That video is awesome. I'm watching ever video uploaded by that guy now. Really good stuff.
 
If doing so will tempt you to post those pics again, then...no.

What about this picture then ?

Open your eyes. The race war is on.
 
Well first you don't have to make jabs at the mod team for having you take down things that most certainly would, and likely were created to create a lot of heated emotions.

This image however is more acceptable since it states fact rather than invoking negative image on a situation you weren't around for, and the media sensationalized beyond belief (on both sides).

:werd: If you can't recognize the difference between the image you just posted and the images that earned you a vacation, you need to open your eyes.
 
Also, the images I posted were f*ckin funny, in the NWS threads and in a funny picture thread.

Breaking not one of the TOS rules. And if the DiMaio picture broke a rule of racism, then it's YOU, the viewer, that thinks "Chimp outs" are a solely black thing. Therefore, I contend - It's you who are racist.

Debate.
 
There's not going to be any debate here steve. Even facebook pulled those images for violation of ToS. B's advertisers also have a vested interest in what we post on, even within the NWS thread. That's why we keep the no porn rule in there too.

Even if we did allow any and everything to be posted, it's up to us, and then ultimately up to B what is, and is not appropriate to be talked about. This is not a democracy, however, there is a lot of leeway in what we allow to be posted, especially you. You've been allowed to get away with posting a lot of things that are quite divisive, bigoted, and tin foiled on this forum, please don't act like you're a purely innocent bystander who's been singled out for no reason.

Any other questions? We can continue to do this publicly, or we can take this to private messages, it's your choice, but remember choices do tend to come with consequences. Even my actions in this post.

"What if Zimmerman never got out of his truck?"

Take that shit sandwich and eat it, libs.

If you're a con, then god help us all.

I mean hell, I'm a conservative that voted for Obama the first time because John McCain was, and still is, out of touch with reality. Granted, I didn't do it again, but being liberal doesn't make you a bad person.

Most people at one point in their life, usually early, identify with liberals, because they do not have such a narrow view of the world, and that used to be what conservatives stood for too.

What do you call people with such a narrow view of what is right and wrong in the world? It is not conservative, it's bigot. Let me get that definition from good old Merriam-Webster:

Definition of BIGOT -
a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.

The crap you spout on this forum every day is more radical than anything the liberals do or say, and you wonder why we can't elect someone who just wants to leave people alone. Because their choice from the other major party had to pass such a rigorous religious litmus test, that it's a wonder they just don't always nominate pastors. While again, I don't know about you, but what I do know is there are plenty of people in this country that are devoted to their faith, but still think it's inappropriate to brow beat the American people with it, and that's all the Right can seem to do these days. And for every one of those super far right leaning candidates, there's at least one of person on the far left who will stop at to put everyone to be on equal footing, no matter how futile the effort. Or one who wants to prove the point that there is a race issue in America, and there is one, make no mistake, but they will clog up multiple news cycles destroying everyone for keeping minorities down. And yeah, I do, as a thinking and reasoning person think that the government as a whole (on both sides) has done a lot to keep minorities down. I can go into detail on what both sides have contributed if you'd like.

Bringing things back to politics and off of race though, there are extremes on both sides. You either have the nanny state trying to protect everyone from everyone else, and in the same breath trying to put everyone on equal footing no matter the effort they've put into their lives (See Britain). Or, conversely, you have people who think their view on the world is the only one that matters, and the only one that can possibly be right, and anyone who's against them isn't a patriot (See most of North Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula). It's hard to believe that people forcing their views down other people's throats don't see the similarities in what they're doing. Both radical sides of the major American political parties are stifling the liberty of Americans with their platforms, and we're worse for it.

What the neo-con (read tea party, or far right or whatever you want) has become is a perverted version of it's former self. Out to justify it's actions against abortion clinics, or same sex marriage legislation, or whatever by using people's faith as a crutch into their lives, and then they continue to lean on that crutch. What's next from the ultra-conservative wing of the republican party? Required Sunday school? Mandatory baptisms? Those things are equally as crazy as saying a legal joining of two people, whether performed in a church or not, can't happen because the bible tells us so. But the more backing they get, the more validation they feel, and the more of this crap we have to see from our own side. I don't know about you, but I've always thought the government was supposed to be there to ensure that no body would ever get in my way to succeed. When did it become a requirement that I had to be a bible thumping Christian to be a conservative? When did both sides start thinking, that their way of interfering in my life was the right way?

You should really take your 'eat it libs' mentality and give it some real thought. Libs aren't the only problem in this country. I know it's a stretch for you, but you should think about something else, people can have feelings about a subject (in this case, the Zimmerman trial) and not be stupid for not thinking the way you do. You can disagree with them all you like, but having a differing opinion does not mean you're their intellectual superior.

And for the record since I didn't come out and say it earlier, yes, I believe the jury in the Zimmerman case came to the correct ruling. I think that Martin didn't deserve to die in that situation, but I wasn't there, and I wasn't the one getting my head bounced off the concrete. Who's to say if I were in the same situation, I wouldn't have reacted the same way? I'd like to think I would have shot him in the leg or in the shoulder, but I really don't know if I could think that clearly in that situation. I have a real problem with people, like you, making this into something it doesn't have to be, and really shouldn't be. This story should have never made the National News, heck it doesn't even warrant more than 10 seconds on the local news. But because both sides get caught up in this crap it sells for ratings, and just encourages more of the same.

We're the ones that cause shit like this to be National News by turning on the channel, by retweeting and sharing news stories about this, or Kanye's baby, or who won American Idol, or the royal wedding/baby, or some chick who wasn't ready to be a parent killing her kids. We're our own worst enemy, and the sooner people take note of that, the better we'll be as a society. When it comes to the news, I want you and everyone reading this to remember one thing. In America, if it doesn't get you ratings, it isn't news. Even local news stations have an obligation to stock holders to make money, and if it doesn't sell advertising, it isn't worth reporting.

So yeah, you can feel victorious with your 'eat it libs' comment, but really, all your doing is feeding the machine, and isn't that what you've told us all you're avoiding?

I'm ashamed to call myself a conservative, if it means that I have to be associated with people with such a narrow view of the world.
