By Laboured Go To PostYou should get rid of your military. There's fuck all worth defending anymore.Not to mention what was the last war we won, the civil war? I’m sure most military heads consider that a loss so then you gotta go back to the american revolution
abroad, pmc is some shit. lol
on the border - making it so that the commander in chief has direct say over everything through the military and NOT these other agencies.... okay. yeah. great stuff. matter of fact go ahead and abolish ice. we already go the national guard and reserves getting called up to deal with state specific drug problems.
lets see how it goes.

like dude are you able to post without it being 99% bullshit
maybe in your head this is clear but you're jumping all over the place. why are you talking about hunter? you get something objectively wrong (why don't they protest the policymakers!) and instead of pausing for a moment to say hey, let me rethink, or be more careful in how I use language, you fly off into talking about dreamers and rehab clinics or whatever. You need a phd in literature to parse that shit.

running up on random congressman x with ice in your crosshairs does what? they don't even know where to start outside of a hashtag
ICE is a new agency, purportedly doing abusive things, perhaps rogue in doing so, with questionable oversight. Abolishing or vastly reforming it doesn't seem overly egregious of an ask.
And you said protest the policy makers, and they're in the halls of Congress doing that. For all we know, they're also inundating their representatives with phone calls, and I hope they're all registered to vote (for the love of god).

trying to understand if this is one of those occupy wallstreet type of things or a genuine "congress can fix this they just don't know they're supposed to" deals
i got into it with fender ages ago, but running to the same people that represent you who habitually compromise towards the right instead of their base is what dug america's hole deeper. you want to actively protest something? stop giving them the momentum they need to enact more backstabbing and get your tea party of the left created.
nearly every time people run to capitol hill begging for overnight change to something they believe is a quick fix it leads to shit getting worse across the board.

By Laboured Go To PostWhat should we do?a few others were saying it ages ago but people need to acknowledge the cycle of giving powers away or further empowering (in all its forms) government control as well as how it happens. its one thing to ask for more money towards a solution but its an entirely different process, a long process, to achieve an overhaul or a systemic failure.
the shortcuts to rectifying systemic failures (prison reform, foreign policy lolz, personal information securities, whatever bubble is about to doom us all, etc) always end with everyone losing. but to actually shift gears and get away from this as a whole thing? stop playing the game and stay on these old fucks' necks at a local and state level because those foundations are what props them up for decades at a time. even immigration isn't a solely federal umbrella - border states have the authority to call plenty of shots. but when you ask for the federal hammer to come down all the time, not only do you splash everything but you further centralize power there
still its just absurd to pretend that most of these things appear out of nowhere
when shit hits the fan on housing i'm not trying to see people run up to capitol hill and beg for an EO regarding who can live where...

I feel like (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that you feel like the main panacea here is greater democratic engagement from the demographics that vehemently disagree with a lot of shit that's going on with America. But with district line gerrymandering, voter ID controls and lots of old people that should go in my incinerator because they're an obstacle to progress don't you think that's a long game too far?
I think causing disturbances to force people to "acknowledge the cycle of giving powers away or further empowering (in all its forms) government control as well as how it happens" is what he wants.
People are doing that now, but at the results of the power shift, and not the power shift itself.
Correct me if I'm interpreting you incorrectly, Dy.

So the shooter basically harrassed women, newspaper called him out, then he sued for defamation and lost and then he killed them.

