Omg a word means something?! Let's use something else to be the definition of the word and expect everybody else to follow it. Words have meanings. Fucking learning them. Shakespeare made new ones when there weren't enough. Your hero can't just make shit up with old ones that already have meanings.
Clearly you must be satan incarnate because you have an alt that's called Lucifer. Clearly, you're a killer whale because of your alt called Orca. Don't be fucking silly.
prison-industrial complex? I have, indeed, NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE. Tell me how how calling oneself a killer has anything to do with anything industrial or industrial aged. The people alive who know anything about the industrial age of the US are long dead.
You made two points int he square that I quoted. Don't pull shit out our your ass. For someone that acts and claims to be as "in-the-know" as you, I find it hard to believe that you don't know what it is. Anyway, read up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison%E2%80%93industrial_complex
http://criticalresistance.org/about/not-so-common-language/
You hire ex-military, and then you get the stuff that they are trained when and where to use. They are connected. They are hiring ex-military to do the same things they're used to doing. Just not the killing since they have non-lethal stuff to work with. They are not two different things because they want the police to handle more and more situations.
How many fucking times do I have to stay, do you have any motherfucking idea what they are strapping themselves down with? I see new vests. What do they do? They hold more random shit. They might hold more ammo for the officer, but other than that, they DON'T hold more weapons than what they normally fucking carry. The highest lethal weapons in the past and now that i see are assault rifles (non-automatic) and sniper rifles (snipers have long been accepted into the police force for hostage and other situations AND HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENT ON FERGUSON POLICE so you can't claim them as actually having anything more lethal with them. At most, they have more rounds, and more stun grenades with them as a result of a vest that lets them carry more shit. BE SCARED MOTHERFUCKERS, HE HAS MORE POCKETS!!!
No, I don't know damn well. How the military appearance actually make them more effective?
So you agree that they are trained to see the worst and protect us from it? How often they see the best is far rarer and obviously cannot be applied to the overall crowd in Ferguson.
I'm not the fatalist. Godot is. And he can see how stupid, reckless, and dangerous people as a group are.
For the last fucking time. Treating your citizens like they're in a war zone is wrong on multiple levels. If you're cool with being treated like a threat to your nation, be my guest, but don't act like everyone should be.
fine. tell me how many cops in the ferguson police force aren't local.
It's cool that you're able to completely misconstrue the conversation. The topics discussed have clearly taken on broader scope, don't be a fuck.
So a few police incidents can tell us that the entire goddamn Ferguson department is corrupt? Sing it again, Erick, how the may are maligned by the mistakes of a few. Hallelujah!
What do successful black people have to do with this whatsoever?
I listen to radio stations, which are supposed to have the current, popular music. And I have been to clubs and all sorts of shit. It is not racism that influences me, but experience. HOW THE FUCK DOES MUSIC NOT EQUATE TO PEOPLE'S VALUES? THE SONG SAYS ONE THING AND YOU FUCKING SAY YOU LIKE IT FOR THE BEAT?! That would make sense if there was real music accompanying rap and not beats that it takes 2 brain cells rubbing together to reproduce on percussion instruments. If a song you really like does not represent you... why the fuck do you like the song? FUCKING POSER. Say what you mean, don't pretend ignorance. Hypocrite.
See what I'm getting at? Music =/= Values. You sound like a parent from the 90's who things Marilyn Manson is evil
One deserves to be aware of the negative stigma they induce because of their taste in music. How the fuck I dress tells a lot about me. The tattoos I fucking have or don't have say something about me. The music I listen to says a lot about me. To say anything different is ignorant as fuck, Erick. Ask an employer how they feel about tattoos and you'll get different answers. Wake the fuck up. What you do, what you say, what you enjoy says things about you. Don't be stupid.
Again: I guess that must mean that all white people are all about beer, breakups, and the backwoods. Clearly, that's the message they're sending to society... Oh wait, nobody takes that shit at face value, and Hip-hip/rap shouldn't be taken at face-value (Unless the artist states otherwise)Thug- a violent person, esp a criminal. I call bullshit. I've only seen thug life used to rationalize a life of violence to take what a person desires. Might makes right for thugs.
