You do realize that if Hitler wasn't a genocidal maniac, he would of been remembered as the greatest leader in the history of the earth.
He was the most progressive leader *to date* when it came to the rights of women. In less than a decade he not only brought Germany out of a financial collapse that made the Great Depression look like a stimulus package, he made them into a world super power. That whole National Socialist thing wasn't just for show you know.
Compare to Stalin the actual communist who had more of his people die due to starvation in the 30's and 40's than were lost in actual combat in WWII.
He just happened to be fucking insane.

Anyone with a bare minimum of education regarding Grand Jury proceedings can see that in relation to police misconduct, the process is often grossly abused.
In my opinion, people were reacting more to a system that disproportionally targets minorities regardless of how justified it might have been in this specific situation and the fact that system as it currently operates allows Police to overwhelmingly escape any type of repurcussions for alleged misdeeds.
Of course all of that gets drowned out by certain media outlets inciting unrest a la Cartman.

Except that it kind of doesn't. It targets them in proportion with the disproportionate amount of crime that certain minorities commit. You don't see police harassing jews and most asians because they don't engage in criminal activity as often as other groups. As soon as we start seeing yamaka wearing thugs robbing liquor stores in large numbers, I'm sure we'll see the system disproportionately target the jewish population.

That would be a fair point if the studies didn't completely contradict what you're suggesting.
Go look at the crime statistics that were recently released in regards to Fergeson. Minorities were stopped/searched/arrested far more often yet cacausians were more likely to actually be carrying contraband.
Additionally, although minorities, as you suggest, may be responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime in relation to other races, the justice systems prosecution of minorities is disproportionate in relation to other races.
Using hypothetical numbers.
50 black men get arrested for drug possession.
10 white men get arrested for drug possession.
50% of black men are successfully prosecuted for drug possession.
10% of white men are successfully prosecuted for drug possession.

Since it was not technically a choke hold (the victim could speak) it was hard for a Grand Jury to hand down an indictment as it related to the charges. The criminal justice system does work both ways.

At the top of the circle you have moderates, the majority. They bounce either way based on current issues or lean slightly one way or the other. They can be mixed on different issues.
The right end of the circle is for Republican extremists, the left is Democratic extremists.
The bottom of the circle is where people who lean way too far left or right eventually end up meeting up in bat shit crazy coo-coo land. You can go right so far you end up left and vice versa.

You mean when your friend talks about their very real struggles with prejudice in life, you don't listen cus you think there is no such thing as racism.
ikr, white people so mean. pay no attention to teh 2nd term black president. we're all racists. this unbalancing and keeping the (imaginary) race war going is the only reason liberals even have a chance in any election these days. white people are going to be done apologizing before too long and will start pushing back. i can only apologize for stuff that previous generations did for so long before i run out of fucks

LOL at making this into a white problem are fed up thing and it's going to be a white vs black war or white vs other war... If you think whites are united in your cause well I'm white and I'm not. So are about 47% of other white people. lol.
war going is the only reason liberals even have a chance in any election these days.
And this is what living in the Fox echo chamber sounds like. The reason liberals stand a chance is republicans spent everything they had in 1980, 1984, and 1988. It's not the 80s anymore and the demographics are so much different. The young people today are such a massive cohort and they are far more liberal than the people who were 18-35 in 1980. The republicans have lost 5 out of the last 6 presidential elections when it comes to the popular vote.
That's reality for you. Liberals stand a chance because quite frankly, there are more of us than you - yes 40% conservative 30% liberal 30% moderate - except most of those moderates lean liberal. Democrats have 242 electoral votes on lockdown - of the two presidential elections out of the last 6 republicans won, the first they lost the popular vote and the second was a squeaker - in fact the only closer election was the one where they lost the popular vote :lol:
Really 2016 is pretty much a guaranteed democratic win - thinking otherwise is paying attention to Fox News too much and not enough to facts (I admit I'm biased on the far left, but I still know reality when I see it). This is why republicans have been relegated to local and off cycle election wins. Obama gave McCain and Romney massive drubbings, especially in the swing states. It's only going to be more difficult in 2016.
For example in 2012
5% in Colorado
1% in Florida
5% in Iowa
7% in Nevada
5% in New Hampshire
3% in Ohio
4% in Virginia
7% in Wisconsin
Really the only "swing" state the GOP won in 2012 was North Carolina.
I don't really see how you except to turn those numbers around. I think we can safely put WI and Nevada in the blue column in 2016, in which case whoever the democrat is needs only win Florida or Virginia and New Hampshire and they win no matter what happens....

It would be awesome if each candidate was judged based on a single blog to voice their debates and opinions. No propagating, no Billion dollar campaigns, no in debt Presidents. Fewer single issue voters.
300 million people and we can only field 2 qualified candidates? The decision is usually voting between bad and worse, which is probably why many people don't even bother researching.

First day of school this semester I was on the shuttle bus onto campus when I saw the two girls in front of me giggling about some pictures they took on their phones. I was curious so peeked over the seat to see that they'd taken pictures of some weirdo wearing a my little ponies shirt in front. I look up the aisle and there he is, a brony in full regalia and looking proud as hell of who he is. I went home from school sad for humanity that day, but also amused that bronies really exist.

What show were you watching?
Some people turn on Fox News, don't realize it's some conservative's talk show, and then talk about how it is so biased because.... they watched part of O'Reilly or Huckabee or Hannity or something. Or they somehow interpret 'we are talking to this Republican Congressman' as being biased, even though they have just as many Democratic congressman appearing and giving their opinions on issues.
Seriously though OP, state what you say that made you so upset and state when you watched it and what you were watching.
I find that 99% of people who bash Fox News, haven't actually watched Fox News, beyond the clips that Jon Stewart shows them on the Daily Show. Honestly though, their 'news' when they are covering news, is indistinguishable from MSNBC's or CNN's coverage.
I'm not saying that Fox News is this great news channel or news source or anything. Neither are ANY of the major networks. Just pointing out that most people who bash Fox News, don't really get that their normal news coverage doesn't have blatant bias and is just 'as bad' as any major news network. It just boggles me how many people are so outspoken about how horribly biased Fox News is who actually think their normal newscasts have blatantly visible conservative bias - they just don't.

Glenzig summarized it best: "There are no unbiased news sources. You are supposed to pick the one that most closely fits your predetermined worldview and defend it religiously. A neutral, unbiased news agency would get almost zero ratings. People like having their ears tickled."
That is why. Their liberal masters tell them what to hate and they do. Just like how the fox crowd hates CNN/MSNBC/etc but thinks their own station is any better. When it comes down to it they are all foolish.

To compare, CNN was found to have been honest about 60 percent of the time, while only having 18 percent of their comments found to be false. As for MSNBC, they were found to have been honest about 31 percent of the time, while 48 percent of the comments they had fact-checked were deemed untrue.
