Just a FYI for those praising him for maybe letting the kid win, he's been convicted of domestic abuse of his pregnant girlfriend (at the time) and child, among other legal troubles
If you look up his off the field history you might think differently. You could be right but I wouldn't assume he does anything out of the goodness of his heart
Go for it champ, you problem solver you. I'm sure you'll back up this big talk
I'm one of those people that understands the bigger picture. MAGA now has this as ammo to enrage its base, all for what, a nice fafo moment? As good as it feels to see those moments I would not be surprised if we get more Rittenhouses out of this. Also, there's an extraordinary amount of evidence of nonviolent movements that led to dramatic change, especially domestic issues. It's about labor and organizing, not random street fights that don't amount to shit
This. It's absolutely detrimental to your cause and will only galvanize the other side, regardless of who deserves what. There are zero parties in the right here
Not sure what you're pulling this from. It's a red county. Not deep red but Trump had nearly 8 points on Kamala
Don't need to join in but if you're not going to do anything you try to combat this, keep the doomsday rhetoric to yourself. Hopelessness leads to apathy. You're hurting the cause more than helping. If what protesters do ends up being meaningless at least they can say they tried something. Collective pressure on governments and corporations is our best shot
Smh, my whole point is that it's not for anyone to decide (yes, including myself) except for those affected. I share how I would feel in that scenario to make the point that people value things differently. Clearly people see marriage differently, which is fine. Just don't tell others how they should feel about it, particularly when downplaying significance
No, it is not hypocritical because I'm not saying something is or isn't a betrayal. I'm saying it's not for you to decide, just like it's not mine
Say "the word betrayed is overdramatic" to his wife. Bet she feels differently. It's not for you to decide because you're not personally involved. Just because you don't believe in the sanctity of marriage doesn't mean others don't value it
Not trying to change people's opinions of the religion. Honestly. I know better. I'm trying to get people to avoid generalization. It's dangerous. A lot of Christians deserve the shit that they get, but I've witnessed violence against good, innocent people after walking out of a church service from complete strangers. And you can substitute any religion, happens across the board. There are good Muslims, Budhists, etc that get hurt. This rhetoric doesn't help IMO
First of all, no, hate isn't the basis of Christianity. The original message has been twisted. Again, leaders have abused the Bible to turn it into hate, and yes goes back thousands of years, but the root/core message is essentially love thy neighbor, help the poor, etc. Basically don't be selfish. My biggest problem with your comments is the blanket statements. You use the word "majority" twice, which, even if that's true, still puts an inaccurate and dangerous label on an entire population
You're falling victim to the nut jobs hijacking an entire religion. I don't disagree that a lot of Christians have been misled and are totally delusional, but it's dangerous to put a label on someone who simply identifies as a Christian. Your assumptions very well could be correct about a particular person, but there are liberal Christians who do try to live by what Jesus taught, not what the MAGA pastors and the Joel Osteens of the world spew
It is a joke and the vehicle owner is surely a twat, but not everyone will interpret it as a joke, even with tags and whatnot. My take is that if even one person sees stuff like this, does it and gets shot or whatever, not worth the post. Morons like these are easy enough to make fun of without vandalizing their stuff. Just can't trust that people won't have an over the top reaction nowadays unfortunately
They never even cut Hill, traded him. NFL gave him a slap on the wrist when his most notable assault happened but they try to keep stuff like that as quiet as possible, especially for big stars. Anyone else would still be in jail today but he's fast and can catch a football.
You're not wrong, but that's exactly what the author refers to at the top of the last page. In 100k years this climate crisis will be a relative blip on the radar. Prioritize the "short term" but don't disregard the distant future, no matter how incomprehensible it is to us
That's kinda the point. To me this is advocating for moving towards an unprecedented kind of stewardship that extends beyond future generations of humans
Damn take it easy
Unless this is edited I thought that was pretty quick actually. Dispatchers get tons of bs calls
There better not be any environmental justice warriors upvoting here
I see. I don't even interact with trolls on here. In that case yeah, there's no point
Very uphill battle and mostly futile effort anyways, but I still try.You and I want the same thing, just view how to approach it differently
Is who we send to Congress with our vote. I get it that not everybody is in a realistic position to try to help misguided people. It's a...
I'm kind of coming at it from an individual POV, what we can do ourselves. National strategy wise I feel like all we can influence there...
You don't know anyone personally that's a republican? It's not just an anecdote. Point is some republicans have people who care about them
Do most of these people deserve any shred of dignity? No. But giving up on education? Absolutely f'ing not. I'll die on that hill.
Sorry, now complete
