Do you think reality is, perhaps, much more complicated than "both sides have despicable people"? Is it possible that "both sides" are not in fact exactly the same?
Yes I do think it is much more complicated than both sides are the same. I never said they were the same. But don't you think that spending all your time trying to show how a given side is ZOMG way worse than the other misses the point (the point being, what the F do we DO about it?).

Don't disagree. But then how do you explain the highest recorded # of hate crimes occurring in 1999 when Clinton was in office? That is really the point...there is much more to it than the political leanings of who is in power.

You literally said "can't we all just agree that there are despicable people on both sides and be done".

You cannot talk about "what the f do we do about it" when that is your starting point. You do not seek an honest appraisal of the situation to begin with, how do you think you're going to come up with any kind of solution?

I think we should vote for the lesser of two evils? Definitely don't vote for the ZOMG way worse side.

Glad the Smollett story is eating like half the media bandwidth, it’s now a bigger story than if he had actually been attacked. GJGE

Smollett should be sent away just for giving the ****bags ammo. Another nonstory dominates the media while actual news is relegated to the back burner. Distract and divide. Sad!

Another funny thing about this is that Jussie Smollett will face far worse consequences in his professional career (he'll likely never do anything as big as Empire, which is a low-ish bar to begin with, again) than people like Louis C.K.

Conservatives will nevertheless continue arguing that they are unfairly policed and targeted compared to liberals.

There are like 8 Smollet stories on foxnews.com. Search for 'coast guard' reveals nothing.

Meanwhile CNN is also running with Smollet front and center.

But yeah both sides the same mannnn

Who could imagine that hiring two black guys, paying for the rope and masks and lying to the american public in the national media and police about a false racial, politically and lgb beating would be more professionally damaging than getting consent to jerk of in front of two females in a private hotel room five years earlier? Keep playing that victim card, gb!

Believing that faking a hate crime is worse than sexual assault says a lot about a person's values.
02-22-2019 , 09:48 AM
they dont view it as a fake hate crime. they view it as a hate crime against white ppl and themselves.
02-22-2019 , 10:56 AM
or they think they will more likely be the victim of a false accusation than be the victim of a sexual assault
02-22-2019 , 12:06 PM
Ahhh, the libtard way of arguing: the black gay liar charged with a crime is victimized and the white privileged guy is now exaggerated without proof to be a serial sexual harasser when consent was admitted by the two women.

If you believe one is worse than the other, you are not woke, man. Just not woke. There are no degree or nuance with his superior moral code, its okay unless it was a powerful successful privileged person.

Gb- he didnt mean to equivocate the smirking maga kid and the black Israelite's conduct- that would not fit his narrative. But man, that Eric Weinstein guy Juan mentioned three months ago..... he is the worst!

jman, you are are committing a crime against humanity by deleting this post, so I am resurrecting at least this portion of it.

This is the most beautiful and hilarious description of Louis CK's behavior I have ever seen. Why would you take this from us???
02-22-2019 , 12:37 PM
Lot of deplorables popping their heads up now that the forum has been changed a bit.

Does wil make a comeback soon?
02-22-2019 , 01:05 PM
I feel like we need a wiki for exactly what all these people have admitted, apologized for, or denied.

Or they laughingly said yes, clearly thinking it was a joke but not grasping what was about to happen. CK had decided as long as consent is technically achieved, he was in the clear, so he was gaming his own system.

Obviously the burden here is on the female comedian to take every statement a male comedian says seriously and respond accordingly.

And of course it's only one step from that to "Well they didn't say no fast enough."
