[QUOTE="JD8, post: 3319806, member: 24"] Please stop with your drama and twisting my words. I really don't care what the public does, media does, etc. I'm talking about OSA and what is posted here. My point was, an inconsistency in remarks on this forum. A man dies and people are shouting that he's a rapist as if they know the facts and were there. Whereas, if we were talking bout an accused GOP member, I know damn well what' y'all would be saying. Again, he's dead, and according to many, answering to anything he needs to. Now to the virtue signaling, whataboutism, and comparison of grief. People have some sort of chip on their shoulder if someone is successful around here. I see a guy that worked his arse off to get what he wanted and the tragic loss of some young people and their parents. Full stop. I don't see where anyone here was idolizing him. He made the most of it and made a ton of money doing it. People gladly volunteer their money to see him and others, and since they are adults and this is America, you're just going to have to accept that. Sorry but that's how some people like to be entertained. My comments hint at the fact that I didn't see a post about the 30 marines that died and I don't understand the "whataboutism" in these situations. Namely, to consider someone's death tragic or upsetting is a personal issue, trying to shame someone into considering another's has no merit. How do you know how they perceive that one too? You see these types of comments from both sides of the political spectrum. You can spin this into some sort of deranged argument that I don't respect the loss of anyone else, including and especially, those who have served. That's complete BS and I'm not sure where you got it. I think it's horrible that we lost 31 Service members. Where's the post? Where are the comments? Well....nobody did any checking it seems. That story is 15 years old. We in fact did not lose 30+ service members a few days ago, it was in 2005. [/QUOTE]
