Barrett is a religious cultist/nutjob, and Kavanaugh has a severe drinking problem. They both belong in rehab, not on the Supreme Court.
The first statement is debatable, the second could potentially be considered libelous.
 
@Lacius I can say all lives mater: black, white, brown, and every other color you wish to label humans. I can also say mammal lives mater, reptile lives mater, amphibian lives matter, bird lives matter, fish lives matter, insect lives matter, plant life matters. I can even say unborn lives matter. To sum it up... matter matters.

Can you say the same?

i want to know why you want people to say those words
It's not so much I want people to say those words; it's that I'm wondering if you can, since not being able to actually speaks volumes.

To be clear, I don't value all of the lives on your list equally, and I hope you don't either. The life of a frog matters, for example, but I subjectively value a human life many times more than I value that frog's life.

I have never acted any other way in my life. So um, what are you implying?

We all have our parts to play.

Because some people find it hard to say.

All Lives matter

The issue is that racists will say that and then under their breath or in their mind they say "of course I only mean white people, those black people don't matter of course". By being explicit then there is no ambiguity.

You can acknowledge what they have gone through without making it all about you and how you also matter.

I like how we've gotten to a point where the only person in this entire thread posting anything even remotely on-topic is now @Valwinz with his multiple posts drawing attention to the Biden administration and their attempt at dismantling the nation's institutions, including the Supreme Court and the Electoral College, in direct contradiction to previous statements from before the election. Soon enough cats will start sleeping with dogs.
 
@Lacius, so you can say "all living things matter" then, or no?
No, I can't. I see no value, for example, in the life of a Guinea worm, and I'd eradicate them from this planet if I could.

Why do you want them to say it so badly? It's pretty obvious they don't support the movement
I answered this question already. In short, it speaks volumes when a person can't say black lives matter, and it gets us to the root of our disagreement.

The root of the problem is that you're acting like an Internet bully asking people to bend the knee before you, the implication being that if they refuse to do so, they're racists and their opinion, however valid, can be discarded. In life you'll learn that certain people kneel before no one and keep their head up high, high enough to let you swing without any measurable effect. That's neither here nor there though, this weird thought experiment of yours has nothing to do with the Biden administration, the topic of this thread.

Did you ever think some people do not like singling out an entire race, and lumping them all together? Some people are against labeling things, and would prefer to avoid it. Also, instead of asking someone to chant "black lives matter!", which can be viewed as a hate group, why not ask instead to say something like "black lives are important". Seems to me very ignorant anyone you look at it though.

Can anyone here say that they are actually BLM activists, and are actually helping the cause by talking with the local and state officials? If not, then keep your self-rightous bigotry to yourselves.

It's true. @Valwinz has done an excellent job in keeping this thread alive.
 
If jacking off is murder than I'm hitler

The alternative is that your body eats them.

The people who don't want to say black lives matter seem quite happy for police to single them out and kill them. So I don't know if I buy your argument.

Yeah, you learn to avoid those arrogant idiots. Every grown up knows that there are times when you should be humble.
