How we got to here

[heavenlyboy34]

There was a British ZippyJuan for awhile. Guess you're another one in the group.

Anyway, a lot of you British seem really asexual. Makes sense since most all your women are bow wow. What do you call them? Munters, I think.

:O

By the way, what is it with the seemingly disproportionate number of British posters here with either red bar reps or heading that way. There's Republican Guy, Dr No, ZippyJuan substitute, Cranston386, 56Ktarget (maybe), and some others.

It's a way to determine the value of this site. The more of them you see, the more important this site is.

you know, I don't know why I continue to read some of the threads here. After a long OP comment it immediately is turned into a race thread. This has nothing to do with race. Maybe that's the whole idea. Turn every topic into everything except what the threads about. Divert the topic, a common tactic used to derail the conversation.

Common because it is effective.

What's distinctly British about Zip? Honestly, none of those you named strike me as clever, witty, interesting, or British as the British people I've known...

Oh, definitely not witty or clever. This first Zip had a distinct British character in his writing. Sometimes he even used British spelling.

True dat.

True. But British spellings are used throughout Europe and occasionally in NE "educated" 'Murica. Zip (supposedly) has an econ degree, so he probably gets it from reading a lot of European and academic literature.

Yeah, I had this boss in the east who spent some time in England. Took on some British ways to try and be cosmopolitan.

So anyway, this boss is a prick and actually pride's himself on being one. Him acting British made him more annoying. I had this co-worker friend who hated this boss. One time my friends says, "Hey NCL, I saw the boss while I was getting some ice cream at one of those small stands. I swear I was going to go over and kick that f*ckers ass."

I'm surprised he did not kick that bastard's ass. One time, I was sitting in a meeting with my friend. This smart ass employee (different guy than aforementioned boss) makes some mild remark about my friend. The friend took exception and was sort of a hot head. He practically jumps across the smart ass guy's desk to grab him and beat the f*ck out of him. We had to restrain him. That was when you weren't fired for such things. Ah, the good old days.

So that's my usual tangent and boring story. Back to the regularly scheduled thread.

But instead lets go back to blacks are stopped more than whites and dilute the topic. That will get us somewhere

The race discussion stemmed from something in the article.
Eric Peters labors under the misapprehension that things today are somehow different from the way things used to be.
Whenever a self-professed libertarian speaks this complete gobshite, it is the duty of other libertarians to remind him (or in this case, the audience) that police have always, since the very first cop walked the very first beat, arrogated the power to stop, detain, and search at will.

Miranda v. Arizona happened in 1966. FIFTY YEARS AGO. Do you know why Miranda took Arizona to federal court? Hint: It wasn't because cops of the time were protecting the rights of the citizens.

It gets worse. Ever hear of The Wickersham Commission? It was a federal commission that made public, in 1931, for the first time, the fact that US Cops had been waterboarding suspects to get confessions for decades.

When we bring up the fact that blacks have known about this much longer, it's to point out that you only need to talk to a 70 year old black dude to get set straight on "the way things used to be". It has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the fact that guys like Eric Peters, as much good as he's doing in the libertarian world, has his head so far up his ass on the "way things used to be" front that he can smell his own kidneys.

Cops have never been good guys. Black people know this.
Any statement to the contrary doesn't just put you at odds with black people. It puts you at odds with everyone else who knows what's up.

People want power and safety and we also belong to a species that is tribal by instinct. I don't know what the solution is. Without cops, your neighborhood will still discriminate and gossip against whoever is different.

With cops, everything boils down to exactly two tribes: one with the power to execute anyone in the other tribe for any reason whatsoever, and one that gets executed by members of the other tribe for any reason whatsoever.

 

[pcosmar]

Yup, so will poor white trash and greasy bikers.

It is not black vs. blue it is blue vs. us.

Long haired ex-cons as well.

Though I do find myself unexpectedly optimistic of late.
and hope it is not too much disappointment.

Those who want power need to be kept in check by every other man in the street.
and every man in the street should have the power to do so.

it encourages polite society

Law enforcement is the duty of all civil humans.

It depends on what we and others consider power. There are people who think you owning property such as a farm/land, or making more money than them, needs to be kept in check. Another example would be an all white neighborhood not wanting blacks to buy a house there.

I really do think people tend to be tribal apes for the most part. I've heard about people (through rural gossip) that think I'm a lesser person for dressing a certain way and having a certain haircut. As much as I want to get rid of cops, I also understand why they exist. People are nuts.

People are nuts.

I have a different perspective.

People are fine,,in their many expressions. Government screws things up.
Though tribal is likely the best local government model.

You can thank "mad moms" and "protesting pussies", for a great deal of it, the likes of which are out in force around the world today.

Maybe one day our children will recover the sense we appear to have lost.

you turn me on AF.

Sir,
just how many protesting pussies does it take to form a Gooberment?
have you ever licked a tootsie pop?

 

[pcosmar]

^^ ah , yes

pointless posting.
