I remember this website, and the commenters of this website, getting outraged over a commercial which implied that women sometimes ask men for help when buying a car, yet I am not allowed to get annoyed when someone implies that men kill more women than heart disease.
"His bit about how dangerous men are to women is great. It points out a truth (men are the leading cause of death for women)"
For 99 percent of people, she is the tinny voice that plays when we buy groceries. Her beliefs and politics are irrelevant.
"I don't think it's about how funny it is."
I'm not a fan of rape jokes, but I don't get this perception where the funniness level of the joke determines how right or wrong it is.
I don't understand people like you. It's always blame, blame blame. If we aren't blaming Zimmerman, then of course we MUST be blaming Trayvon. It could NEVER be that NOBODY is to blame, and the death was due to a tragic misunderstanding.
I noticed that you conveniently lopped off the end of that intro to the wikipedia page on stalking:
You're right, that is creepy. That is why I say that both people had a reason to be suspicious.
So, you're saying Martin had a right to be suspicious of George Zimmerman who was following him in a vehicle then on foot.
Nobody needs authority, as far as I know, to determine suspicion levels. You just do it, as you navigate your world. I never implied that Zimmerman had authority over Martin. Martin did have a legal right to be in the gated community, but that has no bearing on whether or not it was rational for Zimmerman to be…
Great Argument!!
I implied that Trayvon being an unfamiliar black male in that area, at that time (it's not a public space, btw. You can't put gates around a public space) was a reasonable cause for suspicion, not a reason to kill him. So the delusions seem to be coming from your side...
What? You think he shot him because he was black? His story about having his head bashed into the pavement was supported by his injuries. The back of his head had cuts and was bleeding. How did that happen? His nose was broken. Trayvon had no marks on him at all.
Literally anybody who talked to him regularly would have been equally good to determine the sound of his voice. For example, Rachel Jeantel was on the phone with him directly before the shooting, listening to his voice. Apparently they talked a lot. Yet she still didn't testify about his voice. Two family members…
Actually the 911 operator never ordered him not to follow, she just said "We don't need you to do that".
i'm confused
Are you joking?
I know you're just trolling, but I haven't claimed that Trayvon stalked anybody. As I said before, this is a tragic 2 way misunderstanding, not a case of cold blooded murder.
How do you define "stalked"? As much as people would love to define things their own convenient way, briefly keeping track of someone is not "stalking".
