  • i have a trade that involves working outdoors, medical, saving lives type of gig. i was a whistleblower for wage theft against the people we worked for. because of that ive been blacklisted. Ive been told literally by the people that were fired for stealing our overtime hours that I have no future with them. No promotions no nothing. Similarly I’ve directed a video that was shown on MTV. I barely made any money and had to scrape by.

    sometimes hard work doesn’t pay off, even when you do all the right things. Not saying im hopeless just thats what happened to me. But im happy for your cousin that it did.

    so. just to be sure, for us minorities. Be deported to el salvador or pay the same same exact money in taxes and prices as you would with your opposition?

    do you see how dumb this sounds? Do you see why this is so ridiculous?

    Hey! let me cut your balls off! the other guy will do it anyways (but also take the shaft and tip) does this make sense to you? GEE whiz I wonder which side I will choose they are both so similar

    i saw a party that wanted to ban half my family from the country, and people cheered. I know who to support and don’t need advice, sorry.

    there was no critical failures of democrats like that. “oh no they take corpo money” on the other hand my my family could be kidnapped to el salvador was not a choice it was a necessity. white people do not need to worry about that though apparently. /s




  • the very fact that we can talk about this issue with religion AND with hollywood or whatever is the exact reason i was trying to raise as a progress, its funny, because ive actually worked in ‘hollywood’ literally. I know they are abusers there too. but they aren’t going on ‘missions’ like mormons or ‘crusades’ like the christians in the past. they arent putting up religious ethno-states like israel. Theres literally no comparison between religion and hollywood, im sorry. its just ridiculous. and for someone who seems so intelligent its weird you would make this comparison.

    my parents were very religious when I was growing up, and certainly that left a bad taste growing up but I acknowledge that there are wonderful people I know of faith. thats all. but ultimately this world would be better off without it. Look at global warming deniers? (god knows best) look at the priesthood who abuse children and get off scott free? the literal state of Israel who is conducting a genocide? I dont hate religion, it hates us, is my point.


  • i think religion has a very large part with racism.

    well I don’t think you are a piece of shit and im sorry if I offended you in anyway. I don’t want to turn this into a shit throwing show. you have some good points, and I don’t think religion is all bad . I just dont think its criticized as badly as people think. I know very spiritual people who are great. I also know bad. But if we don’t talk about the bad with the good progress doesn’t happen


  • holy crap take it easy.

    “all men were created equally–oh except black people we are enslaving them” didnt thomas jefferson fuck his slaves and keep his own children as slaves or some shit?

    the never ending hypocrisy from religion is why you get what you get. No longer getting graded on a curve is not persecution. you are just fragile. Also please, take it easy. im not against you. I think religion has many good things in them, but when christian schools have mass graves in them from the aboriginals they kidnapped they deserve a bit if scrutiny, right? when muslim schools destroy gays, when ethno-religious states conduct genocide? it deserves some scrutiny and shouldn’t be surprised when people talk about it.


  • no ones shouting against religion, theres too much risk being assaulted by some zealot. people are just talking about it on the internet. and for the record. religious people literally go door to door to influence us, they are the reason why we have anti-abortion laws, they are the reason why trans people have to fucking hide their identity for fear of being murdered, they are the reason we have wars.

    people talk a lot about 9.11 and how islam is to blame. people talk about how ww2 was about targeting Jewish people. religions literally cause wars. its not real. and people who defend it are silly stupid heads with poopy on their heads (kidding here, I know plenty of spiritual people who are kind and great) but the evil out weights the good.

    you have some good points and i respect that. but i–grown under a strict religious parental figure do not understand how people cant wrap their head around your concept of disrespect of religious things. if god brings you peace of mind, thats awesome. just don’t force it on anyone else
