    they're being influenced by progs (aka socialists) because it helps the socialist agenda...

    all these divisions created over the last coupla decades, are at the hands of the socialists... worldwide... they are coming through the backdoor, un-beknownst by the majority... they are being duped by socialists, the dnc dont mind because they relish the empowerment of totalitarianism, so they in turn dupe the dem constituency ..

    blind faith following always leads to dismay...

    O dear ... you have to be so really deeply threatened in the US of all the evil socialists running around there. As often as I've solo this week alone in this forum, where these evil socialists do mischief, you have to be close to a new civil war!

    The funny ... for me foreigner ... on the thing is, however, that many of you Americans have mostly no idea what socialism is! As soon as some of you already read the word "social", you already get stress pimples on your face because it could be socialistic.

    Can't help but laugh at your "blind faith" words - you have just "liked" a post from "Let Freedom Ring" who did not post a comment!

    Yea the war which resulted in the deaths of millions, demolished the infrastructure of Europe, and saw the greatest loss of cultural artifacts of European heritage HAD JUST ENDED..... I am pretty sure what was running in the minds of the greatest generation to ever exist in America was not what is running in the minds of America's worst generation. Its rather sickening to see those that have sacrificed/contributed the least throwing shade at those who sacrificed/contributed the most.

    At the time when this kiss happened, it was legal to rape your wife in the vast majority of America. These days it'd be sexual assault and a huge scandal.

    Yeah for women's rights improvement since the 40's!

    Not sexually assaulting women is "PC"?

    America was the greatest when marital rape was legal in most states in the country? It was greatest when non-whites lived under oppressive conditions?

    Threads like this and especially posters like Apacherat show that when Conservatives talk about America being great or making America great again they really mean "white males should once again be at the top and be able to do anything they want".

    Because only the man matters. The woman is just an object, right?

    Except in later interviews she confirmed she did not consent. She was not kissing him. He was kissing her.

    She was not a war nurse, she didn't even know what was going on. And "they" did not kiss. He kissed her against her will.

    I am all for substantive improvements in laws against assault, rape, etc - what I am not "all for" is the intersectional victim culture plaguing the modern age.

    When we kill the barbarians at the gate will the soldiers go find other work or manufacture new barbarians out of ordinary citizens? History shows its usually the latter, and this has been the trajectory social justice has taken.

    Take a snapshot of America during the 1950's.

    Just the demographics in America were completely different back when America was great.

    It was all about the majority not the minority.
    Today it's about the minority not the majority.

    In California the majority hasn't had any representation in the state legislature in Sacramento for decades.

    During the 50's and 60's the majority of America were the middle class.

    There were more whites living in poverty during the 50's than blacks.

    During the 50's every major city with a black a neighborhood had a very prosperous black business district $$$ with low crime (Lennox Ave in Harlem, Central Ave in L.A.)

    Today Central Ave in L.A. is the barrio.

    How is it "intersectional victim culture" to want society to respect the self-ownership of other people's bodies? How is the movement towards positive consent wrong?

    As a percentage of the population? I call bullshit.

    Thank you for admitting that white male dominance is indeed what Conservatives mean when they say they want to "make America great again".

    Not getting an affirmative yes at every escalation =/= misconduct. Every consentual sexual experience I've ever had has been without either of us filling out a Form E-6 and having it notorized by a Justice of the Peace prior to initiating sexual conduct.

    I am not a sexual predator. Yet I would be put in a perilous legal position if positive consent was law and any of my past sexual partners changed their mind weeks later.

    Sexual crimes are difficult to prosecute because nobody has sex with witnesses around. I get that. This doesnt mean we lower the standards of evidence against the accused and punish more innocents (inadvertently or not) to catch a few more legitimate predators.

    Aziz Ansari found this out the hard way.

    Interesting, you think out of context pictures are proof that your bullshit claim is correct. By the way, are taco trucks somehow bad? If it was a picture of a 1940's hotdog cart would that somehow be better?

    I was being facetious. Affirmative consent is unjust to both male and female. Excessive restrictions on consent are puritanical and take away a couples right to choose for themselves.
