| Lorenzo_2003 06/11/20 10:37:34 AM #11 | In a few years and with a bit more work done, there will be too much uncanny valley for me. Its like the Kardashians who started off pretty, but now they all look like heavy mannequins. They got that money, though. --- ... |

| Topic | They should tear down statues of the founding fathers while they're at it. |
| Lorenzo_2003 06/11/20 7:05:52 AM #57 | Just put native animals on the money and maybe a few statues, if they saved someones life. Might be preemptively good to not put any carnivores, though. If you dig enough or consider the evidence, you wont find any humans who are beyond reproach. I think this will be especially true as peoples moral standards change in years to come. We dont know what the Hell our grandkids will be mad about. --- ... |
| Topic | They should tear down statues of the founding fathers while they're at it. |
| Lorenzo_2003 06/11/20 4:54:16 AM #24 | iPhone_7 posted... Theres letters & writings left behind by the Founding Fathers. They knew that slavery was wrong & immoral and did it anyways or stood by as it happened. You are not wrong, although what you said also applies to all of us. There is literally still slavery going on as we speak. Yet none of us is doing shit about it. A few people are. Theyve given up their normal lives to risk getting attacked, killed or imprisoned, and losing what little they have. Ive made a decision to not rock the boat because I like my comfortable life and dont want to endanger my family. The Founding Fathers wrestled with their conflicting views because slavery was mostly accepted, even if the brutality wasnt. We dont have that excuse. And we cant justify our inaction by saying we dont have any power or resources right now, because weve recently seen thousands mobilize all over the world for a cause they did take seriously. --- ... |

So want you set your butt butt down some place. I saw you deflecting from Dathrowed1s mention of Jews. He was responding to someone who also tried to downplay the topic by complaining about other groups not getting attention. He was doing an aLl LiVeS matteR response, just like you doing now. You can make another topic thread, instead of deflecting and trying to make victimization into a competition. --- ... |

Ehh, the continuation of the tweet is Trump saying the people (he uses the word heroes) who trained at these forts went on to win two world wars. As far as I know, he never mentions the Civil War, but the forts themselves are named after Civil War generals. Its bad optics. --- ... |

| Topic | Confederate flag = MLK, apparently. |
| Lorenzo_2003 06/10/20 10:55:59 AM #5 | Honestly, you might as well take all human statues down. Theyve all said or done something that is offensive to a lot of modern peoples sensibilities. Just keep all those statues of dogs. Theyre pretty noble. Although I can still see it being sometimes problematic because Ive seen statues honoring military working dogs who sniff for bombs, for example, and many people oppose war efforts. --- ... |

Was it really that, or was the government angry that Columbus was physically brutal to some of his own countrymen and women? I remember reading that he punished them harshly as well. Like you implied, Europeans at that time were not that sympathetic to indigenous people anyway. --- ... |

I don't think so. unless something really bad happens in society, I think 200 years from now, nobody will care if you watched porn. we will probably be considered prudes by the people 200 years from now if anything Theres no way of really knowing that, one way or another. Go ask those boomers, whom everyone hates on, if they ever thought the views they supported and took for granted as teenagers would ever be reviled by their grandkids. And then you want to throw in a 200 year chasm of time? --- ... |

Tearing down a statue helps them feel a sense of accomplishment, and its more safe than most forms of protest because at least you probably wont get a tear gas shell to the face. --- ... |

I wouldn't be opposed to really old movies getting a little disclaimer like the old looney tunes cartoons get a "yeah, we have some offensive portrayals here, its wrong but was part of the time, and its important to acknowledge that". Best disclaimer they could put for a movie is a screen that says, Get your pearls ready. Youll be clutching them soon. --- ... |

| Topic | I don't really like Joe Rogan but this was inspirational as fuck |
| Lorenzo_2003 06/10/20 12:00:24 AM #29 | Esrac posted... His general messages are positive and valuable and he is really good at interviewing a wide variety of guests in a way that is accessible to just about anyone. That is a big problem for some people. They dont feel that all guests should be allowed to talk publicly and that anyone should have access to what theyre saying. Joe Rogan doesnt care and will talk to anyone he finds interesting. He does not always agree with every guest and has even been aggressive about it on several occasions. But, again, the fact that he even invited them to be interviewed makes Joe Rogan problematic. --- ... |
| Topic | Coachella is CANCELLED. |
| Lorenzo_2003 06/09/20 11:46:41 PM #9 | Somebody should remind the Coachella team that nobody gives a shit about the pandemic anymore. There are literally thousands upon thousands of people gathering all over the world, shopping, hanging out and doing whatever else they want to do. Put on a big concert, or really any fantastic show, and people will show up. --- ... |
| Topic | What did you think of Terry Crews' recent controversial comments? |
| Lorenzo_2003 06/09/20 11:40:01 PM #25 | Terry Crews is a winner. He should remind those losers, AKA the people always criticizing him, of that fact every time they open their mouths. But he is too much of a good guy to do that. His best option at this point is to not engage the nonsense and just focus on staying a winner. If he keeps getting involved, their toxicity will eventually bring him down to their level and he will end up another cancel culture casualty. --- ... |

