Thats true, same for conservatives... in general people are just racist pieces of shit.
Well this video of black conservatives debating white liberals was very interesting and inciteful.
It really was more revealing to me of white liberals than black conservatives (who are more the exeception of the two)... Seeing white liberals getting offended at blacks for not being offended rather than **listening** spoke volumes.. You would think this would be the one scenario they would know not to preach and being a learning moment for them in some way... but no.
That isnt to say i side with the black conservative view, not at all, I thought a lot of it was wrong.. But I do want to understand the view and listen to it...
@freepeoplesfreepress Thank you
Then make the argument "The motivation of these 5 people was shit"... and I would whole heartidly agree with you. You would be fine to argue that their motivations are worthy of contempt for those 5 people.
To blame them for the shutdown, however, is a poor argument, and a different one than the one your making now.
@wedistribute We have had a few of those before... you might want to check them out. I dont recall the topics off hand. Mostly whatever the drama of the week happened to be.
@jrdepriest You can lead a gift horse to water, but you can't look it in the mouth.
That is true..
Doesnt change the fact that any 5 people could have voted for the bill an we wouldnt be at a stand still... So why blame the only 5 republicans who didnt vote for it, and caused a deadlock, and not the 210+ democrats? Seems to me the democrats wanted this deadlock MORE than the republicans, but a pretty large margin.
@TruthSandwich I clicked this in the hopes of seeing a talking website... I was very disappointed to find out it was not, in fact, capable of speaking for itself.
@TruthSandwich ohhhh... oops... my brain has trouble processing stupid sometimes.
@randahl Oh wow they finally implemented a feature that QOTO has had for years, in the same way QOTO implemented it, and when we did it everyone got mad and blocked us... Now everyone has the feature.. oh the irony.
@TruthSandwich I am willing to bet the OP's post is factually driven in the sense that I am willing to bet if you look at the raw data of the people who test positive for COVID there are 3x more democrats.
That said the interpretation is likely wildly wrong, as is the post itself and its conclusion. What is likely happening is the republicans think COVID is either a hoax or not serious so none of them are bothering to get tested. They probably catch it just as often, probably more, but just get tested less.
@josemanuel Sounds like I did exactly what I said I'd do... be polite, address people bluntly, matter of fact, but not rude..
As far as I am concerned I did that.
@xdydx Its not enough to act on yet.. but usually when they start more follow real fast.
@hensys Nice, was just getting into a HAM Radio mindset about to do some hobby stuff myself! Need to clean up a bit first :)
@LouisIngenthron Then yea, unless its like you hit something and it legitimately showed you were irresponsible, that seems like an abuse to me .
@LouisIngenthron Thats fucked up... if you are penalized for making claims, kinda defeats the purpose... were you at fault (according to you not them)?
@LouisIngenthron I have never had an insurance claim I didnt have to fight for... and usually lost...
