People are dumb. Violence has always been less offensive than words. We watch people beat the fuck out of each other for entertainment and we always have.
People just like to bitch.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
Hmm, should I get involved in this debate, or should I do homework? Priorities...

Example?

I don't remember multiple citywide riots occuring over taking a knee at a ball game.

Would appreciate some citations.

Now, I am not saying we cannot or should not discuss someone taking a knee in protest. But I am saying we should use twice that amount of energy discussing and attempting to eradicate injustice. A woman just got 15 months in prison for encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself. Meanwhile, a guy that actually ran a woman over and killed her got 22 days in jail and a fine. I would say, society has always had this mentality. When a school shooting happens, people blame art... like seriously, art. Sad, sad state of humanity. |
Never mind all the extenuating circumstances surrounding everything you mentioned, right? Just take it at face value? Cops just shoot and kill people, but those people are never criminals or behaving in a dangerous way around people whose lives are on the line doing their job? Convincing a guy over and over to kill himself every time he backs down isn't fucked?
Context matters.

You forgot about the protests, rioting and property damage in backlash against the police.
Yeah, there's something that shocked me about my teacher at school. She literally showed us a video of a man getting shot and killed, but would not let us listen to Eminem because it had profanity. Like she thinks hearing a bad word is worse than seeing a murder.

Here's the latest one I saw before making this thread... https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=135_1314585645 (thanks Birimbau) Guy literally attacks an elderly couple because he thinks they called him a racially derogatory term (they didn't). Although even if they had that certainly doesn't justify him attacking them. |

Just show me a guy who got life in prison for marijuana possession or basic armed robbery without prior convictions exascerbating the sentence.
