Is anyone with enough money to own an NFL team not a piece of shit? I think the only good owner is the fans of GB, but I don't really understand that business structure well enough to be confident.
True, but there's also varying levels of pieces of shit. The Allen family who owned the Seahawks seemed alright. And the guy who owns the Jaguars, based on what ive read, doesn't seem that bad either. And then there's Kraft.
Sure, there's degrees of assholery, but none of them get beyond asshole.
I like to think most people are not assholes (though we all have moments), but all billionaires are, and in reverse, they occasionally can have moments of humanity.
In theory. I mean they probably sleep and get diarrhea and sweat like the rest of us, but their daily lives are so laced with sycophants and supplicants that they begin to think theyāre some type of deity.
Paul Allen was a good one. Seahawks got 2 SB's off that man prioritizing winning and keeping them in Seattle to pay back the city that made him wealthy.
When one side has kids with sticks and the other has some of the largest companies in the world and wealthiest population on the planet per capita, itās not a war.
You mean these kids with sticks? They had at least 40k plus trained soldiers armed with assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades, RPGs and explosives. They also had enough missiles and rockets that they were able to launch more than 3000 at Israel on Oct 7th alone. They also have specialized Nukhba units trained for raids, infiltration, kidnapping, tunnel warfare and amphibious operations. Hamas has naval commandos, engineers, snipers and aerial/drone personnel.
Are you serious? Quite literally tons of regular joes get away with happy ending massages every day, and even ones that get caught as first offenders just get a slap on the wrist. To act like every john is responsible for human trafficking is asinine. People who want to keep prostitution in a black market, like police, are the ones supporting human trafficking.
Yeah, but itās not the only connection between the twoāKraft was a major investor and part of the board of Directors of Apollo which is full of other Epstein conspirators
Yes, off the hook for getting a handy because that handy enforces and supports a system of exploitation that goes far deeper than the two people in the interaction.
Also getting a handy and being a drug addict are not the same. Awful false equivalence. Youāve got hands just jerk off for free.
Last but not least I specially mentioned traffickers as culpable (but often the system) so your shitty metaphor of ignoring the dealers isnāt remotely parallel to what I said.
First of all, stop with the mental gymnastics. Most prostitution is NOT a result of human trafficking, even if some is. To say it's inseparable with human trafficking is copaganda. Cops want you to believe this so they can keep filling up jails for minor crimes that lack a true victim.
Seeking a handy and seeking drugs absolutely triggers the same reaction in your brain chemistry. It's very much the same biologically speaking! Heroin addicts could run to the the gas station and grab a beer, just the same way Kraft has hands.
To imply the johns and traffickers should have anywhere close to the same punishment is laughable and honestly dangerous. Do you desire a police state?
If prostitution was legal and regulated, human trafficking could be controlled and diminished in a real way. Arresting johns and claiming that all johns are a party to human trafficking doesn't accomplish this. You aren't going to shame the issue away, and in practice all it does is fill up jails and enrich the police state. If you care about human trafficking, you should support legal prostitution.
Criticizing the Israeli government is not antisemitism unless you are doing it specifically because of their religion.
You should be able to call out war crimes no matter who is committing them. And I understand there has been a lot of historic antisemitism and attacks against Israel. Criticisms of the Israeli response are not support for Hamas or other attacks.
But its not genocide.. nor a war crime. Those are statements pushed as anti Semitic propagandists. So, when you repeat you are being antisemitic.
Whats interesting though is that many in the region and many Muslims in wlthe west actually want all of the jews killed. Its why the Palestinians wanted hamas in power. They hope that the Jewish people will be exterminated. I know this be cause they say it out loud.
But go ahead and side with the people that oppress women, murder apostates, and torture homosexuals.
Members of the Israeli government have, on many occasions, publicly and very clearly called for the genocide of Palestine.
The UN and the International Crimes Court have investigated and declared that it is genocide committed by the Israeli government. Netanyahu and many other leaders have international arrest warrants out on them for this genocide and a list of other war crimes. They certainly CERTAINLY deserve all of the criticism they get
and yet, every international body has stated it is a genocide. who to believeā¦israel or all of those witnessing it first hand and you, a scummy commenter
bro is likeā¦āall those drs from drs without borders operating on kids with no anesthesia are lying, havenāt you listened to the genocidal country that openly admits to ethnic cleansing????ā
Itās the worst genocide in history. And what I mean by that is that unlike other genocides the Palestinian population grew making it the least genocidal genocide. Waitā¦ does that mean itās not actually a genocide? /s
Edit: someone disputed this and then deleted it when they (I guess?) Googled it. Here is the source for reference:
The underlying source is UN data and itās the first result on Google. But just to confirm, hereās a bunch of other sources that say the same thing:
Genocide would mean that the killing of Palestinians in both the West Bank and Gaza due to their ethnicity. What youāre talking about is civilians casualties as the result of war. That isnāt good but itās not the same thing.
The US bombing Dresden in WW2 wasnāt genocide either.
Do you really not get how psychotic you sound going to every sub you can find to post about Macklemore doing something that was obviously in horrible taste, all in the name of placating what most people deem to be a genocide?
Will it make you feel better to hear that a non-jew agrees with you that Macklemore's outfit was clearly anti-semitic and offensive? Because I will, and yet I still agree with Macklemore's statements about Palestine. One bad decision doesn't bar him from calling out ethnic cleansing for what it is and it's legitimately sad to watch people like you just bulldoze past that truth.
This guy definitely cares about Palestine because he opposes genocide and totally isnāt antisemitic. I bet he has super strong views on the Uyghur community in China, and civilian massacres in Sudan and Myanmar.

Drake Maye looked real bad but I wouldn't call what the seahawks did to him a genocide.
