Eventually, things settled down as we got older, but if you look at it objectively, it's still technically harassment. So, honestly, he might actually have a point here. 🙂

I mean, let’s be real, even the boys weren't exactly escaping the brunt of the drama back then either. 🙂

Sure, that's one thing for middle school, but what happens when you're in your 20s at work and some coworker slaps you on the ass while walking by and just laughs about it? 😁 🤣

wiredfalcon2 said:Of course you jumped straight to saying women are gross too and society is hypocritical. Even though 99% of sexual crimes are committed by men, and women account for 30% of reported sexual assaults (not necessarily rape), and 99% of sexual harassment cases involve women. But sure, society is hypocritical and women are terrible, let's not forget that.

🤣

ironpanther5 said:There was this wild story blowing up in the news over in the States about two women who basically trapped some guy in his car, handcuffed him, wouldn't let him out, and then went all in on him.

The comment section was a total circus; you had the guys acting like lucky bastards, wondering why they haven't had that kind of luck yet, while the women were busy chirping about how it’s physically impossible to rape a man—clearly making some snide little jab about an erection, I guess—and just giggling about it.
On the flip side, if you dared to point out that there are plenty of women who have experienced orgasms during sexual assaults, they’d probably lose their minds.

But honestly, nothing beats those infuriating cases where some teacher assaults a sixteen-year-old student, and everyone acts completely shocked that it's considered a criminal offense. That’s when you really see how twisted people can be.
The men are practically cheering because they’ve all fantasized about hooking up with their teachers, and the women act totally bewildered, claiming he got what he wanted, that he wasn't forced, or that he's old enough to know better.

That’s the moment you truly lose faith in humanity; they just don't seem to grasp that when you send your kid off to school—even if they're a senior in high school—you aren't sending them there to be screwed by someone in a position of authority.

It doesn't matter what any teenager might think they want in the heat of the moment. A school is meant for learning, not some freaking nightclub.

And double standards? Don't even get me started. There are plenty of guys out there paying child support for kids that aren't even theirs—kids from some lover's affair, for example. 🙄

Honestly, who actually has that kind of raw, unbridled energy? It’s like a heightened state of constant alertness. When I was just a kid, I had a German Shepherd and what I think might have been a buffalo, and good grief, trying to wrestle with him was an absolute nightmare. 🤣

Everything’s just become so twisted lately. You’ve got piles of degenerates owning dogs today without having a single clue how to handle them—not to mention letting 100-pound beasts run loose without a leash and leaving their crap everywhere. Here's the latest disaster:

hiddencyclist112 said:There is so much more to come, and frankly, we haven't even begun to grasp the caliber of the generations that have grown up and finally stepped onto the stage. This is especially true in certain pockets of the country—places like specific cities in the Deep South—where society has turned a blind eye to blatant social dysfunction for years. In these areas, children were raised with completely warped norms regarding behavior and what is considered acceptable versus taboo. The types of individuals who would be pushed to the fringes of a functional society are, instead, the ones holding power here; they are the ones being questioned, and the very people shaping our daily reality. When you combine poor parenting with even worse offspring, you get a recipe for disaster. To make matters worse, there is absolutely no systemic accountability or rule of law to speak of. It is truly a tragedy. There was once such immense potential here...

God, man, why are you so hung up on those coastal towns? The crime rate is way higher in places like the suburbs of Miami, for instance. But I guess you can't live without that specific coastal vibe and their "unique" sense of morality. Yeah, sure—because nothing says "proper values" like women and kids throwing rocks at players in the stands because they're "passionate," or constantly booing players based on their skin color. Truly top-tier social standards right there.

Noah Roberts46 said:God, Bob is such an exhausting guy.

Finally, we won't have to deal with this fake nonsense anymore.

If this were a functional country, he’d have been behind bars ages ago for tax evasion.