You're really gonna sit here and tell me what part of the culture I've not only lived, but studied means? Fuck outta here.
I'm glad i mentioned it was for an example of first impressions. Because you totally missed that part. If I was some dude who only judged by the cover, I would not have so goddam much to write in response. This is just what the words mean to me, a whitewashed mexican (a coconut some would say- brown on the outside, white on the inside). I know a lot of how the presiding white people think, because I fucking grew up among them. If you can't look at my analysis and take it fucking serious... then you are completely blind to the gap between cultures, because I am fucking spelling it out to you. I'm not saying it's right, but you're dismissing it out of hand like it's nothing for you to consider when nothing is further from the truth.
Golly! Like you've been doing with half the shit I've said?
Cop defends himself from male who was resisting arrest and attacked him. Tell me what rights were violated. As it stands, that 'fact' has yet to be determined.
Kid is dead for either robbery/assaulting an officer. Both offense that require a trial. Tell me where the violation of rights didn't occur.
A 1/100 exception makes the general rule completely unfeasable?! Fucking math and logic says the one is the exception and the rest will likely be a certain way.
Don't tell me you expect most mexicans to be white? Or do you expect them to be brown? herp derp, experience determines all.
You clearly have little-to-no knowledge on hip-hop and the artists within the genre. Therefore, you don't know what the rule or the exception is.
-
The autopsy report didn't prove the cop's innocence, where the fuck did you get that?
There are two possible conclusions from the autopsy results, so don't start misconstruing facts to support your viewpoint on the matter.
-
What did you mean then if police weren't actually killing protestors? Speak up now, because that is what you said.
"Killer Mike"
He identifies himself as a killer. I am so likely to take his word seriously, Neo. So serious, Imma call 911 and report his ass. Killer knows all about peace and protests and law enforcement that doesn't kill anyone because he obviously has experience. He totally stands out from all the other shit rappers that brag how they are ganster and off everybody who looks and them wrong or gets in they way. It wasn't a black culture that said a man's word is his bond, because I can't count as high as there are rappers who are full if it.
Neo. WTF is this shit?
I will edit to add more once I have listened to the full video. Prepare your anus, Neo.
Edit:
prison as the cornerstone of economics... right...
because prisoners aren't fucking treated better than US infantry soldiers. Because it doesn't cost taxpayers millions/billions to provide for prisoners.
Judging a book by the name on the spine, cool.
Also, prison-industrial complex. Ever heard of it?
Maelstrom, on 22 Aug 2014 - 7:13 PM, said:
"Police see a lot more of the worst in human behavior, they don't see the best. It's their job to protect us from the worst.
Hence why they see the worst more often than they see the best. Don't leave those few words out.
Using ex-military in the police. That has been true for a long time. Using military tactics? They are relevant to a police job. Militarizing police? Didn't he just acknowledge that they were hiring ex-military for the police?
You know damn well that hiring ex-military and having the police strapped to the teeth are different things.
An area policed by strangers.
Bitch, don't you realize how that means the area is policed by people who are unaware of local bias, racism, and hypocrisy? They see the situation without prior bias from the area. It isn't about the cops having prior bias, it's about the cops knowing the community that they police. When the neighborhood knows the cops, they can trust them, they don't fear the police. The police can also relate to the people of that community AND perform their job more effectively.Children do childish stuff. Police are human and make human mistakes.
"It's systematic" Oprah, Michael Jordan, LeBron, JayZ, Beyonce... they have these examples, but they're the exception. OK. They have far more people telling them to be different. Other rappers and gang members. Which is easier? To be talented and creative or anybody else? Clearly you completely missed what Mike had to say. A few people cannot represent and entire group of people. These people had very and I mean VERY special avenues open to them to get into their position.black males are the least looked upon. Okay. what values do black males profess? I can only look the the most obvious and blatant media examples: the rappers who talk about sex, weed, money. The dude who raps about taking your girl, shooting people, and driving fancy cars. Maybe that's not who they are, but that's what it says to me when popular artists become popular. You think anybody listening to that shit wants a thing to do with people who share those values? Get mean mugged and beat a nigga up? Fuck no. The people who have the money, who have power over the money making jobs... they don't want those kinds of people. They can't trust people who seem to have those values.Congratulations, you said the most racist thing in forum history. First, you make sweeping generalizations about two cultures that are intertwined, then you go onto say that a form of entertainment equates to our values. I guess white people are all about eating chicken fried steak, breaking up with women, and living in the backwoods, because that's the impression that country music gives off. I guess Latinos are all about partying and love songs because that's the impression their music gives off.
