So the homeless white people being bums on Venice Beach that always come up to me asking for shit when I'm just trying to rent a skateboard to get up and down the boardwalk are privileged?

I'd agree with the sentiment that "there are more privileged white people than other races" but I've seriously heard "you can have a shit life and still be privileged".

Like, human beings are way more than just the color of their skin. We get a sense of initial comfort when we see things we know and see things we can use as a connection with each other. If I'm walking down the street and I see a black person wearing a final fantasy t shirt or an anime shirt, I may stop and have a conversation with him. At least I'm more likely to do that with him than the white guy wearing some generic shirt I don't care about.

I don't pretend to know what black people have to go through, because I'm not black. But I have this hypothesis that the things that many of the far left say they fight for, their actions simultaneously go against their notions.

But again that's only the far left and mostly people on the internet. You meet people IRL that are left leaning but they're usually more open to have a debate and be reasonable about things.

One thing I hate about the internet, I feel like it's become the source to take out aggression and amplify the feelings they can't dish out IRL. Applying to both sides. Like I go to comments on articles and videos and I've seen some of the most racist shit I've ever seen, and I know for a fact these people don't have the balls to say this stuff IRL lol.

I see the argument brought up that life sentences are cheaper than death sentences, but isn't that because of appeals? Like pleading guilty to get life instead of the death penalty by pleading not guilty + many appeals?

If that's the case, could it be that if the death penalty was banned, you'd actually see an increase of not guilty pleas, thus making life sentences more expensive, if not more expensive than the life/death combo we currently have?

Also, would pleading guilty to the worst of crimes prevent you from life sentences if the death penalty was eliminated?

I've been looking at videos, and I swear I remember the music switching from Bob Dylan to some other band (Good Charlotte, maybe?), but apparently I'm crazy.

MCR covered Desolation Row for the soundtrack. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

Could you choke a bitch out with guitar strings? I mean like Agent 47 a guy.

I always cringe at the lyric "He hung himself with a guitar string" in Loser by Beck. Just cause I envision someone trying it, and their throat being split open then the string snapping then just bleeding out on the floor.

Am I the only person who hates how new strings sound? It always takes a couple days before I'm happy with them.

I always pulled on them then retuned them when I first put them on. Until the drop in tune after doing this was minimal or nonexistent.

You get drunk, and think "well one won't hurt, I won't get addicted just from one. Always wondered what it was like". Then you don't smoke again until next time you're offered one when you're drunk, with the rationale of "well I did it last time and it wasn't bad, and it was so long ago. Only those pack a day smokers get it bad".

Then you become that guy that's cool because you smoke, but only when you drink. And you can still not smoke when you're sober.

But then you have a bad day, so you bum a cig from your friend while you're sober. Your first sober cig. And you realize you don't really like it. So then you think "yeah, fuck smoking, shits nasty".

But then you go to college and you become friends with a girl and you find out she smokes. You don't want to look like a square in front of her so you accept her offer of a cigarette because you're trying to play it cool in the hopes you'll impress her enough to do the horizontal boogie with her in the near future. You even go so far to buy your own first pack.

She ends up not banging you, and kind of distances herself from you when she turns you down for a date. So you're depressed, and well you bought a whole pack so it'd be a shamed to waste them right?

And then you just have a nightly cigarette. Then it comes up to two cigs a day. And then boom. It keeps adding up variably depending on how your day goes and how busy you are. And eventually you're hooked.

No. But one time when I went to buy a CD from the local music store back in HS I got in the car and he pulled out a disc he stole. >_> Just pissed me off because he didn't tell me and if he had gotten busted I'd have probably gotten in trouble with him.

Salem witches were tried and convicted in kangaroo court. it's not fundamentally different from lynching.

I admitted that it was barbaric. But they didn't drag then onto the streets and hang them. They did at least try them.

This was also technically before the U.S. existed so it's not really part of U.S. history

Also 20 people were lynched during the Salem Witch Trials.

Lynching =/= hanging.

man what's the real difference between the two?

If you're tried and convicted, it's an execution. Literally Salem Witch Trials. It may have been barbaric rulings, but technically they were convicted of crimes.

These Italians were not convicted, the frustrated people took matters into their own hands.

When you're watching Always Sunny, just remember that it's not like other shows. Their sitcom is incredibly artistic, almost to the point where you have to be paying complete attention to them to even remotely understand them. I remember watching an episode from season 6 (though I can't remember what it was), where I thought an episode was absolute bollocks during the watch. Then, I closed my eyes for a second, and all of a sudden the episode had an entirely new meaning. It was insane the way Always Sunny could just become something so different when you take a look into the writing.

Another thing you should note about Always Sunny is that it's easy to get a headache watching them. Not because they're a bad cast, but because of how many ideas their show is riddled with and how complex they are. Soon enough your head will fill to the brim and the rest will just look like trash to you. Just turn it off and give it a watch the next day.

