"Hypocracy now has a face" Please spread this short film!

[duchieman]

Bravo Doobie. I think the lyrics for that very fitting song is in order.

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance

Cities full of hatred
Fear and lies
Withered hearts
And cruel tormented eyes
Scheming demons
Dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude
And scoffing at the wise
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rush/a+farewell+to+kings_20119972.html ]
The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred halls of Truth
Ancient nobles showering
Their bitterness on youth
Can't we find
The minds that made us stong
Can't we learn
To feel what's right and wrong

Cities full of hatred
Fear and lies
Withered hearts
And cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons
Dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude
And scoffing at the wise
Can't we raise our eyes
And make a start
Can't we find the minds
To lead us closer to the Heart

If you ask me, this is, in a nutshell, is why things are so f'd up in this world.

WTF was THAT?

 

[DoobieBrother]

That's from Rush's NEXT album
NOT!!!

 

[duchieman]

That. Well that is the true definition of "waste of time". That stupid video is a "trend" with millions of views yet none of the #occupy hashmarks are trending on twitter yet. Not because they don't have the numbers to trend but because some bank just lent Twitter a few hundred million dollars recently. Media/Corporate censorship I'm sure.

 

[DoobieBrother]

The strongest weapon of the United States Of Corporations is ignorance.
An informed populace is very dangerous...

 

[sen.c]

It wasnt a chich that got clocked by the cop, that is what happens when you take a swing a police. Watch the video real close and notice the dudes right hand and the cops hat. The right to assembly and freedom of speech is one thing but if you think it's o.k. to take a swing at a cop then you deserve to get your ass kicked.

 

[duchieman]

That was a lady he clocked there. Either way, he's a cop, he's supposed to be trained to compose himself and I'm sorry but, guy, girl or lowlife scum pedophile, that was completely uncalled for. That whole video was calm and peaceful right up to that point. If anybody is inciting anything there, it was that cop

Your like a guy who keeps getting knocked down and doesn't know to stay down. If you read carefully I clarified the importance of the "female" issue.

 

[sen.c]

Bullshit it was a dude and when you decide to take a swing at a cop that is what happens. I tell you what why don't you go out and try it for yourself, and let us know how it works out for you.

People can protest and assemble all they want, hell I think it is a good thing to still practice those right's but those right's don't make it o.k. to disregard, or break the law. If you are protesting and an officer asks you to back up then back up and give the man his space don't stand there in defiance and provoke an unwanted action and then cry about it when you are arrested or get your ass kicked.

Your like a guy who keeps getting knocked down and doesn't know to stay down.

That is what you liberals want don't you someone to lay down and eat your bullshit.

 

[Heads Up]

This thread once again makes the point, ignorance is bliss. If it weren't for 'liberals' the robber barons would still be running the country..oh wait, they are running the country...again. If it weren't for liberals protesting the antics of the status quo, the KKK might be running the country. Sharia law, who needs it with the KKK around? We liberals don't want anyone to eat our bullshit, we're just tired of eating the bullshit from corporate america and their watchdogs, the american congress. Our government, who by the way are just a collection of people, and corporate america have us bound and gagged and their law is the law which has allowed the rape, pillage and plunder of the ninety nine percent by the one percent. I just want to know one thing about republicans, the every day kind of republican who goes out and works for a living. How do your leaders convince you to vote against you own best interests election after election? No jobs with the lowest tax rate in seventy five years. No manufaturing, the thing that made america great. They're all now overseas, it seems americans are too expensive to employ. I guess some people just won't be happy until they are working for a dollar and a quarter an hour too.

 

[duchieman]

I don't know where you saw anyone swinging at a cop. I watched it over and all I see is the cop coming at the protester.

 

[Heads Up]

Keep this little fact in mind. The one percent own half of all the stocks, bonds and mutual funds in america along with forty percent of the money. Now I'm no math whiz but by my thinking that leaves half the stocks, bonds and mutual funds and sixty percent of the money for the other ninety nine percent. Now let's throw the top five percent of the wealthy into the mix and the ninety five percent might own one third of the rest of the american wealth. Now let's say the top ten percent in america own eighty percent of the wealth of the country. That leaves very little for the other ninety percent. Still think there is no class warfare going on?

And what if a cop unjustly hits you,, dont they deserve to be beaten?... He was out of line hitting a female like that. You and I know damn well they could have subdued her with no problem, but they didn't, he clocked her in the jaw as if she were a large man.

 

[duchieman]

It's definitely class warfare. The right wing media is pushing it as such and the left are shying away from spilling it out but hey, if that's what you want to call it, I have no problems going with that.

 

[DoobieBrother]

Adding labels and arguing semantics is one of the many divisive things that they want to have happen.
Divide your enemy into opposing factions, and then conquer each faction with increasing ease.

It was a dude bro, pay attention. Ignorance of the law does not make you exempt from it. People get clocked everyday by law enforcement due to bad decisions, what makes this any different. Everyone knows that officials of law enforcement have the right to use force if need be and if you make the concious decision to do something stupid then that use of force will be used on you.

If I were to take a swing at a cop regardless of the situation or the size of him or me and I got jacked up then I deserved it plain and simple, I made the decision to do what I did and recieved just recourse allowed by law. Then I would not only have to deal with the ass whipping I just got for being a dumbass but then I still have the legal issue of assaulting a police officer.

 

[whodatnation]

Pay attention, you didnt answer my question.

And what makes a cop exempt from making a conscious decision to do the right thing?



It was a chick.

 

[sen.c]

No it wasn't a chick, it was a dude and if you watch the couple other videos out there that are from different perspectives (angles) you would see that. Guy or girl you don't have the right to take a swing on a cop period, that was just plain stupidity to begin with. I love how all you liberals like to run from accountability.

Sometimes you have the duty imo. Think about it.

 

[duchieman]

Here Sen C. I found a place where you can fit in on this argument. They all seem to feel the same as you do. Looks like your kind of place.

[whodatnation]

You still didn't answer my question.

So why dont you post these vids from other angles (perspectives). Do you know what the means?

Show us the "guy" "swinging on" the cop.
