Frown's underneath so many layers of irony and trolling that he's become impervious to criticism. Amazing.

Oh don't worry, any criticism toward him means he can change the posts to portray his false narrative that he does nothing wrong. He's a mod so he can do that.

Unitron 12-05-2018 08:42 PM

Frown is like the human embodiment of an ironic family guy meme.

I know he trolls but his brand of trolling is questioning people's logic and I'm okay with that.

That and there is this new thing going on where if you disagree and have a very good reason/point to disagree people just dismiss it as trolling.

Is much more true than you want to admit. Something that gets blatantly ignored by MicShazam, Windsock, anybody defending you. I've seen plenty of times where you have been unfairly critiqued or people, as they usually do, jump to conclusions about your character. Which, again, happens to everybody. Though, with you, I feel as though you've added so much fuel to the fire that it's almost a reputation you earned. Like, your views on Luis C.K. aren't really bigoted and to call you a misogynist over it is a drastic conclusion. But pair that with the fact that you said 90% of women aren't useful beyond sex and it feels kind of justified to me.

Speaking from a purely personal point of view as a Jewish person, I've openly admitted my heritage and I don't think Merit's treated me any different because of it. Just putting that out there.

Do you see non-Jews as cattle?

Do you practice and agree with the parts of the Talmud that say that it is okay to lie to, cheat and kill non-Jews or that it is okay to have sex with children?

If you can say NO to all of the above, then you're solid in my book.

That is whay I always say that I have a problem with zionist and Talmudic Jews, but everyone says that is a dog whistle for being racist. Those people are ignorant.

A 13-Year-Old Autistic Student Died After Being Physically Restrained At School

"At this time, there appears to be no evidence of foul play or criminal intent."
I’ll admit I don’t know **** about this particular case but I do know, just as a general rule, a kid doesn’t escalate from no indication that he doesn’t like school to having to be killed to keep him there in one day. It ****ing astounds me that so few people question the morality of compulsory schooling and letting children have a say in the matter. Ffs, school is not for everyone. Our obsession with staying in school and drop prevention and no child left behind are all roads to hell paved with good intentions. If a kid really hates school let them do something else somewhere else. And if that’s too radical please allow more flexibility. Not everyone neads to study the STEM or STEAM curriculum. For some kids maybe “school” should mean doing things like going fishing, smoking weed, playing ping pong or video games, and/or just hanging out learning how to hang out with people. Before federal funding was tied into attendance local communities had more autonomy in making judgment calls and turning a blind eye in these matters. I’m not trying to romanticize the local. I understand that in many cases the local community is a right wing nightmare but I still think children would be much better served by a system of localized autonomy (like I witnessed in rural Japan). Let the people who actually work with the children and their parents and ffs the child as well decide on their own. The federal government making mandates for tens of millions of children they’ve never met is too much. Give the schools back to the communities.

We don't really protest though.

A Twitter hash tag, a sternly worded phone call to LBC and an online petition.

That is the British way.

I know, I remember someone told me about some sort of protest against the price of petrol and everyone was just going to stop and get out their cars at a certain time... funnily enough didn’t happen :laughing:

I agree. If things are worth-while, you generally don't have to forcefully compel people to do them.

Also, 6 feet tall and 280 pounds is GIGANTIC for a 13 year old! If he got out of control, he could really do some damage to the other kids.

It's a shame that things turned out the way they did :(

3 St. Louis cops were charged with beating up a person who was protesting the acquittal of Jason Stockley, a white police officer who killed a 24-year-old black man, Anthony Lamar Smith, after a high-speed chase in 2017. The protester that got assaulted? Well, he turned out to be an undercover cop. They beat up their fellow officer. You can't make this shit up.

[EDIT: Is this posting style better? Crybabies. Because I think it's lame.]

I still prefer this:

The bullet point, bold and underlining make it stand out, so that you know that it is a post of a news story, rather than normal diatribe or conversation. You can hover over the hyperlink to get the URL source, and I can word it so that it tells you as much info about the link as possible, while still being short enough to be used as a headline. With the first style, you are forced to read a whole paragraph about the story. What if you read it and get to the end and realize that you wasted your time because the story sucked or was of no interest to you? With the second method, you can read a single sentence and know whether or not you care enough to read about the whole story.
