| legendary_zell 10/05/18 11:53:58 AM #5 | That's an accurate statement of the law. It's wrong and has caused a ton of problems, but that's been the court's view since the 70s. --- |

| legendary_zell 10/03/18 1:44:34 PM #17 | CyricZ posted... I seem to recall suggestions that The Hill skewed conservative, but some sites say that it actually leans liberal and I dunno what to believe anymore. I had to read it daily for an internship. It's relatively centrist. --- |

Anyway, if you think any of those publications are neutral you are completely delusional They are certainly more neutral than Breitbart and all these other places that spread blatant misinformation and conservative narratives and justify it by saying they're the "balance" to other media. It doesn't make sense to complain about all of these places being biased and then watch/read news that's even moreover biased, but more palatable. --- |

| legendary_zell 10/03/18 1:36:50 PM #10 | s0nicfan posted... I find one of the best news sources for US news is the BBC. They lean left, but they're not nearly as invested in the outcome of the story so they tend to just report the facts. I agree with you. I don't remember what links you've posted, but if you're consistently posting the BBC, you're damn near the only one. --- |
| Topic | What is a trustworthy news source for conservatives |
| legendary_zell 10/03/18 1:27:03 PM #1 | We've gotten to the point where I can't think of any non-blatantly conservative source that is accepted by conservatives. People are dismissing NYT, WAPO, CNN, the New Yorker, NP goddamn R. Network news, cable news, print news, internet based news, podcasts, none of it is legitimate anymore. It doesn't seem distinguishable from simply not wanting to believed negative info or info that challenges a world view. And I anticipate someone trotting out the BBC or AP or something, but that's clearly not what's linked or shared here or elsewhere. It's always Breitbart, Daily Wire/Caller, Fox News, Gateway Pundit, Washington Times. All sources that coincidentally tell conservatives what they want to hear. --- |

I'm being sarcastic in defining patriarchy, exclusion, and old boys clubs as "weirdness". By weirdness, I mean it's not a natural or obvious result, it's not something that's "just the way it is", it's a direct effect of a social system. --- |

Do you see 50 percent or even 20 percent women there? Exclusion doesn't have to mean a categorical ban. Black people were excluded from voting in the south even though some still voted. --- |

| Topic | What would you do in Kavanaugh's situation? |
| legendary_zell 09/28/18 10:43:27 AM #5 | I'd submit to every possible type of investing, take a lie detector, absolutely anything that would make me more likely to be believed. I'd want my friends to testify under oath too, especially the one who was alleged to be in the room. Especially if my defense is that I wasn't even there and so it literally couldn't have been me, that would be found out and my accusers and the people who helped them would be destroyed by the public. I'd be honest about my actual flaws that I actually have if I had a drinking problem or a being an asshole problem. The Kav didn't do any of these things and it makes him suspicious AF. --- |

| Topic | Why are people so afraid of a conservative supreme court? |
| legendary_zell 09/25/18 3:55:11 PM #40 | Because his ideology cannot account for modern contexts when it comes to economic regulations because he has a view of government power that's rooted in political ideology and conservative versions of historical narratives. You can't have a growth in constitutional civil liberties under Kavanagh because his idea of civil rights is pegged to a times when civil rights barely existed and whole groups of people were explicitly, maliciously excluded from civic, social, or political equality. As Scalia admitted, his worldwide view doesn't even get you to Brown v. Board. That's worrying. People with marginalized identities economically less powerful people, etc are all going to stagnate or backslide the entire time he's on the court. --- |

Giving criminals all these rights is half the reason they've gotten so bold. Start putting a bullet through their head, right there on the courtroom floor, the second the judge says "Guilty" and watch how quickly it stops. Even those who get off on technicalities will be scarred for life by all the blood on the witness stand and will think twice before offending again. If you're not trolling, you're straight up violently insane and ignorant of history. We've lived through times where the dp was used willy-nilly and it wasn't a crimeless utopia. Crime was much higher, people still stole frequently. People were simply killed for disproportionate stuff. Furthermore, you're completely ignoring the concept of due process and how your rules would be used in a racist, sexist, and classist way...just as it was when we already did it. --- |

