Google needs oversight somehow, someway, it can't be trusted to provide the bulk of the world's info as political as it's become. Europe bent them over and fucked them in ass for anti trust behavior. America needs to do the same.

Yeah there's no slippery slope there. China regulates it's search engines. I hear it works great.

But regulating statues and history is cool. Got it.

No one is regulating statues and history. If you want a Nathan Bedford Forrest hooded statue in your house you're more than welcome to it. What is being addressed is government glorifications of people who fought for the Confederacy.

History is written by the victors bitch.

Upvoted because Google is probably the most important company in the world right now. There's all sorts of shady shit going on in the web these days. Companies cooperating with the Great Firewall of China. Keeping and sharing data and metadata. And so on.

And although I disagree with the faggot, that guy who Google shitcanned had no business being shitcanned. People need to engage, not dismiss points of view with which they disagree. Especially a company like Google whose motto is still "Don't be evil" (allegedly).

This is a MAJOR problem in this country. The inability to say anything without offending someone, and there actually being repercussions from it. A white dude should be able to talk about black on black violence without being called a racist, and plenty of other examples. Or discuss women's predispositions based on biological differences, in this case. The guy didn't say women are fucking worthless, get in the kitchen bitch, or anything even remotely in that plane. Everyone is so fucking sensitive about everything now.

America: Land of Pussies

This shit seemed like it started when I was in college. Back then the big deal was not offending anyone. Now we're up to "microaggressions" and shit.

Now, on the other hand, I think that some people have a point. Talk to any black person about their experiences getting pulled over versus any white person's experiences with the same. But people need to engage those views as well, rather than dismissing them out of hand.

We are in violent agreement. Look, there are people that say over the top shit, and it's fine if people shun them for being faggots when appropriate. But this constant shouting down and social media shaming of people who are just discussing how they feel about things is just stupid. Hey, maybe they are technically "wrong," whatever that means, but if they aren't advocating killing jews, beating women, or reenslaving blacks, then whatever. They have an opinion. You disagree with it. Why do people have to lose careers over it?

Wow Injun! That's some taint-tingling stuff right there.

I don't care about the statues you dumbshit. Tear em down or let em stand. Makes no difference to me either way. If it's a cool statue then I would actually prefer to leave it. My only strong opinion is that it should be up to the local community to decide what to do with their stupid statues.

Dude, agree with you, but we are engaging the shit out of those views, everyday. Just watch any national news broadcast. Racial differences and inequities dominate the news cycle. Unfortunately, it's mostly talking head shows where each panel member gets about 90 seconds to jam in their talking points, and little meaningful information is exchanged. If you have kids in public schools, racial equity is a constant theme of everything from math classes, to music and drama roles, to field trips. It is literally THE MOST talked about subject from dusk 'til dawn throughout the country. That you see some fringe group protesting a statue removal does not indicate a crisis, a movement, or widespread support for their backward views or ideas.

There are racist fucking pigs and clowns among us. We've always known that and held them in check through social isolation and rejection. But, the Media has advertising clients to please, so blowing shit out of proportion feeds their beasts while causing people to panic and abandon all reason. Truthfully, there's a lot of very smart people on these boards and, in general, smart & wise people aren't racist, because they realize and understand how dumb, self-limiting and self-defeating such views are. Watch MSNBC or CNN right now, and I guarantee they are spreading falsehoods, false equivalencies, or meaningless comparisons to send the clear message that one view is right, the other is wrong, and there is no in-between. Our team vs their team. And anyone who steps into the space between catches truckloads of shit, gets called a traitor, a Nazi, etc. Been there. Done that.
