Polls: Society & Politics

There are tons of white males that get their job due to favoritism of being white and a lot of times due to family connections. Just look at Hunter Biden, who is a screwup, but got a 7 figure job thanks to his dad. You will never hear racist undermining him getting his position for that.

Yet, I constantly see racist undermine the accomplishment of non-white males in the comments by claiming they are a DEI and don't deserve to be there. Many even state that they would question going to that person for their services because they deem them less capable than a white male in that same field.

this happened in 1989. Junko Furuta, a 17-year-old abducted after rejecting a boy, then raped and tortured for 40+ days by four teenage boys before her murder. One perpetrator's mother later vandalized her grave, blaming Furuta for ruining her son's life.

Some things done to her by her rapist/killers:
-basically gave her very little food to eat and eventually only gave her milk
- regularly beat her to a pulp
-burnt multiple parts of her body using lighters and matches
-burnt her genitals with a match
-gang raped her multiple times
-forcefully inserted metal rods and bottles into her vagina and anus
-forced her to dance naked in front of them

Before her death, she had become disfigured from the beatings, could no longer walk and had multiple infected wounds.

on 4th January 1989, one of her killers lost at gambling and took his anger out on her. He poured wax all over her disfigured face, forced her to drink her own urine, threw her to the ground, where she began to convulse. At this point, the rest of her killers joined in and bloody beat her up, hitting her multiple times in the stomach. They poured lighter fluid on her body and set her on fire. She made a weak attempt to out the flames before her body stopped moving.

Does / should it matter what TYPE OF ALCOHOL OR THE SIZE OF CONTAINER?

If you are supervising your own kids does that change anything?

Does the drinkers walking / mobility or being stationary change the equation?

Are there any other ancillary circumstances that in conjunction with drinking in public rise to the level of a crime? Ticket? Fine?

Is this just another anachronistic ridiculous moralizing holdover of "Sunday Blue Laws"?

*Some jurisdictions where this is illegal vendors provide a paper bag for you to cover the beverage that way their customers don't have any problems.

Kinda related but would a gay man have driven more MAGAs to the polls? More libs?

I have read that many people who have not shown sufficient respect for the memory of Charlie Kirk have been fired from their jobs at the urging of right-wing operatives. Will this trend extend to those who criticize the current Republican administration? If so, would that be reasonable or legal?

It seems that we might be finally losing our rights to free speech. Do you agree, or do you think this is an overreaction?

When someone, anyone, countenances or advocates committing violence to or even murdering a person by name, law enforcement should be authorized to detain (not arrest) them and spend the night in the can for questioning the next morning but no charges. THAT would cut back on the worst hate speech. Save your snarky responses. Its a good idea. Take the poll.

“Frankly, when you see stuff like this — I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the F. C. C. ahead.”

Quote B:

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it. in between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. on Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this... Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction. demolition, construction. this is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he called a friend. this is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

Jimmy Kimmel (who by the way is not creative, funny or original IMHO)

"Israel has no reason to stop the IDF created genocide. NONE. Their reputation is global trash. It will stay global trash and they know it. The world is distracted by the Trump irreality show and Bibi is the savviest operator of our generation - never let a good crisis go to waste.

Israel only needs one partner, and one partner alone, the United States, and at a more granular level, the Trump-MAGA Party. Israel will sacrifice ALL others in this ever evolving parasitic & symbiotic relationship.

Bibi / Likud's (there is no difference) primary plan now, is fourfold:

1) Continue to deeply intermingle Israel and America - so much so that you don’t know where one ends and the other begins.

2) Neuter the Knesset, the courts, the media, the arts & especially the secular electorate.

3) Fully scrap the Orthodox draft exemption under the guise of this 10/7 Hamas "extraordinary situation" while simultaneously avoiding responsibility for it's politically charged demise

4) Annex Gaza for development with Trump private companies in exchange for continued military, intelligence, diplomatic support."

This is a question i never thought i would have to ask.. But in recent the trump team has assigned the removal of slavery history specifically the bad sides of it from national parks and museums.

www.washingtonpost.com/.../

While the depictions and evidence of the literal scars of slavery are being removed from museums and national public spaces. Trump's team supports renaming forts back to the people who were on the side of the confederacy... let me make this absolutely clear. The confederacy wanted to keep slavery legal. To support confederate members and its confederate flag, is a support for slavery. Yes I get that some people claim the confederate flag is a symbol for southern pride.. but be real, its for the support of slavery.

Reinstating confederate names to Places like
Fort Barfoot
instead of honoring a medal of honor recipient that has no ties to the confederacy they chose to name it after a confederate army general George Edward Pickett

Fort Eisenhower
being changed to Fort Gordon, instead of honoring Dwight D. Eisenhower a former president who didn't support slavery, they instead chose someone that supported the confederacy. However with respect to Gordon's accomplishments in the war. Still Gordon was on the side that supported slavery.

Fort Gregg Adams
The current trump team wants to rename it back to Fort Robert E Lee, a confederate general. It was named Fort Gregg Adams, for Lt. Gen Arthur Gregg and Lt. Col. Charity Adams accomplishments in the military and they didn't have ties to the confederacy.

But I think you get the point.
Why allow so much confederacy praising in an america that doesn't want slavery?
