I'm not sure why you're making a simple question difficult. Do you think black lives matter, yes or no? Can you say black lives matter? If it's complicated, I'm not the one making it complicated, and I don't think this requires further clarification.

It is easy and the answer obvious/easily derived from my previous posts, conduct and more besides. Would almost say the questions are insulting but this is the internet so meh.

Otherwise I am avoiding saying the specific words for reasons already illustrated but 90% because it seems to wind you up for reasons unknown (well I suppose I could speculate and would place good money on me being right) and that was sufficiently amusing for a few posts.



Going for an obscure reference. Going to have to cop to being an actor before long aren't I?

I am not the one who feels the need to avoid saying black lives matter, so I don't think I'm the one with the problem. I suggest thinking about why it matters so much to you that you not say black lives matter.

At least we've figured out the root cause of our disagreements, and we don't have to talk about it anymore.
 
I have no problem.

We could go the nihilistic/cosmic approach detailed above.
Alternatively I don't care to see any lives troubled saving the usual leave others alone caveat, this applies whether tall or short, fat or thin, have blue eyes or otherwise, are more of a cat person or a dog person, are ginger, are young or old, are rich or poor, think tomatoes constitute edible food or are filth, think there is a sky daddy or that chemistry just got a bit uppity around here, or the 1000 more boring than any of those in that they have relatively different levels of melanin to some others.
 
I'm asking if you, Foxi4, think black lives matter. You previously said you don't think any lives matter, but then you said murder is bad, so which is it? If you stop for a second and think about why you can't say black lives matter, you might be able to avoid the consequences of cognitive dissonance.

All anyone should really take note of here is how hard you're trying to avoid saying black lives matter. Nothing else matters.
I'm not going to, and I explained why. It's not my job to entertain your bizarre requests. I'm not going to repeat slogans of a group I disagree with - what I can say is that we're all created equal, which should be satisfactory. The fact that you can't grasp the point behind "no lives matter", the point being a rejection of stupid sloganeering that means nothing in the grand scheme of things, is your problem, not mine.

Still not sure of the purpose.

Would playing your parrot be anything other than a trite but otherwise agreeable/obvious statement along the lines of "being hungry sucks" or, far worse still, potentially being considered as expressing solidarity with a named group with stated goals, leaders/founders and a world view that I find dubious at best?

Anyway bored of that one now.

So some do nothing/feel good statements on gun control were uttered


Apparently this was a thing he was running on. Is this a good thing, bad thing, good in intent but poor in execution?
Remember, adding a shoulder brace to a pistol totally changes it into a rifle, even though the length of the barrel, the caliber, any of its critical characteristics or even the sights are completely unaffected by the "modification".
 
It seems Biden is ready to power grab and add more justices

While we're on the subject, just stopped by to say: Black lives matter!

Just like to point out:

Perhaps ALL lives are important? Or is that racist to not single out an entire spectrum of people based on the tone of their skin color?

Good, we don't need justices with stolen seats unilaterally sending this country back to the 1950s in terms of voting rights and civil rights. Assuming we aren't going to be adding more major political parties any time soon, the Supreme Court has to remain semi-balanced, or we end up with idiots telling us that "corporations are people too."

stolen seat? imao when they die the party with the votes gets to put someone nobody stole anything
 
You're definitely acting like you got a problem @Lacius. Who hurt you?
I can say black lives matter, and I asked if others could also say that. I'm not sure how that makes me the one with the problem.

TLDR for anyone reading this is these two gentlemen wanting to argue about race in the United States can't say black lives matter. I don't think I need to say anything else.

I don't think anybody condones the murder of a child (well, Foxi4 might, depending on how you're using words like "matter" and whether he's feeling particularly nihilistic). Her life, assuming this story is true, mattered. Can you say black lives matter?

Merrick Garland was never given a hearing after that fat fuck Scalia keeled over. The seat that Neil Gorsuch sits in was a stolen one. And the other two justices Trump appointed aren't even qualified to be McDonald's fry cooks.

Clearly you don't know how this game works. You have to say "Simon Says", otherwise nobody repeats after you.

It's not a good thing that you have to be playing a game of Simon Says to say you think black lives matter.

this! I have a particular distain for him (more than any other right wing nut/ trump supporter i met) how he became a mod is beyond me but i guess those in a seat of power tend to show their true colors especially if there is 0 repercussions for that said person

Both Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh have long careers in the legal system and are more than qualified. Barrett was literally a constitutional law professor while Kavanaugh worked in the legal system for nearly 30 years before taking the seat.

Barrett is a religious cultist/nutjob, and Kavanaugh has a severe drinking problem. They both belong in rehab, not on the Supreme Court.

If you're going to complain about someone having a difference of opinion in regards to politics, at least send some hate mail my way - I love those. As a side note, we've never "met" - you literally don't know me.
