    Justice for Zimmerman

    By that logic, if someone got into a fight and got punched in the face, he could consider the other person as "trying to kill him". The face is above the neck, after all. He could be knocked unconscious and smack his head on something on the way down. He could suffer a concussion or permanent...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    To be fair, being a neighborhood watchman means you're looking for people who might be causing trouble and they may notice you doing so. Depending on the circumstances, some kind of conflict could pretty easily arise, which is probably why the neighborhood watch group doesn't want its members...

    If my piss got me drunk, I'd drink it too. Store it in the fridge after every urination. Wouldn't waste a drop. (I don't think the following images contain actual piss-drinking, but I spoilered them anyway for the sensitive types.) And a cow urinating on her calf. Thank you and...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    I'm clearly not the only person who has, thus far, claimed she wasn't his girlfriend. Every article I've seen that mentions Rachel says she was his friend. Anyway, this totally isn't something worth arguing about so if it makes you feel better, I'm wrong. Stating that this Rachel "went bacj...

    Sure, but we've known since the last thread that she wasn't. All I'm saying is that Rachel did a good enough job making herself look like an idiot without us having to resort to exaggerating the facts to ridicule her.

    Sorry, I'm having trouble finding any reference to her as anything other than a "friend". What are you basing this "best friend" claim on?

    Justice for Zimmerman

    You're aware that that particular video was not of a flash mob robbery, right? Social media announces a big fight, a large number of kids come to watch, a few fight. One minor injury, some yelling and running, no weapons (except a traffic cone, I guess), no mention of any theft or property...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Well, it was the media that made him a "public figure", wasn't it? It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. For the record, Hodj, I didn't give you enough credit for your explanation on how the media's portrayal of events shaped people's initial impressions on what happened. Sorry I got...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Legal question for those in the know: If Zimmerman is found not guilty (the likely outcome), can he sue the media for defamation of character (specifically NBC who misrepresented facts)? As has been pointed out, he's in for a rough time regardless of the outcome of the case, and that's...

    Wow, for someone who getsverydefensive about censorship on this board, that's a pretty flippant attitude. By the way, I am neither responsible for the racism on this thread nor the people calling me "gay". I have been nothing but civil and I make my points reasonably. What the fuck have you...

    A very reasonable suggestion (better than a separate FSR for sensitive types). Just wanted to add that I don't get what's so bad about being offended. I click on every spoiler, every one, and the worst thing I could possibly see will only disturb or disgust me for a moment. Then I move on...

    So... we should go back to separate schools and water fountains? Take away their right to vote? Go back to the good old days? Heck, there was probably virtually no crime committed by black people when they were still slaves, why don't we try that again? Abso-fucking-lutely. As a teacher, I had...

    Wait a second, are you saying that black people have been receiving "special treatment" for the last 50 years and therefore have no reason to complain about anything? Is this really what you're saying? I want to make sure before I can indulge in a good side-splitting guffaw.

    All right, here we go. Everyone's going to contribute their "black people behaving terribly" stories and videos to confirm to each other that yes, you're entirely justified in being racist. Before you ask, no, I do not condone any of that behavior, nor do I believe that the people involved...

    I love this statement. Racists will claim that their racism is a direct result of observed behavior. Ironically, they have no idea that their racism perpetuates and encourages said behavior, and the cycle continues. Expect the worst from someone and they give you the worst. That applies on...

    Shows what you know! French Canadians have the most backbone out of everyone in Canada. It's why we have our own unique laws and ways of doing things (although that's often a pain in the ass) and why we protest so much.

    Ha ha. Troll harder. I don't have a reputation to save, nor is anyone calling for my blood. It's not a ghetto, it's a very nice neighborhood. The neighborhood I grew up in, in fact. Parks for kids to play in, bike paths, nice houses, schools, the whole shebang.

    I understand you're using exaggeration to make a point, but there's no way that's more racist than hundreds of things that have been said in this very thread, never mind things you've read "in years". To be fair, what I'm suggesting is hardly a new idea. There are forms of criminal...

    I live in Montreal and I see black people every day, in my neighborhood and everywhere else. Every class I've taught has had black students in it. There's a black family living directly 2 floors above me, as well as in several houses on my street and in my neighborhood. Fuck your assumptions.

    "Hey, don't forget all the great things racists did throughout history! Why, you can be a racist and still be intelligent!" Racism is an exclusively negative trait. It reflects nothing good about someone's character. Racism, like religion (very muchlike religion, actually) usually comes about...

    You're almost certainly right. Like I said, we should have him live with a black family for a couple of months. Even if he isn't racist, he can be seen as going through a process which gives him more perspective on race issues. He can come out of the experience with insightful observations and...