If you don't like the show, you'll definitely at least enjoy reading through the script, and picking apart the episode itself and all of the artistic values that go into making it the complexity that it is.

Yes, but not gonna lie, creating Switch was pretty brilliant. I know some people that only bought a 3DS for pokemon that want a switch for the same reason. And some that are just nintendo fanboys. They found a way to get everyone to buy their shit, while reducing production costs because they only have to produce one thing to appease all the demographics that were buying their stuff before.

All of it is part of the process. The people who are more willing to accept opposing views and the people who want their views enforced are all part of the exact same social process.

I agree. And it has goes like a sine wave throughout our entire history (extenuating circumstances aside). I kinda believe it'll keep going like that. To move forward, you must step with your right foot then your left foot.

Because people kept pushing for it, yes.

Yes, and over time that decision was reached. A longer time than you might think. Like I said, these thing don't happen overnight.

It's cool to try to educate someone about your views and have debates. Shaming people because you feel your way is supreme and must be brought out, is not the way to go. And not giving people time to adjust to something they haven't learned of before is borderline bullying.

"We cant give gay people the right to get married because people need time to react to it"

But we did have time to react to it? Many states allowed it and many states didn't. Finally the SC federally legalized it. Like I said. That legislation didn't happen overnight, that had been brewing for a long time. But eventually the correct decision was reached.

This happened with slavery. Whites were saying "Look change will happen eventually, but it can't happen overnight." Blacks were saying "Since when did you get to decide at what speed we're allowed to be free? Are you my goddamn father or something?"

No I'm pretty sure slave owners back then just wanted their free labor and dominion over their kingdom (plantations)

Won't argue with you about if there aren't people pushing the envelope then there aren't people making progress. I'm just saying being so transparent with the disdain for the other side will work against them. They need to step back and figure out how they lost rather than just shame Republicans because that's how they lost in the first place and they're just further alienating themselves by doing that.

None of these things are directly analogous to one another.

Progressivism paves the way for the future, but Conservatism makes sure it doesn't go too fast. Because we're humans and we need reaction times. What was frowned upon just 15 years ago is starting to become normal. Let everyone else catch up and process things before labelling them.

no, just emphasizing changes occur gradually than overnight. And that we've made progress and continue to make progress. And that presidential party changes have been happening since the beginning of time. Yet now we want to label it for some reason

Making a coherent argument is not the same thing as showing gradual evolution over time. TC, if you want to make a point and have people accept it, follow the classic model:

If A, then B
A
Therefore B

I have an A,B,C model. Here's my C

All I'm try to say is if you agree with that image I posted, then you agree it's a gradual change. As a species, as a society. How far have we come in the past 15 years or so alone? Especially with the LGBT community.

Sure it's not perfect now. There are still many problems to address. And they should be given time to adapt. I believe people should have an adaptive period. You can't expect an overnight change. It's a slow progression. Stop villainizing and shaming people that aren't immediately receptive to your ideals.

You ever stop to think how there hasn't been a single party that had two consecutive presidents serve 2 full terms? If you exempt extenuating circumstances (like FDR serving more terms then dying then Truman serving after the war, or others dying), there really isn't a case of this happening. Last time anything similar happened was Reagan serving 2 terms then Bush serving 1 term. This is a pattern throughout history of fatigue of the status quo. It's been going on forever, and we've still been making steady progress.

So tl;dr, it'll be ok. your guy didn't win, odds are you'll be back in come next election or two. Just how it goes. Stop acting like now all of a sudden this is some new phenomenon. It's just elevated more because we have internet so we can actually communicate with the whole world instantaneously instead of simply talking about it with your neighbor or some stranger at the local supermarket.

I'm sure I am. But giving 10 points in an argument in one post, and when 1 out of 10 comes into argument and that becomes the whole basis of subsequent argument, that's just dumb. So I'm taking it one point at a time.

Nobody can follow your argument because you aren't posting your conclusion and it's not obvious.

That's kind of the point. No one wants to post their opinion on one point if they they think it can possibly segue into something that can contradict themselves when a new point comes up, especially if they know something else is coming and they don't know what the final conclusion is or whether they agree with it or not. I've tried the whole post everything all at once method. One section gets taken out and the rest is ignored. So I'm trying a new method.

OK. So then, this is an image that liberals can probably agree on right?



Once again, this is something that I agree on. I'm not trying to condemn anyone here. I'm not trying to denounce anyone's religious beliefs, nor am I trying to attack evolution. I'm not trying to attack liberals or conservatives either. My question is directed at liberals simply because they are the most vocal here and I kinda want them to see a long term trend but I need these assumptions to be established first, but I just want to be sure that the assumptions I'm making are valid.

Only reason I'm doing it in this manner is because when I make a long post it seems one small part of a big post of info is taken and attacked and the rest is ignored. So I want to go one step at a time so when any hangups occur, we can address it there and then.
