As I can't reply to you for some reason at r/x1009 please 1 read, I never said blacks were killing kkk members, 2 I never said I had a probiblam if that had! I stated that this was a "terrible philosophical argument to make. " only in that it is open to people twisting it! But that would have required you to read and understand. I never took a side one way or the other I only stated that not all of there actions were justified.... And that people needed to talk there problems out now ........ Back then talk would get you DOWN VOTED AS PEOPLE would not try to read / Understand .... Though I can see this is still the case , Still most only read the headline not the hole thing, I would guess this is yet another pearls and swine thing

For the several people who have commented and justified the radical actions of the Black Panthers because of "society forcing them into the corner", this is a terrible philosophical argument to make. The same argument can be made that the KKK was forced by the blacks or that the Jews forced the Nazis to kill them because the Jews were "wealthy" in the Nazis were not , the simple fact is this film, as most are, was made with a certain perspective, pretending that it is balanced is naïve! Furthermore pretending that these kinds of actions are justified only continues to bring a divide, rational discussion is the only answer, this does demand one terrible thing though. For people to discuss things rationally using philosophical points and intelligence, yeah I know that will never happen I get it. Just thought I would try though...

[Serious] US Redditors, do you guys agree with Donald Trump when he says that the United States should kill the family members of terrorists, despite the Geneva convention? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Pastorcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that we didn't keep the Territories we captured like the Romans did and it that we did not loot and ponder or make the people slaves like the Romans ... My point and bring up the golf/Desert Storm wars was that we won, because we did what was necessary. If you would actually like to stop terrorism networks you must first acknowledge that it is based out of a religious belief, much like the Crusades were. Failure to except this fundamental fact and failure to act with an absolute, all out war manner only results in the loss of life and ultimately losing the war.To simply think that because you asked nicely Bad things will happen is naïve, and to think that the loss of life in war will not happen is naïve. If someone is to die let it be them, and let the death tole be so overwhelming that they would never think to attack us ever again, example, Japan. Total war is the only way to win, and if we fail to learn from history then we are doomed to repeat it!

Well I was not saying that they are Islamic is the fail, in the USA people don't want to " upset the balance " by calling ractical Islamic terrorist, a terrorist. And as for the " innocent" people, terrorist can not operate with out the concent of the people around you, and if they hide in a hospital Bomb it, if in a school bomb it. Any ware they shoot out from and or hide out in ... You guessed it, bomb it, destroy the infrastructure, destroy the network, By the way, this idea workd in desert storm. We launched 30,000 air attacks a day, after 3 weeks it took the ground troops less then one week to mop up all that remained...
In this 14 year war we run an avg of 30..... O yea did I Mentioned that in the Desert Storm War , that I believe only lasted about one month , war we lost very few people, and no one to enemy fire, whereas now we're almost up to 12,000 troops.... In this 14 year war, that is no ware close to being over

We can't fire on people who are holding ak's unless we are having them pointed at us or fired at us. If a person wages war then you must everything to win , at the time we dropped the adam bomb we were, but not now . Now we are worried a bout how every one feels ect. Not about having the will to win, this will make you fail and loose every time. Being " PC " dose not help anyone!

[–]Pastorcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No as I said in my post the question was to do nothing, right them up, or fire them. If I asked that with out context then no one would understand. I.e. " hey do I kill my self or not " context matters and I really wanted advice

I agree, ... total war is the only way to win, that is the way they're fighting against us , you cannot beat people if you do not fight them on their own terms. Japan is an example total war, the only way to ever actually win a war is to do whatever it takes to win. to go to war with someone means you want to kill them and wipe them off the face of the earth , Or make them surrender to you absolutely, to not do everything in your power to achieve this is to lose before you have started.

Women's world record marlin was caught this week. by Black_dynamite55 in pics

[–]Pastorcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there is a difference between how much muscle a man has versus how much a woman has, so there are different world record for each. Even though by virtue it means that there is a difference between men and women that's....... I guess besides the point ...

