I'm pretty sure that protesting is a right protected under freedom of speech, and fundamental to being a free democratic society.

So, fuck, off?

I don't disagree, ora. I'm just quoting Clinton to show what a transparent liar krellin is.

@Lethologica, that wasn't aimed at you.

Trump's followers still following his earlier speeches:

Welcome to Trump's America where if you aren't a white male you should be very afraid.

Liberal fearmongering as usual. Liberals have shown time and time again that they're far more violent.

Yoyo really showed you how violent he (a liberal) is eh?

Setting one against the other is what the 1% use to subjugate the masses. Rhetoric aside, Trump (at the behest of Ryan and McConnell) appears to be indistinguishable from W, seeking tax cuts for the wealthy as the first legislative priority.

@leon, you do realize that Liberal does not apply to everyone who voted for Hillary Clinton right? Or that it's not an all inclusive word for Democrats? No 2 people will ever agree completely on anything. But I find it concerning that you're willing to classify an entire group of people as violent.

That is the exact reason this election was the disaster on both sides that it was. Because people on both sides, including the candidates, made sweeping generalizations and classifications about demographics instead of focusing on trying to fix the problems fixing the country.

You may not like "liberals" but you need to accept that around half the country does not have views that agree with you. And if anything productive is ever going to get done then EVERYONE is going to have to figure out how to get along and understand each other.

Facts are facts no matter how bothersome they may be to you, jmo. Who are the ones rioting on the streets and who have been doing so for the past few years? Not conservatives. Which political party's members have committed the most mass shootings? The Democratic Party. Who do most felons vote for? Democratic candidates. Now, I know you say that not all Democrats are liberals, but the overwhelming majority at least claims to be liberal. Fact of the matter is, liberals are more violent.

Can you cite those facts?

Riots? No, but I doubt anyone will dispute it.

Can't find source to back up mass shootings, but did find source supporting the fact that most homicides were committed by liberals. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/06/robert-farago/firearms-related-homicides-democratic-vs-republican-affiliation/

Felons are Democrats: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/jail-survey-nearly-34-felons-register-as-democrats/article/2541412

At least you can cite some of those facts. However can you point a definitive reason as to why the ones you cited are the case? I don't think there's much more damaging to political discourse than going into the discussion automatically assuming there's a moral high ground over the opponent.

Why? Three factors: millennials, Hispanics, and African Americans, all 3 of which are overwhelmingly liberal (not so much Hispanics).

Many millennials, especially along the coasts, have successfully been indoctrinated into thinking that Republicans are racist and that they're evil, so they obviously can't accept the fact the the most racist and evil one of them all got elected and so they throw a tantrum by rioting.

Blacks have been rioting ever since the formation of BLM and even before that with the riots in the 1970s. This has to do with cultural and genetic factors.

Hispanics, the liberal ones, have also been a violent political force recently, partly because the mainstream media has taught them how "angry" and "afraid" they should be.

Let me repeat the important part you seem to have missed.

You may not like "liberals" but you need to accept that around half the country does not have views that agree with you. And if anything productive is ever going to get done then EVERYONE is going to have to figure out how to get along and understand each other.

That has absolutely nothing to do with what I was addressing. Randomizer said that liberals should be very afraid. I was merely responding that liberals are far more violent and thus it should be conservatives that are fearful.

Whoosh

here's a nice comedy relief for a y'all

"3. Do not make targeted threads that are abusive or degrading toward another member, group of members, or social group. This includes but is not limited to posts regarding sexuality, race, and religion."

Claiming that a race of people riots due to genetic factors very clearly violates this rule, and will not be accepted on this site.

1. google genetics. you might be surprised at what it means
2. on culture: NOW who is making sweeping generalizations? Huh?

(it's you)

>complains that minorities think conservatives are racist
>conservative writes off African American issues as being a "genetic" problem.

MAYBE he misspoke... but if not that is definitively racist

There is scientific evidence that blacks produce about 20% more testosterone (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3455741) than whites, and that is definitely genetic. Obviously, testosterone is linked to energy, anger, and... riots.

Please nobody ban him. he's too much fun

"Yet scientists hypothesize that this violence is just one manifestation of the much more biologically and reproductively salient goal of dominance."

So... you're saying blacks have a biologically and reproductively salient goal of dominance?

"What Dabbs didn't address was whether this correlation was the cause or an effect of the environment these men found themselves in. Which is to say, are high-testosterone males more likely to become violent criminals, or does being a violent criminal raise a man's level of testosterone?"

Or that some other factor causes such a large number of blacks to be violent that it shows up in the form of increased testosterone across the board?

Note, these are not my opinions, but what I derive from bo_sox's article.

Yoyo, science isn't racist.

Also, I suggest that moderators deliver warnings by PM as well at the minimum because I almost never check my email.
