  • Since the cop that killed George Floyd was charged with killing him.... what about the cops that killed Tony Timpe?

    So about a year before George Floyd was killed there was an altercation between the police and a white man named Tony Timpe. He was getting arrested and to restrain him on the ground one of the cops pressed his knee into Tony's neck. On the video Tony is crying and saying that he could not breathe and when it was all said and done he was dead. He died in the exact same way as George Floyd and the Cops were never held accountable, infact I am willing to bet that most of you dont even know his name. The reason for this is simple really, the media only talks about black people that get killed by the cops despite the fact that 780 non-black people were killed by the cops in 2020. If the cops that killed Tony Timpe are free and still in uniform the cops that killed George Floyd should be as well. Despite the narrative pushed by the left and black people, Police brutality is not a racial issue, it is something that everybody has to deal with. You cant cry "Racism" everytime a black person is killed by the cops and then just sit back and ignore the fact that most of the people killed by the police are not black. And you can try to talk about how blacks are killed at a disproportionate rate, and you would be correct, but you also have to consider the fact that black people commit violent crimes and kill the police at a disproportionate rate. Its also a fact that black people kill more white people than white people kill black people despite population sizes

  • What about the 780 non-black people killed by the police in 2020?

    Everytime the cops kill a black person it immediately becomes a racial issue. People start talking about Black Lives Matter, and then those people get mad when somebody says "All Lives Matter". Some people even claim that saying "All Lives Matter" is racist. This implies that they think that it is racist to support the vast majority of the people killed by the cops. Do the lives of the 780 non-black people killed by the police last year not matter?

  • Did racism really have anything to do with George Floyd's death.?

    The cops kill people and as a society we like to pretend that they only kill black people despite the fact that the VAST majority of the people that are killed by the cops. Its ignored when the victim is not black. While they were rioting in Ferguson after Michael Brown was killed a black cop shot and killed an unarmed white kid names Dillon Taylor in Salt Lake City. About a year before George Floyd was killed a white man name Tony Timpe was killed in the exact same way. There is a video of him on the ground crying, saying that he could not breath while a cop was kneeling on his neck, and then he died. The only difference is that George Floyd was black and Tony Timpe was white. If George Floyds death was caused by racism what about Tony's? When the exact same thing happens to non-black people how can you justify blaming racism when it happens to one person and ignoring it when it happens to another. In 2020, 780 non-black people were killed by the police. Other than the color of his skin what justifies claiming that racism played a role in George Floyds death?

  • Victim of Identity Theft, what are my options.?

    Last year my phone number, SSN and email address information was leaked onto the dark web and I am still trying to deal with the fall-out from it but I have hit a wall and I dont know what else I can do.

    I have filed a report with the FTC, I have an affidavit and I have put a fraud alert on all of my credit reports. When I realized what was happening i purchased Identity Theft protection and I have more alerts about my info being on the dark web than I can count.

    While this was happening somebody opened a credit card with a $2500 limit and they spent like $900, I only found out because I received the bill. I have contacted them multiple times, I have sent the all of the documentation that I mentioned, I sent them a letter provided by the FTC. They gave me another affidavit that I filled out and had notarized . Despite that they are killing my credit score because they are reporting the missed payments, they refuse to do anything about it.

    Should I consider taking legal action.

  • Should black people also ask their ancestors for reparations?

    Just curious because whenever we talk about racism and slavery we never discuss how it was so easy for white slavers to get the black slaves they brought to the USA. 

    The Atlantic Slave Trade was a business and other black people were the suppliers. Tribes would go to war with eachother, they would capture member of other tribes and sell them or trade them to the European slavers that then brought the slaves to the US. The reality of the situation is that it was other black people that originally took away the freedom of the slaves that came to the US and they were the first to profit. 

    And since everybody always wants to talk about slavery and blame white people for everything you should also consider this....In 2021 and between the Congo and nigeria (both in africa) there is still an estimated 2.6 million black people still enslaved. So... the score is Congo and Nigera with 2.6 million slaves and the evil racist Americans have 0. 

    So... if white Americans owe reoperations i think its only fair that we tax africa and make them contribute as well.. Or are they allowed to do that?

  • Most of the people killed by the police are not black, so why do we pretend that it only happens to black people.?

    Just curious because out of the 132 people that have been killed by the police so far this year only 16 have been black.  Last year, out of 999 police killings only 226 have been black. In actuality, most people killed by the cops are white. This is EVERY year.

    You can try and argue about how disproportionate the rate is but that opens up a completely difference conversation that include who kills the most cops and who commits the most crime.

  • Why do black people act like they are the only people that have ever been slaves.?

    Virtually every civilization that has ever existed was built by slaves.

    Even the word Slave originates from the word Slav, which were an Eastern European people enslaved by Spanish Muslims for centuries. 

    Before humans were easily able to travel the seas and reach all of the world slavery existed and during that time there was really no ethnic difference between slave owners and slaves. Indians enslaved indians, Chinese Enslaved Chinese, Even Nativ Americans enslaved each other.

    And why dont black people understand that they ended up enslaved because they were sold out by their own people. White Europeans would go to Africa to trade with tribes, one of the things they traded for were slaves. Tribes would literally go out and capture people from other tribes and take their freedom from so they could trade with the europeans who would then bring them to the US and Europe to sell.

    And while every black person in this country is running around calling white people racist they seem to forget that over 320,000 WHITE Northern Soldiers will killed in a war that made it possible for a white republican president to liberate like 4 million slaves in the USA. Also, today there are still countless black people still enslaved but ironically most of them are in Africa while we made it illegal a long time ago.

