I'm thinking about changing my mind. I would like everyone to realize ALL lives matter. If you break the law and act like an uncontrollable "donkey" then you deserve to be arrested. If you flee and point weapons at the cop, you deserve to get shot! If I have offended anyone, think real hard about why. Then consider, EVERYONE ELSE BESIDES YOU!

ABSOLUTELY!!!
I just wish everyone would agree that life is precious and maybe do what the native Americans did, before killing a beast for your table apologize to it's spirit for taking one of them to feed yourself, we really could learn a lot from the ancients.5 people like this

That is so good to point out. Many of us need to show more respect not only to lives of other humans but all life, plant, animal and such. Think of all the animals taken just for sport and not for the purpose of filling one's belly with nourishment.

Exactly @lookatdesktop I think those who kill for sport or to cull a species other then ours should be euthanized. I just read an article about how the remaining Mexican Wolves only have limited DNA variations which means it will be very hard to replenish the wild thanks to the thoughtlessness of trophy hunters and other idiots who think they have the right to cull.

If there was an organization called "White Lives Matter" we'd dismiss it as "racist," but we (actually, the media) accepts a racist notion that only one skin color matters.
Life matters. If you think you need to put an adjective in front of that statement you're wrong.

That's my point. Lives matter regardless of race or religion. If people want to continue to act like there are no consequences they will continue to get hurt. They do nothing for "their cause". In fact, they make people less likely to support "their cause".

I agree. Hitler and the nazi's didn't invent racism either. Racism has been around a long time. They only expanded on it. Anyone can feed on it but the evil thing will only come back to bite them. If an organization is only about anger then it can not win anything but be very much against what others have dreamed about...

@Bluedoll Everything that man (may he rest in peace) did for the black population seems to unravel a little more every time black people riot. No one will take a cause serious when it is being symbolized by hatred and destruction and theft!

talking Milwaukee? I agree. you have every right to protest peacefully, the second you start looting, being an arsonist, pillaging, and destroying properties you become a criminal, and your life that matters so much, I really do hope, gets stuck in jail for a long long time.

Amen! I am getting so tired of the lawlessness. People seem to feel they can do whatever they want and not be held accountable. I don't get it. If your life matters, put it to good use. When you are a common criminal I am not going to have any respect for you and thus it really doesn't matter what you say, I'm not going to listen.

I agree 100%. All lives on the planet really do matter in the eyes of the Lord God Almighty and Jesus Christ and all the Saints and so realize this, those who are offended are either unholy or ignorant of the truth behind the words of Jesus and his Apostles.

The nonsense has been going on far too long and time for it to end. Break the law and suffer the consequences. Simple as that. No more catering because of race.

That is one of the biggest problems ever. Catering to races because it MIGHT look like prejudice. BS! It's prejudicial to NOT arrest someone doing something wrong just because they are black. If you are of color and are wondering why more whites aren't chased and shot by cops, maybe think! Most white people don't run from police and they don't pull weapons or they are shot! It's not about race it's about right and wrong and facing consequences.

@TiarasOceanView As long as you always have the sense of right and wrong and community good... Well, I guess those things are based on your own personal views. I will just go shake my head in disgust.

Oh, my! It offends me! But then, I have often been offended by people and/or situations discussed on myLot, mommaj!
When people get offended then the reason is that they are simply looking for something to be offended about, in my experience. (Of course, the ppl who are offended are normally the ones offending other people, but that is different. It is their opinion that is right and everyone else who states an opinion is definitely wrong and being very offensive in their actions and beliefs!)
You should be offended when entitled people believe they are better than anyone else around. Those type of people believe they are above the law everyone else must follow.1 person likes this
I knew if I tried hard enough I would eventually offend you. 
It never ceases to amaze me how much people get offended. I just shake my head.

Some people will never understand what exactly 'liberty ' means and what responsibilities that sweet seven-letter word entails. For them Liberty means only one thing: letting anarchy run loose on the roads (and of course, as you mentioned, without expecting any backlash).

@mommaj I know right. We've the same problem here in India. People, in the name of liberty and freedom of speech, do things that are never expected in a civil society and if somebody tries to point out their mistake, they start screaming about their rights and stuff!
