I'm starting to question why I even have an account on this forum. That's what I'm thinking.

"Why can't be people see that all race lives matters to some degree."

Ok, so let's say your house is on fire, the cause of the fire is highly unimportant.  Your whole house is on fire, the firefighters roll up.

"Help!  My house is on fire, can you help?!"

"Sorry, all houses matter."

They start spraying other people's houses even though the fire hasn't spread to anyone's house.  Your house burns down as the firefighters are spraying all your neighbour's houses.  Does that make sense to you?  While yes, your house may not be on fire right now, someone else's is and we need to help, as a community, to putting that fire out first.  To a lot of people, saying "all lives matter" is like saying, "Shut up, your life or opinion doesn't matter!" especially when those who yell "all lives matter" aren't making a fuss about, let's say, ICE throwing people in cramped cages or over-filling jail cells to the point where people can barely move or refusing to provide health services to the people they're holding prisoner in these "Immigration centers".  Or supporting abortion because a person's right over their own body is more important than your comfort with the subject of abortion.  Or trying to ensure people aren't starving because as they have stated "all lives matter".  Where were the "All Lives Matter" crowd when a little white girl was maced by a smug police officer when all she and her parents were doing were walking home?  Does that make sense?

Also, the way you said that is a bit confusing, if all lives matter, than why do they only matter "to some degree"?  Are you saying that all lives do not matter equally?  There's really not much, if any, difference between the races, just skin colour and various other shallow things.  We're all still human with something to contribute towards our respective societies.

Saying, "Black Lives Matter" isn't as if people are saying "Black Lives are substantially better than other races' lives".  It's saying, "Black lives need to be at the same table with everyone else and we need to change the systemic oppression inflicted on our, and many other's, people for much too long."  Saying "Black Lives Matter" is not, nor has ever been intended, to be a way of black people trying to get special rights, they want EQUAL rights and they want people to stop killing them, whether it be police brutality or just hunting down a black man for doing nothing beyond jogging in his neighbourhood.

Some thoughts.

I wonder if it is possible to create a stable political system whose sole responsibility is the protection of property rights and nothing else. Unfortunately, democracy does not seem to work as it allows special interests to exist such as the likes of politicians, bureaucrats, unions, and various lobbyists who are parasites among the productive population; none of them create wealth but rather extract. I would consider a free market dictatorship more (a system in which taxes are levied on the masses solely for the personal enjoyment of the dictator) to be more ideal than the welfare state; but it would be foolish to trust such a dictator to be benevolent like that. As of now, Democracy seems to be the least worst system. What would be ideal would be setting an eternal law in which the sole role of government is the protection of property rights; that is it.

But not matter how minimal government can be, there seems to be a tendency for its power to maximize over time. For instance, nearly every American today, including those who consider themselves Conservatives, would be considered Socialist by Americans from a hundred years ago. And would those considered strongly Socialist today be considered extremely Capitalistic by people who will live in the year 2120?

Wondering why Western men turned into pussies. Probably because they have it too good. Good times breed weak men~

I can't believe there's an entire political philosophy that seems to define itself by being fascistic authoritarian hypocrites, but that's the world we live in.

I'm thinking about that package that supposedly is going to show up today.  I wish Walmart had the courtesy of sending a tracking number instead of packages just randomly showing up.  I don't think I'm going to order from them again, guess that's what I get for shopping with them in the first place.

In that community that there some people that do it for free or a small fee if you send them yours. Requires some trust, though.

yeah, I couldnt do that personally, especially for my thin one, because my thin one is VERY sentimental to me (as a close family friend gave it to me before he passed away)
