Tenchusatsu > "And those thugs, should they have been there in the first place?" You favor preventative detention? Jailing people without trial or conviction? I think people should be arrested AFTER they commit crimes. Drug laws are a form of stupid preventative detention. But I also think ANYONE convicted of a crime should do time. NO getting off writing a check for a fine. That's not punishment to a rich person. > "Uh, uh, uh, Black Lives Matter!" You have no idea about my views on this and keep putting words in my mouth to cheat to win a debate. I differ quite a bit on which assholes deserved getting shot or arrested from BLM. For example, IMO, Michael Brown was a thug, extortionist and I think probably brought his own death upon himself. Breonna Taylor's death was caused by our insane drug laws not racism... although the drug laws were put into place in the 1930s to control black people's voting rights. So when you lump me in with BLM you are WRONG WRONG WRONG ... AGAIN. I hate racism AND reverse racism. I have repeatedly contended the largest divide between Americans is NOT white vs "people of color" and I hate that term. IMO the largest divide is between white vs blue collar workers. I have more in common with people of color in my neighborhood than Franklin Rains or Oprah has in common with them. The way blue collar people in the US are treated is a large factor in the Orange Fat Man's popularity... although their faith in a swindling billionaire faker is totally misplaced. I don't know why I feel compelled to debate you. I suspect you have no empathy or experience with ghetto life or how capitalism fueled by a legacy of racism crushed whole swaths of innocent hard working people or how blue collar people are treated in this country. Its a matter of culture. I've live in both. My parents were white collar, I've been both white and blue collar. I've lived and work all the time in white collar neighborhoods, but I've also lived in deep ghettos. I don't think you have a clue. Capitalism vs Communism... I favor Capitalism. But its not so much the economic system as the people. The fuckers that controlled communist Russia or China are no different than the fuckers that control Politics in capitalist countries. Shit floats to the top, Mao and Stalin are no different than Hitler or Trump.
