As I recently lectured Warden, being a better person is a weighty responsibility to which I consistently abide. In the matter of Britney Griner I concur with 51 since Britney IMO has been something of an ingrate in her opinion of America. Her sojourn in a Moscow jail is teaching her a valuable lesson about freedom in respective countries. I do however think the sentence was harsh, but Putin is put in tricky place where he might lose face releasing her. Her release should be orchestrated by a skilled negotiator, one I specifically have in mind. A year out of circulation will teach Britney a vital lesson. Any more time in jail would be too harsh and politically punitive.
Show me where I said your rights should be restricted. I’m begging you.
What I did say - from one Catholic to another - is that you should be praying for her release. Not celebrating her detention because you don’t like what she says.
Yes. As a man and an American you do. I wouldn’t criticize that.
As a Catholic and a basic human….yeah. It’s common sense.
Stop being Catholic. You aren’t. You’ve just proven it.
I didn’t read much of this thread, but I’m kind of with GSC on this one. I don’t really care a whole lot about Griner. Granted, what’s happening to her is a travesty, and she’s totally a political prisoner, but there are better things to worry about than people who flaunt drug laws in foreign countries. i certainly wouldn’t trade a notorious arms dealer for her.
Personally I’m surprised bikki bothered to post about her, but then I couldn’t get through his entire post, which is why I haven’t bothered responding till now.
Nor would I trade her for an arms dealer. But you’re assuming she flaunted a drug law. How do we know these charges weren’t made up? She’s a “high-value” American in the eyes of Putin and it wouldn’t shock me at all if he planned this ahead of time to use her as a bargaining chip.
Strange bedfellows…I agree with the premise.
I’m not sure what she’s said about the country, but for sure, it’s less than you have. No doubt about that. I am not sure there is really anything about this country you actually like.
Come to think of it, why don’t you put up a few of her comments and we’ll compare to Trump’s take on the country
BUT, she was entitled enough to think she could bring weed pens through Russian airports. That’s Kardashian level entitlement. Fuck her
