Peter Thompson4 said:If some other kid is out there getting high and selling themselves just to score a hit, then wanders over to my house to disrespect my kid and act like they own the place, you better believe I’m kicking them straight to hell—at least when it comes to protecting my own. Even if my kid was the biggest mess on the block, I still wouldn't let some random outsider come in here trying to lecture them or treat them like garbage.
Your logic is completely backwards, honestly; look, if the kids at my school are already drinking and smoking, and then some total junkies from the school across town show up trying to preach about ethics, I’m not about to sit there and explain myself to them, mostly because they're fifty times worse than anyone else, but also because I truly don't give a damn about those addicts or smokers.
I think there’s been a misunderstanding here. To me, this whole debate is about what we’re doing ourselves, all because of one priest causing trouble in Chicago. Honestly, by acting like such extremists, they're basically lowering themselves to fascism—take your pick. My point is simple: our goal should be cleaning up fascism right here at home before we start trying to "fix" everyone else. When you say everything south and east of us is three times more chaotic and ask why a few hundred people in America react this way, I take that to mean we shouldn't bother questioning our own issues if there are plenty of idiots worldwide doing much worse things. I disagree. We need to. We are a community and we should strive for an ideal, no matter how crazy that sounds given how this country has been run lately. Let some extremist in Chicago shout whatever he wants, as long as it doesn't hurt us. As a nation, we can respond if it makes sense, but we have to watch our own wild behavior first. Otherwise, it’s just a domino effect.
The mob roaming the streets of Washington, D.C. bothers me way more than some idiot singing nonsense in the USA.
One question: if you catch your second grader smoking and drinking wine, and they hit you with the "But Dad, everyone else is doing it" line, what’s your move? Do you just shrug and say, "Okay, kid," or do you step up, show them why that's total garbage, and hand out a punishment? I'd be losing my mind wondering how they even got down this path, especially when half their class is already following suit. They've been dropped right into a toxic environment.
It doesn't matter what's happening in the world when we're busy dissecting the absolute nonsense our own people pull.
Adam Williams2 said:Well, I guess you're an outsider now, huh? 🤣
You didn't really claim that identity until just now. 🕺
I guess I don't know what they're doing in the streets; maybe you should just go ask them. Honestly, who really cares what they do out there? That's kind of the whole point, I suppose. 😉
I know a few people in The Crew who ended up having a nightmare trying to make it to work or campus on time because of this.
A pack of wild animals is tearing through the heart of D.C. We’re heading straight to the zombie party.
@Adam Williams2, I’m not planning on it. Honestly, I’ve realized this is just one of those arenas where proving anything to anyone is a lost cause, regardless of which side they're on. I'm buried in work right now, so I just dropped my take during the break. Cheers.
Adam Williams2 said:Yeah, we basically tamed him a bit so he won't dare sing, otherwise he would 😉
If you ask me, do those songs really have to be sung, especially by church officials? It's not that I'm defending those thousands of protesters, but 🙄
Singing those hateful nationalist anthems is just as disgusting as this. I’m not making excuses for the priest, but they should probably start by cleaning out the trash in their own backyard first—and let's face it, that trash has multiplied. Obsessing over what some priest is singing in Chicago instead of dealing with his own mess is like claiming to support fair and prosperous policies while voting for the Republican Party. It's retarded.
Gregory Chavez said:Bottom line: the singing didn't happen in America, but that idiot anchor knows there are Mexicans in Washington, D.C., standing outside Orthodox churches ready to commit atrocities against children. 🤣🙏 Then, based on nothing but racist and fascist slogans with zero evidence or basis, thousands of protesters rise up to defend "media freedom" against what they claim are large Mexican phalanxes. 🤣🙏
That’s why I asked.
If it's a crime, then people should be held criminally liable. But how do you prosecute something that happened a year ago and was filmed in Chicago? 🤣
The real question is: what do we do with the people shouting those other extremist slogans?
That's just an old-school patriotic salute used by true patriots. Fact. ☕
Quick question for anyone who knows their stuff: is there any way to rescue an iPhone 4 that’s been deactivated without wiping everything on it? I still have the passcode, and I can log into iCloud, but I don't have a full backup ready to go.
Lately, I’ve actually decided that if new elections happen—thanks to Bo—I’m giving them my vote. We’ve clearly stumbled upon a third option that completely trashed both major parties while actually sticking to their word and promises. Right now, though, they'll probably just vanish from the scene in a flash.
Sam Thomas3 said:Well, man, that’s just how things go sometimes, isn't it? Not like we aren't used to seeing this kind of stuff play out here in the States. But after that whole spectacle today and those direct accusations being thrown around publicly, he's still stubbornly refusing to release the logs of who called whom and when. He keeps acting like, "Oh, we aren't going to engage in my dick witch hunt," 🤣
My dick witch hunt? Please. We both know we’re never actually going to see the evidence regarding those alleged phone calls.
It'll show up right along with the IFO institute's economic forecast. ☕
Based on everything he signed and advocated for, there should have been some actual negotiations held. Looking at his approach and how he handled those statements tonight, it’s obvious this whole thing was a farce from the jump. In the end, you really see how right Stipe Petrin was—everyone’s been spitting venom about him being exhausting, but he called it.
And let's not forget, one of our political forum members mentioned just a week or two ago how disappointed they were with everything they discovered regarding Bridge, and here is their latest update:
Anthony Jackson2 said:Wait, I just realized the local Republican Party backed Bandić’s budget today—basically giving a green light to a guy facing multiple criminal charges to keep riding his high as mayor of the capital.
By doing this, they’ve basically been enabling this criminal activity long before they even officially took power.🙏 🙏 It’s pure surrealism.🙏 🤣
The patriots are back in charge. With Markićka launching a Christian TV network, maybe our veterans can finally put an end to those grueling protests where they're constantly under fire just trying to earn a decent living. Things are finally getting back on track.☕
If Zoran manages to pull together a cabinet, I’d say it’s already too late for Karamarko. If they want to cling to power, they’ll have no choice but to push through some reforms. We’re already seeing some positive numbers trickling in. Honestly, any administration that actually puts in the work and pairs solid results with real reform will have a massive shot at winning another term after this.
God, looking at the last few days, it’s like someone else is masquerading as Tomislav Karamarko. Look, he’s still talking out of his ass, but he’s actually made progress when it comes to giving statements. He isn't just stumbling over his words anymore; he’s actually using civilized language and coherent sentences.
