I don't condone bullying, but my daughter will know how to whip someone's ass instead of being a victim. My only regret from high school is that I didn't fight back against mine.

Doesn't work like that. You throw a punch and you get suspended. Schools never punish the real bullies.

"an illegal immigrant did something bad therefore they are all bad and we're going to ignore the millions of actual americans who have done bad to push our narrative"...

I watched the entire video but did not hear this quote. Can you point me to the timestamp to the person saying this? I would be very interested.

I understand that TC is joking but I don't understand why.

People who spontaneously shout out FUCK in every sentence like they have Tourette's syndrome.

The only argument anyone has is that there's a stigma against it

That's pretty much all there is, although I would argue it's also pretty wrong to financially burden your parents who have earned a little independence after raising you and taking care of you for so many years. But living with your parents can be a financially wise move at any age, provided it's temporary and you use it as an investment.

No, because Game of Thrones will end.

Sounds like a great way to get a lot more dead cops and civilians without any statistical benefit to the world.

I'm okay with this

You would be, you're a literal terrorist.

What was so bad about Peggy Hill? She's one of the most developed characters on the show next to Luanne.

Peggy ruined thanksgiving because she was mad that Bobby was a better cook than her.

She kidnapped a little girl from Mexico because she thinks that she is fluent in Spanish.

She took a random genius test online and paid for the diploma/certificate.

Told people through a newspaper article to mix bleach an ammonia (you know mustard gas) for a super cleaning solution.

If you don't think ALL of these are hilarious then you really should not be watching comedy shows.

No, she is the most under appreciated fictional character ever.

I like to wear SKIRTS even though I am a MAN! Should I become transsexual?

(I'm not trans, but I think I may try wearing a skirt sometime.)

Which is worse? A hit and run or falsifying a police report?

Another day, another instance of Doom_Art hunched over at his desk, solely illuminated by the glow of his monitor on his angry furrowed brow, repeatedly mashing F5 on the CE topic list so that he can be the first to shitpost in any and all remotely conservative topics without even reading or watching them first.

Well all SJWs are racist by definition.

what definition is that?

The fact that they value racial and gender identity above knowledge or character. Everyone with certain immutable characteristics belongs in certain "groups" and don't even think about trying to cross or "appropriate" from other groups.

Well all SJWs are racist by definition, but the main difference is that regular racists are just ignorant whereas SJWs are simply evil. I'd definitely rather be ignorant than evil.

Banning protest is not free speech. That is the opposite of free speech.

Spare me the histrionics. They're not "protesting," they're obstructing, intimidating, and rioting and everyone knows it.

Sounds like you're the one whining.

Yeah, really not that surprising. All they do is make it seem as if most feminists have crazy opinions in order to shut down legitimate concerns about women's rights.

Um, what do you think feminists do to any mention of "men's rights" at all? Fucking hypocrites.

The higher percentage of the population that is homeless (San Francisco, Seattle, etc) the fewer are mentally ill. Some cities just suck to live in.

"Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today.

I always felt that teleportation kills the person but creates a clone with it's memories

That all depends on what you consider a person's existence to be. If it's just a culmination of sextillions of atoms and particles, I think I've read somewhere that by the time 10 years have passed, all of the atoms in our bodies have been replaced, so we're literally not the same people as we were 10 years ago. A person's personhood is likely something greater than that person's phsyical composite.

Being as teleportation has recently become something legitimately within our grasps, I'd say no

Source?

I thought teleportation would be sweet but then the Trek Effect comes to mind where it essentially kills you.

If it's teleportation by quantum entanglement, it's not exactly the same as killing you (but also it is in a weird way). Instead of just scrambling your molecules and scattering them into the air like sound into radio broadcast waves, quantum entanglement makes one particle essentially exist as two, until the state of that particle is observed and its existence must collapse into one of the two locations. So while one of the two particles is destroyed, it's still the same particle.

Absolutely, both socially and economically.

Not even close.

That's part of it, the other part is slandering that person's reputation in order to coerce others to blindly attack them.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-11/microsoft-pushes-fast-internet-for-u-s-heartland-to-bridge-broadband-gap

Right now, 23.4 million Americans in rural areas can't get the fast internet access increasingly needed for tasks like homework, job applications, online medical treatment and remote repairs for farming equipment. Over the years, Microsoft developed and tested its broadband software, along with new chips, devices and antennae, in places including Kenya and Colombia. While it has had some U.S. projects, Microsoft largely overlooked its home country in efforts to bridge the digital divide. That message was underscored in last year's presidential election, when rural voters expressed dissatisfaction and anger over being left out of economic and technological growth, Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith said.

