| Topic | Native American, 1st Nation, or American Indian? |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/12/20 11:50:28 PM #18 | g0ldie posted... whatever the person prefers, tbh. Yeah, pretty much. Its a diverse group. I know Natives (my choice of words) who always call themselves Indian, but a couple of others who dont seem to care as long as you address them with respect. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/12/20 11:47:14 PM #12 | sylverlolol posted... lol Thats a simple take. Laws have consequences. They impact businesses and peoples lives. Im not saying the new law would be wrong, but thinking its just about being butthurt is not being aware of reality. --- ... |
| Topic | Ben Shapiro is PISSED that Kamala Harris is Joe Biden's VP pick. |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/12/20 11:42:39 PM #73 | Ruvan22 posted... How many political or legal offices has Ben Shapiro held? Isnt that the point, though? Shapiros never held office, never had real opportunity to hurt anyone, except maybe their feelings. Hes basically a practiced loud mouth. Yet somehow hes worse than Kamala Harris, who actually did hurt people, and just mentioning Shapiros name makes peoples eyes twitch. I dont personally care one way or another about Harris as a VP pick, but it does amuse me that some of the people hand waving her selection are like those CHAZ/CHOP dipshits who went on and on about cops being pigs, fuck the cops, defund the cops but then got mad and want to sue when they called the cops and they didnt rush over immediately to resolve the violence in their autonomous zone. --- ... |

| Topic | ''If god exists, why does he let kids die of cancer/starvation?'' |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/12/20 11:34:30 AM #26 | blasster posted... Maybe first we should ask why don't humanity help each other overcome starvation..... No. Its valid to start with the question of why a supposedly all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving God allows all those kinds of suffering to happen to children in the first place. Oh, and were all supposed to bow before this deity and proclaim not only our subservience, but our own love to it as well. --- ... |
| Topic | Would you date a ftm who detransitioned back to female? |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/12/20 10:54:00 AM #23 | _Rinku_ posted... Testosterone will make FtM individuals have a deeper voice because it thickens the vocal cords. Yes, and it appears to have done more than that. Shes posted pics and vid clips of when she was a bit younger and still naturally feminine (i.e. pre F-M-F), and her facial structure was softer. She was pretty then and shes pretty now, just... different. --- ... |

| Topic | are you embarrassed to be american? |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/11/20 10:24:55 AM #67 | TreyFlowers posted... Tell me, exactly what about America is better than Canada, Australia, England, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, etc? And if you say "mUh FrEeDoMs" then I'm just as free as you are here in Australia, and also we have universal healthcare. Youre framing it as a competition when it doesnt need to be, so its the same mistake that some Americans make when they think their nation is better. I mean you could be proud of your friends, family, employer, nation, or anything really, without giving much thought about what some other people are doing in another place. Likewise, you can choose to be proud of something, while not being blind to its flaws and acknowledging that it should be improved. --- ... |
| Topic | There is still a funamental thing about Christianity that really confuses me. |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/11/20 8:25:11 AM #6 | Youre missing a big part of their equation. You have to accept Jesus as your savior, if you want to be accepted into the Christian version of Heaven. Not accepting Jesus is no bueno to the faithful. --- ... |

| Topic | are you embarrassed to be american? |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/11/20 6:55:19 AM #59 | cavalierking posted... ... bro, if your family went out to dinner and your grandpa ended up calling your black server the n-word, are you saying that you would feel absolutely nothing in that situation? Id be disappointed in my grandfathers words and embarrassed of him at that moment, but I would not be embarrassed that I am part of the family, which is comparable to you implying Americans should be embarrassed to be American. As a family, wed talk about it and see if we can improve his attitude, but hes still part of the family. If he had done a crime, then Id expect him to face the legal consequences. That doesnt mean Im going to be ashamed to say we are related. --- ... |
| Topic | How important is diversity to you? |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/10/20 11:06:36 PM #20 | Neutral. I dont care much either way. It never bothered me when I would walk into an office and see mainly women, even if they are all Latina or all white, for example. Likewise, I never thought much of whether or not a movie star looked like me or not. Im not white, so they almost always dont. Its like Hollywood is a fantasy place anyway and I dont have expectations of it, other than being entertained. --- ... |
| Topic | are you embarrassed to be american? |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/10/20 10:57:47 PM #45 | cavalierking posted... ... as opposed to the kind of mouth-breather mentality that drives one to feel better that they're than others through their pedantic, non-contributional takes to this topic? I mean hes right. Why the fuck would you be ashamed of being an American? Consider that the Senate, Representatives and President often change within two to maybe eight years and you cant control what every other voter decides. The leadership changes. The direction of the country changes. This is also true at the state and local levels. Besides that, if we are just going by individuals or even organizations, you shouldnt take on the burdens of a diverse group of 330+ million people. Do you think Chinese people should be ashamed of being Chinese, because of someone like Xi Jinping and his supporters? Or that people in Afghanistan should be ashamed of being Afghan, because of what the Taliban did when they were in power? Im pretty sure most people would say its racist or at least unreasonable to say they should be. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/09/20 5:17:41 AM #15 | indica posted... Nope, context is important Does it, though? If this had been a Republican politician, there would be a thread title saying something like Conservative White Fascist Part-time Landlord Karen steals from POC orphans pockets, regardless of the actual beliefs, politics and other context involved. And 200%, it would be tied to Trump somehow. TCs thread title above is pretty tame, all things considered. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/07/20 3:09:05 AM #74 | These kinds of controversies get weirder and weirder. I wish Saldana and others in a similar position did not feel they have to apologize, but Im guessing she understands that not doing so could possibly jeopardize other movie roles. Either that, or she started drinking the full Kool Aid pitcher since 2013. --- ... |

