Kneeling at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider....

[Hop Sing]

No matter how you look at this picture it is disrespectful!! It doesn't matter what country you are from or the color of your skin. I really wish people would quit making everything a race thing. This is the United States of America. Everyone is born with the same opportunities and with out prejudice.

The stupidty that we are seeing today is taught plain and simple!!

it's only disrespectful if the guy is kneeling in protest and we don't know that. That's all I am saying, is we don't know why he is kneeling. Who knows, maybe the guy lost a father or brother and is overcome by emotion. I get that way at my father's grave (WWII vet, MS, 8th AAF).

I think their heads need to be stroked in the process......

Damn straight, my good man! Although I still think it is a clever ruse by the Ruskies to get people all agitated.

CoastRange57,
You sir, are not slow and I am happy to clarify my response.

I have zero problem with your post and in fact agree with you 100%. When I use my face-palm avatar or any other face-palm, it means that I too am saddened by what also aggravated you. It means that I cannot believe anyone is doing this and being so disrespectful. In this case, the story you linked to got my full five face-palm rating of utter disgust.

I hope this clears it up.

• How about protest by voting? only 60% of African Americans voted last election.
• How about protesting by getting a job with the police and holding yourself and your fellow officers to higher standards?
• How about working through the ranks to police chief and then controlling the police directly?
• How about protesting by not taking the money the department of defense is paying you to stand for the national anthem before a game and giving that money to inner city youth programs?
• How about protesting by not letting the media manipulate into how to think?
• How about protesting by not letting PAC commercials tell you how to vote?
• How about protesting by going to school and learning critical thinking?
• How about protesting by never voting incumbent? Let them fear for their jobs

So many non-disrespectful ways to protest.

Dangerous and radical thinking, Doc.

So the Seahawks players have started a non profit and all money will be donated to organizations that need it. Rumars have it that they would like the first to go for extra training for our boys in blue. IMO that is a nice start and hopefully this will lead to more people supporting our first responders.

NOW lead by example and stand for the national anthem boys!!

Easy response to this would be a head kick, but that's me.
Kneeling put's that grape right in my goldilock's zone.

Typical socialist/elitist BS. Start a non-profit and then expect their fans and others to donate to it because it is such great cause. I got an idea, Why don't each of those overpaid PsOS donate 10% of THEIR income to it?? God knows they could spare it. I believe that's the standard tithing rate. Overnight the non-profit would have more money than it could spend. But no, lean on the people that are making them rich to support their virtue--signaling.
I'm not religious, but I believe there is a parable about a woman who is being harassed because of her small contribution. Christ points out that she as given all she has, while the hecklers have given an insignificant percentage. Perhaps someone more versed in such things can expand on that, but I think it gets to the heart of what is going on here.

I get it and I know some have but I'm sure not all!

Sure,when a friend of this retard dies I wonder what would happen to a person that would go to that persons funeral and makes an bubblegum of himself to protest a false narrative.
Does any leftist think he will have people around him that will scold him for not taking it kindly? Will they defend his first amendment rights then? I think not.

 

[Heywood]

This is what they do not think about. The message is lost in the method of delivery. Choose a different delivery method that does not offend a lot of people and you stand a chance of being taken seriously.

It is not lost on them or the people that encourage it. They do it the way they do as there is no debating the issue at the time they do it.
They are protesting a false narrative and they know it. This is a method that affords them the ability to "protest" were people can't confront them.
To prove my point, has any of these idiots actually debated the issue with the people they are trying to besmirch? It is the modern equivalent to simply calling someone a racist when they know they would lose the argument.

Hey no problem, sometimes I do not interpret things right if they are a bit obtuse, guess I spend too much time on some of these forums. I thought that was what you were meaning, but wanted to make sure. Thanks for response and your concern as well. It is the mans right to do that, don't mean we have to agree with it.

Because a charitable trust is one of the all time greatest tax dodges out there. In wealth management circles they have seminars and classes on it. You can give a ton of money away to the trust but once it's in he trust you can use it for whatever you want. Ask Chelsea Clinton.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Any and all protests and the method of, have lost all meaning and ligitmaticy when you do it in a dissrespectiful manor! All these protests have acomplished is nothing but to further devide and stir up hate, and for what? What the bubblegum has gotten these bubblegum so workes up in the first place!! Some one is pulling some strings behind the golden curtain, and i bet you dollara to bullets we all know who the puppet master is! Lets think about it, when we had that bubblegum black potus, so much positive could have taken place, and yet we are more devided then ever! How did that happen? Then that bubblegum potus invites the leaders of BLM to the peoples house for dinner and a movie and then the race devide worsend! When our new potus won, we got a instant hit from the left with all the new rash of protest groups! Where the bubblegum did these bubblegum come from, and now we have even more protest groups! Add in the proceved enequety, and you jave the triggers for social unreast, or worse, revolution! Who do you think would benifit most from this?

With all due respect, I still think you guys are getting all worked up about a fake news photo created by the Russians.

Maybe, I suppose anything is possible these days. If it does come out that it was anything other than what it appears to be and there was some really good reason for him kneeling ....... then I will eat crow.

However, until it's proven to be anything other than what it appears to be ......... I am offended.

Also, I am not offended by your comments Hop Sing. Nothing wrong with being skeptical.
