Nice way to supposedly honor George Floyd on the one year anniversary of his death, so civilized.
richiegtt comments on May 27, 2021:
To honor this criminal is a travesty ,name a street after him etc proves that this country is on the Down slide .

All the people I have marched with are peaceful people.
SpikeTalon replies on May 26, 2021:
Maybe perhaps the ones you personally marched with, but that still doesn't remove the fact there have and continues to be violent ones within the BLM ranks, those who have looted set buildings on fire and commit other acts of vandalism. How do such criminal actions actually honor the memory of people like George Floyd?
BLM does not give a shit about the majority of black citizens.
LaDizdeOdd comments on May 26, 2021:
Well, I've marched and I have never looted anything, hurt anyone, destroyed property, etc. I have not seen anyone in the groups that participated do those things. We had a march cancelled one evening b/c the organizers heard that an aggressive group of people (non peaceful agitants) were planning ...
SpikeTalon replies on May 26, 2021:
Still doesn't remove the fact that at least some of the protests connected to BLM turned violent, and Portland and Seattle are two cities that come to mind that suffered loss due to such protests. Last year in my home city of Allentown there was a BLM march near my residence, and I witnessed a few of the marchers attempt to pick a fight with my neighbor over said neighbor having an American Flag on his porch, and that situation came close to a physical confrontation. How's that for being peaceful? You can't blame that one on any rightwing extremist groups either. As for the college degrees, taking the time to mention such a point that had nothing to do with the original post is superficial at best and borderline egotistical at worst. Over the years I've personally known individuals who were supposedly highly educated and that had high paying jobs, yet they critically lacked in the common sense department, and for what it's worth the problems we face in this country are from alot of highly educated individuals in positions of power and authority (both political left and right) who had made poor choices in turn affecting us all.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 29, 2021:
The point is... society generally agrees that age 18 constitutes being adult, so if that means one could serve in the Armed Forces then one should also be able to own both long and handguns at age 18.

@Tejas I'm with you on that, far too much focus on the identity of the shooter instead of what motivated him to do what he did. When incidents like that occur, we all get to see the crazy and emotional side to humanity, people are too quick to jump to conclusions and allow themselves to be dictated to by their emotions.

@Mooolah You were banned because you had once suggested to ArtemisDivine that she hurt/kill herself, which I thought was appalling coming from you of all people. Then after you apologized for that incident, you were let back into the group and shortly after proceeded to accuse other group members of celebrating the deaths of certain Democrat politicians that had died minus any evidence to back up such a claim, and you got banned again. Even TheInterlooper took issue with that one, and he's among one of the fairest individuals that I know of on this site.

I didn't boot you from the conservative group, must have been one of the group mods. Did you by chance argue with Trajan, just curious? Also, if it's okay for me to ask, do you personally hold some conservative views? I pass no judgment on whatever your answer may be.
SpikeTalon replies on Feb 19, 2021:
@girlwithsmiles Sounds good. I unbanned you. It appears you have a good idea as to who is willing to discuss their views and who won't in that group, and probably best avoiding chatting with such individuals. Truth be told, I'm not a hardline conservative either, but find the conservative group appealing as I am fiscally and constitutionally conservative.

No one may act on his suggestion(s), but that was beside the point in the post, and I think his suspicions on the matter regarding Libertarians is misguided.

As for the source, can't say I care much for him either, but then again I'm skeptical that any of the more left-leaning sources would report on that though.

Most of those on the left would agree with the Libertarians on the social based issues. Lastly for what it's worth, I was never into recreational drugs nor do I have any unhealthy sexual fixations.

@Pralina1 Good to hear you think that was wrong of FireChat to censor me like that, and I can assure you that I did not push women to get abortions, only tried to make a case for why such procedures should be kept legal was all. Thought you said you could not access SLUG due to a firewall or something? You make an account on there or just browse the site? Personally I do not care for alternative sites like Parler or GAB, too many whack jobs on those platforms. I do like Minds though, as the creators of Minds are working on allowing content creators to monetize their efforts, and I have contributed cyber security/technology etc posts on there that received quite a bit of feedback from fellow members. It's not just about politics on Minds, and I like that.

I asked this elsewhere, but want to hear different opinions. How is an "insurrection" defined?
SpikeTalon comments on Jan 11, 2021:
Rebellion and insurrection refer specifically to acts of violence against the state or its officers. This distinguishes the crime from sedition, which is the organized incitement to rebellion or civil disorder against the authority of the state. What occured at the DC Capitol Building on Jan 6th ...

