hey mike? then how come blacks kill other blacks? then they blame the popo on black persecution. maybe if the blacks would stop breaking the law, their lives would matter.
and no black person has ever explained your #BLM 'theory' like that.

Social media, I've no interest spending hours a day going over the mundane things my distant relative or people I knew years ago are doing.
Live streaming, I've no desire to watch other people play games - I want to play them myself.
Why everything J.J. Abrams does is so popular - hell, why were people excited for the new Cloverfield?
Game of Thrones' popularity.
Boba Fett's popularity.

I pretty much agree. while I did watch The Rock a bit in the early 2000's it was mainly because he was funny. outside of that I probably got into it a bit back in the late 1980's or something like that when I was a kid (I was born late 1979) with Hulk Hogan etc but outside of these two examples it seems largely pointless especially given it's supposedly high popularity and we all know it's staged which makes it less appealing. so it's almost like you have to get more into the acting/character they portray more than the actual 'wrestling' itself. koskiewicz Agreed. it's like some people are soooo addicted to their phones/Facebook and the like that common sense goes out the window, especially in case of driving a car they should not be texting, PERIOD, because it simply requires too much of your brains attention to where your basically paying very little to no attention on the road. it's like these people are asking to get into a car accident. ellynmacg I completely agree. Well at the end of the day... it's not their child to raise. they can't be expected to do everything. either way, a child being born is ALWAYS better than ending her/his life through abortion. twothousandonemark Agreed. someguy I see your point here. but I think for the most part ones views are generally more inline with one side than the other and they pretty much stick with them. because whether someone is a liberal or conservative... there likely will be some disagreement on some issues of those on the same side. but I think for the most part one is likely either mostly liberal or conservative and they pretty much stick with it. 100% agree. it's mostly the females that obsess over how something 'looks' where as us guys are more about actual use of a item we buy. that's why I just never understand their obsession over diamonds/purses/shoes etc. because at least with us guys if we go for a higher priced item it's because it's actually a higher quality product unlike those 'designer' things which, while might be better than some really low end clothing, is mostly the same-ish as some okay priced clothing but the price on the designer clothing is insanely inflated. but people who do this I would avoid like the plague. azzajones Agreed. it's very overrated. I stopped watching it after Season 4. The Sopranos is by far HBO's best show and sadly this was overtaken as HBO's most viewed show by Game of Thrones. but funny thing is... they say The Sopranos is still watched by many even to this day which they say is surprising given the shows age. so that makes The Sopranos look pretty good as will Game of Thrones be able to pull that off in nearly 20 years from now(?). |

why there isn't a rule: whoever was using the phone and then an accident happens is automatically at fault. even and especially the pedestrians.
parents who have no idea they are walking with their children [and young children at that] in an urban setting and their children are not by their side. I had to stop and watch a toddler -- like less than 3 years old, just walk along the curb -- the literal curb right next to the road because her mother was just too busy to even give a shit. then when she noticed me watching her child she turns to look at what I am watching and then sends THE SISTER over to get the toddler! it's your fucking job as a parent! do your fucking job or we'll pay someone else to do it!

This is going to sound incredibly naive but i dont get all the online hate. i honestly dont get it. i understand there must be some emotional response that brings the hater some kind of dopamine rush, that makes people fall into the habit of "hating leads to feeling good" but the degree of aggressive vile hate there is on line is just beyond my understanding of humanity.
i always think of the parents/kids of those who are on the receiving end of the hatred and how they might find it difficult to deal with it. and i dont mean engaging in a debate where people dont agree on something. i mean the outright spiteful hate in comments under videos, articles or pictures of people. i just dont get it.

i don't get how anyone can NOT feel badly [even a little] for the bully. they are a bully for a reason. whether their parents are bullies themselves and they are only emulating what they are exposed to at home, or they go home to NO actual parents, or parents who are too into themselves, or parents are bullying and tormenting the child. how can you hate a child? hate the behavior, not the person.
i don't get these 'not staged' bullying or whatnot videos when they show the bullied kid -- basically in the wrong. i hate that bully movie and i saw that clip of him on the bus... he was wrong. he was sitting in a seat that already had two students there and there was no room for him. and it's not like there were no other seats free, he was being obnoxious.
and on that note... how the entire world has to bow down to the autistic and understand that he is autistic so therefore his behavior must be understood and accepted. um, not where safety is concerned. sorry. and if he is in a position to be a head of a department, he needs to follow the same human rules as anyone else -- do unto others, don't call them names, don't pick your nose or your ass and then pick fluff off my hair... you know, basic human rules. not ok. i don't care what your diagnosis is. that is not an excuse to forget your manners every 2 seconds. if you have such a hard time with this, work from home.

"Black on black crime" More right-wing code talk. Gary Younge over at the Nation writes: “America is very segregated, and its criminality conforms to that fact. So the victims of most crimes are the same race as those who commit them. Eighty-four percent of white people who are killed every year are killed by white people. White people who buy illegal drugs are most likely to buy them from white people. Far from being extraordinary, the fact that black criminals are most likely to commit crimes against black people makes them just like everybody else. A more honest term than “black-on-black crime” would be, simply, ‘crime.’” No black person has ever said the BLM is about violence by cops? No black person EVER said that All Lives Matter is a deliberate (or stupid) misunderstanding of what BLM means? I don't think so. Listen, if you get all your news and commentary from Fox and Friends, just lemme tell ya, they are damn liars. Get out more. |

I agree that blacks (or anyone) shouldn’t be breaking the law. However, how can a black person who did something as relatively harmless as selling illegal cigarettes get killed (via an equally illegal chokehold)? While a white teenager who shot up a church, killing nine, not only gets taken alive, but gets taken to a fast food restaurant when he says he’s hungry? It’s shocking that a white offender who is going on a rampage can live to see trial while a black committing a misdemeanor ends up dead. THAT is what sets BLM off. |

Interesting post. I understand your point about autistic people, but I have an easier time feeling sympathy for them than I do for bullies. Yes, there are SOME cases where bullying can be called a product of a bad home life, but there are also cases where people, even as children, are just simply mean spirited and get a feeling of pleasure and pride out of disrespecting others. |

I don't get why people go to confession.
I don't get how they flock to the church to confess especially before the holy week, X'mas, getting married etc.
I don't get how they're absolved of all their "sins" by saying a few Hail Mary's and such.
I don't get how they (now free of all their sins) go on and commit the same transgressions and continue the never ending cycle.
I don't get how oblivious they are to all this.

Your last sentence. you're proving my point. all parents are responsible for their child's upbringing and how their child is molded from a child into an adult. if the parents are noticing a pattern within their child, it is up to them to get their child help. get them into that doctor's office to check them out. it's either that or they could lose their child to the system [not cps but juvenile hall for everyone's protection].at the end of the day they are in charge of their home and family life. that is the problem today, parents don't understand or acknowledge how their actions or INACTIONS effect their children. |

I don't understand why so many people have to turn everything into a joke...
You start a new thread, hoping to have a good discussion with different points of few, possibly in hope of trying to understand, or solve, a particular topic... And then five minutes later, people start making jokes and posting rude comments, and that completely destroys the thread.
Is that the point? to destroy everything they encounter?

I don't get the concept of different music for different moods. Personally, if the name of the day ends in "y", I want to hear heavy metal. Along the same lines, I don't get it when people say, "I listen to (insert band/genre) when I want to relax." If I want to relax I don't listen to music, I read.
