    Robert E. Lee statue to be moved in Virginia

    Because history is more complex than that. So is the expression of virtues. William Lloyd Garrison was a hero for seeking to end slavery and a total villain for wanting to burn the Constitution. One expression of his ideas was good. The other would have brought ruin to this country in her...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    If only I had time to verify and address these point by point. Assuming all of these accomplishments are accurate. Are they all necessarily good changes? Do they tell us the whole story?

    Riots in Minneapolis

    They're even worse in Europe, too. Particularly in Germany.

    Robert E. Lee statue to be moved in Virginia

    I've already addressed these topics in this thread, but you've conveniently ignored the arguments I've made. I would only be repeating myself which is supremely annoying. If you want to try again, go ahead.

    I only take the one who swats back. It's a thing.

    Robert E. Lee statue to be moved in Virginia

    I have this way of making arguments, but they're only addressed with banal platitudes and non-sequiturs.

    Riots in Minneapolis

    Because they are purposefully keeping cells active to follow the leads, according to the attorney general. They are treating it like the first steps in a drug cartel/mafia sting. Get the little fish to take you to the big fish. Offer them a stay in prosecution, etc.

    Trump defends the cops who shoved that 75 year old man down to the pavement

    Oh yes, the one who ushered sin and death into the Garden would surely draw the line at pushing the elderly. Guy's gotta have a code :ROFL:

    God Is Still In Control

    He's still the Creator and Sustainer. The pillars of reality rest on His firm foundation. People can deny them and assault them, but they cannot be moved. A mighty fortress is our God...

    Trump defends the cops who shoved that 75 year old man down to the pavement

    Correct. I'm skeptical of mass media as well. The more media, the greater the problem as you recognize in your next point. It's more than a complaint. I'm disgusted by the high-tech mob. There are procedures in place for when a piece of evidence could present a conflict of interest to a...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    That does not prove their nonexistence. Non-denominational Churches are autonomous, but they share articles of faith and have very real brick and mortar buildings you (presumably) and I could drive to at a moment's notice. Non-denominational church leaders and members behave similarly in the...

    Trump defends the cops who shoved that 75 year old man down to the pavement

    This is why I chose the term "over-reliance." I think video was helpful in that circumstance, but given the falling action, I think there should be a law that puts videos of this kind in an evidence locker until a public trial where the video is considered alongside relevant facts.

    Riots in Minneapolis

    Antifa certainly exists. There are pictures, interviews, videos, and so forth. There is a whole, semi-scholarly history written about the movement. This is like saying the KKK doesn't exist.

    Trump defends the cops who shoved that 75 year old man down to the pavement

    One thing I despise about our era is our over-reliance on video to tell the whole story and total impatience. The sad part is that people don't really want justice. If they did, they would wait for the facts to emerge after a fair trial. No. We want revolutionary tribunals at the court of twitter.
