Btw I know you guys hate when people respond to his bait, but that was one of the grossest posts I've ever read in my 15 years on the board. I couldn't help it.

Thanks for the responses though, Corrik.

They are empowered to try and make the best decision. And, when they abuse that power or go beyond that power they should be prosecuted. We should not, however, disrespect, belittle, or demonize the ones that are there to protect us.

What's your opinion on Ulti's despicable post where he literally mocks good cops?

Because tbqh, as a person who actually has relatives in Law Enforcement and best friends in the military, that post has made me lose every single little tiny bit of remaining respect for his ass.

Phantom Dust.

If your relatives are the kind of cops who "guarantee backup doesn't show up on time" for "the guy who does the right thing", they deserve to "be at a higher risk to be murdered".

Because it's better them than the "choir boys" who actually protect and serve.

And if you actually have honorable LEO relatives (you probably don't because you can't help your pathological lies) they'd agree with me.

Before you get triggered: No, I'm not saying cops should die. I'm flipping your exact words around and saying if someone does, it should be the crooked ones.

I remember that female officer who was shot and killed because she was afraid to fire because of the backlash of possibly losing her job if she was wrong.

That should never happen.

Agreed.

But do you not agree that an innocent civilian who committed zero criminal offenses being killed is just as tragic?

And if you work in a high crime area but you're the kind of guy who does the right thing, it's directly adverse to your safety to rat on cops that actually are scumbags, because word will get out and you're guaranteed to not have your backup show up on time. So if you're a choir boy, you're actually more likely to get killed on duty than a jerk is. HAVE FUN. No one actually talks about this point, which is all the proof I need that the people bashing police live comfortable middle class lives and have absolute dick for street smarts. Because anyone with street smarts knows full well that no one at work trusts a rat.

Lmao way to undermine your own point and straight up SAY that crooked cops ruin it for the good ones.

Incredible.

My Uncle is a Sheriff's Deputy and I agree completely with the "people in this topic who bash cops all day".

It's cute how you think having a relative who does the job you yourself can't puts you in a superior position.

It only makes no sense if you are still buying this lie that Trump didn't have enthusiastic support and turn out a large number of voters for himself or the other lie that hillary did not turn out voters. Clinton basically equalled 2012 Obama. Trump just blew out Romney.

Therefore, for Bernie to have won he would have had to be a lot closer to 2008 Obama.

I mean if you want to be reductive like this, there were 5 million more third party voters in 2016 compared to 2012.

If even 100,000 of them went to Bernie in the right states...(remember, the Bernie's Dank Meme Stash Facebook group that basically went Bernie or Bust had almost 500,000 members)

I really wish people would stop saying Bernie would have lost against Trump.

It just makes no logical sense.

Basic transitive property.

It makes perfect sense.

Care to elaborate?

Because setting aside that literally every poll showed Bernie beating Trump, he had none of her weaknesses and his strength undercut Trump's?

Sure, he'd lose Status Quo people like Eddv, but you think actual Democrats were gonna vote Trump? Bernie picks up the dyed in the wool Dem vote and all those white swing voters Hillary was radioactive to for an easy win.

Hell, the night after the election CNN and Fox both held interviews with people who said "I'd have voted Bernie, but I don't trust Hillary so I voted Trump". I mean what's the counter argument to that?

Dude if Bernie was VP we'd live in such a different world.

If a police officer shoots someone wrongly they should be charged as a murderer and prosecuted.

Black Lives Matters is more inherently racist btw as it singles out one race of people whose lives matter. The too being understood is not a relatively good argument.

I know a lot of good people are probably involved with it, but a few have done violence in the name of Black Lives Matters because it has not done a good job at differentiating between it being a black power group and a call for civil rights group.

Arguing Blue Lives Matters, All Lives Matter are racist before Black Lives Matter just seems like a convenient argument and not a sound one.

Dude has there literally ever been an "All Lives Matter" demonstration where they came out in support of any lives at all?

It's literally just a refrain used to shut down people saying Black Lives Matter.

Tony, you also do realize you are wishing for the storm to hit others that have nothing to do with you right? And, people lose lives to hurricanes. Just imo sounds like a tasteless comment.

