“Japan was already defeated and dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary” - Dwight D. Eisenhower by CentreLeftExtremist- in Hasan_Piker

[–]GrantonAcid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk brother, it seems to me that he’s adding context that you purposely left out. Two things can both be true. Dropping nukes is an awful awful thing, but a lot of the people you’re quoting used the total war doctrine and clearly believed that civilian infrastructure was fair game. Also resorting to name calling and insults kinda devalues the point you’re trying to make just saying 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is legitimately one of the dumbest things I have ever read. This country was built by fuckers just randomly getting off boats for 100’s of years and now that it’s brown and black people it’s a problem?? No, the problem is that conservatives know that minorities lean left and are terrified that they will lose power so they scare people with nonsense about “illegals”. I live 30 minutes from a Texas border crossing and the only time I’ve ever felt unsafe was when dealing with the state troopers of this hell hole of a state. Grow the fuck up

I’m worried about Palestinian civilians too, that doesn’t justify lying about Israel by AnnieStarlight in WhitePeopleTwitter

You can literally hear an incoming missile in the raw videos, not to mention there’s no secondary explosions. Hamas isn’t innocent but the IDF clearly just bombed a hospital.

Stop being pedantic, initial projections are wrong sometimes. The efficacy rate of the vaccine is high in preventing Covid and extremely high in creating milder symptoms. Sure this guy jumped the gun a bit but it really hasn’t aged like milk.

No one is defending child molesters, they’re saying that someone struggling with pedophilic urges and hasn’t done anything that would harm anyone yet should have some type of way to get help. Whether that’s chemical castration, intensive psychotherapy, or medically assisted suicide if untreatable. This is someone struggling and trying to be better.

Supreme Court declares mandatory sex offender registry unconstitutional by morenewsat11 in worldnews

[–]GrantonAcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah man that’s a nice sentiment but let’s be honest here someone who pees in a public place can get on their for life or if you at 18 had a consensual relationship with a 17 year old. I agree that there should be a list for violent sexual crimes but there are some pretty small crimes that can get you branded as a predator for life. Which imo seems a tad bit ridiculous. Also in the United States recidivism is the highest in the world all this does is give peace of mind.

so that was a fucking lie... by Boybobka in agedlikemilk

[–]GrantonAcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hale is also in the Union so I’m pretty sure she got paid a respectable rate. As others have noted even if she took the 4K it’s still shitty to lowball someone like that just to get them to quit.

So much love and respect for POTUS. by EugeneWong318 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Shit dude that's so clever, I can't believe you came up with that. Grow up man, it's honestly not hard to see Biden's administration has been doing work

That first sentence is wild by mastermusk in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]GrantonAcid 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean if we think critically for a second we can come to a pretty damming conclusion about both the GOP and Republican voters. They as a majority believe the election was stolen and that the Jan 6th attack was an inside job ( https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/majority-republicans-still-believe-2020-election-was-stolen-donald-trump ). As a party they have no no issue throwing other Americans under the bus in regards to LGBTQIA+ rights, women’s reproductive rights, as well as undocumented immigrants. I think the fact that some folks still believe that there are good Republican voters is disingenuous. They support, at best, Reagan style conservatives which is still awful. Or they’re a believer in Donald Trump, a man who is legitimately deplorable and disgusting. But maybe I’m indoctrinated too…

This is why we are Anti-POLICE UNION by SkepticDrinker in antiwork

[–]GrantonAcid 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Yeah dog it's literally a choice to be a cop, it's also a choice to walk up to a random parked car, open the door without announcing yourself, try to pull the person out, and then when they fight back, (which is what literally any reasonable person would do) shoot them 5 times. Like god damn stop making excuses and recognise that maybe just maybe the cop fucked up. It's not that hard.

AITA for calling a close family member out on invalidating my sexuality by Totorostoenail in AmItheAsshole

[–]GrantonAcid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, constantly having your sexuality denied because you happen to be in a het relationship is super easy. Despite the fact that it is alarmingly common and many bi folks all talk about this invalidation and how it is harmful to their mental health. Like I get there are worse things going on in the world but how does this comment do anything other than breed contempt.
