Yes, being a cop is like being black, you got it exactly right. You should write a book, or something, so the whole world can hear how unbelievably fucking stupid you sound. Im not going to even try to argue further once we've reached the "I don't see color" part of the argument. I don't think there's anything I, or anyone, could say to you to make you believe that willing participants in corrupt systems might be accountable. But, I leave you with a thought exercise: why are these statements different? - all mobsters are bastards - all gangsters are bastards - all Nazis are bastards - all cops are bastards Surely you must agree with 1, or all three, of the preceding statements? Or, do you think that calling all skinheads bastards is prejudice akin to racism?

Maybe you shouldn't be an arbitrator and act like the judge, jury, and executioner, for things you do not understand.) > willing participants in corrupt systems might be accountable. You're choosing to take part in Ycombinator's platform. Ycombinator that has funded corrupt businesses. By your reasoning, you are admitting that you are a bastard. > the whole world can hear how unbelievably fucking stupid you sound. I think your world view is skewed. I'm pretty sure the majority of the world sees that it is your arguments that are stupid. Maybe try and step outside of your echo chamber. It's pretty clear at this point, that a discussion here is not going to change either of our minds, and it doesn't help when you wait several days to try and post a "gotcha", I'm not going to waste either of our times by continuing this.
