I'm a grown-up now, not a teenager.
I can assure you that I'm not into misogynistic music as a decision-making adult.
And none of those rapers are lifted up to be the leaders of the free world by enablers that will apparently excuse any behavior, whether it's sexist, racist, spitefulness... you name it.
then they show up online and call other people hypocrites.

I'm less of a Dallas Cowboys fan today because of Jerry's enabling of horrible men.You still watch movies and pro sports, no? Those industries are full of the most vile, despicable, people on the planet who treat women like garbage and second class citizens. Heck, just a few days ago, video surfaced of Ezekial Elliot in a physical confrontation with his "girlfriend", and he's been accused of much, much worse.
There’s a lot more than that one comment regarding Trump and women, but keep on defending the guy if that makes you feel better.I don't think he bragged about committing sexual assault. He just made a dumb comment. The other candidate however is much more similar to Briles. She tried to discredit and quiet the accusers of sexual assault and rape for personal gain.

Sometimes in life, you're forced to choose between hypocrisies.
In this case, I could either...
a. Break my own "no politics" rule on the board.
b. Ignore that while talking about our society's lack of care for the safety and well-being of women, we have a president that is an alleged serial sexual predator who received 60 million votes in a nation-wide election... AFTER he bragged about it.
I chose A.
That's a request for you to leave the thread.Is that a suspension threat for talking politics?
Unreal.To be fair, voters had to choose between 2 candidates. I would argue that the other candidate had a worse track record of enabling with how she has handled accusations against her husband.
Google "Trump sexual misconduct accusation" and "Clinton sexual misconduct accusation" and make your own decision. I would argue that the "serial sexual predator" term would be more appropriately give to Clinton.
We had connections to one of the women that was sexual assaulted, who absolutely had the goods that would have brought this whole thing down to the ground.
She lives in another state under a new identity.
When a recent arrest of a player was made within the last few years, she was found and threatened. She basically has gone back into hiding.
Yet, I know that the people at Pepper Hamilton spoke with her about her situation on multiple occasions. It was in the report that was never put on paper.
Agreed.
There was a time in this state if you were convicted of rape you normally got to "ride the lightning" !!! The reason for the change in the laws is far too political for this thread !!!
They aren't motivated to do so, much like the legal system, or Baylor... or pretty much anyone.Not only was her life destroyed over the rape now she has to hide... Why has the FBI not got involved?
You're. Still. Here.To political? We have passed that as you can see.
I'm less of a Dallas Cowboys fan today because of Jerry's enabling of horrible men.
Every day, I try to make the right choices for the right reasons, in an effort to not support bad people. Each of us trying our best every day to do that might have us heading in the right direction.
We're all hypocrites. The goal should be to be a little less so with every action we take.My point is, in a few days, weeks or months, the very same people throwing around the term enabler will start a Cowboys or other pro sports team thread or movie thread that involved people who treated women like garbage. The #metoo movement shone a light on an entire industry that's overlooked and encouraged sexual mistreatment of women. Hypocrisy.
This thread reminds me of all discussions of race that take place on this site.
I'll get PMs from people daring me to show instances when a certain person has been racist and when you send them links to dozens of situations proving it, it's #fakenews or whatever.
We are not a world of good people. We are a deceitful bunch with historically awful ethos.
Unreal.
Trump was accused of rape by the mother of his children, but yeah, Hilary is his equal on the matter.
False equivalence is a logical fallacy in which two completely opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency
To political? We have passed that as you can see.
and we're historically awful and deceitful.No, we are fallen humans, all scarred and flawed, who try to do the best we can to find meaning and purpose.
actually, it wouldn't, I don't believe.Will this be the first 10 thoughts to end up in the coral?
and we're historically awful and deceitful.
well, she testified to it under oath.The mother of his children later said she made that up, correct?
I don't know that I believe in the honest part. Not even a little.And beautiful and honest. All at the same time.
well, she testified to it under oath.
Sadly, women are often forced to pretend for the sake of their families.
We do have double-digit sexual assault allegations beyond that, though...
Had that thought alsoWill this be the first 10 thoughts to end up in the coral?
I don't know that I believe in the honest part. Not even a little.

About those countless sexual assault claims...I don’t think it is fair to have a woman retract a sworn statement and use it to label someone a rapist. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. I understand your moral passion, but you can’t destroy everyone and everything because of it. Careful.
So is evil and darkness.Then you are just jaded if you can’t admit to the benevolence of Mother Teresa’s hands, the generosity and altruism of folks freely helping out Harvey victims, or the heroism of selfless friends who marched to the gallows out of refusal to out their fellow Jews in Nazi Germany. In one account, a safe rabbi went back to Germany to fight the Nazis with gospel and enlightenment, knowing he would be executed when found.
Look at the beauty, man. It is all around you.
Just this AM I saw a story of Jewish teens saving a neo-Nazi from drowning. How awesome is that?

By 9am every morning, the world usually has revealed itself to be exactly what it is. I can't allow myself to take the blue pill.

On the contrary, I don't believe life is meaningless at all.You do take the blue pill it seems. You’re a nihilist. That sucks.
You voted for an evil, sexist, racist human being. I'm sorry for the way it makes you feel, but you will not be allowed to hide from that shame. Our nation is run by a human being that has zero regard for the law or the truth or brown people or any kind of class. That's on you and those 60 million.I can tell you as one of the 60 million, that I get real sick and tired of being made to feel like I am an evil, sexist, racist person because of the way I voted.