"It's fair to say the election raised our level of consciousness, as it did for a great many people in the country," Smith said in an interview. "It certainly caused us to reflect on the fact that we had been pursuing these projects to a greater degree in rural Africa than rural America. We'd been involved in Asia and other continents more so than in our own country."

Microsoft's own investments will provide access to less than 10 percent of the rural population currently without broadband, so the software maker is asking other companies and the government to get involved. Microsoft will share the technology as well as related patents for free with partners and rivals.

This is by far the most important infrastructure upgrade this country needs and the longest overdue. Broadband internet is one of the major amenities that keep millennials in urban areas and moving away from rural areas, while many areas in the midwest struggle to find workers.

so why doesn't the free market go off and create a bunch of right-wing leaning colleges?

You know many of the left wing colleges are state funded right?

all the more reason for the free market to go off and do something better. after all, anything the government touches is automatically inferior to the free market equivalent, right?

LMAO is this the "left wing education" I keep hearing about?

care to make a rebuttal of actual substance and point out what, specifically, you think is wrong in my statement? or is "LOL UR DUMB" the best you can come up with?

How about we start with the very fact you don't know the basics of what a "free market" is. It's not a free market if your competitor is the government. Derp.

You're reduced to posting Twitter feeds now? Not even gonna click.

"free market" would have to imply that ISPs had actual competition.

No, that's not what the term means nor does it imply that.

Yes it does. ISPs do NOT exist in a free market space in many areas, and much of that is due to red tape and getting approval from municipalities, not to mention disputes over which providers are allowed to use the telephone poles by existing entities such as AT&T, despite the fact that they are public. This is why people in rural areas with only one ISP option pay $90 a month for the fraction of the speed they would get in a city. If a market is not free, it either needs to be made free or it needs government intervention to prevent it from being abused.

Most of the hate comes from poorer white users in their mid 30's who still live with their parents in their rural communities.

Yeah a lot of hate crimes going on there with all the empty land and cows and chickens. It's a fucking MAD HOUSE.

I find it hard to believe there are Americans unfamiliar with the stereotype of the old Southern man calling black adult men "boy".

Like I keep telling you people, it only exists within YOUR bubble. Normal people just go about their own lives without finding reasons to harass people.

For the record, I don't think McGregor is being racist. I'm just challenging the people who are claiming that there is no history of calling black men "boy" being racist.

It's still a stupid thing to assume regardless of who's saying it. It's completely unheard of.

You know, what is with you speaking as if only your experiences in life are legitimate and if anyone disagrees with you they're horribly wrong? I've noticed that it basically crosses into any subject matter with you, and then you demean the other person at the same time. It's sort of pathetic

You're talking out of your ass.

Yes, a very old pre Jim Crow one

White men would call black men that as a symbol of power of them.

I'm both surprised and not suprised that you guys don't know that

I'm both surprised and not surprised that you lefties have to go digging a hundred years back to look for antiquated expressions or slurs that nobody alive uses anymore in order to attack people or suppress speech.

So there are undertones except when there aren't undertones. Got it.

It may surprise you to learn that context exists. Our very ability to communicate depends on it.

Context exists only when you decide that it exists. That's the whole point. It's completely arbitrary, especially when "boy" = "racist" is pure fiction to begin with.

YourDrunkFather posted...

I can't help but find that article a bit ironic considering he's complaining about racial language and then moving right to reinforcing stereotypes about whites in the south and calling them "cracker ass, crackers"

Exactly. Political correctness has everything to do with dominance and control over speech, not respect or politeness. PC people are more often than not more racist than the ones they accuse.

Antifar posted...

Yeah, there's a lot of undertones there. MacGregor is Irish, though, and I'm not sure the connotations cross the pond like that.

eston posted...

Depends on context, but here in the south if a white man calls a black man "boy" it is usually quite racist

Southern white men call EVERYONE boy. Pretty sure you don't live here.

How big of a snowflake do you have to be to cry "racist" from "boy?"

So the game developers don't have to make an actual game.

whitewimmin posted...

A. When was this era, exactly? I must have missed it.

Every year the republicans did not engage in the democrats' hostile dishonest tactics.

The number would definitely be higher if it weren't for the fact that the cost of living is so high that many people can't even afford to set aside the moving expenses.

I believe you're thinking of something else. In fact that sounds more like something that happens in some TV movie about cyberbullying. Don't remember the name of it.

No, this was a live stream from many years ago. You could see the comments reacting to what was going on.

I'll be honest, I was pretty disappointed when he turned out to be the main villain. I thought he was just the annoying henchmen who would thankfully die halfway through the game.
