I never understood why some people like d00ps romanticise confederate figures? Slave wielding traitors in open rebellion against the union who ultimately get their asses handed to them?

Pathetic.

Robert E Lee was a great man, not a racist at all!

Lincoln was a Republican!

Democrats are the real racists, they owned the slaves!



If you can make those three arguments, as Dopps has, and can't see the logical break... "reason" isn't a thing you possess.

There you go putting words in my mouth.

I've only pointed out how ridiculous it is to tear down statues, and think that it changes history in any way.

I've also pointed out that there are two sides to every story, and can understand why both side may feel passionate about a Statue, for different reasons.

In today's Progressive world view, I'll bet you can find a reason to tear down every Statue in the country, if you looked hard enough.

Same thing with so called sports team "nicknames" and logos.

love that you're finally fed up enough to lash out about the fact that you can't just be a loser every day without being called out on being a loser every day and what you came up with is the monkey.

Complains about having words put in his mouth.

Straw man argument in the very next sentence.



Nobody thinks it changes history, you moron. It's about removing symbols of oppression that were raised well after the fact, when the south wanted to show how little they cared about the whole "treating black people like humans" thing.

Or do you think Germany is just trying to change history by banning nazi symbolism?

also, it's cute that you think the monkey will stop me from pointing out that you're a loser and that you should absolutely kill yourself.

also also, not sure a reminder of a great line like "i didn't know monkeys could tell time" is doing you any favors. although you clearly don't seem terribly interested in looking very intelligent.

It's beyond bizarre to me how the media is reacting to the North Korea situation. Like three other Presidents didn't just jerk themselves off instead of dealing with it in any meaningful way.

I think the problem they have with Trump is that he's playing directly into Kim Jun Twat's hands.

That guy needs an evil america for propaganda purposes, and he's giving it to him. Trump's also painting himself into a corner with the inflammatory speech. He's not going to want to look weak, and so he's not going to want to back-pedal. The US might go to war over the a senile man's ego... Pretty terrifying.

IMO, there isn't really a threat of NK nuking the US. They want to nuke up so they can be part of the mass suicide pact the superpowers agreed to during the cold war. They want to be able to remain sovereign without foreign interference, because they've seen what happened to other regimes that the US decided to get involved with(Saddam, Gaddafi). It's self preservation by some of the worst people on earth. But once they launch a nuke, the threat of launching it is gone - what's done is done, and they'll all be dead - whether or not their nuke even winds up doing any damage.

Edit: And that talk of ending trade with anyone that does business with NK? How's America going to function without trade with China?

Edit2: I don't actually watch the cable networks.... just going off articles/podcast/internet media reactions.

Everything you could expect from a fraternity nearly void of respectability unfortunately. Short memories on the quest for ratings.

Every president has. Either through denial or incompetence. Everybody knows that there has never been a military solution to this crisis that doesn't involve the death of tens of thousands of South Korean's due to the North's conventional weapon arsenal therefore making that outcome unlikely. Since diplomacy will be the only option why let it fester to the point of giving that maniac the ace up his sleeve?

Lots of blame on this one, you won't see that rightful narrative ever portrayed however.