Woulda accepted... my family or friends lives so and so and if it went more west it would have missed them.

If a hurricane is going to hit anywhere, I'd be ok with it hitting here.

It's already going to hit others that have nothing to do with me.

In fact, my area is less populous than Southern Florida up through Atlanta and Charleston on its current path, so it'd affect less people if it swung more into the Gulf and hit here.

Yeah, I could lose everything and it'd be good as long as I had enough for the deductible (I do).

In fact, I want to do some renovations so a total loss would be sweet tbh lol.

I was hoping to see Irma hit closer to me.

Um... still what?

Is there like any context coming behind this on why you would have hoped for this?

I clicked the topic and one of the recent posts was "it shifted West again", and I was just saying I wished it shifted more West.

I have great home insurance that covers more than the value of my home, plus my house has a storm shelter built into it.

If a hurricane is going to hit anywhere, I'd be ok with it hitting here.

Uhhh...yeah that sounds good to me. It's crazy that people think this sounds awful.

I've always found it weird how a lot of conservatives don't view America's rights/protections as an actual good thing but rather as a weird form of wealth. As in, they're not valuable in-and-of themselves; they're valuable because you have rights and someone else doesn't. It leads to weirdness like this, as well as the nonsense where the Constitution is only good as long as it's helping Americans and as soon as it helps an illegal immigrant it's a bad thing. Like it would lose all its virtue if it was applied to the world, because it's not a statement on human rights, it's just a way of institutionalizing better treatment for "us" as compared to "them".

It's even weirder when they feel the need to specify that they are GOD GIVEN rights, not given to us by the Government.

So God gave these rights to Americans only? That's convenient!

nobody liked hillary mudslinging obama, even here in canada it became part of the hillary clinton personality in comedy impersonations

"but hillary did it" isn't a defense, nobody here is claiming hillary to be some great person, she's never been the "personality" candidate

It isn't a defense when Hillary is making the attacks?

I'm skeptical.

I'm not willing to put Sanders into the top 5 of the reasons Hillary lost but his scorched earth longshot primary campaign helped no one and served as an albatross

I get what you're saying, but that's literally how primaries work.

In 2008, Hillary literally brought up Louis Farrakhan and said Obama should have denounced him sooner, compared Obama to Dubya, and basically called him soft on terrorists...which for that last one in particular if you'll recall, was a common accusation from Republicans his entire presidency.

The spoiler thing is terrible imo. Maybe I misread it but is it basically saying after a certain time since a game's release spoilers are not spoilers anymore, or they become less important? that's terrible. spoilers are spoilers

I agree with this. I play lots of old games... Especially since new ones suck. Would hate to get something important spoiled.

I third this.

An ideal solution would be that if a post is marked as potential spoilers without warning, the entire post is automatically concealed by spoiler text, with repeat occurances and abuse of the marking system as punishable offenses.

Bernie is also to blame for "Lyin' Ted" and "Little Marco" btw


Give me a break, guys. Republicans have been calling Hillary crooked for a decade.

Blaming that on Bernie is disingenuous at best, and at worst, proving the exact point Bernie supporters have said from Day 1.

I don't think Bernie would have definitely lost, but I don't think he'd clearly win either.

In any case, I also think Clinton would have beaten Bernie by a decent amount more if it wasn't for sexism (not saying that that's the reason most people supported Bernie, but there definitely were a group of people that wanted anyone but Clinton and her gender is part of that).

I do think Biden would have most likely won had he been the nominee.

I agree with all of this, but part of it is because Bernie's support came in the Independents and Left-leaning folks who refused to partake in the Democratic Primary.

Bernie had record-breaking crowds. He energized people like 08' Obama did.

Unfortunately, enough of those crowds were people ineligible to vote when he needed it.

It's insane to me that people like LotM and Inviso can in one breath say "Sexism is why Hillary lost"(I agree it was a factor, continue reading), but in the next breath say "The most popular male politician in the country would have lost".

"He didn't get attacked by the GOP" is a joke of a reason. He literally did.

"He's a Socialist", "He has three houses/lakehouse", "He wrote an article about sex fantasies", and "He's never had a real job".

Those were brought up constantly by Republicans, and it has done fuckall to hurt his popularity.
