1/2.Profiling by race would take away resources from profiling by poverty, which is far more effective than profiling by race.
3.Fair, but the point is that all freedoms are equal - if you don’t support all freedoms for everybody, then you don’t support freedom. There is no legal way to take rights away from people, as any such law would be unconstitutional and struck down by the Supreme Court if it got that far.
Being an asshole in general is frowned upon by society. Being transphobic, racist, arabophobic(more accurate then islamophobic imo), sexist, and homophobic(call it TRASH for short) is just one form of being an asshole. If I walked around telling people how much I hate Bible thumpers and how I want to make churches illegal, that wouldn’t be well received either, because I’d be an asshole.. That doesn’t mean I can’t do it, just like it doesn’t mean you can’t be TRASH, it just means people can and will react, which is their right.
Also, being LGBT and being TRASH are not opposite sides of the same coin like liberal or conservative. The opposite of being LGBT is simply being cisgender and straight, and nobody will have a problem with you admitting that you’re cis and straight. The opposite of being TRASH would be someone who hates cis straight people and wants to take away their rights, it’s just that there are so few(if any) people who feel that way that there’s not even a real term for them. Heterophobic? Americaphobic? Chrisrtianophobic? Cisgenderist? Caucasist? If there were any HACCCs out there, they too would have to either live in the shadows or deal with the ridicule of the public just like TRASH people do, because again, being an asshole is frowned upon.
1/2. We don't really need resources for either. I'm just saying don't judge cops for using common sense and treating people who are more likely to be criminals like they're more likely to be criminals. That's free. In fact we'll save a little money by eliminating the need to investigate and punish cops for using common sense.
3. If not supporting every single freedom means I don't support ultimate freedom, so be it. I don't support the freedom to murder. I don't support the freedom to rape. I don't support the freedom to make bombs. I don't support the freedom to smoke or sell meth. And I don't know what you're talking about as literally every law in existence is a limitation of freedom so of course it can be legally done. Don't be silly.
I'm sorry it messes with your acronym, but no, that's not more accurate. Remove the Islam problem and Arabs are among those I'm least racist against. The Islam is the problem.
Go ahead and publicly hate Bible thumpers and say you would like to make church illegal. In fact, you could make a career out of it as an atheist comedian. They're everywhere. But I would have my career cancelled for saying I'm homophobic. The left really somehow succeeded in making it an actual bad word.
I didn't say LGBT and SHIRT are antonyms. There are just some parallels, especially if by "LGBT" we mean "pro-LGBT" and throw feminism and racial and religious equality in there. And that's what I mean because that's basically the leftist position while those of us on the right are extremely sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, racist, and transphobic.
If being an asshole was frowned upon then LGBT would be frowned upon. Racial equality would be frowned upon. Feminism would be frowned upon. This is how half of the population feels. Somehow the left just succeeded in making it standard that the right hide our beliefs. And don't let any other rightest ever bullshit you with that cringe denial mess again. Yes, we are SHIRT as fuck. As fuck. Make no mistake about it. When it's just us around we're way more open about it. I'm ready to act that way in public too. To wear my SHIRT ideals on my sleeve. It's what we all want in the end. I just have the balls to go ahead and admit it to the left now.
We might disagree but I'm sure my honestly at the very least is a breath of fresh air since my side opted to just lie at some point like doormats.
1/2.Common sense is poor people are more likely to commit more crimes, not black people, so of course cops should be punished for wasting time by not following common sense. Personally, I think facts are more important than feelings, so each case should be investigated on its own merit with no regard to what has happened in unrelated cases.
Also, this is one big difference between the left and the right. You tell someone on the left that poor people are more likely to commit crimes and they would probably say we need to help people get out of poverty so they don’t commit crimes, while someone on the right reacts by preemptively punishing poor people as criminals. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, of course, but one has actually been proven to reduce crime and the other makes things worse.
3.Did…you just compare gender reassignment surgery and gay marriage to rape and murder? And then call me silly? Rape and murder affect other people. Gender reassignment surgery and gay marriage don’t, other than hurting the feelings of people who don’t like when somebody does something they wouldn’t do. Rape and murder infringe on the rights of other people to live and not be raped. There is no given right to not see trans people or gay people exist.
Speak for yourself. The vast majority of conservatives are more arabophobic than islamophobic. Plenty of white Americans convert to Islam and it doesn’t bother them, while they hate Arabic people of any religion. So, TRASH it is.
Give me a break with this whole “canceled” nonsense. Admitting to being homophobic would get you a job on Fox News or a political office in a red state before you even finished the sentence.
There are no parallels in any way between LGBT and TRASH. That’s like defending a murderer choking somebody to death by saying it’s not fair that one person is allowed to breathe but another isn’t allowed to stop them from breathing.
What do being pro-LGBT, pro racial equality, and pro feminism have to do with being an asshole? Those things are literally the exact opposite of being an asshole. That’s why they’re not frowned upon, because they’re good things. Being nice to other people = good, being mean to other people = bad. Accepting people for being who they are when they’re not hurting anybody = being nice to other people, attacking and insulting people for being who they are when they’re not hurting anybody = being mean to people.
Believe me, I’m well aware of how TRASH people act when they think they’re only around other TRASH. I grew up in a house full of TRASH, I’ve spent many years working with TRASH. They’re miserable to be around and then they get offended when people don’t want to be around them anymore. Go figure.
The left is bullying the right
