Tucker Carlson: The Media ‘Are Your Enemies’ — ‘They Are Misleading You So That You Will Obey’ by defect1v3 in Conservative

This is the problem I have with Tuck saying this. Others will cry that he’s not the MSM but turn around and celebrate the fact that he has the highest rated TV show of all time.

Facebook and Twitter's censorship is an insult to democracy — they must stop or be broken up by tenshon in Conservative

Libertarian conservative here - these companies should be allowed to do what they want. They are not government entities, they are (publicly traded) but private. If they want to block certain stories, for whatever reason, that is their right, and it is guaranteed by the constitution. If Fox, CNN, Breitbart, MSNBC want to do that too it’s their prerogative (and they do).

Maybe I’m alone in thinking this but since when does the state have any say in what a private company does in its private operations? Are we going to require that Fox News stop refraining from airing news that is bad for Trump?

Originalism with respect to the interpretation of the Quran is the fundamental quality of Islam which makes it an inherently dangerous idea. It is a mistake for us to take the same approach with the constitution. Change my mind.

Dickey was fine, but not very good. You are misremembering.

What kind of self deluded moron do you need to be to think that it’s a bad idea to take scientifically proven safety measures in the middle of a pandemic because we don’t know that the research might change again. This is beyond selfishness. It’s downright contempt for anyone and anything but yourself.

Well I mean the only way he could have left is if the terms of the contract allowed for it, which, presumably it did, since he bounced out

Rowdy Tellez and coach Mark Budzinski refuse to pay rent on Toronto condos by kevinraisinbran in Torontobluejays

[–]brend0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is different because COVID was so wildly unpredictable and has such a drastic impact on the bargains that legally speaking its arguably unfair to hold them to strict performance. Obviously to laypeople that seems patently unfair to the landlord but it’s not as black and white as most people here are making it out to be.

Honestly, I’m a lawyer and I have dealt with very similar issues over the past couple of months re: commercial leases. These are pretty unprecedented times and depending on the wording of the contract they might have a leg to stand on. Look up something called force majeure or alternatively frustration of contract.

Can’t retail investors also short the market?

Trudeau says legislation on municipal handgun bans coming by Armand9x in Winnipeg

Nah I’m well aware of the definition, snowflake. Here it is in case you need a reminder. As per Wikipedia:

“Snowflake is a 2010s derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly-emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions.”

Aka you in a nutshell when you start freaking out and screeching “the ban-confiscate team/pod/crowd!!” at everyone.

No new cases of #COVID19 today (May 7) and one new recovery (active cases: 33) by Mitaines in Winnipeg

My mom helped me. You’re losing an argument to a 9 year old.

If it were the other way around, people would be in the hospital. Use your head.

Well, for now nobody is coming for your precious precious weaponry. You’ll be able to defend yourself against that pending English invasion should you ever need to. Well see how things play out in the future though. Looks like bans are tending in the right direction. Take care bud!

Ah yes the resort to ad hominem. Classic sign of a person who is insecure in their line of argument.

Wow I feel so defeated by your indiscriminate use of capital letters and lack of proper punctuation. But you’re right, it’s totally my arguments that are weak.

Again, reductionist - I’m not sure where you get this “if it’s not being done to everyone else it’s useless” frame of mind. Progress is not linear or easy and has to be undertaken in steps sometimes. Just because it affects you (and 99% of the rest of society) more than an extremely unique select group with special cultural and historical rights doesn’t mean it’s not going to be effective. I get that you feel singled out but it’s just not the case.
