LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here" or "y y y"
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7)You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC.



OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

Quote
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller

This applies to all groups.

I take issue with continued outrage when all are outraged and addressing the immediate issue.  The perpetrators  have been arrested.
A new discussion, with less vitriol, needs to be had about root causes. ( Whiteness and racism aren't them.)



I only bought up this case as an example to illustrate my point, which was general (random) and not specific to any one instance. We should probably keep the discussion regarding this specific story in the appropriate thread.

That's the point. Everyone *is* outraged.
I seen the outrage. So, an innocent human being gets beaten to death by five thugs that could have racist bias and the outrage was mainly about me posting in the wrong thread.
There was a terrorist attack in Israel a few days ago where 8 people were killed and there hasn't been a word said about that on this forum.

It's a wonderful quote and certainly rings true. That doesn't mean *I* can expect of *you* to express outrage for the causes *I* feel are most important. When they come for the trade unionists, and the trade unionists fight back, you can't be upset if they don't fight as hard when they come for the socialists.

There's also a difference between calling on leaders to speak out and individuals on social media.

I stand corrected about the terror attack. I hadn't seen it and it was recent, so it was fresh in my mind. I'm sure you know that there are many a tragedy that hit the Jewish community that was not mentioned on this forum. My point stands, it is not because people don't feel outraged, it's just the nature of social media - not everything you care about gets spoken about.

I seen the outrage. So, an innocent human being gets beaten to death by five thugs that could have racist bias and the outrage was mainly about me posting in the wrong thread. 

Had it not been posted it in a thread specifically about hate crimes, that argument wouldn't have happened.

It is not about calling them out for not speaking out is calling them out for selectively speaking out.

He could have very well been stopped just because he was black. We don't know. So that is the right thread.
My point stands that we see this atrocity happen and just about everyone kept harping on it is in the wrong thread. Did they start a thread to cover it? NO!!!

They trashed that thread on the pretense in was in the wrong thread. That thread gets trashed all the time. I am not going to ask "I wonder why".

Absolutely. It's a very difficult question, where to draw the line between individuality and "communal" activism, and who should be called on for calling it out.

It is definitely not always or maybe even not often the case, but as is apparent from the Niemoller quote, intolerance/injustice against a particular group can be a means to intolerance/injustice against all the "others", and perhaps if all groups would stand together and take it as a personal "punch" the collective "ow" would go a long way to dealing with some of the problems.

This was not a digression, it was a new story posted specifically to a thread with a specific intention. Instead of achieving that goal, it created a backlash from people choosing to focus on forum-specific issue and not the police brutality.

Again, and for the last time because I don't think I can be any clearer and I don't see us coming to any different conclusions. If someone punches you in the face you will scream out louder than if someone punches someone else in the face with brass knuckles.

I agree and see your point but you refuse to see my point.

Five thugs punch a baby in the face with brass knuckles. If you don't scream out load about that then there is a reason why. Saying the reason is because it wasn't my baby is pure BS!!!

Do you honestly believe people are not horrified about it? I can only speak for myself, there are sadly far too many things I am horrified by that I do not speak about. Not necessarily because I'm choosing not to, I just don't always have something to say/add.

IIUC CV was trying to point out a stop of a Black individual is very likely due to his being Black, regardless of the officers race. Perhaps CV is blatantly wrong, perhaps not so much. Why wouldn't someone just open a thread for that discussion instead of creating pages on the minorities thread? because:

I truly believe some just don't care.

When all your posts (not you) are about it is in the wrong thread and not one post about the atrocity then I come to the logical conclusion that you don't care.

Perhaps study after study show that black young men are stopped at a higher rate and that why it was posted in that thread?

a serial domestic abuser, the originator of the “Hitler had some good ideas” line, and someone those closest to him consider a piece of dirt, never once showing any remorse or seeking forgiveness.
You forgot assaulting police.

It is from a propaganda news source that he denied and there is no evidence he made the statement.
 This other claim isn't worth the paper it is written on.
I don’t know if it’s true or not but his daughter’s response when seeing this claim was: “The first thing I thought was, ‘That’s exactly like him.’”
