Their moms are way more open minded than they are.

   

@ Shep: Well what is your argument - you should know, shouldn't have to ask

AS for Caleb, I take someone saying that he can understand how other people see me as x, as holding that belief themselves. Otherwise why bring it up. Just seems passive aggressive to me.

   

   

Well., (and it was quite a long time ago) that I really objected to someone's adamant defence of a kiddie diddler and said something to the affect of "If you're so keen on them, perhaps you are one". You and a few others added 2 + 2 and came up with 7. To put it into context, I am a volunteer who helps out with little kids. As part of that, I get regular police checks on myself, which is quite okay but understand how deeply offensive I find it that it is necessary to do so in the first place and it is necessary because of the evil among us. It isn't a "lifestyle" decision, in my eyes, to be a pedophile.

Anyway, that night I was definitely set up by two of the highest hierarchy posters on here. I even had a message to that affect afterwards from another of the old time posters who was watching it unfold.

I was new. I was different. You didn't agree with me so therefore I am an asshole. This happens more often than you know on here.

   

@ PD: Jeez, now that really hurts. I was kinda reveling in being the bad boy. And saying I'm part of the system, man, that's hitting below the belt.

As for the hierarchy bit, I didn't bring it up. It also hurts that you would call it whining. I was just stating how I see things. Guess since I believe in collective responsibility, just spouted off on it in regard to the cop killings, I do bear responsibility in making the place what it is. If I really didn't like it I wouldn't be here.

   

   

I'm guessing we're going to get moderated back on topic pretty soon. So, being part of the hierarchy, we should probably just do it ourselves.

   

   

So, just for fun, I want back, first through my posting history and then to the "Mod Warning" that I received for telling one of the powerful old-timers to do the anatomically impossible. I was looking for "You are a Pedophile" (which I wouldn't say to a stranger on a board). Anyway, the topic is gone ... disappeared ... no longer exists. Strange that. Either there was a copyright issue with the original article (Toronto Star) or Hmmmm.

   

   

I would have forgotten it but another poster dusted it off. I have learned to just stay clear of a number of subjects.

It's sort of like marriage.

   

   

Because we're conditioned to see a citizen murdering a police officer as an assault on society as a whole while we're easily cowed into accepting the notion that a police officer who murders a citizen is just an aberration.

Nothing to see here, move along.

This despite the fact that far more unarmed citizens are killed by cops every year than are cops killed by citizens.

Part of the propaganda effort to suppress the notion of cops killing citizens is the fact that there's no requirement in law for police departments to report police shootings for statistical purposes.

Fortunately, citizens are leading the way on compiling a database on this topic and maybe we'll shame the government into adding this stat to the annual crime report:

Maybe if there wasn't an epidemic problem of gun possession in your country the cops wouldn't need to shoot so quickly. Get rid of all the private gun ownership and the cops wouldn't enter every incident already ramped up on adrenaline and anxiety.

   

Around fifty American police officers have been killed in the line of duty since that 'gentle giant' Mike Brown got shot in Ferguson back in summer. Just food for though for anyone who thinks that the violence is a racist/tyrannical one-way street.