But then people realized Rosie got those personal bodyguards who are armed... with guns. I mean the original argument might still be a fair point, but it sounds like shit coming from someone like that. --- ... |

| Topic | Do you think that humanity is a failure? |
| Lorenzo_2003 06/09/20 9:38:24 AM #47 | No, I dont think humanity is a failure. Our population has exploded and we mold the environment to suit our own needs. We have split the atom and are exploring outer space, in one form or another. You could make an argument that the methods have been unethical or maybe immoral in some way, but the results are based on us, as a species, being the exact opposite of a failure. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 06/09/20 9:24:04 AM #18 | Squall28 posted... It's better to focus over what you have control over than to blame all your problems on the system. I agree, but focusing on what you can improve means you have to take responsibility for your actions, for better or worse. Not everyone, maybe most, do not want to do that. It can be painful and lonely. If you blame all your problems on the system or other people or whatever, then you get to be part of larger movements. You can do that with like-minded people and its, by definition, easier to dismiss your personal failures. --- ... |

You're probably right, but a lot of people are so frustrated that they want to give other options a try. Anyway, I say good luck to those efforts, and Im not being sarcastic.

| Topic | Defunding the cops makes no sense... |
| Lorenzo_2003 06/09/20 8:56:31 AM #5 | If I understand correctly, the argument for defunding police is to make society so great for everyone, that no one will be motivated to commit crimes. Anyone saying they dont want to actually get rid of police isnt being truthful. They do want to get rid of police, and maybe that is not automatically a bad thing. Their plan is to replace cops with social workers, mental health experts and such. Ideally, this will create a much less violent environment for everyone. Id like to see a big city try this out. --- ... |

He was funny, but more importantly he made everyone else funnier, maybe because he was the most different in the group. The other comedians could play off that character. Besides, I remember several senior citizens as my classmates in college, so it was a pleasant surprise to see that angle represented in Community. --- ... |

That is sort of true for at least one rich person I know. Shes not billionaire rich or anything crazy like that, but she and her husband dont have big commitments to anything and are financially independent enough to the point that they travel basically everywhere. Their big passion is scuba diving and there are a lot of pretty, exotic places to do that. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 06/09/20 7:05:01 AM #158 | TheCEmanCometh posted... Ryan Madison is the worst right of it right now. He had a Bill Cosby type of situation where like 70 women came forward of horror stories. Ranging from being choked until they were unconscious, being given alcohol until they passed out and then he started fucking them, being sunburn and having him be rough with them causing them a lot of pain, broken arm from being dropped, ripping their asshole, as well as all the creampies that weren't agreed upon. I hope that piece of shit ends up in prison for the rest of his life. Violating someone is terrible enough, but hurting so many in an aggravated manner is downright cruel. --- ... |

He would have been 25-35 when those tweets were made. He was old enough to know what he was saying and i doubt his views or "humor" changed much/ The show decided they no longer want to associate with someone like that. They're call. Also, if someone starts a tweet with "the ONLY thing stopping me from being racist..."....they should probably stop right there and consider what they just said lol. You dont fucking know what is going to get you cancelled years from now. People eventually could start taking seriously the issues that incels have, for example, then your ass loses a coveted job after they find out that you used to post on CE.

Im not sure how that will work when we start to really transition towards automated workforces. The new industry will probably create new jobs for humans, but I doubt it will be so many that it will cover the jobs lost. Might as well pay people the basic income theyve been asking for, although I believe that could put the nation behind other up and coming nations that dont have that same concern. --- ... |

The point he was warning against is that if black people try to destroy white supremacy without embracing whites that hate racism and are sympathetic, it will just lead to a new form of supremacy and more discrimination. The shoe will just be on a different foot. Thats exactly what some people want. Ive heard and read people justify it by saying this group or that group deserves to be subjugated now because of history, so the idea of removing boots from peoples necks is not actually the end goal for them. They aim to be the one with their foot in the boot instead. --- ... |