| Topic | 1 million dollars or immortality? |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/05/20 9:47:46 AM #79 | IloveJesus posted... If you can still get cancer, not to mention all manner of other horrific illnesses, the immortality is absolutely worthless. No way. Theres always a risk of some sort, but the upside is too great to pass up. One million dollars is a lot, but thats not even close enough to be considered wealthy and, once again, you cant make more time or buy more of it. You can make more money, though. Even the government gives it away. But, seriously, go ask lots of old people if theyd rather have their youth back and possible immortality, or if theyd prefer money. --- ... |

We literally have people posting here about the rent being much lower in other parts of the country. Thats not even including government assistance for lower income housing. Saying housing should be affordable to all sounds nice, but can mean a wide range of things to different people. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/01/20 6:33:53 PM #65 | CrimsonRage posted... like, i get it, you're lonely. but let me ask you this: is getting a lot of creepy and disturbing attention really better than getting no attention? If you honestly think their situation is so terrible, then ask yourself why there arent more female incels. Since the average woman has the option to sit back and choose from a number of potential suitors, as compared to the options that the average man gets, why arent women creating their own MGTOW? Btw, like I said, switching doesnt mean we think it would be so amazing and positively unbalanced. You get some privileges and you lose some as well. --- ... |

I dont think any student should be forced to physically attend school, which is why a lot will try to do online lessons at home. Now that I think about it, families always had the option to homeschool, as with pre-Covid 19. --- ... |
| Topic | woman ruining her son's wedding |
| Lorenzo_2003 07/31/20 5:09:34 AM #14 | Its terrible, I suppose, but I kind of like it when drama like this happens. Ive been to more weddings than I can remember and usually they end fine, with one or two harmless missteps like the couple forgetting their rehearsed lines or a child running wild in the church. They are fun, but somewhat boring. It was more memorable when someone really acted stupid. Ill never forget the three funerals where fights broke out. You just sit back with the popcorn and laugh. --- ... |

Schools should have some time and space set aside for reps of any career to talk to students about potential employment. A lot of high school seniors are looking for a job, or at least something to do after high school, but dont know whom to talk to or whats even available. This is reality. To make it palatable for the easily offended, the school just has to ensure that it is completely optional for students to participate or not. --- ... |

Ehh, to be fair, The Beatles are around 50 years removed from the peak of their popularity.

| Topic | Anti-fascists linked to zero murders in the US in 25 years |
| Lorenzo_2003 07/28/20 12:35:12 PM #99 | EmbraceOfDeath posted... Interesting that when it benefits Antifa, it's not a real organization and everyone who is anti fascist is Antifa, but when it comes to murders, somehow any murderers who are against fascism don't count as Antifa. I trust The Guardian about as much as Fox News, which is to say they are both biased as hell. For example, they vaguely reference Micah Xavier Johnson, who shot and killed five police officers in 2016, but they dont mention him by name and conveniently dismiss him as part of the so-called anti-fascist movement, even though anti-fascists have consistently and loudly denounced the police. Thats blatantly disingenuous. --- ... |

He reminisces fondly about it on rare occasions, but hes also the first to admit that it was a black hole for his time, focus, energy and money. He spent way more than I did on that series, even though I loved that series too, but I agree it was ultimately fun but a waste of life, practically speaking. Bill Burr has talked about being so into Grand Theft Auto (not sure if it was 3 or San Andreas, maybe) that hed be thinking about it when hed be working or driving around. He gave it up because he knew it was taking him down a rabbit hole. --- ... |
