I know I'm reaching, but is RFK, Jr. thinking Tylenol is Evil partly because of the Tylenol Murders in Chicago in September 1982?

(RFK, Jr. was arrested for possession of heroin in September 1983, so it's likely he was using drugs in 1982, which would have affected his "thinking".)

I know it's a very looooong shot, but I was visiting family in Chicago at the time, and I witnessed the public hysteria firsthand. (My aunt even went through my luggage looking for Tylenol because the public had been told to throw it all away.)

The Tylenol Murders are why we have all this protective packaging on OTC medicine today, to prove there was no tampering. The terror was very real.

"Thinking of the terror of facing death when you know you are not right with God.”
Why would i feel terror from that? I mean, there’s a gun. That’s terrifying enough for me. But the invisible leprechaun being disappointed in me? Least of my concerns.

Most of them seem to miss that part of the Bible. Which actually isn’t that surprising considering many of them attend mega churches and those pastors don’t really want them to know about the whole helping the poor and the needy and the sick and welcoming in the stranger. Those pastors want their flock to donate so that they can have yachts and private jets.

"Take a look at the average for indoctrination: 1. Average amount of hours per child per school year in Public School: 1000 ONE THOUSAND HOURS”
So, about 150 days.
Of course, one hour per day is lunch.
About one hour per day taken up by class change, the morning announcements, the pledge.
One hour is phys ed.
So, more like 538 hours.
Or 90 hours a year, IFF there are six other subjects.

And frankly, if your kid takes their phone to school, the teachers are NOT brainwashing them in those 90 hours.
Because that’d be the first thing to go. The phones.
If your kid is not constantly asking for more paper, pencils, pens to bring to school so he’s prepared for the lesson, he’s not brainwashed.
If they’re keeping a can of Axe body spray in their locker, there’s no BW.

“ I don't understand why anyone praises this liberal organ of Satan.”

The old joke about the priest and the rabbi… Traveling together, they get to know each other, finally , the priest asks if the rabbi has ever tasted pork. Rabbi admits that, in a moment of weakness, he did indeed take some from a breakfast buffet. Regrets.
Then HE asks the priest if he ever had sex. Similar response, one time, moment of weakness, temptation, yadda-yadda-bing-bang. Regrets.

After a moment of contemplation, the rabbi jostled the priest’s elbow, “Beats the shit out of bacon, doesn’t it?”

“He was strongly against war, and his lyrics and songs moved America and the entire world in a way never before, and the government was terrified of this.”
And yet, at no point has the military budget debate been affected by someone on the House or Senate floor bringing up Lennon lyrics.
Frankly, peace is FINE for the military industrial complex. As long as there’s a possibility of war, we’ll keep selling arms, and updating arms, and adding extended warrantees, and advanced operator schools… War’s great for the turnover, but there’s also a direct and visible accounting of accuracy and dependability. Peactime sales are much better.

“can the process of EVOLUTION have taken a foothold as per you EVOLUTIONISTS without the existence of the Universe..”
The universe is comprised of everything that exists. Without that, what would the process of evolution act upon?

“It is beneficial for dumb fucks to be forced to live with the consequences of their dumb fuckery.”
Wait, wait, wait. My wife can’t have an abortion if she’s raped because the child doesn’t deserve the punishment… But punishing the kid for getting pregnant ALSO punishes the baby with an unprepared mother… Who benefits?

“To save them from Hell; if we deny gay marriage and adoption then that will force homos to be straight and marry the opposite gender, thus saving their souls from Hell!”
Yeah, it was popular in the 60s and 70s, called ‘living a lie.’ Deep in the closet, lying to themselves, their families. Which fell apart when they all came out of the closet in the mid-70s.

“It's the Christian thing to do!”
Hateful, intolerant, forcing a lie, destroying families, lasting repercussions….

“Atheism is a religion for people who worship themselves instead of God.”
Well, the evidence for my existence is a lot better than anything for gods.

“Atheists tend to suffer from a rare, more aggressive form of unwarranted self-importance.”
Who the fuck are YOU to say it’s unwarranted? Fucking peasant!

“Atheists typically think they are smarter than you no matter what.”
Comma or semicolon after ‘than you,’ sweetie.

"Just try to correct them on something and prepare to be blasted away with some "SERIOUS ****ING LOGIC".”
You’re afraid of harsh words, huh?
So fucking adult.

“Don't you guys know that God doesn't believe in atheists?”
Why would i care at all what your invisible skybeast does or does not believe?

“Atheists are never moral because they do not believe in God.”
So, that’s why i have never been in jail, never been to HR, never been fired for workplace misbehaving… I’ve probably spent more time thinking on morals than you have.

“What do you mean "no organism evolves on it's own"? Isn't that the point of macroevolution?”
That’s adorable. YOu have NO IDEA how evolution works, and when that’s pointed out, you insist your misunderstanding is accurate. Because no one knows more than you do about a topic you already dismissed…

OP is one of the like 10 people who don’t deny the Holocaust while also being a Nazi at the same time.
The only other example I know of is an imgurr image collection where (I presume a pol user) debunks a lot of holocaust denial claims.

