I can only judge based on what I've been presented, you've clearly decided not to post deeper thoughts so why should I keep probing? It felt like the conversation was over so I politely abdicated.

After catching up on the past week or so of OT, some of y'all need to apologize to ichi and take this shit to PMs. Maybe not in that order.

The bottom line of all this, for me, is that we should not judge the intentions of the many based on the actions of a few. We need to judge people as individuals and take actions accordingly based on those individual's actions.
And, yes, if you are a bystander and do nothing, you are complicit in the results. This applies regardless of which side of the disagreement you are on.

Nah. He actually started it. We had pretty much avoided the subject.

Oh and my concern that coovd is being used as an excuse for things that have a very different actual cause.

Very deliberately not taking sides on a car forum; however, when I said that to my parents after fighting with my older brother, I still got the wooden spoon.
It was pretty civil and then escalated quickly. I think it exemplifies why political topics are frowned upon in places not specifically intended for them. |

This why I abandoned the Covid threads since political leanings were ruling what was being said.

So I've chosen to avoid most forms of social media. I know a lot of people will assume my silence as pro-agenda for whichever side, but I'd rather stay out of the matter.

Personally, I'd rather not speak about it. (I'm a double minority, my voice isn't any louder or quieter than anyone else exercising their free speech. Welcome to america) If you're not saying anything, it's fine. It doesn't mean you're being complicit. It just means you are exercising your right to not say anything at all which can be a form of speech. Silence. Big surprise. Or it can mean you're neutral and you're waiting for all of the actual facts to be released to make a decision. Since this thread is called random thoughts.... I haven't watched the news in a year and a half. Just decided to turn it all off. I hear things from people and then I MIGHT do some research myself. So can ANYONE tell me for sure this cop was a racist and not just a power tripping officer that manslaughtered another human? Race isn't even relevant unless it can be proven that it is. He could easily just be a s*** human.
