re: Facebook Co-Founder Says Social Networks to Face More Regulation

We have this system called the free market. Whenever a customer is unsatisfied with a product, he has an absolute freedom to conduct his business elsewhere, or even start a new business if its really egregious.

So if you contract with a company for a specific performance and they not only fail to perform what was contracted but also keep all your money, your remedy is to just forfeit all your money lost and hope the next company does better?

I am sorry but I do not subscribe to that. Civil courts perform an important role. They need to be reformed but not disbanded.

I didn't think you could.

You pretty much just crumble when someone calls you on your bullshite.

I found your goal post, it's in bold and underlined:

No, but for women who are discriminated against, they often see it as their best legal option for increasing their revenue stream.

You do realize I didn't even imply that all women on welfare are discriminated against, don't you?

Lets' see, what kind of discrimination could black women possibly face...

---

So you clearly implied that black women face discrimination (you can’t deny that), and when asked to elaborate you bitched out and basically said “gotta go, I hear my mother calling!” and then continued to post anyway.

I didn’t get involved yesterday but after I saw all the attempts to get you to respond and you continuously making lame excuses I became enthralled in watching you squirm some more.

This was sad....

Sorry, Cubbies told me to shut it down.

Better luck next time.

I would hate to ask you to read through it again, I know I won't, but the guy is simply dishonest. I was simply saying you can't blame poor people for laws they didn't pass. The vast majority of laws passed in this country have been largely by white men. Look at women's suffrage, white men were the ones who gave the vote to women. Similarly with aid to mothers with dependent children, a welfare program passed in a SS act in the 30's, largely by white men, an attempt to give aid basically to widows and orphans. Unfortunately there have been unintended economic consequences of the program. It incentivizes increasing revenue streams by having children out of wedlock. Are some of these women disadvantaged by discrimination? Yes, I believe black women are discriminated against in this country. Do I believe it's institutional? Yes. Do I believe it's legal? No.

The evidence of this are all the vain attempts at trying to provide some sort of equal opportunity. Obviously, their opportunities have been and are still relatively limited.

I believe the welfare system is deeply flawed, but I don't blame the people who take advantage of it, I blame the people responsible for making it and fixing it - and that's not going to be poor people.

I also believe so called equal opportunity programs don't actually provide much opportunity, statistically speaking.

And I'm at a loss to have to explain why I think black women are discriminated against in this country. I've spent over 50 years in the South, it's self-evident, it's not some big secret.

So you wanted to call me out, and there it is, my position ITT. peej was just dishonestly trying to bait me into ridiculous statements, while making several himself, IMO.

No, but you can blame them for abusing it and making shite arse decisions like having children they can’t afford.

Please, for the love of god, give us examples mon frere. I can name you LEGAL ways that white men are discriminated against ON TOP of the illegal ways

By their own doing. You have a child young and out of wedlock, chances are you’re going to be poor.

The blame should absolutely be on those who abuse it. ITS THEIR FAULT. THEY MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO ABUSE IT.

Because it puts people who aren’t qualified in places they don’t belong.

To summarize:

You blame the people who created it and it’s somehow important that their skin color happened to be white. Other skin colors that abuse the system aren’t important and can’t be blamed, they’ve been ‘institutionally’ discriminated against in other facets. White men are the problem for creating a system to aid these individuals that are taking advantage of it.

You see the issue here?

quote:

But you can't blame rich white businessmen for taking advantage of unintended economic incentives in the tax code, for example? When the government offers economic incentives, people will take advantage - that's econ 101.

I said that? Link?

And I'm telling you, if they are, it's their own fault as they've pretty much been passing all the laws.

---

Ahhhh blaming the victim. I guess it’s that chicks fault for getting raped bc she was dressed provactively eh?

I notice you still haven’t given a single example on how black women are discriminated against. Still floundering about eh?

quote:

---

Oh no, EVERYONE?

---

In truth, we’re mostly disappointed in your mother for not swallowing you when she had the chance. It’s too bad.

So. About black women being discriminated against.

Figure out any examples yet?


Poooooof. Like a fart in the wind again.

If you remain an open platform then you get a pass from regulations.

If you promote political content from one party while suppressing the other you get classified as a content distributor and media outlet and you get all the regulation that comes with that.

If you use a social media platform like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram daily; you get your news from those sites; and you participate in identity politics and nonsensical Multilevel marketing scams then you are an idiot and you deserve all of the violations of privacy and speech to which you subject yourself.

The answer here is not regulate social media via government intervention and growth of power. It is to use the free market. Stop going on those worthless websites and apps. Nothing good comes from them. And they are not in any way shape or form important enough to endow the federal government with extra powers and bureaucracy.

the answer here is to maintain a neutral net if you catch my drift
