What's not to understand? Bats is far superior to Goku in skill. Goku is all power. He holds back and is taken out by lasers and bullets and poison. Bats eats those things for breakfast despite being much slower and weaker.

Also a reminder that Goku and the Z fighters regularly lose to things with just power and no training. Like the Androids and Buu.

The Goku vs Hit the Hitman fight was a battle between Goku's skill as a martial artist vs Hit's raw strength, power, and his abilities.

You guys are engaging in some serious mental gymnastics here.

For you to have the right to use the n-word with impunity you must also restrict the free speech rights of others.

I like how literally saying the word makes you a piece of shit racist. Like if you dont censor yourself you are racist. Thats like saying if you say "Hitler" and not the "H-guy" you hate jews.

you are aware that there's an actual slur that gets used against jews, right


Im racist if i know it or ignorant if i dont. Picking my poison.....

You can't claim ignorance if someone just told you your 'hypothetical' conditional isn't actually hypothetical. The N-word and its trauma is very much an American experience. By comparison, Jewish people are subject to several of racially targeted slurs and insults in the US and all across Western Europe.


So people shouldnt be free to use these words right?

no one is saying that

but they should be aware that there are consequences for using them


Your free but theres consequences? Sounds like laws....

What does freedom of speech mean to you and why do you believe that other people don't have a right to react to what you say?

Everyone is free to say it. Why can't people understand this?


if tc says it and a dude punches him out

would you say this fair or the guy punching him committed a crime (assault)?

answer honestly

of course it'd be a crime. idk what this scenario has to do with their post, though


because this has occurred in real life on many occasions and the assaulter was indeed justified

say the n word, get beat

that isn't freedom of speech so why pretend like people are free to say it? that is disingenuous and will trick week minded people into getting into a bad situation where they get beat up by behaviour society condones and even sometimes demands

You're free to speak and others are free to react. You have to be mental to set out and deliberately attempt to offend someone and then get shocked at what happens once you succeed.

This has nothing to do with being a conservative or anti gay. Fake news once again just going for buzz words and click bait, and people eat that shit up. He bashed the movie for having it be about a relationship with a 17 year old.

The movie takes place in Italy, where the age of consent is 17.

James Wood is a man who tried to pick up Amber Tamblyn, who was 16 at the time.

Do you not see the what's wrong with Jame's Wood denouncement?


Did you read my post? I never said he was right. I said it has nothing to do with being a conservative or anti gay.

...Uh, can you honestly sit there and say James Wood, a man notorious for his conservative values (don't believe me? Look up all that he espouses) isn't against this movie because it features a relationship between two males?

I really doubt that if this movie had been a guy and a girl, he wouldn't have chimed in.

He's probably using the age difference between the characters as a pretext to denounce the film for it's display of homosexuality. But of course he's not going to be explicit about it. It's unpopular to be an anti-gay idiot nowadays, even for a failing actor such as himself.


Seems like you need to do a lot of mental gymnastics and make a lot of assumptions to twist the facts to fit into your "everything is racist/homophobic/sexist" SJW narrative.

What happened to just reporting the facts without inserting personal bias in news?

When has that ever happened? The act of reporting is inherently biased.

It's not a connection that goes both ways.

If you are conservative and gay, you will likely hate gays as a front to protect your credibility within your group, and/or out of shame. However, there are plenty of just regular gay-hating conservatives out there. Enough for most to be straight. It's not like homophobia is a sign of being closeted.


Suuure, I bet they are all straight... just like how every closeted gay guy is straight until they come out lol.

right and that went out the window when they introduced power levels

Enemies have always and still to this day bring up the fact that his stance is flawless. I agree that it really doesn't matter just wanted to point that out.

I thought what was always brought up that he lets his guard down and gets fucked over for it >.>

If you want to exclude the Irish,


He's not excluding the Irish. He's saying that it was discrimination against a small pocket of Europeans that weren't considered white at the time. There was never a time in American history where all whites as a group (Irish, Italian, Polish, German, English, French, and so on) were discriminated against under the umbrella of "white people." There were times when some of those European groups were terrible to others, but that was more specific.