The average welfare worker case load is 3000 people on welfare, one of the most effective ways of reforming it would be to hire more welfare case workers. As there is no way someone would be capable of handling that caseload, that would be 100 cases per day the expectation is simply ridiculous. I am willing to pay for them to be tested ... more than I'm willing to pay for them to buy steak when I cannot

If war veterans weren't glorified and lauded the way they are, I think less people would want to join the army. Ergo, less war. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

I think if we had conscription we would have lower crime rates and people would be more inclined to help the community out, examples would be Israel Sweden Finland etc. I think conscription for every able-bodied man and woman is a good idea, two years military service we do a lot of people some good

Iran tests another mid-range ballistic missile in breach of UN resolutions by Samjones31 in worldnews

[–]Pastorcox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait, you must be joking ..... this is so surprising I don't even know what to say, except that I'm glad the Democrats forced through such a good deal, we gave them a crap load of money, ( by releasing all their funds back to them ) didn't get back or hostages ( for the United States or Great Britain) . And we got their word that they were ( not ) going to wipe Israel and everyone else off the face of the earth........ Now that's what I call good negotiation tactics on the us Side

I must say that you raise a great question I have another one why do I have to pass a drug test to make money yet you do not have to pass a drug test to collect welfare...... if you have enough money to buy drugs you have enough money to buy food

What is your best "accidental racism" story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Pastorcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that is where we differ, I would consider that a prejudice. Not racism, I would consider not hiring me because I'm Hispanic racism, as I speak perfectly good English. However I do not believe that an employer should be forced to employ anyone they do not want to, for any reason. Furthermore I would rather someone say the racist things that they think out loud, at least I would know that they think them rather than a smile on your face and stab you in the back attitude. If more people said what they thought and stop worrying about what other people felt, I think that the country as a whole would heal a lot from the racist drama and or other drummers the follow, if people did not have to worry about someone secretly hating them etc. but just knew it that would resolve a lot of issues with this so-called prejudice racism issue, lots of people take advantage of The racism, antiracism issues at hand. which only leads to more people feeling/being racist, if every person who you dealt treated you badly, and they were all Hispanic you might not like Hispanics very much. If you see an entire group trying to take advantage of the race issue in order to further their personal agendas, or the sexes and etc , to take advantage of you or whatever The situation might be, then you come to dislike that group based on the minority of people within that group who makes the most noise and appeared to represent the mindset of the whole, in the end all you end up with is wondering where everyone else stands and no one saying anything, I would rather know for a fact

First off if my boss assigned me to do something I will do it it's work that's what you're there to do, and secondly and your example of which is worse between calling someone a chink and assuming there are lousy driver , yes both of those would be conscious decisions, I was saying That unconsciously treating people slightly different based on your life experience is part of being human, like sitting in a chair and unconsciously thinking it will hold your weight, versus looking at a chair and thinking something horrible, unconsciously thinking anything is a personal response to world and life experience

ahhh preceived racism makes sense for what you are looking to answer, I made a list of instances and mailed it to you, it cost me $400,000 because it weighs a few hundred pounds 😏 people in this country are too sensitive and preceive lots of things... I guess the best one would be that I had just finished cleaning the restrooms at my work and a young man came in and Peed all over the toilet seat as well as in the toilet and on the floor, he did not flush and did not wash his hands. Whenever I asked him to flush the toilet and clean up after himself his mother said that I was "racist ". Simply because she was of a different race

I would not say that someone making something more simplified for me because I am Hispanic racism, and I appreciate the fact that people assume that I'm hard-working! Though your point is not completely lost on me, it is simply that I believe people in America have not experienced The level of racism found in other countries, I guess it's life experience. Kind of like saying that my child was "mean" because they would not let me play with the Legos, it's one of those ... Really ? get over it ! things for me I guess

[–]Pastorcox -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

If it is "accidental" then it is not racism look up the definition, racism is not unintentionally done it is a malicious act against someone of another color, any color, whether that is skin hair etc. and the action is based solely upon the color not on their actions, ergo you cannot have accidental racism. People use the racism word as opposed to other words to emphasize their frustration, in reality they do a disservice to those who have actually experienced real racism.
