Yes I did go to town with my supposed "straw man", however, if you re read it with an open mind, one that has not already decided the given opinion before the first read word...you will see there is substance there.

It was a direct answer to your attack out of no where.

The kneeling nonsense is over injustices to black people, yes it has some to do with police, but they are speaking of all injustices...an all encompassing Boogeyman. As Morgan Freeman says "Just an excuse not to get there"..

As for this

Quote
What losers are you talking about? Who just wants to be cool/heroic? Who needs a reach around? What are they disagreeing about? Who is calling them a white supremacist, Uncle Tom, or undeducated for disagreeing about whatever it is they are disagreeing about?

The losers I refer to, people who force all their failings/laziness blame on others rather it be a race or a more direct approach...then not only that, want free shit, a heads up etc from those people because of said false premise. These are losers to me, and to most anyone who fights their way through life themselves without excuse, rich or poor, would typically agree with this.

As for who is calling what....just look at the Twitter Fred's from such groups, or any mainstream news channel. They will use such rhetoric and exact words I stated on Twitter, but not on MSM...there they will be more PC, however, they will still say the same thing. Or accuse them of being a traitor to their race etc.

Black men and women, I feel for them when they have the courage to fight against such groups/actions...they get the same blanket bullshit name callings as those who voted for Trump are racist/white supremacist/uneducated etc etc..

In my world, when someone who has done more than me and is further down the line than I am, I will listen to their words. If the white race had the same problems as the black race (percentage wise), and a white man went on TV who beat those problems and became successful/positive attribute to society..I am gonna listen and learn...I would want to try and do what he did...

That is if I really wanted that...not just to draw attention to myself, act a fool, destroy things and get free shit...walk through life with no accountability or responsibility.

Oh, also, as for the reach around part...that is easy...look at these people being vocal and joining the "cause"...it is all about them, it boosts their ego, makes them "loved" etc etc etc....it's easy for anyone really looking to see their true motivation... Like the idiots I would see when I was in Houston come just to take selfies, post it on their Facebook and Twitter, have their backs patted, then they don't do shit and leave after a day when it gets a little uncomfortable

Yes, the hypothetical person you are describing sounds pretty bad. I still don't know who you are talking about specifically though.

You seem determined to search for the most unreasonable or idiotic participants of any given movement/protest, and then use them as an excuse to dismiss the entire movement/protest. Didn't you recently express your annoyance that people were judging all Trump supporters by the most heinous of his white supremacist supporters?

If you just want to rant about entitled idiots, then by all means, do so. I don't like entitled idiots either. Most people don't like entitled idiots. But perhaps you should be a bit more precise with your vitriol. Change your garden hose from "spread" to "stream".

Edit: I just want to clarify that that last statement was in no way intended to be a penis metaphor.

This is the problem, these people are given the lime light by the MSM...they then OK this, and make it acceptable. This molds people, as the majority do not take the time to think for themselves and are easily manipulated. Not just for this subject, for almost all subjects.

Do you see why I have such issue with the MSM??

A small group of idiot's ideas can spread like a literal wild fire...turning millions into these morons...then those idiots will breed idiots, then after 20 years, we will have a nation full of idiots, silencing the voices of the minority that are not said idiots...

Surely you can see the severity of the situation?

I have only watched a small amount of coverage of the kneel/stand thing. All of it I have seen has focused on respect (or lack thereof) for the flag/anthem, solidarity among teammates, Trump calling people SOB's, and police brutality/reform. I haven't seen anyone mention entitlements.

Again, maybe I just don't watch enough "MSM"...

Perhaps, but it's also a symbol. Clearly a concept lost on you.

But you would think, a countries flag (or any patriotic memorabilia) should be made in the country and not anywhere else.

Hell, China even makes other countries military uniforms. Great thinking governments!!! Save a few dollars but give away all your secrets, tech and R&D!

The meaning of what liberal means has totally changed from what I remember it. I would class the people who voted for Trump more liberal than those that were protesting 'Not My President!' I think its the 'Neo-liberals' that have forgotten what 'liberal' means

That's pretty much what I'm saying. You can be a right leaning anarchist, and you can be a left leaning anarchist. Neither side of the political spectrum automatically makes you an authoritarian (sp?).

Eh, not really. Liberal and libertarian are generally similar regarding individual freedoms. They generally differ when it comes to corporate freedom. Libertarians generally want small government with few regulations against individuals or corporations. Liberals generally want the government to have more powers to protect individuals from corporate interests, which is where the socialist tendencies come in.

Of course there are probably as many definitions of "liberal" as people to ask.

What do our American Friends on the forum, think about the Trump Administration response to Puerto Rico disaster.

https://s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?e=cmF5QGV0aGVpcmEubmV0&s=59cb301ffe1ff635a7640ca9

Quote
“After one hundred years of citizenship, Puerto Ricans are prohibited from managing their own economy, negotiating their own trade relations, or setting their own consumer prices,” wrote Nelson Denis, author of “War Against All Puerto Ricans,” in an essay earlier this year. “Puerto Rico has been little more than a profit center for the United States: first as a naval coaling station, then as a sugar empire, a cheap labor supply, a tax haven, a captive market, and now as a municipal bond debtor and target for privatization. It is an island of beggars and billionaires: fought over by lawyers, bossed by absentee landlords, and clerked by politicians.”

Colonial neglect indeed.

In Texas and Florida trucks could get in relatively quick.

Trump being 'Trump' will not hinder rescue and recovery efforts.

It's not on TV news much because, frankly, it doesn't sell Doritos ads.

I don't know anyone there, so I don't have a good grasp on the situation.

Trump's comments are as revolting as ever. No surprise there. Is this seriously the time to nag them about debt and infrastructure?

Yeah OK, sometimes I post in there so much it spills over lol.

If the Puerto Ricans feel left out and forgotten maybe they should look back at what happened with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans - and that was a US mainland
http://www.irgc.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Hurricane_Katrina_full_case_study_web.pdf

Perhaps they should just accept the reality that being on a little island makes it logistically more difficult and time consuming to get to and fix. And no amount of effort or money will undo the damage done in a couple of days. But I guess Trump in the hot seat and the race card is an easy play.

Perhaps, but it's also a symbol. Clearly a concept lost on you.
Be careful not to confuse the symbol with what that symbol represents, lest the flag become more important than the country that it represents.

Never forget that the US is a country born of protests.  Protesting injustice is just about as patriotic as you can get.