Then, after all that you have the gall to say 'nigga' and proceed to say that because of the music these people put out, and in turn the music that people listen to that 'nobody wants these kind of people because they can't trust people who share those values'. I wasn't aware that a) choice of music equated to one's values and
that one deserves economic disenfranchisement BECAUSE of what they listen to and the perceived values they hold."Violate the rights of an 18 yo african american child." The cop had little way of knowing his age. Even the parents said he looked older than he was. The way he said it you think he was conscious of the fact that he was african american and a child. Does age and race matter to anyone who is attacked? Certainly not the forefront of MY mind if I was out in public and had a disagreement with a stranger and got attacked.Way to focus on the wrong part of the fuckin' statement. The issue stands with the fact that his rights were violated. Race comes into play when you look at the long history this nation has with systematic racism.
The president said there is a perception and there is a reality.
"This 'thug life' has to end. It serves to fill cemeteries and prisons for foolishness." I couldn't agree more. The concept of 'Thug Life' was born out of complete distrust for the system. It encourages blacks to live their lives outside of that system and protect them and their own. So while I'm sure you agree with what the president said, I don't for a second believe you agree with why he said it.Oh, so he is killer Mike because he kills microphones. He's the first person I've heard to have a reasonable explanation for a name like that. With no background context OTHER THAN THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF RAPPERS BEFORE HIM, I thought the worst of him. What's in a name? Connotation. That is the goddam answer. Connotation.Wasn't aware you needed an explanation before passing judgement. Judging a book by what's on the spine is an easy way to get the wrong idea from the book.
Gangster rapper is tongue in cheek. Okay. Glad there was a waving flag that told me he was different from all the other fucking rappers out there.
Damn, bruh, you sure are good with that broom. More sweeping generalizations.
Replies in bold, and I apologize for fucking up the page formatting.

Unless 58+ people vote 'no, no wifi clause', I think it's safe to say that it'll be implemented in some form.
-
There wouldn't be riots because the cop would've been arrested. But because it's a black child that was killed, people fish for all kinds of excuses. 'He was a thug' 'He's from the ghetto anyway' 'He would've committed a crime anyway.' That's the problem.
-
In the same vein that moody and evasion are banned, Wifi clause should be enabled. It's about minimizing the game of chance and giving both players as close to an even field as possible.One of the reasons for having Wifi is the added chance for predictions and analysing the enemies team. Correct? Someone said that without it battles turns into a game of chance. I'm not gonna go look for that specific quote, but i have to ask what is wrong with a game of chance? I mean, you're already rolling the dice with the find battle button. There's no guarantee you'll find a competent player, and chance, in the form of Hax, is a gameplay element that can make or break a win.
-
Please, for the love the god. Present an argument other than 'I/other people don't like it'You don't seem to understand that some people simply don't like wifi, no matter what changes it may/may not bring. If they don't like it, they don't like it.
Rupe-wifi clause would affect lower tiers as well.
-
4 people cannot be used for any major measure when the server has 60+ people on average.
If the person doesn't want team preview, they don't have to ladder on the default ladder. The issue here is that the vast majority of people expect certain things from any ladder worth its salt, and one of them is Wifi clause.
-
Because a lot of people come to Reborn specifically BECAUSE there's no team preview.
You =/= a lot of people.
What really end up happening is that people get here, then they like to latch onto 'muh rebarn culture' (Again, something I'm guilty of in the past), and oppose any sort of change. Progress, in the right direction mind you, is good. This is a change that we should welcome in order to foster the growth of Reborn.
-
I encourage y'all to watch this interview with Killer Mike. He raises some very good points relating to the discussion that's occurred over the last few pages.
