@raphjd said in Party of family values part 1 : @bi4smooth I'm sick of hearing about how victimized women are from body shaming when they do it to themselves and they do it to men. There you go, reading into things again - You're isolating the "body shaming" as-if it was only being argued that "body shaming from men" was bad... no such specification was made or implied. Body shaming is cruel and wrong. Regardless of the source! And the same is true for body shaming of men! I've heard far more MEN talk about "the fat guy" or "the guy with the micro-penis" or "the guy with 2 beer-bellies" or "chrome dome" or .... the list goes on and on... guys are far harder on guys than the women are! ESPECIALLY IN THE GAY COMMUNITY! Instagram is full of women using "face tune" and other techniques to alter their appearances. InformationOverload on YouTube and various websites out these people for doing it. They created an impossible version of beauty. This is indeed an area where Social Media has been harmful to society - especially they way "mean girls" (or "mean guys") can hide behind anonymity for the most cruel and harmful posts/comments! 2 ad posters right next to each other and only 1 is banned. That is because WAHmen are victims and men don't matter. A woman in a bikini vs David Gandy in a Speedo, but only one is body shaming. I don't know the specifics of what you're referring to, but here in the States there are some States and Cities where advertising using photoshopped models is forbidden. That is: the girl in the bikini can be beautiful but you can't have photoshopped her hips and breasts and still use it in the advertising! She has to be her REAL self! You can remove a blemish, or a stray hair - but you cannot alter the models "appearance". The same (in the States, anyway) goes for men - you can't photoshop in an 8-pack of abs, or grow his bulge in the speedos... you can't even photoshop out his chest hair (tho he can shave prior to the shoot)... Even during gamer-gate, it was shown that most targeted harassment toward women was by other women. A very recent study showed the same thing. Women are evil to other women and to men. You are awfully harsh on women... men are awful TOO! As you noted above, and I agree with: women are harder on other women than they are on men, and men are harder on other men than they are on women... but harder (aka: crueler) is not the same as being KIND to the others! It's worth saying again: Body shaming is cruel and wrong. Regardless of the source! There is no such thing as "healthy at any size" for men or "lovely and curvy" for men. There is no such thing as "healthy at any size" for women either... but that's a MEDICAL issue! (hence the word: healthy) Thus, it should be a private matter between a man (or woman) and their physician. The 80/20 rule is that 80% of women are deemed attractive but only 20% of men are deemed attractive. Hmmm... I don't know what to say to that... I'm often told I'm attractive, and I'm about 30 lbs overweight and have a bald head... I can't (and don't pretend to) speak for others... but I've been body-shamed for my weight and my hair loss... and I've also been complimented on both! I have outgrown the need to have anyone else's approval of my looks... the parts of my looks (my extra weight, for example) that I can change, I am working to change (albeit slowly - it's hard to lose weight at 57!)... the things I cannot change, I don't worry about... But I'm not a teenage boy (or girl) trying to come to terms with my body- and self-image! That's where the real damage is done! The body-shaming of people - especially children - who aren't emotionally prepared for the cruelty of the anonymous world. I go back to the statement above: "This is indeed an area where Social Media has been harmful to society - especially they way "mean girls" (or "mean guys") can hide behind anonymity for the most cruel and harmful posts/comments!"

I would like to see a comparison of how many people under the age of 65 died of AIDS and how many people under the age of 65 died of covid. I would also like to see a comparison of how much government money was spent on AIDS vs how much government money was spent on covid. I have another theory about Covid - which relates to the size of one's cock. They should keep a database of photos of the size of every erect cock for males under the age of 30. They can send this data to me for analysis.

When people get really, really old.. which is when they are over 30 - according to my adopted sister, their immune systems weaken due to many factors including age, and long-term use of various medications. This makes them susceptible to things such as the flu, pneumonia, shingles / chicken pox / herpes, etc. Now those same people are getting exposed to covid.. and testing positive for covid.. and anybody that dies who has ever tested positive for covid is being designated to be a covid death... because hospitals are commercial enterprises (hypocritically designated as non-profit to avoid paying taxes) and they get massive compensation from the government if someone is hospitalized or dies with a covid infection.

@raphjd said in You are all banned: I was shown a post on another site that said that I ban everyone who refuses to kiss my ass. Since I don't want this person to be a liar, you are all banned. As side note, I'm also working on finding a Nazi uniform that I can wear while I commit genocide. As one of your "arch enemies" I can attest that you don't ban people who argue with you (or even call you names!)... Personally, I think you do a good job of keeping your personal views (at least in the politics section) out of your "administrator" duties. I've seen you ban people - people who crossed the well-defined rules/lines - and, generally, also ignored warnings. If you were going to ban people for arguing against your point of view - or even beliefs - I have to think I'd have been booted out a LONG TIME ago! Then again, when you DO boot someone, it shouldn't be surprising that they express displeasure where they can... which won't be here! And demonizing you (as the banner-in-chief) is just part of their self-soothing ritual... after all, THEY couldn't have done anything to have DESERVED IT! It must just be UNFAIR! Again: as one of your chief antagonists, I have no complaints about fairness here...

