What exactly is "homophobia"? in Psychology ·
Brandon Rivera2 said:Can a person even be well-informed and still be homophobic?

If fear is fundamentally irrational—at least by my definition—then more information isn't going to fix the lack of logic behind it. 🤷

Brandon Rivera2 said:But what about the people who don't necessarily feel uncomfortable, yet still find themselves against gay rights?...

Then there’s us—the ones opposed to special privileges for this crowd. We're just looking for true equality within a democratic society—you know, where the majority sets the social standard. It's not that biological orientation affects our lives or interests us in the slightest, but we'd rather see these activists sidelined and force all those loudmouth agitators back into finding some decent, honest work.

placidwolf27 said:Yeah, right—as if they actually want us to legalize it!

Next thing you know, these activists will be coming for our crosses, too...

It’s all just some twisted social experiment run in a lab...

Eventually, they'll be teaching kids about sex, necrophilia, and abortion in every public school across the country!

That's their ultimate goal...

But in all seriousness, homophobia is really just a symptom of what happens when people meddle in matters that simply don't concern them...
I mean, who anyone sleeps with, who they choose to marry, or where they hold hands...
that's nobody else's business, and there shouldn't be any reason for anyone to object...
It's as if certain people act out so provocatively just because they know it bothers others—perhaps they're just bored and looking for a fight, those various activists...

The moment those deviants hit the streets, their lifestyle started affecting society at large—unfortunately. If they would just stick to their own corners, maybe shady alleyways or certain questionable neighborhoods, instead of these activists dragging everything into our public squares, we wouldn't be dealing with any friction.

Best all-in-one printers for home use? in Computer Peripherals ·
I’m looking for a solid recommendation for an all-in-one home printer—you know, basic printing, scanning, and copying for the occasional letter or family photo. I need something reliable that won't just seize up if I don't use it for a few weeks—it would be nice if third-party ink was actually an option, too. Which big names—Canon, HP, Epson...—actually offer something worth my time? Every salesperson at the local Best Buy seems to have their own agenda, making it nearly impossible to tell who's being helpful and who's just pushing inventory to hit a quota. Thanks!🙂

Look—it wouldn't take much to make things normal...I mean, he's at 2.75...handcuffs, straight to the station...sobriety test...courtroom (in America, you have courts that run 24/7, specifically for people like this)...the judge sets bail at 200 $0.00....and within a month, he's convicted....a month or two in jail..a fine of 100 $0.00....and now we're back to the police not doing their jobs...then what the hell do we even have this country for????????????😠😠😠

We don't have a country. Žužić does.☕

Lisa Kern38 said:...driving along...cops pull him over...blood alcohol level is 0.08...probably threatening the officers...then he just gets back in his car and drives off....look, I honestly don't have anything against the police...really, they're doing a damn good job...but what the hell? why couldn't a single officer pull their weapon and shoot that piece of trash?????????????...I mean, seriously, the guy just keeps driving while wasted....what if he rounds a corner and hits a kid again?
I don't know...I just don't get how things work anymore...is an individual supposed to just take matters into their own hands and play vigilante like it's the Wild West? It's pathetic....who is this guy preventing the police from actually doing their jobs? What's his name...who is this freaking Žužić that some idiot thinks he can just keep driving? Who does he think he is????...some big shot...some legend...who is he????...director of the galaxy? or just some total coward?....I mean...why the hell is Roncevic just sitting up there like a useless stump. Ugh 😠😠😠😠😠

Just realize that people like Žužić essentially set up the police to protect their own assets and interests. It's the same pattern in every major US city—you have a small circle of "bosses" who walked away with massive amounts of public property during various shifts in the system, and they are the true masters of America. They hand-pick the politicians and shape the laws. Most of them stay completely anonymous; honestly, nobody would even know who Žužić was if it weren't for his son's accident. Don't expect every police chief to tell their officers who they can harass and who they can't; if a report ever actually gets filed, it just ends up buried in someone's desk drawer. For a comparison regarding how consistently the law is applied—if you believe the news—they were harassing some American tourist in San Francisco just the other day simply because he dared to say hello and ask how they were doing. This country is a strange place.

Honestly, you guys on the right are actually pretty hilarious to watch. 👍

Which specific part of my posts are you contesting—and more importantly, on what grounds? Perhaps I misstated a fact or leaned a bit too hard into the hyperbole regarding certain figures—fine. But if you can't point to a concrete error, I’d suggest staying out of this thread.

stormymarlin90 said:Total nonsense. These religious zealots are constantly trying to shove their garbage down our throats.
You can't take a bunch of notorious degenerates—the very ones their cronies and globalist middlemen rake in cash from—and expect them to suddenly become pillars of national morality.
We aren't some delusional liars.

