  Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

  there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

  someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

  we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

  And he should be allowed to dress as anybody he wants to, as long as it's not in the intent of disparaging. If someone decides they will dress up as a character who happens to be of another skin color at halloween, and it's done in good spirit, then this is totally fine - yes, I agree, actually.

  The issue are the droves of idiots, that spend their days trying to come with things to complain about. Just part of the outrage society we live it - but Trudeau is one of those droves of idiots who find offence in everything.

  So, while I agree with your first point about freedom of expression, I'm a bit glad that Trudeau is catching some flack over this.

  Have you ever had the misfortune to watch one of the modern female comedians? It's endless unfunny 3rd wave feminist drivel and "I'm funny because I shout 'vagina' a lot".

  Justin Trudeau has apparently been caught in 'brown face'.

  A picture has emerged of him 'browning up' at an Arabian themed party from 2001.

  Clearly Trudeau doesn't find old-fashioned comedy offensive.

  The many lies within the Jehovah's Witnesses religion

  by Finkelstein in

  2. beliefs

  jws think their organization is the most honest and righteous christian based faith in the world solemnly chosen by god because of that.

  i thought it would interesting to evaluate the many persistent lies the jws propagate from the top leaders down.

  first up the many lies and biblicaly unsupported doctrines made by the wts own leaders such as pin pointing the exact year and time of christ's return and establishing his throne in heaven, once in 1874 then 1914. .

  I love the way some WT lies grew to be lies as time wore on.

  In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was much harder to show WT doctrine to be crap.

  Now, it's so easy because it's self-evident: Armageddon isn't linked to the year 1914. Either God doesn't exist or God somehow exists but doesn't take an active interest in human affairs.

  Do You Think People Should Be Scorned For Wearing A Red MAGA Hat?

  do you support free choice to wear a political hat or article of clothing?

  if someone wants to put a bumper sticker on their car in support of a political candidate or party, should they be able to do it without fear of being maligned or abused?

  Candace Owens, like most adults, has a built-in bullshit detector. She's probably encountered racism at least once in her life. She knows racism when she sees it. And that black dude, with the 'Grow The Heck Up' cap on, he knows what racism is. It seems you, Fink, claim to know better ...
  

  Illusions and delusions are great for white washing over facts - well that's very condescending.

  How about actually engage with people? That's gotta be best, right?

  It's good to talk.

  Addendum - there's also the issue of identity politics. White supremacists practice identity politics. That's not good. But, here's what's also not good - the left practices identity politics to combat racist identity politics. That's the wrong way to deal with it. The truly inclusive way to counter racism is to defeat it by coming together - we are all Homo sapiens. All people - black, white, straight, gay, etc. - have the exact same rights and responsibilities under the law and should recognise that fact. That's equality.

  Have you ever noticed that there is hardly any colored people at Trump's rallies ? - here's a Trump supporter on YouTube. And he's black ...

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0sXciYywag
  

  

  ^^^ And here's another well-known Trump supporter. Look at her beautiful smile and brown skin.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIj9jmf4mSM
  

  ^^^ And another. The young Trump supporter is called Quay Manuel. He seems to be intelligent and independent-minded. This video is on Anthony Brian Logan's channel ... another African-American Trump supporter.

  Fink - ditch identity politics. It don't do no good. Individual identity is more important. We are all Homo sapiens. There are plenty of men and women of color who are right wingers or Trump supporters. They are individuals, grown-up people who know their own minds and are capable of independent thought.

  White nationalism is an expressive ideology quite often associated with Trump, there is probable reason for that - but white nationalism is only associated with Trump due to the mainstream media (which is virulently anti-Trump).

  Spot the problem here?

  Every year, on the anniversary of Nine-Eleven ...

  “get out of here—this is my father’s funeral; you don’t belong here; you are a liar!”.

  the woman’s face reflected terrible pain—the worst pain possible, to the point of breakdown.

  a thousand unanswered questions washed from her eyes by the flow of many tears.

  9/11 was the worst single terrorist incident of all time. On one day 3,000 innocent people were killed. A military response from the US was necessary.

  9/11 directly caused two wars: the Afghanistan War and the Second Iraq War. I believe the US was right to go into Afghanistan and topple the jihadi training camps, bomb Al Qaeda there and dismantle the Taliban. The Taliban had given a murderous Osama bin Laden refuge. A few years earlier, bin Laden had declared war on America. Nobody took any notice because at the time he came across as an Arab crackpot. Well, it turned out he was deadly serious. The US seal team was totally justified in shooting him dead in 2010.

  However, I believe the US was wrong to attack Iraq. Saddam Hussein was a typical Arab dictator. A nasty person but he had nothing to do with Al Qaeda or Islamic terrorism. Both the US & the UK were wrong to invade Iraq.

  I saw the documentary The Falling Man on TV a few years ago.

  I remember hearing that some sections of the media either outright labelled the jumpers 'cowards' or implied cowardice. The documentary argued that the opposite was the case - these unfortunate people found themselves in a terrible situation not of their own doing and chose when and how it would end for them.