How about not being able to vote? Yes southern white men could not vote at one time. Think about it.

Because only wealthy white male landowners could vote. They weren't discriminated against because they were white, they were discriminated against cause they were broke, didn't own shit worth bragging about, or didn't have a penis.

You hate whites from the south?

Another way Republicans kept control in the South was by preventing whites from voting there. They passed a law saying no southerner could vote if he had taken part in the rebellion against the Union. This prevented the majority of southern whites from voting for Democrats and against Republicans.Jul 13, 2005

So not because they were white, but because they took part in a rebellion.

No, and in the future it will be changed to reflect that (see: how definition of 'literally' was changed.)

What's the eta on dictionaries changing their definitions of that word to match up with how you're using it?

"No Irish need apply"

The UK had "No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs" as well.

So it wasn't because they were white, it was because they were Irish; a group of people at the time that weren't even considered white at all yet.

Oh my. I know I'm replying to a baby account, likely a trolling alt, but I'll go ahead and field this one.

If, by your logic, you can't count discrimination against the Irish as discrimination against whites because they weren't considered to be white, you can't count slavery as discrimination against blacks because they weren't considered people. Can't discriminate against things.

Your argument is a bad one.

They were considered people, just an inferior. One of the arguments used to justify their enslavement was that doing so was meant to bring them closer to God. You can convert people but you can't convert an object.

All that settling out of court means is that it's cheaper to pay her off than it is to go to trial. It's not an admission of guilt.

You think it's cheaper in the long run to rehire a racist - whom they had to pay out a settlement of over a million dollars over for her racism - than to not rehire her?


The "rehire" was a technicality so she could receive her pension in the settlement. Also helps if she wants to come out of "retirement" and find another job. Easier to pay the racist to go away than it would be to fight in court, especially after they had to pay out a million plus to the guy in the first place.

Easier, maybe, but certainly not cheaper, because the union means they can't just drum her out or force her to find a new job. She could stay right where she is, and there's nothing they can do about it.

You really think they'd agree to such a possibility if she couldn't prove they were racist towards her in some way?

Not if doing so just results in a costly court battle.

By re-hiring her, they're going to go through a lot more costly court battles due to her racism.

Like, do you not understand that at all, or what?

So you've stopped arguing that she wasn't fired for being racist. Cute.

I'm saying that, clearly, she had a legitimate argument about being treated unfairly due to her white skin, otherwise there's no way in Hell that, after doing something like this and being fired, she could make such an argument and have it go her way.

They had to re-hire her - think about that. She got her job back because of her argument! That doesn't happen unless she's got a point.

It happens pretty regularly, actually. Cop unions are some of the most influential in the country. I'd chalk her being reinstated less on their being a lack of evidence for her racism and more on the police department not following due process for her being fired.

Except nothing I'm finding on the case suggests the union sued on her behalf. They settled out of court to give her the job back, and if they had legitimate cause to fire her, no union in America could exert enough pressure to undo that.

So if they settled out of court then why are you saying that's proof that she wasn't fired for being racist?

Because there's literally no reason to settle if she had no case. If her argument was even a LITTLE bullshit, and the firing was legit, it would have been cheaper in the short AND long run to let her hang herself in court.

Cities don't settle out of court if they aren't culpable in some way. Even if they did, if the firing was legit, they aren't giving her the job back.

All that settling out of court means is that it's cheaper to pay her off than it is to go to trial. It's not an admission of guilt.

No maybe just people like you were on the jury. Most people worth their salt would think that kidnapping and lying about a crime were just reason to be fired .

And, apparently, the city couldn't prove that this was more likely than racism for her firing.

You're going to tell me that you can find twelve people that live in the same district in Seattle that would agree that the racist wasn't fired for her racism when presented with evidence that she was fired for her racism?

Seattle, one of the more liberal areas of the country? THAT's your argument?

Why are you making arguments on the trial without knowing the details about it?
