Nooooooo.
Wanting to sacrifice a few lambs on the altar of revenge proves it's not about fairness or equality, it's about bitterness, payback, and division. That loses far more people than it gains, and creates a reason to fight against #metoo. Fight that desire, please.

The best way to avoid going over the line is clearly defining where that line is, for everyone. Discuss it, don't just blindly cross it to everyone's detriment.
Sexual line crossing is what the movement is fighting, if it turns to line crossing itself, it's useless except as a tool to divide us.

Btw...men get harassed and raped by women too. #metoo

@NetRunner

So Jim Rogers is a hypocrite, what's your point?

Are you implying/concluding something about Ron Paul's economic policies?

Because if you are, Jim Roger making hypocritical statements is irrelevant to that.

I assumed you were intelligent enough to understand that. Especially after I googled it for you.

Jim Rogers is advocating a shift in our society but he still knows where his bread is buttered.

He's a speculator and Trading 101 Rule 1 is: Follow the trend.

You think he's gonna put his livelyhood on the line, cross his fingers and hope like hell entrenched niggas like you will suddenly about-face?

You oppose war in Afghanistan, right?
But you still pay your taxes, which supports the war there.

Your actions are contradictory therefore.. I can conclude what?

Obama is a shitty president? Of course not.

I'd love to address your invalid point, but you'll have to clarify your conclusion first.

@dystopianfuturetoday, my hour ban was something I didn't even knew existed until after it was lifted and I logged in. If I was wrong, I would've been okay to be banned. But as usual you don't know the whole story, so you're talking out of your ass.

Dag banned me without hearing my side, which would've exonerated me. Hence why the ban was lifted an hour later when NR stepped up to explain the situation. And there wasn't any "line" crossed. Why don't you spend more time figuring out how dft could be a better person instead of telling everyone else on here how they could be a better person.

I do think dag played favoritism, and if you think for a second that dag looks at me more favorably because of my time on this site you're out of your mind. I'm certainly tolerated but not favored. Also dag is overly sensitive towards what men say toward women. As are you. This sort of inequality seems to be the crux of this site's exploits.

wet willie...

line crossed.

Line crossed with "Kill" - downvote.

>> ^mentality:
"was the line crossed in the Bush administration?"
"We certainly did not. Wait, now, there were some incidents that did"
Right. We don't violate human rights, except for those incidents where we do. But it's those incidents' fault, not ours.
Imma try this one next time i get caught for speeding. I wonder if the judge will buy that I did not cross the speed limit, but wait, now, there were some incidents that did.


Your analogy is bad. Petraeus is clearly saying that from his command down torture was never approved, and he had just previously stated it was a line that should never be crossed. When he clarifies there were incidents were that line was crossed, he also says they took measures to deal with those incidents. It's not like saying he and the army do not approve torture except when they are using torture. He is saying incidents happened IN SPITE of his and the military's stance against torture.

He is also coming about as close as one in his position can to saying the Cheney DID approve of those tactics. I'm thinking from this and a few other things I've heard Petraeus is likely an ally in fighting the crimes of the Bush admin.
