  • Interesting how a few months changes things. As recently as mid summer, the general impression was that the younger generation is politically inactive and insulated from issues of our day.

    OWS isn't going away, and police brutality is making it go viral.

  • @Deliverance02x What the fuck you talking about? Liberals are FOR PERSONAL RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS THAT DON'T INFRINGE ON OTHERS. Your a fucking idiot, the cancer is the .01% that is making this country how shitty it is, maybe you should actually go to school rather than be a dumb ass inbred, seeing as your name is deliverance which is a movie with inbreed in it. Is this where your name comes from?

  • @Tboy91 You're not helping.

  • Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

  • I have to disagree with you here, Cenk. How do you think America was formed? It definitely wasn't because of peaceful protests. I believe that these protests are gathering of sticks and the police/government brutality are the fuel. All we need is the ignition and watch the flame burn down our corrupt government and start anew. As much as I hate people getting hurt or possibly killed, sometimes a revolution of some sort is necessary to straighten up our country.

  • I think you are absolutely right. People have a right to speak their minds. But as soon as they throw something they are on the wrong side. We have to embrace non-vilence at every turn. I appreciate their courage too.

  • @Imhornydadcomeinside As much as I'd like to use you as an insult to Europeans, I won't because I know it's not fair and you're no where near the intellect level of the average European. You're an embarrassment. You've proven you don't even have a child's grasp on logic and reasoning. Have a great life living in a delusional world where your semi audible chimp grunts count as sound arguments. =)

  • people who believe violence can not be met with violence are suicidal.

    It has nothing to do with republican/democrat/left/right and other zombie-sheeple categories.

    Self-protective survival requires violence. All else is cutting your own neck open so you can be killed on command.

  • @harmon756 And it's funny how stupid americans bashed when supierior europeans can't spell perfect english, oh, like you are sophisticated enough to learn another lagnuage, fat american?

    AMERICANS OWNED YESS! OMG YOU GOT SO OWNED.

  • @harmon756 yeah, because "lol aryan redneck" didn't meant white people in america, you just bashed on indians!

    Lol, fucking irony! Why did you used this term in the first place? becuase hitler used the word aryan to define "white people", although the term wasn't refered to white euopreans IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE.

    Hindu eastern term.

  • @Imhornydadcomeinside Your post is incredibly ironic for two reasons. 1. You start by saying "and AGAIN you show your inferior intellect" and then you cite a definition of the word Aryan, that I never disputed, but you failed to realize because... Well, I'll just leave it at that. 2. You demonstrate you have a fifth grade grasp on the English language. Reread your comment and mark the areas that sound like a chimp wrote them. You've got five minutes! =)
