The SCOTUS issued a huge ruling today against George Soros.

They ruled that any organizations affiliated to the “Open Society” lose the protection of the #1A and can be treated as international threats.

They didn't open anything. They just didn't like the story. Everybody has their opinions.

The biggest question on my mind was what to do about being called a nigga.

 

Do I refer to myself as King Nigga? Do I fuck their mom? Do I take them out to dinner?

 

Eventually I went with none of them as all of them seemed... immature. Then again I don't know much about the word. Are they referring to mother's cooking? Maybe they were calling me a sexy motherfucker(No relation to earlier comments). But then I realized that none of it relates to me as it is more of a human term and a taboo one at that. Oh you've been very naughty~❤️.

Funny how you change words a little and all the sudden they can mean something completely different from the original- I've tried using that word a few times and it just doesn't seem to fit for an intelligent person or persons of conscience so I'll never use it again. I think it's always been a simple mispronunciation of "negro"- meaning "black" in Spanish anyway. I hear the Spanish language butchered even now.....practically every day as it's spoken all over the country as an unofficial second language. I would even dare say that it was never even meant originally as an insult- just ignorant, uneducated colonists trying to sound bilingual or multilingual in a market place maybe. But because it is has always been associated with slavery, it is regarded as a derogatory descriptor. Maybe that's one of the problems in this country as we all seem to be speaking a different language at times since words keep changing or being redefined.

 

Simon Graham:
 "I came over with the British trade mission, oh, years ago. I was soon relieved of my position. I had a rather unfortunate tendency to tell the truth in a country where no one ever says what they mean. So now, I very accurately translate other people's lies."

Spanish does have roots in Spain and they were conquerors so the switch from a simple word to something assholes use does not sound too far fetched.

 

Overall I would rather call in historians than get into a debate over the use of the word negro.

Slavery didn't start with the British, don't kid yourself.  Slavery dates all the way back to the beginning of time.  Every culture that has existed, that I am aware of, has had slavery in one form or another.  That most all have renounced that despicable behavior is to be commended.  

 

As for massacres by conquers, again, nothing new there either.  Spread of Islam, Crusades, numerous wars all across Europe, Mongols, Macedon, Rome, Egyptian Empire, Chinese kingdoms, Persian Empire and on and on and on.  It is as old as time.  Again, it is despicable behavior, but war is messy.  Very rarely is one able to fight as surgically as the west is able to do right now.  In older times, slaughtering civilians was just part of it at times.  It is easy to sit back and judge based on the standards of today, but dead wrong to do so.  Like it or not, to the victor went the spoils back then.  Condemning their actions is laughably irrelevant.  Nothing will change history, unless you lie.  It is best to tell it the way it truly was and then explain that while that may have been right back then, now it is not.

What I am sick of hearing is how "America is bad" day in and day out, while the origins of our "bad behavior" can be traced back to the very beginning. 

It's the "blame" culture we live in. I've heard that shit from my family all my life- tear someone else down to make them feel better about themselves, to stake out the moral high-ground and feel superior. Fuck, it's an old game to us and frankly quite boring as we've laid our souls bare so many times that we just don't care about it anymore. Then we try  to pick up the pieces, put on a brave face, and move on with our shitty lives. I guess my point is that the damage is irreversible if it goes on long enough and you just become numb. Some things really are best left unsaid.

Then prove them wrong. They aren't going to shut up otherwise. Or do like me and stop watching Fox 13 News... or CNN... or any show that calls itself "news". I'm not going to pretend American politicians are nice people or that businesses are trustworthy people. But you and greg are right. People have been shit since the dawn of time. Some things have changed for the better and some for the less so.

They're also a good source of more grapes, granted that one does not throw them where they will not find purchase.

A little backhanded, but the fact that obesity has been confirmed as a risk factor for COVID-19.  Maybe, just maybe, this will be another nail in the coffin of "fat acceptance"?  I can dream, can't I?

There is acceptance... and t here is ACCEPTANCE....

 

Accept that someone is genetically designed to be a bit heavier. That they are working on being as healthy as possible for their genetic make up... Think of a athletic curvy Latina with a bot more junk in the trunk.

 

Then there is "ACCEPTANCE" where their decisions to become fat, or do o nothing, and even try to get more heavy risking their lives. Think of someone with a bit more junk EVERYWHERE...

 

the first part is acceptable. That is proper acceptance just like it is for someone being bald or short, or have bad vision. The second part isn't. That is a CHOICE then. A choice that is leading most people to an early death.

I went to a few of my lefty "friends" as an undecided and asked them to rationally explain to me why I might vote for them. What I got was almost entirely "We already live in socialism and omfg how could you even think of voting for that evil fucking liar?!!!". I would laugh but it's kinda sad to see otherwise intelligent people so thoroughly brainwashed/indoctrinated. I admit the pres himself is downright cringeworthy sometimes (ok most times), but I agree with most of the admin's policies and they have done pretty much what they said they would while running the first time.

 

I don't think the brilliance of the pres is as evident to people because he's a terrible actor. He butchers the English language regularly and he articulates about as well as a five yr old. Where I think he shines is knowing people and putting together a winning team that do almost all the work for him while he goes out and absorbs all the public scrutiny. The man is admirable in that he seems to have an indomitable will. No matter how many rabid haters attack him, he sings the same tune.

Honestly I would like to know. Whatever.

 

In politics whoever gets upset loses. Okay so nobody is upset. All of this chaos is caused by the government's inability to act. Correct? So who is going to get the government on the right track? The government isn't doing anything to fix the situation whatever that is. Why aren't they doing anything? Isn't most of the government run by Republicans? Why don't they fix the situation? If not why doesn't the other party fix the situation? Maybe the government has reached a point where it is not upset anymore and why would they be?

 

Whatever is happening nothing is being done and people are even laughing at it via memes so everything must be fine. Forget school shootings and all the violence in the U.S. everything is fine. It doesn't matter who you vote for anyway because the election is rigged. Trump said it himself. The word of the day is "fake news". People feel safe in a fair and just system.

 

We lasted this long in a relatively new country without something fucking up. Lets continue doing the same thing because nothing has changed since the founding fathers founded this country.

 

I don't care who fixes problems that don't exist. Why should I?

Politicians come from the people (sort of). Take a look at this and guess which side is which and then you decide who's trying to "fix" things.

Still lost. Is this guy a drug addict? If so he'll need serious rehab. The guy gave him an apple and a sandwich which is still a wonderful donation and is much better than money when it comes to beggars as some of them might be faking it. Sure the ingredients must have cost some money but at least he isn't handing the guy money to buy booze or drugs.

 

If you're talking political parties. It all comes down to opinion. If so you don't know you could easily look it up. If you are talking candidates you could look that up too. Then again both of them are going to lie anyway. Not saying they are the only two parties but the only ones that matter in this day and age.

Destroying a store with a bat, taking everyone in a fastfood joint hostage, causing a senior citizen to have a heartattack, shooting a cop... I'm guessing it ain't D-FENS who's the solution to our problems.
