OT: American Politics

[CH1]

the anger isn't going away any time soon...young people are screwed. Old people get most of the government's spending on social programs.

Well I am sure he thinks he wasn't allowed on the bus due to racism. I mean just because his wallet is much bigger than most people's and plugs in doesn't mean he should be discriminated against. More atrocious behavior by civil servants.

I don't understand why you quoted me on this one. Mistake?

The further they go to the left, the further they resemble those on the far right doing the exact same thing. It's a similar mindset of conspiracy theories and "I really know what's going on". Never seen anything quite like it.

It is the proverbial vicious circle. You go far enough and the two ends meet. Insanity.

Yep. Sorry. Joke still stands.

It's almost like extremes of any ideology are bad...

Are they incapable of understanding the difference between protesters and looters?

their jobs depend on not understanding nuances; or at least pretending not to understand. their customers (voters) are buying a simple, emotional message

 

[hockeylover]

They know the difference. They just don't care.

 

[Habsy]

Well my emotional response is flipping them the bird.
Things have changed since Rodney King, hopefully they change more after this. I realize the change is not fast enough for many however this is how humanity works, it's generational not immediate change.

[hockeylover]

So cowardly to keep saying shit anonymously.

 

[Habsy]

1987 - 1994

And here I thought someone would say 1967.

 

[Habsy]

Yes, he's getting on in age and will die soon.