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 10, 2021:
@Pralina1 One quick question... A few years back I was active on a chat forum called FireChat, and once did a post explaining why I thought abortion procedures should be kept legal in the US, and that post got me suspended for three days. Nothing vile in said post, I merely offered points as to why abortion should always be legal, and it got me suspended. So my question is, do you think I was being a "dick" just for trying to make rational points for keeping abortion legal and that I deserved to get suspended? If your answer be no, then I'd say that your claim above that those who get censored on social media do so for being dicks is not always the case, sometimes someone may get censored unjustly, and I think that's the core of the problem when it comes to the social media censorship debate.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 10, 2021:
@Pralina1 I don't expect anyone to work for free, and that was my point, making healthcare an actual right will not solve the problem, the focus should be shifted to finding ways to make healthcare more affordable for all. I'm not opposed to a Government funded health plan, just so long as such a plan remains a choice and is not forced on anyone. On the taxes part, maybe we need to come up with a more viable solution to the problem than just more taxes? Apparently, the system in place currently is not doing not enough (system meaning taxpayer funded programs, people are still suffering despite the social welfare programs already in place). If you think you made too much money for just doing your job that you are embarrassed by it, then maybe ask for a pay cut from your boss? If you aren't willing to do that, then I'm not quite convinced you are embarrassed from it. We have no Doctors and nurses you say? That sure isn't the case near me, my local health network has a load of healthcare professionals that work in a huge medical complex. Becoming a physician usually means making a decent living, so I'm not too worried about there being a lack of those going into that field, and those coming from other countries to be physicians do so as they know where the money is at. Okie dokie, thanks and take care.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 10, 2021:
@Pralina1 You said the obvious, I know how expensive such medications and supplies are. Affordable care and a right to healthcare are two different things, and neither major political party has done much of anything to make healthcare more affordable. If you truly believe healthcare is a right, then I truly hope you are not making any money off of what you do for a living then? If the goal is to make healthcare an actual right, then we need to start with the doctors and nurses and other healthcare practitioners, they should all offer their services free of charge then. You and I both know however that will not be the case anytime soon, and you along with all the other healthcare providers should be compensated for your time and effort. Instead of focusing on making it a right, the focus should be on making it more affordable, as once it's affordable to all then making it a right would not be as important. The cost is the issue there, and not whether it should be a right or not.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 10, 2021:
@Pralina1 I'm not taking sides there, and I have openly condemned the riots at the Capitol on January sixth, as well as the rioting last summer connected to ANTIFA and BLM. What you mentioned in your last comment to me equates to a form of bias, depending on what political side you favor you will probably be inclined to take sides against the one you do not generally side with. I think both extremes are absurd and only helping to further the divide more. Regarding some athletes kneeling before sporting events, keep in mind the people who paid for tickets to said events did so with the intent on actually watching sports and not someone making a political statement, keep sports and politics separate. Of course, being I don't care for sports much, that whole debacle over athletes taking a knee didn't concern me much, I largely ignored that.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 10, 2021:
@Pralina1 In reality, no one has a right to either. Twitter may be free to use, but you have to deal with ads then. As for healthcare, that's considered a service, a paid-for service that is. I have a chronic condition that at times can be costly to maintain, but that is my problem though and no else should have to pay for my problem(s). That's called self-responsibility. Affordable healthcare is another topic altogether, and neither the Democrats or Republicans have done much about that issue.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 10, 2021:
@Pralina1 Yes. Is it moral to ban someone for expressing views that some may perceive to be "hate speech"? That's the real question that should be asked. I certainly don't think it's a First Amendment issue here. With that said, personally I don't care either way, the amount of time those on the left and right are wasting on that topic is anything short of appalling to me. If I ever feel slighted by a social media platform, I simply delete my account and move on to another, just don't see the sense in complaining about it.
As usual the mainstream medias sensationalize, the DC Capitol riot on January 6th was not a coup ...
DUCHESSA comments on Jan 10, 2021:
IMHO...and I have seen this strategy applied countless times...the 1/6 riot was performed by people who were not Rep. or Dem. No, was performed by people bought by the left to badmouth Trump. In fact, I would risk to say most of the participants were not US Citizens.
