Misdirection?
Bored bureucrats trying to justify their jobs by doing something?
Crazy weird racial groups lobbying for a black chic on a bill (<10)?
Lobbying contractors wanting the production job?
The will of the majority? ...Can't wait to hear their explanation. Boy can they solve problems.
- bored bureaucrats waste so much damn money doing stupid shit it's not even funny... at least this one isn't aimed at active discriminationmonospaced
- and having a woman on the bill is hardly "crazy," "weird," or "racial"monospaced
- to convert a culture you need icons that represent the struggle. where were you in 1939?yurimon
- I sure hope you aren't implying history only matters if you were alive while it's being made, yuri.monospaced
- < when your mush shows up on a bank note, i'll be sure to wipe my fucking arse with it.face_melter
- precisely deathboy, let's make it look like we care and distract what's really going on in government by putting a less historic figure on $20drake-von-drake
- but let's make sure she's black and a women. o.Odrake-von-drake
- just like gay marriage, nothing was decided upon by the people themselves. jammed down our throats. *sighdrake-von-drake
- I'd argue gay marriage is an extension of the civil rights movement, decided on by the people who want them to have the same rights to marriage as anyone else.monospaced
- and it's not forced down your throat, it doesn't affect you in any way whatsoevermonospaced
- just like putting a woman on the bill doesn't change its value from $20, or your ability to pull it from an ATM and spend it how you choosemonospaced
- jeez i was making a joke about gov self interests while pointing out complete lack of peoples desire for such a thing. use dickbutt i dont care.deathboy
- I wouldn't say gay marriage is an extension of civil rights at all. It's completely different, in fact but go on with your beliefs, their yours.drake-von-drake
- id much prefer they get there finances in check to make sure a twenty maintains its purchasing power as a twenty. picture is irrelevantdeathboy
- States should be able to decide what they want, not 9 out of touch judges, that were SUBJECTIVELY named FFS! I don't which decision.drake-von-drake
- sorry.. 'don't care which decision' dude. Fucking federal government dictating for States, FUCK OFFdrake-von-drake
- @deathboy, no, you brought up great points, it all seems quite conveniently and subjectively decided / dictated. An anarchist would say "FUCK OFF."drake-von-drake
- hey, if the south decided to reinstate segregation, why not right? ;)monospaced
- i am curious mono what you believe would happen if private businesses were allowed to discriminate? have you thought it throughdeathboy
- Of course gay rights are like the civil rights before them. People are born with a sexual orientation, it's not something they can control, just like skin colormonospaced
- u sound like a person who says if u=you legalize weed everyone will be stoned and society will falldeathboy
- allowing business to discriminate simply promotes the dangerous idea that certain people have more/less rights than othersmonospaced
- as a pothead myself, I am admittedly a little worried that it could negatively affect certain things, yes ... I'm really for decriminalizationmonospaced
- haha well that not much of an answer, and what it promotes is your opinion. the fact is it simply grants "equal" rights.deathboy
- https://en.wikipedia…drake-von-drake
- remember people don't have the rights to others labors. that is the error the laws make for PCdeathboy
- my opinion is the laws that promote PC ideals do more harm for equal rights and understanding than good. id start a business to walk in to shop and buy fordeathboy
- look at that market based solution that undermines peoples own irrational beliefsdeathboy
- ^ agreeddrake-von-drake
- but still i was just making a joke. perhaps not a good onedeathboy
- the irony is, it's similar with drastic increases to the minimum wage, it ends up hurting the extreme poor. *face palmdrake-von-drake
- Personally, I think the decision to allow blacks the same rights as white was a good decision. Same with women and voting. Same with gays and marriage.monospaced
- How ANY of those have done any harm to society is beyond me. And your joke, not really a good one ;)monospaced
- Wow, I can't believe I'm defending basic human rights and anti discrimination in this day and age. Have a nice day.monospaced
- The joke in anti-discrimination laws is that they have been created by people who cant discriminate between equal rights, or group rights.deathboy
- my sense of humor probably is only shared by other cynical misanthropic assholesdeathboy
- yes, and a fair share of misogynists and racists too ;)monospaced
- misogynists? jesus take a look at 50% of the threads here yo. As for misanthropic, I am that way by nature as well. I see no point. LOLdrake-von-drake
- @deathboy https://en.wikipedia…drake-von-drake
- you're not going to convince me that the prevalence of misogyny is an argument for discrimination against womenmonospaced
- would not hiring a woman for a job who was planning on having a kid or paying her less be a wrongful discrimination? curious if u ever had a racist thought?deathboy
- this whole anti-discrimination bit is just PC ideals. Which i agree w/ in theory. Should not discriminate based on trivial shit. But as laws they make 0 sensedeathboy
- and have quite the opposite of the laws intentions. It simply gives a free pass to a group over others. That is just a plain and simple fact.deathboy
- IMO, anyone that's every had a racist thought is a "racist." The PC crap is just companies not wanting to get sued in an ultra litigious society. Marketing donedrake-von-drake
- to sell as many product to as many people as possible of all races. Especially those races that waste their money more than others.drake-von-drake
- Wow.monospaced
