  • It's time for "The Talk"

  • Some of the picture that you're conveniently omitting:

    George Floyd was a violent thug with a history which was known by Derek, so the situation was confirmed high risk for him (not even counting the unruly mob they had to contend with).

    George complained about not being able to breathe while being escorted to the vehicle.

    At that moment; medical was called for which is why they arrived on sceen (attempting to save his life).

    George refused to get in the car and at his suggestion they laid him on the ground outside.

    Derek's knee to the neck was protocol and what he was trained to do that they lied about in court.

    There's conflicting testimonies about what actually killed him, but let's not forget that he was complaining about not being able to breathe while still standing before a struggle, (which used up oxygen) which was his choice. He was also affected by Covid.

    So stop with the propaganda.

  • This should be viral. Every BLM piece of propaganda on Youtube that I saw involving the death of a black person could be traced back to a shadow banned (by YouTube) raw video showing resisting arrest, brandishing a gun, etc. If they cared about people's lives; they'd educate. My father had this talk with me, and any father that loves their kids should do likewise.

  • I'm not feeling bad for you if you can't afford your cigarettes, cannabis, crack, and alcohol because of your own damn choices.

    I won't say get a job: I'd say straighten yourself out and quit trying to rely on others handouts.

  • What happens when you don't work for the slave master?

    If you have an answer, you have an option, and that means choice. Did you never hear "Give me liberty or give me death"? Going out and being productive without an employer is far easier, is it not?

  • Pathetic is people that can't negotiate their own pay and think their worth is more than it is.

  • Most people in the US are more than capable of 'spreading the wealth'. -So what stops us?

    I chose to not be addicted to drugs, to be responsible with money, and learn valuable skills and indepencence from employers. Why should I provide for someone choosing different (or enabling them to go even further down a bad path)? Wealthy people are no different in this respect, they just have more money. Squandering it on people who claim to be poor isn't as good as...

    Buying up farmland in the USA to keep it out of the hands of China, or funding vaccinations. -Something a 'billionaire' has been doing.

    Or.. give an example of people winning big on the lottery and compare it to the people who's lives were destroyed by the easy money. Being a better steward of money doesn't make someone evil.

  • It's argued that slavery was a choice. Working minimum is far more so.

  • Experiencing homelessness leads to a better understanding of homelesseness. Same with wealth; if you've never been wealthy; you don't know the experience. Sure, it's nice that you show you care about it, but anything you have to contribute on the topic is about as effective as donating to a scam artist and thinking you did good.

  • I've been homeless, have you? You're probably ignoring underlying problems like drug addictions, mental illness, and divorce. Also, some people simply choose the life.

  • Poverty is about resources. Most people in the US have plenty of that. Most people living paycheck to paycheck indeed did it to themselves.

    Talked to someone while returning bottles and cans the other day. They had an electric bike with a trailer. They make ~$80 a week just going around town picking up bottles and cans. -Something I used to do before e-bikes. I made 2x minimum wage doing it when redemption took longer and more effort (feeding through a machine). Almost any idiot is capable of doing this, others are capable of far more.

    If you're dependent on an employer in the US; you're probably a lazy leech that simply refuses to do actual work because I could give example after example of work people could do for more money. -When you lack those resources, then complain about poverty.

  • What kind of stupid question is this? No, I don't believe idiotic things like 'money is THE root of all evil'. There are obviously other incentives in life. What's your point?