"If you're on Facebook, you've probably gotten a friend request or message from an old high school classmate you didn't quite remember. "For one woman, that experience turned into a yearlong nightmare. "Out of the blue, Jarrod Ramos wrote and thanked her for being the only person ever to say hello or be nice to him in school. "She didn't remember him, so he sent pictures. She Googled him, found a yearbook picture and realized they apparently did go to Arundel High together. — Unreported Opinion — "He was having some problems, so she wrote back and tried to help, suggesting a counseling center. "'I just thought I was being friendly,' she said. "That sparked months of emails in which Ramos alternately asked for help, called her vulgar names and told her to kill herself. He emailed her company and tried to get her fired. "She stopped writing back and told him to stop, but he continued. When she blocked him from seeing her Facebook page, he found things she wrote on other people's pages and taunted her with it, attaching screenshots of the postings to some of his emails. "She called police, and for months he stopped. But then he started again, nastier than ever. "All this without having seen her in person since high school. They never met until they came to court a couple of months ago. "Last week, Ramos, a 31-year-old federal employee, pleaded guilty in District Court to a misdemeanor harassment charge. "Judge Jonas Legum, who called his behavior 'rather bizarre,' suspended a 90- day jail sentence and placed him on probation, ordering him to continue in therapy and not contact the victim or her family in any way. "The case is extreme. But it provides a frightening look at the false intimacy the Internet can offer and the venom that can hide behind a computer screen. "'I read about this all the time, where Facebook conversations, email conversations, start out fine and then take a turn where they become nastier over the course of time,' said Ramos' lawyer, Christopher Drewniak, 'And this is apparently one of those situations.' "The victim, who asked that her name not be printed, said she lived in fear for her safety for months. -2- — Unreported Opinion — "The emails started in late 2009 or early 2010 – she can't remember exactly, because it was only a few months later that they grew disturbing and she started documenting things. "At first, she felt bad for him, so she shared some personal information and offered advice. "'But when it seemed to me that it was turning into something that gave me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, that he seems to think there's some sort of relationship here that does not exist ... I tried to slowly back away from it, and he just started getting angry and vulgar to the point I had to tell him to stop,' she told the judge. "'And he was not OK with that. He would send me things and basically tell me, "You're going to need restraining order now." "You can't make me stop. I know all these things about you." "I'm going to tell everyone about your life." "An email in April 2010 said, 'Have another drink and go hang yourself, you cowardly little lush. Don't contact you again? I don't give a (expletive). (Expletive) you.' "Later that month, the woman was suddenly put on probation at the bank where she worked. She said a supervisor told her it was because of an email from Ramos and a follow-up phone call in which he advised them to fire her. "She said she was laid off in September and believes, but can't prove, it was because of Ramos. She's since gotten another job. "When she learned what Ramos had done, she called police. He stopped contacting her for a while and started counseling in November. Still, the silence was not comforting. "'That just left me to feel like he was stewing,' she said. 'For all the time he was silent, he's collecting things about me. And then comes back at me, like, 10 times worse than he had before.' "The messages resumed in January, referring to friends' Facebook profiles and postings about her and about Ramos himself. -3- — Unreported Opinion — "His messages rambled, calling her 'a bipolar drunkard leading a double life' and saying 'Expletive you, leave me alone' though she hadn't written him in months. He told her she was afraid to let a man get close to her and discussed her family, friends, job and Rotary Club involvement – all information gleaned from the Internet. "In January, the victim went to court to get a peace order and file charges. Finally, he stopped for good. Ramos, a tall, thin man with long hair he wears in a ponytail, did not speak at the hearing and did not return a call for comment left with his attorney. "He has a degree in computer engineering and has worked for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for six years, Drewniak said. He had no previous criminal record. "Detective Rob Cremen, who handles domestic violence cases in the county police Southern District, said sustained harassment like this is rare. "Facebook and networks like it offer the chance to reconnect with old friends. But they also can invite unwanted attention. Many people don't realize how much information about them is on social networking sites and elsewhere on the web. "'It's kind of a double-edged sword,' Cremen said."
Ah, men are pretty good.
I mean dy and I have had whole pages dedicated to the issue of domestic violence and how it's part and parcel to much of America's shootings mass or not.

By Random Ass Username Go To PostI'll never understand people who jerk off Sam Harris or Bill Maher.What do you expect from people who Ive seen discussing about completely cutting out conservative relatives, even parents out of their lives.

I didn’t talk to my dad for awhile. would have never spoken to him again if it wasn’t for my girlfriend who came into the picture a few months later. I only did it so her daughter could have something resembling grandparents since her current ones were either dead or fucking useless
Conservatives are a cancer and I don’t see why sh
I actually understand cutting fam off. Had fam that had to do it before. Not pretty but it happens. Short version, my relative would no longer associate with racist abusive pricks.
What I don't get is the continued idea that their anti-muslim rhetoric is just "critical thinking" and not routinely eschewing any fucked up imperialism that has cultivated such fundamentalism in regions that keep getting destabilized in one way or another. It's peak intellectual dishonesty to me.

Yes. It is that bad. More than a couple of my friends had to cut fam off precisely because they were so homophobic they disowned them first or attempted to send them to pray the gay away camps or just generally act like repugnant shits about who they are and love.
By Lunatic Go To PostCutting off relatives over political party eh. Fucking hell is the States is really that bad?If you disagree about the value of various types of human lives, shit can happen.
By DY_nasty Go To Posti've also had the "tell me why i can't rape my wife" argumentMy mom stopped talking to her cousins because they were genuinely racist abusive ass people but the icing was one of them asking for a VCR back they gave her mom after her mom's funeral. Class fucking act those people.
Of course cutting out some unhealthy ones are fine, I've done it to a few myself. It's completely shutting out all conservative relatives that I can't understand.
By Kibner Go To PostI've cut out family from my life for being asshats. No regrets.
Probably one of the best things you can do. People think they owe family something even if they're huge cunts, and that association keeps them poisoning your life far longer than some random you know who's also a cunt and would have cut off immediately.

Marco Rubio is not having a good day in the Twittersphere
A Capital-Gazette reporter said "I don't give a fuck about your thoughts and prayers" in an interview. Marco is getting roasted for focusing on the "fuck" instead of the fucking shooting or any of the other bullshit happening right now.
He's even catching it from fellow Congressmen.
