Kenosha

[shoothoops]

Feel free to put mask stuff in the mask thread. Everyone needs to wear a mask when around anyone outside of their own personal bubble. No exceptions.

[4everwarriors]

Of course she should wear a mask.

And the comments about Pelosi's looks were juvenile and uncalled for.

C'mon man, you of all people, hey?

[The Sultan]

She doesn't look bad for an 80 year old.

The fact that we have a bunch of 70 and 80 year olds running the country is a little concerning.

[4everwarriors]

She shouldn't stand too close to the fireplace. Her face will melt and the chest silicone will likely bust a leak, aina?

Is this an acronym for All Lives Matter Equally? If so, anyone have an issue with the slogan?

<sigh>

It's fine.

But why are we the only country on earth where the phrase Black Lives Matter has become a controversial statement?  It's like people are afraid of saying it or something.

And Trump's fake hair would catch fire.

Only if/when it's used - like "All Lives Matter" and "Blue Lives Matter" - as a bludgeon against Black Lives Matter.

And Fluffy, it's not that people are afraid to say Black Lives Matter. It's that they don't want to say it. So they come up with things like "All Lives Matter" instead. It allows them to convince themselves their motives for opposing BLM (the phrase, not organization) aren't racist.

I'm gonna need Talcum X chime in with his thoughts, hey.

I think it's because people in this country are extremely self obsessed and triggered easily (even the side that claims it's only the left that's gets easily offended). For your average right wing white guy They here black lives matter and immediately jump to "what mine doesn't?!" And thus need to involve themselves in a slogan that has nothing to do with them.

Because if everybody says it, it might be true.

When people say Black Lives Matter, they are in no way implying that all lives do not matter.  They are trying to call special attention to one segment of the population that is being treated unjustly.  Yes, all lives matter.  And they all matter equally.  Your life matters, my life matters, we all matter.  The statement, black lives matter, is trying to draw attention to that very point, because many seem to treat black lives, as though they don't matter.  Its like when I tell one of my kids I love them, it doesn't mean that I don't love my wife.  Every person on this Earth deserves to be treated with human dignity by each other, and by the governments and people in authority.

Parable of the lost sheep. Luke 15:3-7

There is nothing wrong about focusing on the one lost (or disadvantaged/ill-treated), it does not take away from the other 99.

It says quite a bit that you need approval of a slogan to let the message sink in.

C'mon man, you of all people, hey?

If you can find one post in which I made fun of a woman's looks, I will self-impose a 1-year Scoopcation.

I know you won't make the same deal ... because I'd only have to go back to yesterday this morning.

Out of context alert!  Luke 15:3-7 has nothing to do with focusing on the "disadvantaged/ill-treated".  The parable corresponds to lost sinners being found by Jesus, i.e. entering the kingdom of God.

[cheebs09]

Yes, it should.  She should not get a pass on her response to this pandemic at all.

Especially because I think salons are only allowed to be outdoor in California.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan is a better example.

You have scores of posts making fun of a man's looks. How is that different?

I have a problem with it

When tragedies befall specific cities and slogans like "Boston Strong" are generated, did anyone shout "all cities are strong"? No. Why do you think that is?

[MU82]

AP Fact Check ...

The guy who thinks "law and order" applies to everybody except him and his supporters lied repeatedly when talking about what happened in Kenosha ...

Why just women? All genders matta, hey?

In a normal world, this would be scandalous. Today it's par for the course.
