one; it doesn't exist. And how exactly are the capitalist states doing these days, remind me? Do you ever think about the things you think, and why you think them?

Well, the technology exists. You could cover officers head to toe pretty well and give 'em the riot shields. Seems like a better use of the money to be spent in defensive gear rather than offensive weaponry. You're welcome to pitch better ideas. "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" I'm guessing?

Oh yeah for sure, no doubt about that. I just meant as in it's more of a tradition in baseball moreso than like football or basketball or hockey, I would think, to play inebriated? Because the game requires a lot less overall physical movement What grade did you get? Also what was the presentation on / what class? lol

This is why I feel like we're close. The cops are the ones in possession of the view of the larger picture; he is the confused person, he is firing out of fear and desperation. They have the protective gear — shields, helmets, armor — and he has a civilian firearm, right? (I know they're serving a warrant. I'm saying theoretically as a solution, cops could be in more armor/have protection, without needing to have offensive firepower.) We should be able to expect more from cops to prevent violence rather than excusing them for the violence they perpetuate. The idea that it could've been worse, or it's understandable from a certain point of view — imo that is all kinda unacceptable now. It's jut not good enough. My honest feeling, and obviously I'm not alone on this, is that I question all of it. I question the use of deadly force in the biggest most general sense for police, and ask why? Why does it have to be that way? It's worked elsewhere with unarmed police just fine. Just what I've seen personally locally in LA County, I've yet to ever read a story about a police shooting that seemed absolutely necessary. I am struggling to conjure any example of a situation where the police didn't appear to instigate the situation toward violent ends. Idk.

Donate to a charity and prove it, is the request. What is so difficult to understand about this. How long does it take to tie your shoes?

I know probably the least about baseball than any sport but there's a history of that right? Like wasn't Babe Ruth drunk during games? Idk if that's true or something I just feel like I maybe heard
