The Oldiesfreak Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts III

[morgieb]

Which is why the Oldiesfreak thread needs to be bumped.

I don't normally like to post in this thread, but any one of the absurd things said in this post would deserve to be enshrined here. Put together in one post and I couldn't help myself:

http://www.nationaljournal.com/gay-washington/evangelicals-are-winning-the-gay-marriage-fight-in-africa-and-russia-20140123

Interesting article on how ultra right wing psychopaths seem to be spreading homophobia overseas as they've basically given up on the western world. 

Also interesting is that they are basically relegating themselves to the extreme third world (Russia, Middle East, and Africa) as they are also starting to lose the battle in the more developed world (Latin America, East Asia).

I guess in a sense it's scary because the extreme third world is gaining in population, whereas the civilized world is declining in population.

Perhaps this will be the model for World War 3:

Intelligent, educated, non-religious countries (U.S., Europe, East Asia, Latin America) vs. the wastelands (Russia, Africa, Middle East).

Not sure why I turned this topic into a world war scenario, I just think that's how it will eventually go and this article coincides with that in the sense that these wasteland countries are taking up a very different agenda than educated countries.

HS. They're responsible for giving Democrats one of the most embarrassing legislative delegations ever and have politicians and even Utahns acting like children over same-sex marriage. Not to mention the Mormons which Lawrence O'Donnell describes best as the racist, sexist cult they used to be.

What is politics but a succession of emotional diatribes...

Bridge collapses in Minnesota killing 13 people because of faulty gusset plates that had succumbed to the stress of all the weight and corrosive road salts and pigeon poop... and the bridge, designed so that the bridge fails if one component fails, collapsed.

13 dead.  Later that year, 5 Republicans in the state house vote to override the governor's veto on a gas tax increase to fund extra bridge maintenance and repair and the GOP goes on a witch hunt to get them primaried.  I believe one of those 5 remain in office today.

Boston bombing:  3 dead.  TWO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS!!

What is wrong with you people?

Something tells me if it was one of their loved ones' limbs that got blown off they wouldn't appreciate them being glossed over by simply saying "3 dead". Also the ridiculousness of implying that legislators voting against a bill after the bridge collapse already occured as being worse than the Boston bombers.

How do you think a Pakistani child might feel about Obama for murdering his grandmother?

That child would grow up hoping the operator of that drone would be beheaded, and if by some unfortunate twist of fate, the said drone operator ended up in the hands of the Pakistani Taliban, they’d probably behead him for making war on innocents in their land. What’s the difference here?

Impossible to say because not all Pakistani children think the same, racist.

This would be comparable if "Obama" (as in, the military) was going around Pakistan trying to kill as many innocent grandmothers as possible.

Obama is Commander-in-Chief, and the drone program has shown itself to be little more effective in avoiding collateral damage than standard bombing raids. And on numerous occasions has the US directly targeted civilians (Vietnam, Serbia, Iraq, etc) and avoided any punishment.

I'm not a fan of drone strikes, just for the record. I agree that they're not nearly good enough at preventing collateral damage. That said, if the US military had the same goal as the Boston bombers, Pakistan would be a barren wasteland right now.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Good Icespear.  You're not a fan of drone strikes.  I'm not a fan of the death penalty.  I believe terrorist acts can be prevented in a better way than killing the terrorists.

I find it odd that you're willing to accept collateral damage from drone strikes, which promotes terrorist acts and anti-American sentiment more than anything else we do... yet you want blood when terrorist acts occur.

Maybe take some of your strong feelings abotu Tsarnaev dying and apply it towards anti-drone advocacy or something.

The reason we lost in Vietnam is because we didn't bomb them hard enough, amirite?

That's nice and all, but it fails to address the terrorist acts that have already occurred. If we treat Tsarnaev nice and special he's not going to back in time and undo what he did. He still deserves to pay for it.

You're ridiculously off topic now. Drone strikes and Vietnam and whatever else is irrelevant to the original point. You think drone strikes help fuel terrorism. I can see the logic in that. Regardless, what's done is done. I'm not going to think a terrorist and mass murderer should get off easy just because people can always find some way to point the blame to America in the end. When some random American guy shoots up a mall, nobody waxes poetic about how it's all society's fault and they were the true victim, so why do it for a terrorist? If you want to have a discussion about how to prevent more Boston bombings, then I'm all ears. As for the one that already occurred? Hang em high.

If we make him "pay for it" he's not going to go back in time and undo what he did either.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I agree with all of these.  And Macklemore is nothing special.  I don't know if Macklemore's success is because of white racism though.  I think his "socially conscious" lyrics, sales and cuteness all factor in. 

Kanye is far more socially conscious than Macklemore, the latter has just taken on an issue that's basically safe (especially in 2013/14) and devoted a third of said song to insisting he wasn't gay. Meanwhile, actual intelligent lyrics about the systematic racism that pervades America today are rejected by the Grammy committee.

I think Macklemore has pretty uninteresting lyrics, but homophobia is still a major issue, particularly in the hip-hop and black community.  Plus, his music is just safer and more wholly positive.  There's a reason why he's perceived as more of a politically aware artist.

I like Kanye's music, but he does throw around the N-word and he's a fairly misogynist and materialistic in his lyrics.  I don't see how he has much of a social conscience outside of protesting for Kanye West's rights.
