Political Discussions for "Adults"

If I’m reading that right they’re saying if we prosecuted fraud we’d have to prosecute fraud.

Is that a correct reading?

"If we convicted them, we'd have to convict ALL the criminals and that'd be a lot of work!"

That's how I read it.

Louis CK's joke about people still calling Native Americans "Indians" is such a small example of this bigger culturally ignorant frame of mind.

Did you see that when covid-19 supplies were requested to be sent to the Native American health center in Seattle they were sent a bunch of body bags instead.

I've become so desensitized to this kind of inhumane bullsh*t that it didn't even register.

It's just the world we live in. Even if everyone tried to make it better it would still only get worse. It's all about the defenition of better.

Lol.

I remember a guy trying to make this point on a date once.

"It's just like, I know the holocaust was bad, but you have to understand that for some people it was good. It's just how you think about it."

Same guy wouldn't shut up about that one time he camped at Bonnaroo smh.

Not sure whats so lol... unless you define better, people are going to have conflicting solutions based on their opinion. This is the same thing I get on elph for when he talks about morality.

The klan cant justify their treatment of black people as a means to make the world better when you include ending human suffering in the list of what better means.
