Oddly enough, I came to PD from CG, back when it was the best political board on the internet.

Now, of course, it's a wasteland.

My god, these people are fucking revolting.

Not all of them.

The lefties are mostly good people.  There are a couple of exceptions.

The only right wingers left are fucking retarded, though.

One of the lefties, Supertroy, is what would happen if LMNO and I mixed our genes & made a clone.

Supertroy is awesome.  Always thought so.

Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.

Reg has been off for a year or more, and the owner/admin has made two (2) appearances since then.

HELL YEAH! THESE COLORS DON'T RUN!

I always loved that expression because our colors (not "colors") are the same colors as the flag of France and THEY run, so...

Also: didn't those cats help us out in like, the Revolution n shit?

That plus the fact that they actually WERE occupied by the nazis for awhile and tend to think twice before jumping into shit. Unlike here.

Oh dear god.

Also, in the racist thread, Gaggy is trying to explain that suddenly, all the evidence exonerates Zimmerman, since the defense "enhanced" the video.

One quote:

Zimmerman:  "He looks like he's up to no good.  He looks Black."  <--- No shit.

Gaggy should not give up his day job in a quest to become legal counsel.  :lol:

You may not be up to speed, but you're quoting the version of the call NBC edited to make people think he said that he was black without first being asked by the dispatcher what his race was.

If you care.

Sure.  And his race is "looks like he's up to no good/Black".

Sorry that this sort of thing seems to put you on the defensive.

If that happened in the context DP suggested, I *do* care. It is important to me that this guy:
1. is brought to justice in the truest and most correct sense of the word.
2. Is given a fair, righteous trial whose results he won't be able to squirm out of by claiming the jurors were pre-biased due to media slander.

I want to also say that the idea that it's okay to cut and splice video and audio to change the context of what people say is one of those scary, Orwellian dystopian ideas that people are far too comfortable with accepting because "That's just the way it's done on TV due to time constraints." Bullshit. If you don't have the time to present a story accurately, don't fucking do it. I don't care if it's Fox News doing it to Obama or the locals doing it over a Fishing Rodeo dispute. It's important.

And with video collection, processing and editing technology becoming more and more flawless, it's becoming feasible that in a few years, you can make my 80-year-old grandmother sound like she admitted to killing unbaptized babies and rendering down the fat so she can fly. If we're okay with letting them splice up film to recreate sentence structure while that technology is still relatively rough, and in a case this fucking riot-inspiring (that's another level of irresponsibility altogether) what's to stop them from editing out some serious faux pas from the mouth of their pet candidate? Or manipulating the film of the leader of Poland making a careless statement whose meaning got partially lost in translation sound like he declared war during "negotiations" about some new-found fossil fuels we "discovered" there?

Let this pigfucker hang himself. We don't need to digitally fill-in the rope he needs to do it.

I never got the impression from this that Zimmerman was doing anything but stalking the kid with intent to kill and get away with it, even if the dispatcher did ask what race he was.
