Zimmerman Verdict In...

I wasn't aware there were people in either party that held any position other than complete and unconditional support for Israel.

Or were we talking about the populace rather than the politicians?

Tasting the Rainbow.. both ways. I approve.

Slummin' it!!!

*** Sunburn not included. ***

That looks so delicious.

What aren't you understanding lol. You are parsing here. Splitting hairs because you cannot make an argument. The point is he was buying them to aid in his getting wrecked. He wasn't just a 12 year old skipping home with a pack of skittles.

Get back on topic. I will start handing out topicbans.

Populace for the record.

Where did you get that in anything I said?

Fail.

Yes, yes, science is an enigma wrapped in a mystery, but we use it as the litmus test to determine our reality. Do you see the problem with that? Atheists discredit religion (ostensibly) because there is no scientific proof. Then when you point out that our grasp of science is not sophisticated enough to be held to such high standards... Well, it's like the kid who wants to be treated with respect but doesn't act respectably. You can't have a perfect science when it comes to eliminating religion, then acknowledge its infinite flaws when it is assailed.

And there is something wrong in thinking that is how we arrive at our conclusions.

I think the straw man said it.

Why are you automatically under the assumption that he's atheist because of his political leanings?

I think, if we needed to, we could also expand on Sparth's list with theism and atheism. This world does have shades of gray.

I'm really not trying to be rude, and maybe this would be best said in the 'Republicans in Trouble' thread, but do you not see how pigeon-holing people is alienating people in the middle?

As to Lean, one can make Lean out of anything...they cant say he was buying the Arizona beverage to make illicit mixtures of pharmaceuticals but then again, apparently its a given. You know, just because something can doesnt mean it always will be

You're still getting facts wrong while asserting that he profiled Martin for no reason other than "my feelings". He didn't "drive out looking for criminals", he was just about to drive to the store because he was hungry when he spotted someone he thought looked suspicious, and, again, in the tape he didn't even seem sure that the man was black until he was much closer to him. Why you ignored this earlier when I pointed it out, I don't know.

It drives me up the wall when people use "my feelings" as evidence of profiling, discrimination, racism etc. To me accusing someone of racism is one of the most heinous things you can be accusing somebody of so you better have a really good reason of making it.

An example, my father had a co-worker (White straight American male, so much privilege erywhere) when he first started working at his university that seemed to ignore him/dismiss him. My mother was convinced the man was discriminating against my father but if my father was as impulsive as a person as my mother (or more relevant, you) he would've missed out on someone who ended up being one of his closest friends during his entire teaching career. It turns out the guy was just a shy, quiet man.


Sadly you'd be shocked how many "liberals" actually believe that nonsense but I equate those people to conservatives that spend their days comparing homosexuals to polygamy and bestiality.

Lean is made from candy, a soft drink and codeine. TM was a self professed use of Lean. There never was any "iced tea" in this case, the media lied to you *again*.

Though honestly the articles on TM have absolutely nothing to do with the case. Their just being touted around by the liberals to generate "feelings" that they can the manipulate.


Most of the liberals on this forum believe this. Just talk to them about things like "white privilege" and "minority discrimination against whites". They will adamantly insist that whites can not be victims of discrimination. It gets pretty ugly after that.

To the rest, there are very few true "conservatives" left. Right now we have two liberal parties with their only difference being where they draw their support from. Prior to the civil rights movement the Democratic party is where all the religious nuts where. During the movement and shortly afterward there as a mass exodus of the Religious liberals from the Democratic party to the Republican party, this influx eventually altered the party from a financial / business focused group with an emphasis on personal freedom and responsibility into a deep-south religious focused group.

So right now we have two parties,
Non-religious Democrats
Religious Democrats

And we wonder why the USA is going to hell in a hand-basket.

Minority groups can be oppressive but they lack influence at the systematic level. The assertion that oppressive behaviors between minority groups don't exist is ridiculous.

I concur.

and Milamber, I really love you sometimes.

I'm sad that I was gone for two days and nothing case relevant was really talked about except for the fact that the media does like to skip over facts of the case quit often when it didn't paint the picture they wanted to present.

This is irrelevant of whether somebody is a liberal or a democrat, or a conservative, or a republican, and it's disgusting that another thread has been made into a *** partisan issue.

I'm still curious as to how a jury of 6 women were chosen to be the jurors in a case of the state vs a man. It baffles my mind.

I'm also curious as to why the judge was so bias.

I'm also curious as to why this even made it to court in the first place.

I'm curious to see if the people who took it to court, the people responsible for destroying multiple people's lives unnecessarily out of trying to politicize this event that had nothing to do with race into a race issue. From George, to the ex chief of the police.

What more is there to talk about? The issue has inevitably become partisan with the Republicans holding Zimmerman up as a hero and the Democrats demanding his head on a platter. Both sides have resorted to character assassination to justify their stances and have let emotions completely blind any attempt to attack the underlying reality.

In the middle is the problem of social identity for young black men, general issues that plague the black community and an environment where being profiled and discriminated against for being black in the American public is normalized. But hey, it's far easier to put Trayvon in our 'drug addict' box so we can all pat ourselves on the back and move on.

It's not a partisan or race issue... the fact that it was politicized to be them is sad.

There was no racial profiling, at least there's no evidence of it.

I personally don't put TM as a drug addict, you can't be physically addicted to marijuana, and I don't recall hearing about him using anything else. I do however think he was a violent young adult, based upon ignored facts.

I'm no republican, and I still find the fact that this went to trial a gross injustice.

There are many reasons it did, and it does show any underlying problem. The fact that law can be ignored to try to persecute a man for a crime that wasn't committed, because people not involved in the incident made it about race when it wasn't, is a severe problem. The entire "identifies as Hispanic" line that has popped up constantly is disgusting.

The history of America, and even it's current system has a lot of racial issues. But this was an entire miss on retaliation (which is wrong in the way it was done in the first place) as Zimmerman is no more white than Obama.

See, I want you guys on my "jury of peers"

I see O'Reilly put his foot in his mouth again.

BLACK PEOPLE ARE SCARY MAN.

New story about Zimmerman speeding! :o

Zimmerman Pulled over OMG

"Zimmerman, 29, who is white and Hispanic, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter on July 13 in Florida after a racially charged trial in the shooting of Martin in February 2012. Thousands of people demonstrated across the United States after the verdict."


loooooooooooooooooooool it never ends

white and Hispanic, didn't realize both bubbles can be filled now.

Those two terms aren't mutually exclusive.

According to the hatebaiting company MSN, it can be filled.

Heck, they recently did a story where the only two groups of people in the world are "whites" and "minorities"

There are no such thing as "Asians," "Africans," "Hispanics," or any other group of racially profiled people.

Nope, just "us" vs "them"

The thesis of that article taken in full context is quite literally the opposite of what you're saying.

Read the thread, lol. Followed the trial thoroughly was glad that politics didn't decide the outcome. I knew the kid deserved it. I mean who calls 911 before they plan to kill someone?

It is funny all the idiots who hang onto the media as fact givers as their information on the case. For all the defenders of him, please show me the law that justifies me assaulting and trying to murder someone for following me.

He shouldn't have got out of his car? Counter argument says TM shouldn't have went to the store alone at night, walking in a gated community, in the rain. Or maybe he should have called 911 and reported the creepy *** cracka.