Enough said. It seems obvious to me that you’re just a pathetic bunch—people who still pine for the days of America, spit on our founding principles, and harbor this cowardly rage. Your bitterness won't dampen tonight's celebrations; instead, you'll be left watching from the sidelines—hiding in your holes while our flags wave and our voices rise in unison—realizing that you don't belong here, you never did, and you never will.

You spent forty-five years trying to degrade our values—well, now you can either bow down or step aside. America is standing tall again; for nearly two decades, our flag has flown proudly, even if it makes you "anarcho-liberal internationalist" pests uncomfortable. You’re poisoning the youth, peddling drugs and filth, and following orders from shadowy power centers to push agendas that try to equate perverse lifestyles with marriage through your web of lies. But that digital reality is a facade. You saw the truth at Times Square when Marko Perković sang for 120,000 people, and you see it now during the UEFA European Championship. This nationalism that you "cosmopolitan" rats constantly criticize is exactly what binds us together—it protects our uniqueness and ensures our worldview survives. It is the legacy we inherited from our ancestors, and the one our children will carry forward. To my fellow Americans: cheers.
Traffic violation procedures in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
Megan White4 said:If there are witnesses and a decent lawyer on his side, that’s certainly going to help his case. Beyond that, if any documentation was filed, he should be entitled to copies of the reports, the citation receipt, a written warning, or whatever else was issued.

Of course—if someone else actually saw the whole thing, then we're looking at a completely different ballgame.
Traffic violation procedures in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
Megan White4 said:First off, if an officer approaches you in plainclothes, they are required to identify themselves by showing their badge before any official procedure begins. If they don't, you aren't obligated to hand over any documents or personal information at all—you have no way of verifying they’re actually law enforcement. This rule applies just as much to transit officers, code enforcement, or state inspectors.

If it turns out they *are* indeed police, your best move is to request a confrontation in court. Make sure to explicitly state that the officers were in civilian clothing and failed to properly identify themselves by displaying their badge. That constitutes a procedural error, essentially making their conduct unlawful. In many cases, this mistake means you won't face any consequences, while they could potentially face suspension for failing to follow protocol.

🤣
Give me a break—authority is authority. When the executive branch tells a judge who happens to be their buddy that they showed badges, while you, the supposed "criminal," claim otherwise, who is the judge going to believe? A "felon" or the boys in blue? All these lofty talks about our "rights" are just a legal veneer for how they're going to steamroll us anyway. Their power is so unchecked they could practically snatch you off the street just because they feel like it—no reason required. I just find his logic odd—it's as if he'd hand over his ID to anyone driving a black Mercedes...🤷 Even if he manages to prove they broke protocol, it doesn't change much—if those officers testify he ran a red light, he could still face charges, and proving their mistake won't exactly help the OP's case...

Sure—but I can't help feeling he left out one rather critical detail...☕

Jessica Smith40 said:Since I don't really have much experience dealing with traffic violations, I guess I'm looking for some help from people who actually know how this works. Here's the deal:
On May 31, 2007, I got pulled over by a black Ford with no police markings on it, and three cocky kids in plain clothes hopped out. They didn't even bother identifying themselves as cops before demanding my driver's license and registration, then claiming I'd turned left on a red light at the previous intersection. I was maybe 10 meters from entering the junction when the light flipped from green to yellow. There wasn't a cruiser behind me; I assume they were just sitting at the light to my right. The road conditions right at the entrance to the intersection are honestly pretty terrible—kind of a mess, if you want to use the Japanese term *samajama*—so stopping safely before the line wasn't really an option. It’s a massive intersection,
right where the Potomac meets the Mississippi, so it's totally possible the light turned red just as I was crossing, but I couldn't tell by then.
The thing is, I passed through that exact same intersection about 15 minutes later, and the lights were completely busted, so the police were out there manually directing traffic.
The funniest part happened when they handed my papers back. Since they had pulled me into the deceleration lane before the next light, once they were done, they actually flicked on their sirens, blew through a red light—nearly causing a wreck, actually—and then just shut it off. 😠

I'm wondering if I can argue that the signal might have been malfunctioning right when I went through.
And could I potentially use the fact that the road surface was too sketchy to stop safely as a defense in Court?
A colleague of mine was driving behind me and stopped at the light; would he be any good as a witness in Court?
Also, is it even worth reporting how those officers acted, or is it just going to end up being their word against mine?
From what I understand, the statute of limitations jumps to four years starting January 1, 2008. Does that apply to violations committed after the start of the year, or does it work retroactively?

Thanks in advance...

Why on earth would you pull over if they haven't identified themselves—especially when the car isn't even marked? I'm certainly not handing over my papers to some cocky civilians... unless they decide to shove a gun in my face first.
