Shout out to imbeciles who think that bidding to make a wager on an athlete’s performance has some sort of meaningful similarity to bidding to own a human being. Good fucking grief.

Oh, you stupid fuck. No, bidding to make a wager on an athlete’s performance, is not an example of “selling black athletes”. When you stop writing like an idiot, others will be quiet, and no longer pipe up to note that you are, in fact, an idiot. Got it, lackwit?

It is a common form of sports wagering. It is at turns mildly amusing to incredibly tiresome the lengths people will go to become offended.

You know, bidding to make a bet on an athlete’s performance really isn’t, except in the most superficial sense imaginable,  anything like bidding to purchase a human being.

I dont think you meant to reply to me. I have stated the bery narrow circumstances where violence is a legitimate response, and, no, disagreeing with me is not one of those circumstances.

The only generalization to make about human beings is to avoid generalization, and none of us know Tiger Woods well enough to make specific observations about his personality or mental state. Jack Nicklaus was a pretty good golfer while, by all reports, leading a very boring, devoted, family life. Arnold Palmer was a…

It is not a deflection to note that your historical ignorance is so towering as to make dialogue pointless; it is akin to trying explain differential equations to my dog.

Oh, for fuck’s sake, you don’t need to change their hearts. You need to clearly state that their ideas are evil, and if they ever go beyond espousing evil ideas, to actually commit acts of violence, or issuing true threats to do so, then you need to incarcerate them for a very, very, long time.

If it is extreme to state that the only legitimate use of violence is to counter actual violence, or the imminent stated threat to use violence, then yes, I plead guilty to extremism. People like me used to call themselves liberals.

You really believe that the only defense against radicalization is to target violence on those who espouse radical ideas? Are you completely historically ignorant? Good fucking grief.

No, thug, the only time violence is a legitimate response to political speech is when the political speech comprises an immediate true threat, like “Jews are the root of all evil, and should be killed, so let’s fan out and start killing them today”.

They’d be pretty easy to track down, tough guy.

This illuminates one of the most significant lies consistently uttered by protestors, of any ideology; that a protest can be nonviolent while physically preventing people from moving through a public space. The expression of ideas does not entail deliberately physically obstructing other people,  and the moment you do…

I’m going to barf if I read one more comment which flippantly speaks of waging or finishing wars, from a person who has never walked down a street littered with body parts. If you have walked down such a street, and are still making such a comment, congratulations, you are the dumbest fuck on the internet today.

Actual liberals, as in people who believe that violence is only justified by imminent threat of violence requiring self defense, are a rapidly shrinking minority.

And with that sentiment, you announce your strong affiliation with Nazi ideology, in that Nazis also assert that it is legitimate to target violence on people, for the crime of expressing ideas deemed offensive. Congratulations.

So says the Nazi who wants to use violence to silence political speech. How do the jackboots fit, Nazi?

No, you historically ignorant halfwit, WWII was not fought to “silence” Nazis. The United States, among some of the other Allied powers, fought WWII to destroy the German (Nazi) state as a functioning political, economic, and military entity. Nazi propaganda continued to be espoused, sometimes within the U.S. in the…

Why are you such a thug as to think it is tolerable to threaten violence as a means to silence the speech of others, just because their speech is offensive?

No, when you use violence and threats of violence to silence the speech of others, you, as a matter of simple logic, are NOT fighting for equal rights and protections. It is grotesque that this had to be explained to you. Wake the fuck up.
