I did not expect this to take it this badly. My intention was not glorify or making an statement of why European were superior. I was just trying to make some perspective. I never said that portugal were better, smarter or better men in any other. Due to historical circumstances, including the fall of Constantinople by the Ottomans, they had better technology. Their armor was better, their pikes slightly longer and their cannons had more range.
Since this was taken so badly, I'm retracting my post.

ReasonUser Banned (permanent): troll account
At this point the allegations were debunked so many times by several sources, I can not willingly believe his accusators. Safechuck for example destroys his own narrative by describing in detail the abuse in a building that didn't exist. How can you take them seriously?

ReasonUser Banned (1 Month): Downplaying allegations of sexual abuse
I don't believe MJ sexually abused children. I believe he had a non-existent childhood and wanted to relive it in adulthood and was enabled to do it for whatever reason. But certain lines were not crossed.
As to whether I'd listen to his music if I thought he was doing those things...yeah, probably. I don't really think of the person when I hear a song, honestly. Different story for actors who I when consuming their work. It's weird.

I think we all need to look at home and look at stuff happening now and perhaps understand nothing much has changed.
I see the furry community showing face on era often and on the surface yeah there’s just people who enjoy dressing up as favourite characters etc. Then you see the likes of that All Gas No Brakes video where clearly some members of this community are extremely vulnerable suffering huge mental health crises and putting themselves in danger.
You dare say the kink is a bit extreme and you get defenders blasting you for criticising their kink. I remember back in the 2000’s and the puritanical lot would call MM a Satan worshipper or whatever. They were crazy but ultimately not far off either. Back then people defended these kinks too. So I’m not gonna sit here and allow others to tel me their kink is acceptable when I know for a fact in ten years time there will be all sorts of “Me Too” stories around the furry community.
Ban me if you must.

The woke mob on this site are toxic as fuuuuck. Can’t even be bothered to watch a clip in context.
Bill Burr is a human piece of shit because he has a questionable take once in awhile? He’s a racist because he thinks Gina comparing the Jewish struggle to the “Republican struggle” is merely a stupid and terrible comparison? Is this really what we are doing now?
I assure you Bill has done more charity work than any miserable hyper woke fuck on this site.

EtcetEraThreadBill Gates gives opinion on sharing vaccine production with other countries in interview with Sky News
ReasonUser Banned (1 Week): Spreading Vaccine Misinformation During a Pandemic
So instead we have a bunch of vaccines being sent to places the usa told to "wait their turn" which the usa also have said are questionable if they actually work and warn against using. Seems that trying to stop everyone having easy access to the data and methods to make the vaccines hasn't fixed the issue of random vaccines being made but instead meant the usa could use their money to prioritize the kids who want to party it up at spring break while other nations have to decide between using a questionable vaccine from elsewhere or letting their vulnerable population be left at insane risk for who knows how long. I'm glad the mega rich in the usa decided for the world to have these vaccines patented without other nations getting to have their say.
Oh and as for halfassing it, the usa literally fucked up production on vaccines by having a factory they started up mix ingredients, cancelled one of the vaccines being made at that factory going forward and also shipped a bunch of doses of the AZ vaccine to Canada and Mexico before figuring out they may have shipped over some fucked up ones. So I'm sorry that I don't believe it should be up to the usa and their pharmaceutical companies to created these things as they're the only people on earth with skills in technology and science. This was always about one thing, profit for those companies going forward and preventing the free use for the whole world.

You can be sure that if the genders were reversed not half of you would have said anything! You can't fathom to understand or respect where Karen is coming from?? Where the fuck were you during the whole show?? And what about that last scene with her and Danny? Fuck you!! This is such a classroom example of misogynistic bias.
You're all making me mad as hell. I must admit I didn't personally see this relationship being a thing, but it does make a lot of sense (or at least Karen having a relationship outside of Edward). You're all reacting with such a misogynistic bias! Fuck!

Everyone needs to remember that ResetERA isn't a monolith and that there's a contingent of people on ERA who have a lot of praise for DS1/BB who need public perception to stay up to validate their opinion, so it's in their best interest to say this thread never existed even though it clearly does.

The fuck is wrong with people saying this is a good thing.
I get that people want to defend themselves with all those right wing idiots running around like military while cops shoot blacks on sight.
But more guns is never ever a good thing cause it just increases the amounts of accidents and suicides.
And things like white idiots not wanting blacks in their gun club and now blacks forming their own "black only" clubs just leads to more tension and segregation.
Get your fucking gun laws straight and stop all that needless hate on any skin color. The color or your skin doesn't make you a good or bad person you are still a human being and should be treated as that, another fellow human being trying to live your life.
