RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM
instead of
racism ?? )
I'm not clear what you're saying here. You asked if I would be supportive of BLM if they advocated for a different cause and I responded that I wouldn't be supportive of advocates for any other cause.
So to clarify
The subject of the phrase "advocates for any other cause" is the advocates, not their cause.
So when you responded with "not even the police benevolence association" I read that as a direct reference to the "advocates" I referred to because those associations are comprised of people, (and thus the subject of my prior comment); and they are specifically not a cause ( like the terrorism or racism of your original question).

MLK's whole gig was letting other people be the bad guys. He'd push them to act violently against his movement in order to call them out and gain support. BLM is taking the opposite route and will be less successful because of it.sirfun said:
Occupy didn't make a dent on the public conscience, except to **** a lot of people off.
It's unfortunate that they didn't choose to protest at the federal law enforcement agencies that are technically tasked with investigating and regulating Wall Street, because if they had I think they would have racked up a lot of public support.

Your frustration is near-palpable.VonMeister said:

What ad hominem? Show me one in this thread.casa_mugrienta said:FecalFace said:casa_mugrienta said:
I tried to make it grammatically correct.
If you start spouting personal stuff, I'll swing back, naturally.
I try to mock the opinions, not the person.
Somebody else almost always swings first.
Your vitriolic manner and name calling are what made you legendary here. Your standard argument is the ad hominem regardless if the other person "swings first."
Mindboggling.
Also, get off my dick already.

I'm not going to go dredging through 20 pages to find an example of what everyone has already witnessed ad nauseum. Over your career you've done it over and over in thread after thread.
There's another one of your defining characteristics.
An obsession with interjecting a penis into the discussion. Fcking weird.
And the relevance of the question is...? They're advocating (or protesting, your choice) for a certain worldview.
Would I be supportive if they protested peanut butter? I suppose it depends on whether or not I liked peanut butter. If the topic of debate is the legitimacy of the different modes of protest being used then who cares what the cause is?
If the topic of the debate is the cause itself then - as you say - that's a completely different question.
Would I support them if they protested radical islamism? I suppose it depends on how they did it. I don't think the ends justify the means.
GD, why is motive and content so important to you in all of these discussions? What does it matter if they're protesting peanut butter or Islam or Santa Clause? The result to drivers is the same. Similar to people who shoot cops - what does it matter if they're evil Muslims or just standard bad guys? Result is the same.
In other words, you are full of sh!t as usual.casa_mugrienta said:FecalFace said:What ad hominem? Show me one in this thread.casa_mugrienta said:FecalFace said:casa_mugrienta said:

"Get off my dick" is a metaphor dummy.
But really, get off it.
Anybody see the video of the anarchy protestors in SanDiego getting splattered on the freeway? Why do these dum dums think it's smart to block a freeway let alone attempt it at night? Hope the girl has to pay for the car damage for purposely causing an accident.
Just changing a tire on the free way is super dangerous.
