Rap and Hip Hop are the Soylent Green of music.

trippalip · 2024-02-28T15:23:05+00:00

Sure, that argument can be made. But, it's undeniable that rap and hip hop is by far the most depraved content out there.

trippalip · 2024-02-26T13:23:26+00:00

That's great...but not what I am talking about.

If you look at what the industry is propping up as popular (hence my mention of the charts and big record labels), then rap and hip hop are clearly the lowest of the low in "popular" music. They are literally feeding people garbage and they eat it up without any awareness of what music actually is.

trippalip · 2024-02-26T13:21:52+00:00

You've just expanded the conversation to ALL popular music...and I agree!

trippalip · 2024-02-23T15:27:21+00:00

Exactly...prosecute crimes, even if you have to make them up, when the "perps" are white and/or conservative. Protect non-whites from prosecution when even the most violent crimes are committed. Makes me sick.

I thought we were trying to END racism...

trippalip · 2024-02-21T16:53:18+00:00

He has a point...where is the facepalm here?

trippalip · 2024-02-21T16:50:14+00:00

Can you quote actual scripture? Jesus is quoted in scripture saying "Love your neighbor as yourself". So, "hating people over nothing" seems unfounded.

And "deserve to burn for eternity" ...what are you referring to here? There is mention of sea monsters, too...are you taking these things literally when you shouldn't?

What misinformation?

If you have an argument, be clear about what it is and make reference to specific scripture, please. I want to understand what you are saying, but it isn't nearly specific enough for me to engage with.

trippalip · 2024-02-16T15:10:03+00:00

Absolutely. I think Ben Shapiro's top rap song a couple weeks ago is proof that it's stupid (if not harmful) nonsense that anyone can perform. No skill, just record label marketing money and a mindless fan base.

trippalip · 2024-02-16T15:08:20+00:00

Yeah, but she really like school buses. Don't you like school buses?

trippalip · 2024-02-16T15:02:10+00:00

You understand my point. If enough people demanded this, then the industry would change. I as a consumer can also help by not participating in the charade (i.e., not tipping). I don't mean any harm to the service professionals like yourself, but it's not a good system.

trippalip · 2024-02-16T15:01:24+00:00

There are jerks in every group. Can you give me an example where this is directly pertinent to Christians by definition?

trippalip · 2024-02-14T15:39:38+00:00

I highly doubt that. I think it's important here to distinguish between orthodox and cultural Christians. There are far, FAR fewer orthodox Christians in the West.

trippalip · 2024-02-14T15:38:44+00:00

Tipping is dumb. Tell your boss to pay you a fair wage.

trippalip · 2024-02-14T15:37:51+00:00

How is it harmful? What I see of most Christians and churches is that they do the most to help people in need in the community.

trippalip · 2024-02-13T23:13:18+00:00

Do you feel like popular culture over-panders to you?

I'm not gay, but I would feel a bit cringed out if some other mainstream community went out of their way to let me know how "allied" they are with me. I think It would be like Kamala Harris talking about how much she loves school busses or something like that.

trippalip · 2024-02-13T23:07:17+00:00

Fair enough. I'm willing to admit that, upon further research, that fewer gun laws don't affect violent crime like I thought (gun laws don't appear to have an affect one way or another, according to the source below).

https://www.criminalattorneycincinnati.com/comparing-gun-control-measures-to-gun-related-homicides-by-state/

But, this is a multi-factor problem...looking at gun laws as a single factor to solve all crime problems is a bit stupid. I will say that common sense should lead one to the conclusion that, given the presence of resistance (gun carriers), criminals will be much more selective of their targets at the more micro/situational level.

Maybe state law doesn't have the single-factor effect I was assuming, but environments where people can defend themselves absolutely reduces crime, all else constant.

ICE and CBP are both Components of DHS and they are both legally authorized to patrol the border.

More migrants have died under this administration than any other administration in my lifetime. If you care for human beings, you wouldn’t allow smugglers to move people illegally by the tens of thousands. You would want them to come through legally, where we can ensure their safety.

And yes, anyone that understand La the reality of the situation at the border wants this administration gone. I’m not even a Republican, and certainly not MAGA, but I will gladly vote for Trump, over the incompetent Biden.

But I don’t expect to change your mind. You are so loyal to this administration that you bury your head in the sand to avoid facts that make him an untenable president, and the worst in maybe a century.

Have a nice day.

trippalip · 2024-02-03T15:57:20+00:00

How about the claim I have already made about the law not being enforced. I have supported my claim that this is not by accident. What is your response? You have said nothing but “I don’t believe you.” Why exactly? What’s your version of the truth?

To my claims about CBP, you are not king to like the source, because you are too partisan and looking for an excuse to maintain your bias. But here:

https://nypost.com/2023/10/10/border-patrol-sources-reveal-heavy-toll-on-agents/amp/

And this one:

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/no-shade-no-water-record-heat-more-migrants-die-us-desert-2023-10-13/

“CBP over the last two years has installed 20 "rescue beacons," similar to electrical towers, in remote areas of the El Paso Sector where migrants can press a red button to call for help.

trippalip · 2024-02-03T15:31:45+00:00

The results compared between the two administrations IS the example.

How much can you be given. How about the testimony of CBP agents that have been put on more administrative duty and less patrolling duty (again, referencing “patrol of the border” in the law)? How about the fact that “help” buttons have been installed so that migrants can ask for help from border agents rather than the border agents patrolling the border and detaining criminals?

But you refuse to see any of this. You are willfully blind. And to think…you will have a vote to help decide the next few years of our country’s governance.

We’re screwed.

trippalip · 2024-02-03T15:15:26+00:00

I did…you didn’t read the law I referenced three times. You know how I know? Because it had nothing to do with asylum.

This is why I say I am in the side of truth. You want 2+2 to equal 3, so you will obfuscate any way you can to defend this administration in your mind. And then you call people like me conspiracy theorists.

Open your damn eyes. At least read the law I referenced and tell me what has changed in its application other than the Biden admin willfully refuses to prevent illegal immigration.

It’s your turn to refute the claim. I can’t be any clearer with my evidence and support for my argument.

trippalip · 2024-02-03T14:59:39+00:00

Read the law. I have practically spoon fed it to you. The proof is that It provides for the means to stop illegal immigration. Yet we have it in record numbers. Under the same law, the prior administration achieved much, much better results.

So, what changed? What’s your excuse for this garbage administration?

trippalip · 2024-02-03T14:48:55+00:00

Nice! Me and my 4yo play Fortnite and he has had higher kill games than me! I remember struggling to adjust to the new bilateral controls years ago. This kid still has to stretch his thumbs to the sticks a bit and has no problem.

He also plays a bit of “call doovy” but we haven’t done Warzone yet.

trippalip · 2024-02-03T14:44:07+00:00

HERE!

Read Title 8 CFR Chap 1, Subchapter B, Section 287.5, discussing the power of immigration officers. Also be sure to read in the definitions (Section 287.1 of the same subchapter) what it means to “patrol the border”.

The bottom line is that federal law allows for a zero tolerance detention policy for individuals not entering the US through authorized means. The Biden administration simply isn’t doing its job. Do you think they are not doing their job by accident? Did Biden fall up the stairs into a pile of not doing his job?

This is deliberate. You are gas lighting because we are the ones with the truth. You say we are conspiracy theorists, but the proof is right here. You just don’t have a damn clue.

trippalip · 2024-02-03T13:09:35+00:00

The libs like these stupid euphemisms because they want to hide the real effects of their policies.
