Park dedicated to Adam MCA Yauch vandalized with pro-Trump swastikas

You know Winston Churchill (who was Anglo-American) fairly famously remarked that the US could be relied on to do the right thing - after they had tried everything else.

Oh, I agree. Ideally to my mind he (it’s going to be a he, isn’t it?) should be found, convicted and given the option of doing the clean up and restoration himself in public, or paying to have it done and having to stand there all the time the work is going on. Criminal damage is criminal damage.

At one end of the scale Anders Breivik thought he would be a hero and a rallying point of the fascist movement. When it turned out he was a rather pathetic individual who complained that his Playstation was an old model, he didn’t exactly promote the image of the Ubermensch. At this end, if the criminal turns out to be a basement dwelling dork who obsesses over Breitbart, that’s going to reduce the cool factor of this kind of thing somewhat.

Huh I’d figure you’d be more chary of that kind of faux-revolutionary happytalk but hey if you’re feeling all fiery about it then good on you I guess? Dunno, the rhetoric is tiresome but have fun, you!

Funny. Someone thinks not agreeing to be a doormat is revolutionary in some
fashion.

Whatever makes you happy

And that is exactly how he got elected. By sounding and behaving the way the average person thought he would sound and behave if he were to suddenly become rich, unlike those superior people who went to Ivy League universities.
Demagoguery 101.

I’m stockpiling mine, along with canned food and bottled water.

"You’ve gone wet look crazy and messed with your head
You fucked around and wound up with the bald skin head
You’re all mixed up like pasta primavera
Yo why’d you throw that chair at Geraldo Rivera, man?"

THANK YOU!!!

While there are a lot of sects that pray to a Buddha (the “pure land” buddhists are the first group that comes to mind), “Buddha” is not god in the sense that western religions envision it.

Technically, you’re a buddha, you just don’t realize it :wink:

And weirdly, there does seem to be a particularly large number of Jewbu’s… (and a number of very prominent ones as well).

Took me a while to see it, which means in this case it’s more pareidolia than intentional (or even a Freudian slip).

Absolutely, but it was an embarrassing mistake considering the teams history.

That shirt often features on bad football shirt lists, which is a bit unfair as if it weren’t for the Nazis it would probably be fondly remembered.

Interesting in that the article is both revealing in how Breitbart and Bannon are overly sensitive and whiny little jerks, I find Jay Leno is reminding us that Trump, like the vandals, are often the bullies and not the bullied. The ones who were always able to hide behind privilege, who always had a powerful daddy to bail them out when they were kids.

Not that I like DJT in any way, but considering that the man’s daughter is now an Orthodox Jew and that DJT donned a kippah when visiting the grave of the Chabad Rebbe with his daughter, I’m really not clear on why DJT himself deserves that label.

Not to turn this into a theology debate and Heaven Forbid I contradict The Allmighty Wikipedia, but in fact most sects of Buddhism arent functionally non-theistic but are in fact polytheistic.

One can remain a Jew but still adhere to what Judaism considers heresy.

Oh, you mean Unitarians. :wink:

@Bobo My understanding is that Buddhism provides an accessible outlet for exploring ideas about the spiritual realm.

@Israel_B not trying to start a debate here - there’s plenty of other threads for this. I’m just making a whynotboth.gif point. Debate on these merits can happen elsewhere.

Antisemitism is usually bigotry against Judaism as racial and cultural identity, not theology. Nazis didn’t care about Jews not accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior; they’d still be considered Jews no matter what religion they might convert to.

Trump’s people paint the best and classiest swastikas. Everyone says so.