@bi4smooth It takes a real douche bag, in the best DNC vein, to screech about dividing the country, while acting like a total asshole toward those that disagree with them. Of course, an ass clown that votes for Honest Joe would have no problem with this since that's what your supreme leader does. If I'm a Russina Troll, then you are Pelosi's snatch. I wonder if you and Creepy Uncle Joe share other traits. You are full of shit about every topic.

@raphjd I wonder if they will create a NEW Donald Trump when Trump wins his 2nd term in 2024.. or will they use the same old one.. which is actually the robot animatron they made of Hillary Clinton, but then just stretched a mask of Trump on top of it.

@bi4smooth Section 230 isn't needed in the US. Prior to Section 230, if they act as a publisher, they are liable for what is posted, but if they act as a platform they are not. We discussed the 2 lawsuits that made this clear. Section 230 made special rights for "big tech" so they could act as both. It allows them to ban speech they don't like, as a publisher but protects them from lawsuits as a platform. NO, I am not talking about the few limited cases of banned content by the government and SCotUS. Your type of conservatism is "but muh corporations are people, so they have muh human rights". Umm, liberals own virtually all of "big tech", or have you forgotten?

@likegoodmen Emanuel Samson wasn't injured or killed after shooting up a white church (reverse of Dylann Roof). When comparing crime stats with police shootings, blacks are the least likely to be shot. Whites are the most likely to be shot. As much as I hate the police, they are 18 times more likely to be shot by a black guy, than the other way around. We've had threads about this stuff.

@raphjd said in Ivermectin - the liberal hoax: @bi4smooth You forgot the AP story about 70% of calls to Poison Control is for Ivermectin issues. It was less than 2% and in many cases, it was asking for information, not about medical needs. The examples of "aggregators" not doing even basic homework on the stuff they're regurgitating are many and varied... on all sides. In a perfect world, we'd find a way BACK to making news reporting a non-profit enterprise... so that there was no need to hyper-inflate stories, and no value in click-bait! -- “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

@raphjd said in Unhinged Teacher Taped Face Mask to 9-Year-Old’s Face: https://rumble.com/vm67n3-unhinged-teacher-taped-face-mask-to-9-year-olds-face.html This is getting pretty wide-spread coverage - and I mention that because this is a 1-off case... a substitute teacher in a school district (Las Vegas) that is practically begging for nearly ANYONE to become a teacher due to shortages and COVID medical leaves. The district doesn't claim it didn't happen, and the "teacher" is being disciplined - but that is a "private" matter, so we'll probably never get to hear about the fallout... It doesn't make it right - but substitute teachers have done MUCH MUCH worse, and received a LOT less coverage in the media!

@bi4smooth We are letting in people that worked with us in Afghanistan. Obama-Biden Admin persecuted US soldiers who talked openly about "our allies in Afghanistan" engaging in raping boys aka bacha bazi. It's a similar situation with the UK. As for the article you linked to, it has some untrustworthy people as sources.

Don Le Mon may have black skin and kinky hair.. but he most certainly does not represent black people.. nor does he represent men. He uses them as a shield.

@bi4smooth As for the article, this isn't anything new. GWB gave us the Patriot Act and Obama expanded it beyond anything GWB ever dreamed of. Now the Dems are here to finish Obama's work. The UK's "constitution" only exists in your (generic) head. Several PMs and people running for PM have promised a written one, but they all lied. Gordon Brown was the last to promise a written constitution, but after becoming PM, he immediately backtracked on that promise. The Scottish government has been shitting on our legal and human rights via various laws and they are ramping up the draconian laws every time we turn around. Australia and NZ don't ascribe rights in their constitutions, so they can shit all over their people as they please.

@bi4smooth LOL, did you get your talking points from Rachel Maddow? Trump was treated like shit no matter what he did, on any and every subject, but Dems and the liberal media. When Trump tried to keep infected people out of the country, Dems called him a racist and had "hug a Chinaman" parties. I do watch a variety of sources, but I know that liberals have blatantly lied for their agenda. I've posted about these proven lies before. There is a huge difference on difference of opinions and flat-out lying, as we have seen from the left. Are you saying Pelosi and other Dems didn't do the "hug a Chinaman"? As for "follow the science" look at the asshole who is leading us and the bullshit he has pulled over the years. How many people did St Fauci kill in the AZT scandal? How many people is he willing to murder in a "global pandemic or 2"? Ah, so you admit that Kamala (and the other Dems) was extremely political with C-19. That is a step forward. Liberals made wearing a mask or 50 at once a sign of moral superiority. The same with getting the vaccine. Conservatives and libertarians wanted the freedom to choose. "My body my choice" as the baby killers love to say. Not surprisingly, they don't feel that way when they mutilate a boy's junk or force their rules on us. Science isn't evil, Fauci is evil and has a proven track record of being evil. If he truly cared about people, he would have stepped aside so he didn't distract from the public safety issue. He couldn't do that because he wanted the glory.

@bi4smooth Not sure what any of that has to do with you being a complete and total liar.

@bi4smooth Ok, dearie. You are just a piece of shit hypocrite.
