And was is it that you want Dwn?

No that's not what I want, and I don't think that's the reason. In my experience most people on here are humble enough to admit when a good counterpoint is made. The question was meant to get you to think about how you present yourself in arguments compared to other members who can have completely conflicting views and not create such drama in debate threads such as this.

I enjoy your company when I don't have to read your comments in threads like this. We get along great in plug.

so it seems like if you just click on the smilies you can't really go past 8 without it glitching

where as if you go in and insert spaces between each one, you can go up to 10 without the glitch

You said that we wanted the same thing and I asked you what was it that you wanted.

Also, what drama did I create?

I haven't insulted you nor have I disrespected you.

It's just a general typing glitch. Put a bunch of unbroken periods and there will be a space for no apparent reason eventually.

I thought you were asking if your response was what I wanted to hear.

I want equality among races. I want to see more people embrace diversity even in cultures they may not understand or support. I want people to stop giving so much of a sh*t about how other people find happiness and worry about themselves. I want a lot of things, none of which I expect to happen.

What drama? Look at your forum posts. The people who aren't arguing with you are often annoyed by the discussions. Outside of the pop forum a majority of your posts are arguments with other members. When you get sick of arguing or disgusted enough by our "racism" you leave, and then eventually return to start another discussion destine to go downhill. Maybe you should try to actually get to know some of the members, and mix some fun posts in between the topics you get emotional about.

How is he supposed to have done this when the man ran directly from his car, away from the officer and was shot down at range

Okay, so the cop is being charged with murder --- probably only because he was caught on video and the powers that be have no choice --- but will he be convicted? Every other week there seems to be some trigger-happy cop looking for an excuse to gun down a black guy. I'm not saying every cop is like this of course, but you have to wonder, with these incidents on the increase, do cops not think before they shoot? Like, there is no other way that cop could have halted his quarry's escape other than to shoot him dead? What happened to the Civil Rights Law? Are we living in the 50s again?

Comments?

I've said this before, here in the police brutality thread, and I'll say it again. THERE IS SO MUCH DOCUMENTATION WHEN A COP DRAWS THEIR WEAPON. TH this isn't a nation where cops just gun people down in the street like animals. And the cases that do actually legitimately do happen are splashed all over the news so that it looks like it's Rodney King day all day every day. That aint the case man.

As for Dr King, well I think you are asking the wrong question. If you look at the state of black culture from the 60's til now, you will find quite the down grade from how my grandparents behaved and how the youngsters behave now. And that is SAD. Id ask him how he feels about that! You have people killing each other over 2 sq inches of street. For every action there is a reaction, and the reaction for these actions is **** like this. Black folks cannot blame law enforcement entirely, it takes two to tango and if you are running through a city park shooting in a cross walk don't expect that you don't get blasted. Quite frankly I find myself embarrassed at some of the things black people do, it enrages me. Because if you continue to act like an ******* you can't say **** when someone hollers ******. You are reinforcing a stereotype in the minds of people that already may have a slight leaning to racism. And instead of 'my community' looking to better themselves, and stop these kinds of things from happening, in a manner that would make MLK proud, we behave the opposite way and expect to hang his name on atrocities that he didn't stand for in the first place.
