  1. Bakura, if we respect your right to be that thing does that mean you have no rights, and I can eat you? I mean you 'are' a sandwich.

  2. I think we should not generalize, as usual it is a loud minority of liberal (or at least "PC") individuals who are making a fuss. Lets not add to this moronic back and forth of labeling people to assign a common prejudice so that we can dismiss any argument they make by mere association. the "far right" says anyone with any degree of agreement with liberals are libtards, and the "far left" says anyone who remotely supports a conservative perspective to be an "alt-right nazi". It's impairing progress. Listen and weigh the costs and benefits, use your own mind and decide what to support. ...and it doesn't have to be all or nothing, most things in life are about moderation, finding the optimal point. Hell the best solution probably isn't even one either side is suggesting, if you have a better idea, push for it.

  3. Since the mid 2000s 'body positivity' has just been used as justification to hate and harass thin, large breasted, athletic, or whatever they see as "stereotypically attractive" (though they also say beauty is relative).

  4. This isn't new. They've just given it a BS name.

  6. wait...low apprehension does not mean low crime. It could mean they are just letting more criminals through. We really have to be better about using statistics to draw conclusions. Also, in point of fact, you need to look at how a study is defining things like "trafficking". It likely means in the broad sense of transporting humans illegally into or out of a country. Everyone knows there are busses, trucks, etc. full of people trying to get into the states. (Does not necessarily mean unwilling). Honestly, it is obvious you are intelligent. But your videos lately have really lacked the discerning perspectives I had come to expect. Please do better.

  7. I am glad you are talking about these topics because I was feeling like they needed to be said and I really didn't want to make a youtube series about this.

  8. I agree with you, I would just caution all of us who do, not fall into the trap those individuals fell into and become prejudiced against an entire group of people based on one or two extremists. AND ALWAYS CALL PEOPLE OUT when they use that rhetoric, even if you aren't a part of that group. Fox news, esp. but also CNN and all the rest.

  9. The problem is also with adults who think they know everything but know nothing. It's a universal issue. But people lieing, and others pretending lies can't or didn't happen are still issues.

  11. Expressing or implying an issue with someones health (in this case weight) is rude, regardless of if it's under or over your concept of normal. However, I constantly hear comments about "you need to eat", "you look like a skeleton (as hyperbole)", etc. (towards both men and women). But since they will be condemned for overweight comments these days, the former is wayyyyy more common. Of course if you are overweight you may not notice that, as you are recipient. people want to support overweight individuals and that's good. But where is the support for skinny people? More importantly, where is the support and compliments for healthy people? (Not just ones you know lost weight but work hard to maintain it?) That provides a systemic motivation to become unhealthy.

  13. hmmm... perhaps it has something to do with denying equal treatment, enforcing categorical identification & treatment.

  14. There are many reasons why the colour white is chosen for many things. I don't think race ever crossed anyone's mind. If it had, I am sure we'd have heard of this sooner.

  15. My favourite Australian who somehow also sounds like a local. As if both accents were applied simultaniously.

  16. Yes, all the man hating, and 'white people' hate is just promoting more division in retaliation.

  19. yet only a 1% drop... if it is more significant, as months go buy we will see. You can only hide/delay showing losses for so long.

  21. It's never fun to tangle with the police agencies. Especially when you have done nothing wrong. It makes you wonder how many innocent people they are harassing when there are real crimes to prevent/solve. I am glad they (the FBI) were at least polite/nice to you, I cannot say the same since they approached me as if I was committing a crime by sitting in my car.

  22. Equality is opening the door for everyone. ...it is also opening the door for no one, only that is being inconsiderate. If someone assumes your intentions incorrectly that is a mistake not your wrongdoing.

  23. The media (all of it, ratings and biases before truth. Is a crime IMO) is part of a problem. But for all of us, we need to think for ourselves , and stop stereotyping and labeling people. Does everyone on the left hate trump? no. Does everyone on the right love him? no. Are all right-wingers nazis? no. Are all left-wigers 'SJWs' or 'libtards'? no. Is every idea wrong just because a democrat proposes it? no (even if it is, chances are parts of it is useful). Is every idea good, just because a republican said it? Not at all (but again, there can be good thoughts within a bad idea). This desire to take loose similarities to throw people into categories as a way of creating a straw-man so that we can just dismiss their arguments, IS ABSURD! It just creates extremism and bickering rather than listening to other perspectives, compromising, and ACTUALLY MAKING PROGRESS.

  27. That's exactly what she said, acknowledge all aspects of the issue so the core problem can be better resolved.

  29. Fancy meeting you here. Though more accurately, the equivalent of talking to someone as they walk away not seeing, hearing, or knowing. But a surprise none the less.

  30. It's more just scapegoating than marxist. Hitler was most successful at manipulating people with it. Trump in recent history (blaming other countries, political parties, immigrants... basically everyone). Also, feminists, and right now every person who has said, "ugh white people", non-jokingly.

  31. While I can agree with the overall sentiment that many people are misusing the word, I think the 'sexism' of the generic situations you listed come down to a contextual basis. For example: Sometimes someone may offer to carry something a woman is perfectly capable of carrying with ease (on occassion perhaps more capable of), and the offer is made because of their being a woman and the assumption they cannot because of their sex. In that case, there is likely an argument for conscious or unconscious sexism. However, how often is that the case? Another situation is, some individuals were taught that when you see someone carrying many things (male or female) you should offer them help. Or there is the situation where the offeror is trying to do something nice for the offeree as a show of affection. Then there is a situation where a person is visibly struggling and they offer assistance because they are altruistically attempting to lessen a burden. (Or someone may be being impatient with said struggling, which happens all the time. Male or female) Alternatively, there may be a particularly cocky individual who thinks that carrying things is a good way to show off (to someone nearby or anyone). There are people like that, but it is hardly a norm. Only the top one could be argued for sexism (since it could also merely be incompetence). Do men or women need space carved out for them? No, just allow them to be them ...or strive to be what they would like to be (within reason).

  32. Sydney I think the example you are looking for is, "men and women go together like... " Penises and VAGINAS !

  33. NOW!? People have been saying this for like 4 years.

  34. The way Sydney turns her head to the side suddenly reminds me of HK-47 for some reason. It would be amusing to do an overlay and voice mod it.

  35. I am pretty sure it's not ok to be white, because apparently there is a resurgence of racism "but it's ok because white people are inherently flawed" and weighing priviledges with minorities is "competing" so no objective comparison can refute the sentiment.

  36. well, I mean... no, but it certainly makes the option that much more likely.

  37. That's not multiculturalism, that brought sharing of ideas, new culture blends, less war, greater stability. These people are promoting segregation.

  38. All they needed was to put rational limits on, but instead, anyone proposing them was vilified. Which antagonized folks and drove sympathy towards those aggressively mocking the concepts, or those legitimately hateful. It is fair and needed to point out flaws (in any idea) so they may be addressed, what has done well despite ignoring flaws? Not even (the much worshipped) capitalism has not benefitted from improvements resulting from critical analysis. If there are no limits to a grouping, then it is not a grouping.

  40. From my understanding of following the Kavenaugh scandal was that there was one main lady who had some corroboration with her story, but one or two difinitively false accusations that appeared during the conversation.

  42.  @kingmantheman  No that "just hit them" approach is exactly what causes more incidents like this. If anyone finds themselves in this situation act immediately. But take the appropriate actions. Stand up and tell them off, protect yourself, Inform their superior (or as high as necessary), collect evidence if it continues, then pursue legal action, contact the police, or talk to a supportive news agency.
