Dead or Alive, You're coming with me

#7 Is this a list? are you just numbering the sentences by the end? This makes no sense by the end.

That's right out of Chappelle and Wayne Brady.

So the basic premise goes like this if I follow.

If you are white and succeed it's because you had advantages, and if you don't it's because you're trash

If you are black and succeed it's was in spite of the hurdles in front of you, good on you. If you don't succeed it's because of the hurdles.

Traditionally it was lower class whites and blacks, whites their because they failed and blacks there due to systemic racism.

With actions like this, to start to remove that system.... I wonder what the subset of blacks that fail to succeed will do when they realize it was them just being trash the whole time?

My favorite vacation place is a hidden gem, made lovely by the few people there. I will keep my mouth shut on this one.

What about a pepsi flavored peep... would it look like black face peeps?

I thought you were smarter than that Donner. I thought you realized open borders means as in border policy. Not border lock down.

I found a lot of links that debunk Kamala calling him a rapist.

However. Snopes does confirm that of his accusers of inappropriate touching, she did say she believes them.

There is a certain humor to seeing an entity in liberal California requiring people to prove their residency before being allowed into their theme park. While the same people are for open borders into the country.

What about undocumented Californians?

Also to the specific comment:

"So that's why it sounds to me like you're okay with the line on who gets to vote being drawn."

No, my conclusion is that while it exists, it is unknowable. I believe that anyone that tries to define it, will fail and improperly exclude people.

All I can say is exactly... however that works? It doesn't. I know damn well there are some people out there that have such whacked out beliefs that no one wants to touch them. But any thought I've ever put in trying to describe a way that would exclude them and only them from voting would end up excluding people, who while possibly extreme in their views, who should absolutely be allowed to vote.

So we are stuck with an imperfect system, but it's the best one we know.

Instead I've found myself self editing and hoping others might do the same. That is, if I know a question on the ballot is a hot issue for both sides, and I am not fully up to speed on the issue I will pass over voting on it. I consider it unfair to either side who has gotten themselves educated on the issue, and feel strongly one way or the other. It's not often, but I have done it.

You're providing operational cover for disenfranchising people.

By saying I think there are some dangerously dumb people but there is no way to draw any sort of line on who can vote, therefore we are stuck with what we have, I'm providing operational cover?

If you are incapable of discussing, never mind acknowledging, the reality that on a normal curve of informed voters the leftmost 2.5% might just be better off not being allowed to participate.... Well, I just got a bit more of an inkling of where that line might be drawn.

And speak, I never said or inferred that the line is anywhere near someone who has differing political view to mine. I believe it was pretty obvious I was referring to people who not only don't know the issues, but are unable to comprehend the issues. Certainly never those who just disagree.

Notice I also said I don't know what the line should be. So like speak said; With no way to really "screen" a voter, the guy drinking cough medicine in the cat food aisle of walmart who wants to tell you his theory on Lizard men supplying the Jews with space lazers while you're trying to figure out which is the better deal on Friskies gets to vote too.

I didn't say I knew all the people/types, but we've all had a conversation with someone and walked away thinking "god I hope that person doesn't vote".

Insert the person, and why you thought it here.

I fully agree that everyone has the right to vote.
I also fully agree that not everyone should vote.
I have no idea what the line is.
I do however know, much like pornography, you know who shouldn't vote when you meet(see) them.

What's truly hilarious to read, are posters like Gracie who suddenly care now that Trump is no longer the President.

What's truly hilarious to read, are posters like who suddenly don't care now that Biden is the President.

Looking at the official facts of the case. The police had a no knock warrant for multiple locations, when one was executed at one location, and the main suspect was found. The warrant for her apartment was verbally instructed to do with announcement.

The police knocked and announced. Then forced entry, where fired upon and returned fire, hitting Breonna Taylor with the return fire in her hallway.

Yav, you sound like you've done other research that would say those aren't the facts. What are they as you know them?

#6 first run looney tunes were often before movies for adults, and had jokes for the adults like a lot of shows do today. It wasn't necessarily for the kids

She probably thinks the whole thing is stupid, but is too afraid to say so and have the cancel crowd turn on her.

#9 - retarded take of the day

What I find amusing about this is we are going to change our way of addressing each other when the the vast majority of us speaking to each other expect to hear the current way of speaking. The people this is aimed at trying to make feel more included, imho and in today's world of identity politics, enjoy the status of woke, put upon other. There seems to be an odd capital that is granted in todays society to these groups. Granted in all that mix there are kids who feel like an outsider and if this helps them, great. I just wonder how many that really is.

Ultimately this isn't aimed at me in any way, so I'll go along to get along... just thinking out loud.

"I feel like they never gave my son an opportunity"

Did they double down and provide a better safety net? no
Did they make sure he didn't shuffle through the system, no
Did they make sure the parents were aware, no

Did they give him an opportunity, Yes.
