Quote:By your reasoning - if one of your co-workers molests a sheep - you're a beastly sort of guy yourself -- because YOU DIDN'T TURN HIM IN!!!No, but you are complacent in the act of knowing that.
Quote:Where do you get the idea that crooked cops tell all the other cops about what they're up to?Because they know they won't rat them out because police culture is highly conformist and tribal.
Quote:Do you think that maybe - JUST MAYBE - cops are like any other group of people -- and keep their illegal shit tucked away where nobody else gets a look at it????Accept they are not like any other group. They are agents of state violence and the answer to your question is above.
Quote:Or is it now cool to stereotype every group based on the actions of a few from that group???It's not a stereotype of a group it's a criticism of an institution and its culture of silence and corruption.
Quote:Cuz I got some hellacious stories about those goofy Irish guys.......Are the Irish an organization or an institution run by the state. I don't think so
Quote:And you know they're ALL like that....Invalid comparison. Criticizing an arm of the state and the enforcers it employs is not the same as stereotyping the Irish .That's just stupid

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
