What is so difficult to understand?

breast on female = private part

display of private part = nudity

nudity not appropriate in public area, unless area is zoned for nudity.

Breasts shouldn’t even be considered “private parts”. Men can go around topless, so why can’t women? 'Cause extra fatty deposits?

Because men and women are different. That is the way it has been done for years. Go the average public pool, womens’ breasts are covered and mens’ aren’t.

The beaches where women are allowed to be topless are called NUDE beaches. Think about that.

Just because “that’s the way it’s always been” doesn’t mean it’s correct. I’m actually inclined to say that it’s the opposite.

This is very good news, and proof, I think, that Kim is not wholly insane and unreasonable. Let’s just hope that Trump doesn’t do anything stupid that provokes Kim to attack.

After the tragedy in Charlottesville I’m convinced we are in the beginnings of a second Holocaust. The GOP won’t be defeated in 2018, but even more radicalized with Trump supporters than even now. Who can stand up to Trump in the elections? The Dems are impotent and if they even get their act together they could be outlawed by an even more authoritarian government by a paranoid president. White supremacists are marching in the streets, and are going to just get stronger in the coming months. Everyone that is not them are going to die. We live in a country where one week feels like one year. By the end of four years the victims of this current are going to be either murdered or worn to complete mental exhaustion. We are reaching the point where this country chooses to be a country that only rich, white, straight, men of God only. If you don’t meet all four of these categories, the white supremacists say you can go fuck yourself. All of this is a lost cause. America is dead forever; all there is left is to scream in despair and pray that sweet death ends your suffering.

How dare you silence me like that.

President Trump is an authoritarian white supremacist. He has enboldened nazism unseen since the days of Hitler. They are shouting “JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US” just a few days ago in the streets. One out of three Americans has pledged undying loyalty to him, and it will not be going down anytime soon. You think I am exaggerating when I say we are on the verge of a second Holocaust? Anything you would have deemed impossible only a year ago is now a near-certainty. Donald Trump will still be president in 2018. It’s possible that he could win reelection in 2020 if he can hold onto the rust belt and keep enough people disenfranchised. This is not normal. I was right all along about everything so far.

Nobody is silencing you. Dial back the drama, dude.

I wish someone would silence him. He does nothing but post crazy crap. Get rid of him.

Not only that, but he repeatedly breaks the “no doomsday garbage” rule of this thread.

Apparently it’s starting to sink in among the Nazis how badly their march is being perceived by the country at large, Trump notwithstanding. They are now manipulating photos in an attempt to make it look like the non-Nazis were attacking police officers. Among their own credulous propaganda circles, it’s unfortunately likely to be a fairly successful tactic. Shit, Pizzagate was completely preposterous on about seventy levels and their people still ate it up…

Ehh, Antifa aren’t just non-Nazis, but I get your point.

Honestly, their ‘communities’ are so insular that the entire world could be telling them that it’s photoshopped and they’d just claim it’s fake news.

Sessions is the biggest racist asshole of the bunch.

Baby Boomers? They’re mostly hippies/ex-hippies, so yeah, go ahead.

Nah, the hippies were the good ones.

Jeez.

This isn’t directly related to North Korea; but the numbers are sobering, and I thought it was interesting how they conducted the poll.

I blame the generation that raised the Millenials.

Is it a good thing I have no clue who this guy is?

If you value your sanity, it’s probably healthier not to know who he is. If you’re interested, though, he’s just another insane alt-right conspiracy theorist. He’s known for trying to discredit an anti-Trump protest by planting a “rape Melania” sign. He’s also known for this;

Holy shit. Is this legal? Can they really just do that?

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump bowed on Monday to overwhelming pressure that he personally condemn white supremacists who incited bloody demonstrations in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend, labeling their racists views “evil” after two days of equivocal statements.

“Racism is evil,” said Mr. Trump, delivering a statement from the White House at a hastily arranged appearance meant to halt the growing political threat posed by the situation. “And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the K.K.K., neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

It took him two days to come up with that. In the meantime:

This milquetoast half-condemnation isn’t going to cut it. I’ve seen people saying “he doesn’t mean it, he was pressured by the media,” and there needs to be no room for this kind of doubt.

But Trump’s never going to say what needs to be said, because even if he doesn’t support the alt-right, he definitely has no problem with their support of him.

When you’re marching around in public as part of a hate group, people can widely distribute photos of you and ID you via crowdsourcing. First off, a caution–be damned sure about someone’s identity before you tag them with something like this, and secondly, if you actually can positively identify any of these white supremacists, please do. They wanted to tell the whole world what they thought, so it seems proper that the parts of the world closest to them shouldn’t be left out of knowing what they think.

I don’t know what’s more precious–that Cole White lost his job at Top Dog, LLC (ohh, so sorry, it turns out “assclown” is not a legally protected class!), or that Peter Cvjetanovic is now making the media rounds saying “that’s not me in those super-clear photos!” (when it definitely is – it reminds me of when Richard Spencer recently denied he was Richard Spencer because he was too delicate of a snowflake to cope with being disliked in public). It’s like there’s consequences or something. I wonder if he’s also going to deny that’s him in those (not rally-related) photos with US Senator Dean Heller, or vice-versa.

More consequences (preferably law-enforcement-style consequences, but I’m not picky) are needed to make sure this shit gets shut down right now. Or at least make the Klansmen have to wear their goofy hoods again.

Yeah, get those Nazis! Fuck 'em, and what are the chances the angry mob of losers internet detectives get the wrong person? Next to none, I’m sure. Oh shit.

Hmm, I’m suddenly reminded of /pol/'s mad attempts to find the person who committed the vehicular terror attack that day, only to find the wrong guy.

I was pretty heated when I wrote this, so here’s a (hopefully more measured) part 2.

I am not particularly bothered by these people being identified. I think that the second that they decide to go public with their hatred, they need to be ready for the consequences. These people do deserve to be mocked and shamed, they’re reprehensible, but I’m really tired of people being falsely identified. This isn’t the first time people have decided that they would take matters into their own hands, only to accuse someone totally innocent. This happened with the Boston Bombing, too. I just wish that, if this witch-hunting is going to happen, people were a little more cautious about it. These kinds of accusations can seriously ruin lives, there is no room for mistakes.

At just the very highest levels (people with more than 5 million dollars in wealth), there is currently an inheritance tax that was set up for the purpose of lessening the grip of “power” families that essentially become a perpetual un-elected ruling class. Of course, Trump wants to get rid of this because it affects his family. And, when he chants “we’re going to get rid of the death tax!”, that’s exactly what he is talking about – ensuring his ancestors continue to have power over yours.

God, the way the Republicans frame that is so slimy, but they know exactly what they’re doing. Death Tax sounds so ominous, people’s minds instantly go to “oh, they tax people for dying? that’s horrible!” but that’s not what it is.

What numbers counted as balanced? 25/25/25/25?