That hell just fire Rosenstein and Mueller, the GOP will be deeply troubled, and then thats it. This is my fear as well. But my main hopes are that the Kavanaugh nomination going down in flames will take away the support he gets from the "we just want a SC Justice" crowd in the GOP. And there's also the hope that all the crises happening so close to an election will further galvanize the blue wave. --- |

From much gym time viewing of Fox News, it seems like right wing media has been working hard to discredit him. That might keep viewers and their representatives from reacting to the obvious constitutional crisis. --- |

That's one of the worst parts about this administration, but this has been happening with Republicans since Reagan. This is especially egregious because this is almost going back to the spoils system era of appointments. --- |

It came out in 2012 in private. She's told doctors, her husband, Congress people etc before he was ever nominated. She's taken and passed a polygraph and may even be willing to testify in front of Congress. We know by now that many victims try to move on without reporting or are scared to accuse a powerful person. It makes sense that this is coming to a head now because he's about to be appointed for life to the goddamn Supreme Court and will have power over women's rights and many other things. The timing isn't suspicious, it's exactly what you'd suspect. She talked about it years ago and now she's talking about it to stop the guy from being untouchable. As for the Washington Post.....everything you posted there is an absolute joke. Breitbart is a white nationalist/alt-right rag aimed purely at stoking conservative prejudice. The Washington Post is a highly respected organization with actual journalistic ethics that exposed Watergate. --- |

And of course he did because otherwise, he'd be publicly admitting to being an accessory to attempted rape. You're talking about science and needing a high level of evidence to prove someone's guilt and destroy their life and reputation. But you're willing to take an inconclusive statement and use it as conclusive proof that the accuser is a politically motivated liar, destroying her life and denying her assault. --- |

If it even has an element of truth to it, it's really bad though just because of the possibility of these companies using their immense power for or against anyone.

You seemed to be saying corporate collusion with government to raise barriers to entry through regulations and government favoritism is why things like this happen. But then you're highlighting new businesses as if to say the barriers to entry aren't actually that high. I'd argue that the huge companies become hulking behemoths that fall behind the time and are chiefly concerned with making safe, steady gains, and other companies exploit obvious gaps that expose how out of date those companies are. I'd say it's during this stage when companies try to collude with the government to block competition, but it doesn't matter when you're selling analog cameras at the start of the digital revolution. The fundamental problem there is that the companies have the power to do this, and you can't limit that power without limiting their speech. That doesn't really apply to examples like the one TC posted though. There are actually high barriers to entry there, but that's due the time and resources to create a new, effective drug. Most of the basic research is actually done/funded by the government, these companies spend most their money on marketing and stock buybacks, not research. Then they price gouge because the demand for the one pill that's keeping x group alive is pretty easy to keep up nearly regardless of price because people enjoy living. --- |
| Topic | When it comes to the black community, why do the issues white people feel ok |
| legendary_zell 09/11/18 9:01:28 PM #125 | silentwing26x posted... legendary_zell posted...silentwing26x posted...ShinyMuffin posted...silentwing26x posted...Not really. Most people don't inherit any wealth, and rich families lose most of their money by the 3rd generation that inherited any. As long as your grandparents and parents reproduced and didn't royally fuck up, you're basically on the same footing as everyone else. What about the stereotyping? What about the generational aspect of being in the same place over time? What about the different ways that your skin color alone affects the way people behave towards you. I agree that bad housing is bad housing while you live there, but it's not equally easy for a black family and a white family to leave that situation due to differences in employment, loan discrimination etc. You may have gone to a terrible, segregated school, but people of different races aren't treated equally even within a school considering effects like the school to prison pipeline. I don't doubt that you put up with a lot of BS in terms of your poverty and living situation, but others had that, plus race based challenges, minus the type of parents who can decide to go to a new country and start over successfully. --- |
