Looked staged to me, or at the very least out of context.
None of it really make sense... and the easy argument is "exactly" but beyond that, the video just doesn't explain much about what was going on or who was involved. Whatever happened "before" the altercation has been edited out... and the random dude in the blue shirt who threw a punch just kind of slowly backed away, but no one really attacked? This is pretty tame stuff... Offline

Antifa and the left in general these days hate nationalism, the American flag to these people is like a swastika. It's pretty simple. He had a flag so they beat him, even though he was an old guy. The real funny part though, is that noodle armed fatty couldn't knock him out with a sucker punch. Offline

I added a bit more to my comment while you were responding, but it is really weird that this "fight" is going on and nothing is happening with the rest of the crowd really. There is this heated exchange, but it is really isolated, and everyone else is at a distance while someone video tapes the whole thing? Seems off.

Hardly relevance who is to blame. If you don't have money means you don't have money. The less money you have the more vulnerable you will feel. Then you start to wonder why it is happening to you and why do you deserve this. Then you start feeling unfair then you start to compare to others. Guys who don't do much but still get good wages...etc. Then when things blow up, you vent it out.

It reaches the peak somewhere between "a bit" and "modest" while it seems to get very flexible in the negative wealth or very wealthy. Class and wealth have zero to do with morality. It does actually. Morality is a luxury good. You can only afford it when you have extra to spend. The longer you spend in the poverty line, the more flexible you become with moral issues. On the other hand, when you have a lot of wealth for a long time, you are less likely going to share it. At least not equally and not without some sort of trade off. You would feel a lot more entitled compare to everyone else. Offline

Rioters do not act like normal, they act like a pack.
They basically turn into animals, which is why it's so dangerous to be at one. Offline

btw for people who don't know, they are having BLM riots in London too. British cops are an absolute joke of peace and tolerance, so it's not about cops doing bad stuff.
It's just about wanting to be animals without consequence. YouTube Video Placeholder

Quote: 'Imagine this, a nation that is set up with individual families that are thriving, that are healthy, that communicate, that raise their children in love have a better rate of becoming better human beings. 'Black men, it starts with you. It's done man, we can't be trash no more. We have to be better. 'You lot came today, you left your kids, and when you see your kids they're aimlessly playing, they don't understand what's going on. A quote from John Boyega's speech. Didn't know that black people were so passionate about conservative family values. Some news sites left that part out completely btw. Offline

I'm more moral than your dad. Because I said so.
If you want to make a point, great. If you want to make a point by insulting me when I haven't done a damn thing to you... go *** yourself. Quizzy said: » Asura.Kingnobody said: » I for one will never buy a Gillette razor for the rest of my life, thanks to their ad-campaign that men should shave their balls off last year. I had never heard of this... I went to YouTube. All I could find was a video of a guy "reacting" to an ad where (in his opinion) men were asked to metaphorically shave off their balls (masculinity). Is this what you are referring to or is there something more overt? Quizzy said: » Looked staged to me, or at the very least out of context. The guy literally got trampled by a mob, and had the flag ripped from his hands. It wasn't staged at all.

Do yourself a favor and read a little bit about human psychology and behavior. Bismarck.Laurelli said: » Quizzy said: » I'm more moral than your dad. Because I said so.

Ah yes, no "personal attacks" as personal attacks are made.
Seems someone needs to have a "the truth hurts" moment of their own. sudsi said: » Ah yes, no "personal attacks" as personal attacks are made. Seems someone needs to have a "the truth hurts" moment of their own. I've just topicbanned some people for it. I'm not here 24/7, man. sudsi said: » Ah yes, no "personal attacks" as personal attacks are made.

This is the exact same problem with XI itself. You can get away with making a million characters. You can't enforce rules with simple bans. Please don't lock this thread.
It still has potential for discussion! Viciouss said: » So uh, poor people are more inclined to be immoral? Come on guys. Asura.Kingnobody said: » Please don't lock this thread. It's in a section I can post in! ftfy And I'm not locking it, but if people can't stop being idiots there's not gonna be anyone left in it before too long Viciouss said: » Less idiots is a bad thing? I mean, topic ban enough people and there's no one left to post Bahamut.Celebrindal
