He will just keep pushing conspiracy theories that can be debunked in a matter of seconds. His "fight" against Google is going nowhere.

It's hard to blame him when he's already the subject of the biggest conspiracy theory in modern history.

It isn't, he's complaining about facts I don't like while watching a network feeding him facts I don't like he agrees with and then spreads his facts I don't like even more on twitter.

She's a really poor choice for that.

I've done some research...she still looks pretty good. She is an D list porn star...among porn stars though. She needs to do more porn and less talking. No one is paying to hear her talk...

Now if you want to debate porn stars...well that can be done. I'll get out an Excel spreadsheet. Punch in some IF functions. Then we shall see who truly is Queen of the ***.

These 6 Countries Produced Half of World's Gun Deaths
The US is in second place for total gun deaths


Quote:
1, Brazil, 43,200
2, United States, 37,200

Are we going to let BRAZIL beat us?

Quick, run out and kill someone but make sure you use a gun.

After all, guns don't kill people, people kill people. So get busy people.

I mean do you know how many years "monkey business" or "monkey it up" has been used in reference to something other than a racial slur?
Idk how many years it was used like that... idk how many years black people have been referred to as apes in a negative way either other than both were around at least as long as I’ve been on this earth... I don’t get your point though... there a plenty of words or phrases in the English language that have changed to incorporate new meanings or uses... i remember my grandpa being pretty angry about homosexuals taking over the word gay in that it used to primarily be used to explain some kind of happiness and now it’s mainly used to say that some one is homosexual or now even just as a general insult...

So you’ll just double down on this? You’re failing to even recognize the word has been in a negative context before... it’s like you’re putting blinders on and trying to ignore the fact it could be used in any context or meaning than what you’ll provide here... most people in here, including myself, agree with you on the fact that what this man said was pretty innocuous but you seem to still think the only way to combat this is to just deny it could ever be used in a way some accuse it to have been used in this situation...
So what? *** your offended pearl clutching. People have an obligation to civility to make some kind of contextual effort in conversation. And if you don’t think that standard should be applied to black people then that makes YOU the racist.

Wow this is actually poetic. I didn’t call you racist. I presented a you a logical conclusion to an interpretation you may or may not have. This is specifically denoted by the word “if”. You incorrectly interpreted what I wrote JUST LIKE THE MEDIA DID WITH “MONKEY IT UP”.

Because you made an error by not being open to a different interpretation does not mean I screwed up by not anticipating the possibility of your error.

I once knew a guy who simply called his son "boy". That also resulted in some unintended societal misunderstandings.

How exactly was I not open to a different interpretation? I agreed with you that his statement seemed innocuous... the disagreement we had on this was that monkey could actually be used in a racist context... not that it was used as such in this situation... so yeah....

You can be offended by anything if you look deep enough. Hell, I don't think there's a single term that has not been used in some derogatory way over the years. If you want to be offended you will find a way I guess.

The FBI is already in a world of ***. It came out that they were deliberately "leaking" news to media outlets then using those media outlet reports as evidence to get FISA warrants. This apparently is a standard practice for them to get warrants when they would otherwise not have sufficient evidence for. That's unethical and most likely illegal, it was also done to Candidate Trump and how this whole thing started in the first place.

As things stand right now there is more then sufficient evidence to shut down the FBI investigation and remove the majority of the senior FBI leadership. The whole Clinton email scandal just shows up biased they were before towards the Democrats.

You keep defending this *** notion that the guy should have known not to say something that could offend anyone. That gives legitimacy to the offended.

They don’t deserve legitimacy, their offense is irrational.