Paul Sanders5 said:I’m not even losing sleep over Kolinda. Honestly, people like her always end up landing some cushy gig in the European Union anyway. It'll be the exact same story for Plenković once he loses his seat—they won't give a damn about the fallout 😁

Oh, obviously—they don't give a single fuck about the people here in America or our own damn country. 🤣

Paul Sanders5 said:Look, Vaso can drag his 30% of supporters along for the ride, but he can't force you to vote for him.😁

People walk up to the betting window and just write down whatever random nonsense they feel like—it’s basically a joke at this point. 🤣🤣

Rachel Cooper3 said:Perhaps this entire thing was orchestrated—a deliberate loss intended to maintain government stability.
Even Zoran's people are raising their hands in Congress to support Andrej Plenković. ☕

I wouldn't rule it out.

Her behavior lately has been quite strange.

After the next election, we might finally see what anyone with half a brain can already figure out—the Republican Party and the Democrats forming a coalition, supposedly "for the good and stability of the country." ☕

That's when all the masks finally slip, and you realize they're just two heads on the same snake.

ruggedjackal46 said:The whole foundation of marriage is about supporting the lesser evil, as you can clearly see.☕ 😁

Fuck, did Kolinda really manage to lose an election she should have won against a political corpse like Zoran Milanović? You have to be a total genius to pull that off.🙏

I honestly can't believe that guy is making a comeback too—it’s like he's the only cure for this country's political fever. Fingers crossed he doesn't end up having enough sway to jack up our taxes again and sink us under $12 billion in debt. God, Americans are a sick bunch, voting for some shady character who protects killers... and don't even get me started on the blonde, once she opens her mouth, it's game over.

ruggedjackal46 said:The real issue with privatization isn't that the socialists were running the show; it’s that they handed the keys over to nothing but thieves.

And honestly, that’s facts—but here’s the kicker: why hasn't anyone actually opened an investigation into all those 90s sell-offs now that that absolute monster, the root of every single problem we have, is finally gone? Where's the deep dive into where all that money actually came from? We swap out politicians like we're changing clothes, but the habit of sweeping everything under the rug just keeps going. And what about the massive looting during the 2000s? Does that just not count?

Larry Fox5 said:It’s not ridiculous at all. He’s basically the embodiment of the "values" that built this nation—values that are still baked deep into our society today. I don't even know what "new direction" you're talking about, because the mindset hasn't shifted one bit since the nineties.
And who was the Mayor back in 2020? It was Bloomberg—after how many terms?!
What kind of "direction" are we even discussing when 90% of privatization is still a mess or just swept under the rug by laws rigged to fit certain people?

We’re such an infantile nation that we can’t even face his legacy honestly—and how could we, when we’re still dragging around baggage from seventy years ago like a weight around our necks?

Buddy, you can't plant crap in a field and expect to harvest golden wheat.

The mindset is actually way worse now than it was in the nineties—just look at Congress then versus now. It’s disgusting, really, this constant kicking of a dead man, acting like he's the sole cause of everything. It’s like people are being told who to vote for, or just to stay home on the couch and whine.

If they were so righteous, why didn't Clinton or the old administration launch investigations into those nineties privatizations when they actually held the power?
(God, these depressed people... I'm so over this whole mess)

ironpanther5 said:Back in the Reagan era, the crew was undoubtedly top-tier, but then he just completely botched the direction of everything. Look, a country is basically just a rudderless ship; you steer it one way, and you’re stuck dealing with the consequences twenty years down the line. That’s why we’re being overtaken by places like Botswana—they probably just had a much better hand at the wheel.

I’ll give Reagan credit for a few things: he tried to build a nation without dragging all those WWII divisions back into the light, he made his stance clear against the extremists, and he actually worked with everyone from the diaspora to the local tough guys. He kept the big aggressors at bay on every front, peacefully reclaimed the Eastern territories, and even attempted to integrate people in those regions while offering an olive branch for reconciliation. He pointed us toward global integration and led a government of national unity. Honestly, we had better relations with the old America during his time than Biden or Clinton have with the current administration today.

Everything people are losing their minds over in 2020 is stuff he was actually trying to settle back in the 90s. The guy essentially defeated fascism twice—once in '45 and again in '95.

Those are his wins, regardless of what anyone thinks of him. I won't even get into the negatives because we all know the deal, but it’s pretty ironic that he’s been in the ground for twenty years and we’re still blaming him for our current mess. I'm pretty indifferent to the whole thing based on what you've all said; I wouldn't go building any monuments for him except maybe in the Grand Bazaar, though I still call the airport JFK Airport.