    Every race has been oppressed and enslaved but black people are the only ones still hung up on it and acting like the world owes them something

  • Atheists. Do you actually understand the meaning of what you are claiming to be?

    i see alot of people on here claiming to be atheists when they clearly are not so  I think its important that we discuss the meanings of a few words.

    If you just claim that you do not believe in the existence of a God or Gods you are an atheist.

    If you do claim neither faith nor disbelief in a god or Gods because you feel that a Gods existence is impossible for a human to know you are an agnostic.

    If you run around saying God does not exist and have a problem with religion and religious people you are an anti-theist,

    I am personally agnostic.

  • Christians, do you understand the difference between abiogenesis and evolution.?

    Just curious. Every time I see Christians trying to argue against evolution they start talking about things that have nothing to do with evolution, so it leads me to believe that they think abiogenesis and evolution are the same thing. 

    Despite evolution being undeniably true alot of Christians are completely against the idea of it, and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that for some reason they always seem to think that Evolution is science's explanation of how life was created when in reality Evolution has NOTHING to do with the origins of life.

  • King Herod?

    King Herrod's reign ended in 4 B.C, which is 4 years before Christians claim Jesus was born, so why does the bible claim that he was king when Jesus was born.

  • Does my cat have mental issues?

    So, if he is awake, he is almost constantly pacing, smelling everything, meowing and yowling really loud and occasionally if there is something on the ground he will stand in front of it paw at it for 10 or 15 minutes. He also rubs on everything and he sprays alot. When is no pacing he is sitting down, but he never sits for more than 5 or 10 minutes and then goes back to what he was doing. He follows the same path and sometimes when he is doing it he is so focused that he just does not even respond to anything other than physically picking him up. Yester day he did it from 10pm to 7am. I thought maybe he just did not like me for some reason because he pulls away when anybody tries to pet him but I no longer think that is the case because he does typically follow me and stay in whatever room I am in and when I live the moment i close the door he starts freaking out and when i get back he is typically meowing as loud as he can and when I come inside he acts like he hasnt seen my in years and wont leave me alone for 10 - 15 minutes. I know cats can get OCD and anxiety and alot of his actions seem to be the result of OCD and anxiety but are cats intelligent enough to understand things like that, is he suffering?

  • Black people, what do you think about this?

     In 2020 773 non-black people were killed by the police and 432 of them were white. The fact of the matter is that the VAST majority of people killed by the cops are NOT BLACK. 

    You can talk about how disproportionate it is, but if your going to do that you have to also acknowledge the fact that black people kill police at a disproportionate rate. 36% of the cops that are killed on duty are killed by black people.

    It is also a fact that despite the difference in population size, on average Black people kill about twice as many white people as white people kill black people. Its old data but in 2008 black people killed 500 white people and white people killed 228 black people.

  • When using long tale keywords for SEO do i have to put it exact or can i break it up into individual words?

    Im working on SEO for mywebsite and I am unsure about something that I am hoping somebody can give me an easy answer to.

    Lets say I have a collection of Officially Licensed Wonder Woman Merchandise and after doing the key word research it looks like the keyword with the most monthly searches is Wonder Woman Accessories. Do I have to use "Wonder Woman Accessories" exactly or can I use "Wonder Woman Apparel and Accessories" because that describes the collection more accurately and it just sounds better.

  • Coughing in my bedroom...?

    For the last few months, when I am in my bedroom I cough.. alot. Its starting to get really painful. Sometimes the coughs are dry, sometimes they are not.and i always feel like i need to clear my throat. I'm not sure what to do. Its weird because it only happens in my bedroom and i cannot figure out what is causing it.

    Now, even though the coughing doesnt happen much outside of my room, I am beginning to have other health issues. Fatigue, no appetite, chest pain, heart burn etc.. and they all seem to be getting worse.

    I know i should go to the Dr. but I just started a new Job and my insurance has not started yet, so I am trying to wait for that because if there is something actually wrong with my lungs i dont want to wait till the coverage starts.

    Any thoughts on what could possble be causding my symptoms?

  • I was just wondering if any religious people would be willing to try to explain what you think evolution is?

    I know religious people that do not believe evolution and I know religious people that do believe evolution and there is a big difference between the 2. Most of the time the ones that do believe in evolution are actually able to describe what evolution actually is. And the ones that do no believe in evolution have assumptions about what they think evolution is but they are always wrong.

    I think what they fail to understand is that evolution has nothing to do with religious, it is not, never has been and never will be used as an argument against gods existence, it does however prove the bible wrong, but at this point everything proves the bible wrong, so that does not matter.

    So I am curious, if you are religious and you disagree with evolution, without looking it up online somewhere, just off the top of you head can you please explain what you think evolution is?

  • Why do religious people think that "Evolution" and "abiogenesis" is the same thing?

    Howcome, everytime I see a religious person talking about how evolution is not real, they always try to make points about things that have nothing to do with evolution. Like, Evolution is not real because the universe could not just poof into existence! Did somebody forget to tell me that the Universe was a living organism?

    Or they say life could not evolve from nothing.. Did i not get that memo either because last time i checked, we have never claimed that evolution is was created the first life.

    lol, why do they try so hard to argue against things when they clearly have no idea what they are even arguing against.

    and a bonus question, mosquitos... in london during the early 1900's during war bombings people would go down into the subway system for shelter and mosquitoes went down there with them, no all of them obviously, but some did, and at that tiem they were the same species as the ones that were above ground, yet here we are 100 years later, speciation has occured and the ones in the tunnels can no longer breed with the ones from above ground, if evolution is not real, how does speciation occur? or should i explain what speciation is as well?? you know 1 species, isolate some of them, give them time they evolve seperatly and eventually become 2 species.. how does that happen without evolutiom?
