Someone cooler? I don’t find a drunkered who couldn’t even find the location he was looking for but took credit for it.

Also, way to compare confederate monuments to MLK :laugh2:

Why not just leave things the way they are? Because a lot of people don’t like it. What’s the problem with change? Why do you not want to change?

We should not make changes based on many people liking or disliking something. We elect officials to make those changes if they see fit. If we based change on popular opinion, anything is possible. People tend to mob mentality.

I see, the problem with our country is the Democracy part of it lol.

Yes we must guard against mob mentality, but we should also probably listen to the people. It’s about a balance.

LOL We should change the first three words of the constitution from We The People to We The Elected Officials.

Wake up. Those elected officials are there to represent our desires not judge whether or not to represent our issues. That is why we voted them in. You talking like a sheep Joey

We have more problems with ruling minority, the donor class, then mob rule.

Obviously if you want to end police brutality it's all about taking down statues, spray painting stuff, and cancelling police television shows.

So if more people wanted to ban abortions you’d be fine with that?

If more people were against gay marriage we’d have to get rid of it right?

Most people in American believe in God, typically Christianity. I suppose everyone needs to go to church right?

The mob does not rule in the US. That’s why we have leaders. If we don’t like their decisions, we have the right to vote them out.

Exactly. If elected officials want to take down statues or put up statues, that’s their options.

Ah, so you’re appealing to the moral minority? Oh well in that case I suppose I need to remind you the confederate statues are idolizing a pro-slavery faction.

If you’re saying we should do what is morally right in this case, want to explain how you think honoring the side that seceded because they wanted to enslave black people is the moral position?

Actually, they’re calling for a whole lot more than that to actually end police brutality. Not surprised you’re ignoring those parts however.

lLOLOLOLOL. Yeah it is all about that.

I’m assuming since Joey’s view is that it’s up to elected officials and if they want it we should respect that decision, that because abortion and gay marriage are legal he is fine with those.
