      Welp Joe Biden messed this up horrendously. Military officials along with Biden should be impeached.

    • RE: Chapter 1,023: Spitting Image

      As one piece fans, we are still discussing the importance/lack thereof with bounties; when the story already said they can be used as a measurement of power and threat level in other means?

      Come on.

    • RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread

      @KzTxL7:

      Oh yeah.

      That's why people are going out. Because only ONE MAN got killed. It totally has nothing to do with the many, and I mean MANY, more people who have been killed in terrible ways with no repercussion by those meant to protect. Or a justice system with treats those of certain skin colors or ethnicities unfairly for those factors alone.

      Nothing to do with that. ONLY because of one man.

      A few don't mean systematic. That's called exaggeration.

      @RoboBlue:

      Why are you defending a cop with a history of brutal attacks on minorities who's well on his way to being charged with first degree murder after he strangled a black man with his knee?

      Just admit to yourself that the guy was probably a racist and move on with your life.
      This is a horrible hill to die on.

      This video:

      …and these reactions prove that yes, the police are systemically out to get everyone who inconveniences or offends them.

      A cop pushing an old man in this instance does not prove the police has been systematically targeting the people of the USA.
      That's just bias ballooning by you.

      And why can't you read properly? No where was I defending that evil cop. I simply asked where is the proof of racism behind the murder?

      See that. A certain group is talking about the system being against them. Yet it seems they are the ones against the system.
      @Nobodyman:

      You're not taking demographics into account. Black people make up about 13% of the US population, so, if police really were colorblind, they should make up about 13% of all people killed by cops. But if I had to guess, and I'm being generous here, it's probably closer to 25-30%. So, in other words, black people are twice as likely to be killed by police than white people.

      That's cause you aren't taking into account that despite the fact that Blacks make up less of the population. They still do more crime [or equal] compared to the other groups.

      @Nobodyman:

      Right, but do you see what I'm getting at? It's not always about the number of lives, ethics and principles also play a part. If we sit back and do nothing, just because we're afraid of getting sick, then we're essentially forsaking the victims of police brutality. We basically would be saying "Sorry, but my health is more important than the fact that police are systemically brutally beating people to death."

      It's not the same. Because you asked to murder someone to get the organs for the other lives.
      People going out and willingly spreading covid 19 [to possibly murder others] because one man got killed by a separate incident is incompatible with your example.

      @Nobodyman:

      You are living in a fantasy world or are otherwise grotesquely uninformed if you think the US police don't have a problem with racism.

      Cops killed more unarmed whites than blacks last year. Even black cops kill black men.
      @The:

      You believe people protesting blatant murder and systematic police brutality is the downfall of western civilization? Have you watched how the police responded to the peaceful protests? I'm not talking about the rioters and looters, but the people marching. The police are attacking peaceful protestors, journalists, and legal observers. If anything about this situation is a threat to western civilization, it's the police's ability to attack and supress peaceful protests with impunity, not the people demonstrating against being murdered.

      The protesters being attacked by the police and the protesters being hostile/rebellious is iffy.
      They are usually mixed in with the peaceful protests. Normally when the water is poisoned it's time to throw it all out. Peaceful along with the violent.
      However, these protesters put themselves in that situation cause they are marching against fabricated popular think.
      That the system/police is against certain people. Which I still ask, where's the proof? They are marching on air.

      @The:

      There's an ad on youtube proclaiming that the protests are somehow causing the downfall of western civilization. I feel like conservatives and the alt right are truly living in a bizarro alternate reality.

      I believe it. These protests are outraged on a false narrative anyway.
      Where is the proof that one cop murdering another man [it was outright murder] has to do with racism?
      The fabrication that the "police is systematically out to get everyone" isn't substantial either.

      Society is screaming over mosquitoes while ignoring elephants in the room.

      @Monkey:

      Just your daily reminder that libertarians are the dumbest people on the entire political spectrum, and not even the right wing cares about that shit anymore.

      Wholeheartedly agree. Can you expand more on your statement?

      @Pachylad:

      Money didn't do jack shit for Breonna Taylor, George FLoyd and countless other victims of police brutality, propped up by a broken system (of militarisation, 'qualified immunity' BS, crooked police unions that look more like gangs that protect their own than actually doing any protecting and serving, etc.)

      Well those separate incidents happen from the authorities but they are not systematic.
      @Nobodyman:

      Really? Okay, then how about this:

      You have four sick patients. One needs a heart transplant, one a liver transplant, one a kidney transplant, one a lung transplant. If they don't get these transplants, they're going to die. You discover there is a perfectly healthy person who is compatible with all four of them. Are you then justified in harvesting that person's organs so that the four sick people may live? I mean, why not? After all, it's a net gain in human lives. This way only one person has to die instead of four.

      No because that person didn't give permission to harvest his organs to save lives. You would have to find some other means.
      @Louis-1988:

      Just don't participate in the protests then. That's what I'm doing. I've already resolved with myself that I'm going to practice social distancing and mask/glove/goggle wearing while in public until a vaccine is available regardless of whatever the CDC or WHO says. Let the people who want to risk themselves exercise their rights and do so. You just do you if you don't agree that it's the smart thing to do, but you can't impose your feelings on others and expect them to act accordingly.

      I'm not trying to impose. I don't/won't to practice in these straw man protests.
      I'm just showing the hypocrisy of the states. Allowing these things to take place.
      Yet so butthrut over things like letting people go to Church freely without heavy restrictions. lololol

      @Nobodyman:

      Again, this isn't black and white. Sometimes it's not about the number of human lives, it's about principle.

      No it's always black and white. Human life is the principle. Not going out and putting those lives at risk violates that principle.