-
Welcome to Reborn.
p.s.I'm a grill ;^) -
Student riots? Like that guard station that got trashed? Or the random ass civil rights parades that keep me and several others from performing everyday essential life things? Or all these posters and cars and trucks that are still driving around today telling us that all cops are blood thirsty killers?
I must be blind! I need to see the light! Or start watching Fox News.
Also, blocking roads for peaceful protests? That isn't peaceful protest. That is grade A. Bullshit. If I wasn't with my grandparents at the time, I would have ran those dumb asses over. In a way. The cops are protecting these dumb ass protesters from Blunt and Sarcastic realists like myself.
Also, I do know America is corrupt. Every country and business organization in the whole damn world is corrupt. It is just that they are corrupt in ways that I don't give a crap about.
Also, this crap going on in Fergison isn't news. That place was already crap before it hit the news. The real issue is that the ignorant are being given knowledge that they don't know how to use or handle. And fun fact! Things along this nature happen all the fucking time. I keep bringing up events that you guys don't know too much about because this crap all happens all the time actually. I just keep mentioning the particular instances that happened locally. I am just kinda surprised that Erick doesn't know about some of the events I mentioned. Mael knew about them and he hasn't been in the area in years.
Nah, b. I keep up with all sorts of shit, it just wasn't 100% relevant to the discussion at hand, that being increased militarization of police and the problems it poses to citizens.
The shit that goes down with cops getting away with killing innocent people whether they be black, mexican, asian, or white pisses me off.
-
Golly, thanks for the contribution. The discussion is finally settled, wow, such a decisive final word.
-
And other people have specifically come here because of no preview.
Neo-one of the draws of reborn is that they do things differant;y, and don't just blindly follow other communities like sheep. Also, we all know about find battle-that's the problem. It takes no time at all to get a battle using that button, and if you lot get your way, I'm expecting a lot of 'can I haz battle' messages in chat.
Bruh, in the past I was the one of it then THE biggest supporter of "keep reborn different", however being for the sake of different can only get a community. Adopting a standard doesn't make you a sheep, it gives you room to grow by making the community accessible. It opens up our userbase to a wider array of people AND pushes reborn that much closer to being the big community that it wants to be.
-
Okay, since it's clear some of y'all are missing the point.
Unless that button is pressed, you DO NOT have to use Wifi clause. It won't affect anything BUT that one button and the battles that occur when its pressed.
-
You seem awfully okay with the increased militarization of police forces across America.
Also, while they DO have vehicles like that in Afg, they don't fucking put all the bells and whistles on them like the one shown in the pic. Notice the retweet "We didn't equip our MRAPs like this in Afghanistan"
-
I disagree. AO have shown enough dedication to their wifi that I'm pretty sure they'd play it amongst themselves.
Yeah, because we had them keep Clear Skies alive last gen.
No, that's fucking silly.
We've got an opportunity to NOT repeat the mistakes of last gen, so I say we take the chance and jump forward.(Despite being one of the biggest people against it, I can soundly say that the weather ban should've made its way to OU)
The ONLY arguments for wifi thus far have been "I don't like it" or "I don't like AO". It's clear that Wifi clause is the standard in the Pokemon world, a standard that transcends tier differences, so it makes perfect sense for Reborn to adopt this standard.
-
It seems like a certain someone in this thread is less pro-no preview and more anti-AO, which is really shitty reasoning when it comes to policy change. The default OU ladder needs to have wifi clause, otherwise nothing will come of it.
-
-
The kkk are staying in one spot and aren't looting at night. Police claim instigators hiding among the crowds and night doing things instigators do, instead of letting things get settled.
Protestors =/= Looters
Most people in the community are opposed to looting, don't start misconstruing things.
-
You don't just aim your fucking gun at something you don't intend to shoot.
And making history, Amnesty International observers are on the ground in the US for the first time ever.
If the announcement comes out tomorrow, and that cop isn't going on trial, then I fear for the worst.
-
It is real. Coke's started pushing out their products in all containers with League champs to hype up the Korean finals
-
So, about him charging that cop.
-
Please tell me how a lombre of the same lvl can do MORE damage with Fury Swipes then A Jolly Technician Meowth? and also how a Servine can 1 shot a Sassy venonat with Leaf Tornado? How is that possible? I hear SCMowns2's Steven Logic right here