As to the rest, if Bonespurs thought he could get a dollar more for being one, he’d certainly pose as one.

“God's Word will not be mocked...”
Which is why the 1st Amendment proves this country was NOT based on Christain principles, huh?

“You will die in your sins and spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, the second death unless you repent.”
Same threat, the best argument you guys have for your god is that he’ll punish me for an honest opinion.

“My venomous words are meant to cut to the core of your blackened soul”
You just look the same as any other impotent, self-important, small little man hiding behind a statue.

“and for your own good. Wake up dude, your time is short. In the game of life you are on the losing side...”
I don’t find this threat all that credible, sorry.

Anon #racist #psycho

“ If my ancestors were accused of murdering untold millions of Jews, I would be puffing out my chest beaming with pride.”

Not motivated enough to want to be known as a mass murderer himself, but if he can grab some of that glory, however distant, he’ll take it.

Finally, one of them points it out!
My hunch is any combination of the following:
1. they do not actually disbelieve in the Holocaust, they just say these things to be cruel/edgy.
2. they do not want to accept the atrocious realities of their fantasy, having just enough humanity left to find them hard to stomach.
3. they do not want to accept the logistic realities of their fantasy, as if turns out the Final Solution is in truth far from an simple and cheap solution.

Sorry, but my interpretation was that she is saying that fascism only existed in the trenches of WW2. Aka only Mussolini and such were fascists and modern day far-right-wingers are not.

This seems to be a common belief in modern-day right-wingers as a means to deny they’re fascists when they most certainly are.

Maybe your interpretation is the correct one, but tbh OPs wording isn’t as clear as it should be.

Is everyone here lacking reading comprehension? She is not endorsing fascism. No, she is saying that, unless your political struggle takes the form of actual combat on a literal battlefield, you are not fighting for a cause, you are just a slactivist.
(Of course, she probably thought it needless to say that this standard does not apply to TERFs, and especially not to her own activities!)

PS:
She also seems to be completely ignorant of the many letters and diaries from soldiers at the front-lines of basically any war.

Most murders, most violent assaults, are committed by people that are known to the victims. Not random strangers poking around with violent intent or surprise.
If all murderers were to be removed from society in an instant, i really doubt the murder rate in any given area would drop all that much.
People would still finally reach their breaking point over whatever drives their conflict, kids, pregnancies, blame, mothers in law, frustration at work, sex, lack of sex, wrong sex, sex with the wrong partner… And you’d have to start all over again.

(and also “tone of voice” — women will actually pick a fight over a man’s tone of voice! “Don’t you use that tone with me!”).

Well, yeah…I think that applies to men talking to women or women talking to men, or really just anyone talking to anyone. Isn’t that an obvious thing? The way you say something often means as much if not more than the actual words.

Since 1945 the Jews have done a remarkable thing: They invented a new religion

They kinda already had a religion, so why would they have to invent a new one? And it ain’t like inventing a new religion is really too remarkable, anyway, people do it all the time.

Ever sit in hours of traffic for a trip that used to take 20 minutes? That’s the direct result of millions of people who don’t belong here clogging the roads.

Do you really think that’s some kind of NEW thing?? In the words of Sammy Hagar (“I Can’t Drive 55″, recorded in 1984):

What used to take two hours now takes all day
Huh, it took me sixteen hours to get to L.A.

Also, I remember going to see Metallica back in 1999, at the Pontiac Silverdome…that would have been a 1-hour drive at MOST from where I was with normal traffic, but I guess I failed to account for the 50,000 people all trying to get into the same place at once…took me literally 2 HOURS to go the last two miles, LOL

We see people of all races walking with their heads held high, proud to be of whatever race
or religion never to be persecuted or questioned as to their motives.
Except for the Whites!

If I believed for one nanosecond that you and those of your ilk wouldn’t persecute or question motives of people of other races or religions, that might ALMOST be a sorta valid point….but, nope, sorry, not buying that. AT ALL.

1. The Christian Church is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ,

OK, we’re starting out all right so far, that makes sense…in further news, water is wet, and bears shit in the woods, but whatever…

and I am not aware of Him ever advocating Genocide

Well, his dad (who’s also him) didn’t seem to have any qualms about a little genocide, did he? Or does the flood not count because God did it? (never mind that that couldn’t have happened as described in the Bible for a BUNCH of different reasons)

anyone who proclaims themselves as having “high IQ” expect them to be the dumbest people you’ll ever meet

YES! I’ve always hated that when I’ve seen it. Not just for the fact that someone’s just proclaiming themselves as that, but it seems a bit… pretentious maybe? Whatever happened to describing something or someone as “intelligent” or even just “smart”?

By “tribalism was illegal” you really mean “Supreme Court told us we couldn’t segregate the schools no more” because of course you fuckers are still butthurt over the end of segregation even after between 70 plus to 60 plus years after it ended which just proves to me and alot of other folks that White “Supremacist” and fascist beliefs are just a bunch of angry knownothing idiots pissed that things aren’t like the good old days of when your side (that being white men) can do whatever the fuck you want and to hell with everyone else.