Now it's somehow his fault that citizens can't move past these old debates, that they vote for people who clearly won't implement reforms, or that the judicial system is a complete wreck.

Give me a break; after him, we finally stepped out of isolation, turned a new leaf, and gained access to the IMF and international credit, yet here we are, seemingly incapable of running a country properly.

He was the Joker, and the average American is just a tiny, helpless Batman.

👍

Anthony Jackson2 said:None of this would hold water if Reagan hadn't overseen that "privatization" mess—where the economy was basically gutted just to serve a few special interests. Bush's gifting of assets to ExxonMobil was really just the final nail in the coffin, but Reagan killed any chance of this country truly thriving right from the start.

The worst part is how they try to sweep it all under the rug so the Republican Party doesn't have to answer for it—and the others won't speak up either, since they could be held liable. That’s why we’re failing, and that’s why our independence will probably only last until the next global war.

Look, the major telecom wasn't even sold off during Reagan's era, and neither was ExxonMobil, or Pliva, or any of the big insurance giants, or even the banks as far as I can tell. Most of those massive "strategic companies" stayed put. People are building this myth around a dead man who's been gone for two decades, when the real damage happened after he was laid to rest. And hey, nobody ever mentions that trashbag Clinton either.☕

Matthew Anderson4 said:Gonna try working on my carbon footprint for an hour a day. Or whatever. Just some Netflix tonight, messing around, scouting for my fantasy league, then waking up early tomorrow even though it’s Sunday just to give the planet another hour of effort. That's basically how my brain works.

just turn off all the lights in the house for an hour—if you can manage to do that during the day too, it actually makes a huge difference for the country.

James Anderson5 said:Did you see yourself in what Larry Fox5 was quoting?

https://www.theguardian.com/science/...ming-passes-99

"The scientific consensus that humans are causing global warming is likely to have passed 99%, according to the lead author of the most authoritative study on the subject, and could rise further after separate research that clears up some of the remaining doubts."

So, what now? Are you actually going to change your mind? Honestly, I heard from some pretty reliable sources that Elon Musk is just funneling his investors' money into funding trips to Greensboro to stir up climate panic, all to pump up his stock prices and sell more EVs while he laughs at everyone from his control center in Sunday... He's even gone vegan just to make his whole persona easier to sell to the naive crowds...

The Guardian... hahahahahaha

James Anderson5 said:It’s honestly wild how many climate change skeptics you run into online. Everyone acts like such an expert, convinced they've spotted a massive scam, even though the experts at the UN and researchers have been sounding the alarm for decades... It gets even funnier when they claim they aren't falling for "conspiracy theories" because it’s just so obvious that huge corporations are pulling the strings.

The biggest players on the planet are actually the ones profiting from mass pollution—think big oil, Big Pharma, the defense industry, and even the massive food conglomerates. Even ten years ago, there were books written about how these industries pay off scientists, fund junk studies, and influence the media to push the narrative that humans and our environmental impact aren't to blame, despite the fact that basically 99% of scientists agree we're in a serious crisis.

But sure, let's pretend the real villains are just powerful NGOs and EV manufacturers like 🤣

just give me the names of this 99% of scientists then

Yeah, because the UN is totally an organization dedicated to the betterment of humanity, right? 🙏

So, check this out—here's something HR1 is definitely failing to cover properly. We're talking about the absolute filthiest river on the planet over in Indonesia, where the wastewater from 500 different textile plants just dumps straight into the

Honestly, if Trump just keeps going at it and causing chaos, I'm here for it—there’s nothing quite like watching those liberal crybabies lose their minds. It’s low-key therapeutic.

Matthew Young35 said:Monsanto isn't what creates scorched earth.
Scorched earth is caused by people like Bolsonaro, who burn down the Amazon rainforest just to clear space for agriculture and industry.

What Monsanto actually does is threaten biodiversity. And if we’re being honest, even that isn't strictly on them—it's the people using their products.
It's like the NRA's argument: guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Oh, please. Guns don't kill? A gun is basically just a hard object—you could use a damn brick to do the same thing, so what, should we ban bricks now? You could literally kill a guy with a pair of kitchen shears if you really wanted to.
