I believe Braineack said "rob", not "get robbed at".

Twitter is going to lose this war...



"How dare Twitter fact check my lies? "
You don't get to claim "we are a publisher" while at the same time function as a content creator and expect to be protected under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Meanwhile, while they are focusing so much on conservatives and deplatforming them, they allow pedophiles and child pornography to run rampant on their platforms. All this might do is open them up for lawsuits against unfair bias -- for example, when they claim you are glorifying violence, then delete your post, when in reality you were condemning it.

How pedophiles are using Instagram as a secret portal to an apparent network of child ****

  • Pedophiles have been sharing Dropbox links to child **** via Instagram
  • The sick social media users advertised their content via certain hashtags
  • Teenagers running meme accounts have tried to alert their followers to report the offenders to Instagram
  • However some alleged they received messages from Instagram saying it didn't violate their terms of service
  • Instagram said it is using technology to detect content that puts children at risk
  • Dropbox said it is working with Instagram to make sure the links are taken down
  • A Dropbox spokesperson told DailyMail.com: 'We work with Instagram and other sites to ensure this type of content is taken down as soon as possible'
  • Instagram told DailyMail.com they are 'developing technology which proactively finds child nudity and child exploitative content when it’s uploaded'

Child sexual abuse images and online exploitation surge during pandemic

With tech companies' moderation efforts constrained by the pandemic, distributors of child sexual exploitation material are growing bolder, using major platforms to try to draw audiences.

If you can't see the difference in those two situations......you might be suffering from Tumpus Ballus Gaggiskus and may be entitled to compensation.

Are you suggesting it's okay to burn down cities, loot business, and incite violence when someone dies in the care of police?

but it's not okay to do the same when someone hire to take care of the elderly physically abuses them and robs them?


Am I getting that right?

Or is it that we have to wait for CNN to tell us which one is okay to respond in violence with?

Pretty sure those words are nowhere in the post I made.

The comment doesn't really require much explanation.

If you can't see the differences in the two situations you described you are purposffully trying not to.

So so it's only okay to riot if police kill a black person, regardless of how little we actually know about the situation or the actual cause of death?

But black people can do whatever they want with no recourse or condemning, because that is racist?

I'm starting to understand the morality now...


I think the comment needs much further analysis, IMHO.

Again, Those words....nor anything insinuating those words.....are anywhere to be found in my post.

But I'll give you a C- for deflection.

The differences are very simple and easy to understand by any rational thinking individual.....but very difficult to understand by those who are blinded by other things.

My comment requires no analysis....and neither does yours.

How about coming up with some guidelines to determine when it is acceptable to riot and pillage and plunder.

Or......How about we put some work into fixing the root cause of the Riots, pillaging and plundering.

I dunno....maybe we should try that.....because apparently the memes aren't working.

Now you want genocide of the black race?! wtf dude.


What I did there was suggest black people are the root cause. No need to guess.

you want to talk about deflection? Look in the mirror, bro. You still won't clarify what you meant by your post that three people now are questioning.

All we can do is try to interpret your meaning, which we seem to be getting wrong.

Then you resort to name-calling, because you have no defense.

I'm sorry....who did I call what name?

And your post #18057...WOW.....just freaking WOW.

I'll break this down for you since apparently you are unwilling to think about this on your own

You tried to draw a false equivalency between Jaden Hayden and the situation with George Floyd. Insinuating that one group of people is superior to another because of how they responded to the two situations. The DRASTIC differences are...The man Jaden Hayden beat isn't dead, Jaden Hayden is in Jail and Jaden Hayden isn't a peace officer of the state.

In no way did I condone...nor condemn any action in my post....I SIMPLY stated that the two situations are drastically different and I am now saying that trying to compare the two is ridiculous
