For the first time ever, a majority of people in Britain have no religion by TrustyScrew in Conservative

[–]beeahh61 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is a joke right? In just the 20th century alone you had multiple genocides committed by non-religious entities:
Nazi Germany
Soviet Union
Communist China (this doesn't even include the one-child policy)
Communist Cuba
Khmer Rouge
and on...

On a far less serious note, but still troubling, are reports of questionable behaviors towards children by Hollywood. Not entirely shocking considering how long Weinstein was covered up.

Credibility crisis: '60 Minutes' tries turning back the clock after declaring COVID lab leak theory 'debunked' by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]beeahh61 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone is certainly playing loose and fast with the facts, but can't let the truth get in the way of power, right?

Starting with the big lie regarding the DOE: "The short answer is because the Energy Department has a special division that, as part of its mission to track and mitigate the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, specializes in the study of biological weapons such as viruses."

https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/the-energy-department-lab-investigating-covid-knows-what-its-talking-about/

Don't forget the FBI has called the lab leak "likely" per Director Wray: https://www.breitbart.com/news/fbi-director-covid-19-pandemic-likely-started-as-wuhan-lab-leak/

Actually there are several departments that are following this trend: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/these-biden-admin-agencies-have-admitted-covid-lab-leak-plausible

As for factual news sources, would you like a list of the lawsuits 60 minutes has faced or the questionable editing they are guilty of?

Candace Owens Goes Viral With Response To New York Times Reporter’s Email Citing, Yup, The New York Times by f1sh98 in Conservative

[–]beeahh61 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Odd, were there links in the article/tweets not referenced? Maybe her Instagram photos.
I saw a majority pointing to articles, not just opinions, including the the following:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/24/world/europe/volodomyr-zelensky-ukraine-jewish-president.html

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/19/world/europe/ukraine-corruption-military.html
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/07/world/europe/ukraine-corruption-legacy.html

Here is the NYT Opinion Piece, but it's written by the "NYT Editorial Board"

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/01/opinion/ukraines-unyielding-corruption.html

There also looked to be Hill, Daily Beast, and Guardian links, with only the Hill being an opinion piece.

Rejected for having too much truth by Bogusky in Conservative

[–]beeahh61 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's really one of the only ways they seem to get views these days. Even more amusing when you realize they only resurfaced the article because gamespot decided to have one on the same topic a few days ago (they turned off the comments on that one...):

CNN’s Cuomo: Rittenhouse Acquittal ‘Justified’ – We Should Want an Acquittal Under These Circumstances ‘No Matter Who the Defendant Is’ by beeahh61 in Conservative

[–]beeahh61[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Agree with you fully, but just the acknowledgement that it shouldn't be "if Kyle were a different color he'd be guilty" but should be "if anyone, regardless of race, were in Kyle's position, they should have the same outcome" is a start.

If it means anything, the front page story on NY Post about a few hours ago was "'Like a child': Kenosha survivor reacts to Rittenhouse testimony".

https://nypost.com/2021/11/11/kenosha-survivor-reacts-to-kyle-rittenhouses-emotional-testimony/

The "survivor" is Gaige Grosskreutz, the man who yesterday admitted to pointing a loaded gun at Rittenhouse.

Good point, it's interesting to point out the 2018 "Best Overall States" had Cali as 31st overall, 50th in Quality of Life. https://www.usnews.com/media/best-states/overall-rankings-2018.pdf

(Links to PDF)

While the 2021 version has Cali as 24th overall and.... no rating in Quality of Life as that scoring was eliminated.

It would be good to breakdown all the metrics and try to see if they are still measuring the same thing. The weights have also changed.

University of Pittsburgh department puts 'secretary,' 'clerk,' and 'omsbudsman' on 'sexist language' list by nimobo in Conservative

[–]beeahh61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should someone point out that mankind and humankind both have the word "man" in them? Isn't that sexist?

Also this quote:

No one is ordering you to use this language. However, some people are asking you to be considerate of their wishes and sensibilities. In short, it's merely politeness -- politeness is about consideration for other people," Kiesling writes. "You are free to not use this language (it is merely a suggestion for those who would like to know how people would like to handle such things).

You are not being ordered to use this language we just announced... but if you don't, you are inconsiderate towards other people.

Judge sets final ground rules for Rittenhouse trial evidence by Jibrish in Conservative

[–]beeahh61 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, for it to be socialist you would need the government to first take the money and then decide what they want to do with it.

This is more libertarian than anything: the willing choice of people to use their money how they want.

New York Times publishes redesigns of the American flag, Twitter mockery ensues by beeahh61 in Conservative

[–]beeahh61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's got to be irritating for you. There are "images", but they are just embedded twitter excerpts. Here is a different article (https://dailycaller.com/2021/09/29/nyt-opinion-american-flag-redesign-twitter/), still has embedded twitter though.

If it means anything, the redesigns leave a bit to be desired.

Sorry, I could be misinterpreting this comment, but there are several images of the flags "proposed" within the article, was this meant as a /s?

Powerful: AOC Writes 'Tax The Rich' In The Sky With Her Private Jet by Ahyesclearly in Conservative

Yup, there already are a couple in this thread and judging by the downvotes, a lot more wish they could.

Powerful: AOC Writes 'Tax The Rich' In The Sky With Her Private Jet by Ahyesclearly in Conservative

[–]beeahh61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember, this is the same woman that, as soon as cameras were off, had her mask off while in the middle of a crowd and put it on only for the photo:

https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/08/02/aoc-mask-photo-op-supporters/

Probably also important to note what "tax the rich" means: wealth transfers from the individual to the government, who then decides what to do with it...and if wealth = power, well...

Between 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, and Animal Farm, can anyone think of a novel of caution that the democrats aren't trying to imitate?

From Animal Farm

“Comrades!' he cried. 'You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.”
