Ummm...reporting doesn't equal court documents

As much as I don't like the idea of it, I agree with this as a way to fix the problem.

Are you saying most Christians are racist?

I agree...just like when people claim it is racists to require ID's to vote...however, you then turn around do exactly what you claim others do by writing the last sentence.

Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

Hard to understand some of the "logic" on here about immigration. To say "who is going to work the farms?" if we fix our broken immigration system is total speculation and...well...stupid. If we fix what is broken why would it mean that people would stop coming into the US??? And how is fixing the broken system and asking that our boarders be secure "racist"?? Mind boggling that a thing like a secure boarder has become a divisive thing and get's labeled "racist". I think people forget that presidents on both sides of the isle have called for a more secure boarder. When president Obama said it did people call it racist??

Easy question...I have had as much opportunity as my best friend from high school...yet he makes significantly more money than me. Another example...professional athletes...I could never be professional basketball player due to my physical make up.

You know...this was actually a good post. This I can get on board within terms of having a discussion. You are right...I do get a little "squirrely" when people claim "privilege" as a reason people made something of themselves and others who haven't made something of themselves didn't have "privilege". Anyway, I understand the past and how terrible it was for certain groups of people...we should NEVER repeat those times in our history; however, we shouldn't oppress groups of people for oppressing other's in the past. We have done a good job and continue to do a good job to fix the policies that do not promote fairness...but I live by the moto that fair doesn't mean equal either. I also live by the adage that I treat everyone equally and only judge people based on their character....not their skin color, where they were born, who they marry, how much money they have or don't have, or how they identify themselves or dress. Anyway, thanks for posting a non-judgmental/confrontational post...even though mine was. Merry Christmas!

This is a tough one, except for the fact that that guy shouldn't have ever been a police officer. Seems to me that every cop I know or have ever known swears by the moto "To Serve and Protect"...and they do it at all costs...especially when it comes to children.

Wow...you claim others of having a "MO"...you ASSuming things about people is your "MO". Funny part is you "think" you are fighting for the oppressed when in actuality you are doing no one any good with the things you say. Here is a hint, people that are less fortunate than others don't need you making excuses for them. Excuse after excuse. By the way, it isn't a person's fault if they had a good family to fall back on. It isn't anyone's fault if they worked hard to get themselves out of a bad situation. I too was in jross' position when I was younger, almost exactly the same position, a lot of debt and missed payments from extremely high interest rate credit cards and loans (I had no debt history, nor did my family), but I didn't have any of the things you claimed he had, and I was still able to get out of the debt I racked up...how...through working multiple jobs, getting a degree, and learning how to budget with absolutely ZERO help from anyone else. Let's see if you can work in reality and facts instead of pure emotion...who are the "victims still today"? And I ask based on policies in place today, or "systemic actions" that occur today. Please provide actual evidence of this.

Unlike you I answered based on my opinion and what I think, not assuming what other people think.

After all that over-emotional foot stomping and belly aching in the original post....I weep for people who don't know how to think for themselves and only read and listen to the things they want to hear so they can be the victim or make others out to be victims.

I can't believe 3 point takedown hasn't come on here to lecture people about "privilege" yet....

Are you related to Ban?? Wowza LOL

This is why I love Bill Burr....he talks about Trump and liberals and think his take is spot on...the whole clip is great but this part starts about 7:20 min in

Because you use it to insult people, as do others...I think it is stupid and childish...regardless carry on Rasta And I could start most of my posts with LOL as that is usually how I am feeling about what I read on here...and of course I have insulted people on here...never said I hadn't...I find it funny what people try and "use" to insult people...what I say about "MAGA" as an insult, I could say about the term "libtard"...both childish terms...but again, whatever, people keep on keeping on

People literally have lost their s#$% when people wear the red hat....cracked me up that something like that would trigger people to the point of anger/violence.

I kinda laugh when people use the slogan as a way to insult people

LOL..."Trump tried to become a dictator"...man people are coocoo. I can't stand Trump but that is absolutely ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as people who use the term "MAGA" as an insult...especially by those who most of the time are pretty logical posters. Anyway, if Trump is guilty I hope justice is served...if HB is guilty I hope justice is served.

Come on Rasta....that's not what this is about... I...nor Plasi is normalizing anyone who died

Uhhh...say what?? There isn't a correlation to age and the death rate?? Really? If Desantis was SOOO much worse than CA then the numbers, which I provided, would have been drastically different...i.e., the percentage of deaths according to you and Newsome is that FL was SOOO much worse, when in fact they were actually not that far apart based on percentage of old people that died compared to the total death count....~0.05 % difference...if FL's policies where so bad there should have been a significantly higher percentage of older folks that died comparatively, but that isn't the case.

What gives what...weren't we talking about FL and CA?? The point I made still holds true...the data speaks for itself...if Desantis' policies were so terrible the data would have clearly showed that, but it doesn't. The takeaway is that the rona hit the older folks significantly (not even close) worse than those under 50, and in my opinion policies that were a blanketed approach for the whole population was...well...stupid and not needed. And so did Desantis

Your use of the term privilege cracks me up...such a trendy thing to say...anyway, you are essentially wrong for claiming what-about-ism as I have not done that...nice try. But you are right about the point of saying both sides do it and that both sides need to be held accountable. I don't get caught up in if it's an R or a D that is in trouble, the truth and justice is the most important thing...no matter who it is, if they did something wrong they should be held accountable...period....but what people do, is pick sides, not based on what is right or wrong, but rather what letter is after their name from a political perspective. The HB things is s#$# show just like all the other special committee hearings that have happened, whether it was a D, or and R being the one taking the questions. Both sides play the stupid f'ing games and accuse the other of doing the exact same thing they do when it's their turn.

So you don't have proof...got it. Average population of people over 65 by state...Florida ranked 2nd....California ranked 45th... (Which U.S. States Have the Oldest Populations? | PRB)...yes I know I used 2022. Here is the CDC's page where you can look up deaths associated with Covid for all demographics by state. Take away, as once again, the data shows the rona was drastically more impactful to the older population...I mean it's not even close (ex. in FL of the 81,894 deaths, 78,380 were 50 and over, and in CA of the 129,249 deaths, 100,473 were over 50). COVID-19 Provisional Counts - Weekly Updates by Select Demographic and Geographic Characteristics (cdc.gov) And I won't even get into HOW the Covid deaths were counted...that has been hashed out so many times and still can't believe people don't care how they were counted...but ignorance is bliss for some.

I agree with Vak on all this...horrendous.
