Easy solution: flood the market with complimentary coupons or gift cards which ensures that although everyone is paying that rate, their not actually paying that rate.
This from the country that bans the burqa and takes issue with businesses offering halal (which is basically kosher).
I take issue with the word anti-Semitic, because it implies that racism of other sorts isn't problematic. Why does anti-Semitism get special treatment over and above other racism? Blacks were enslaved for centuries. First nations were all but wiped off of their respective continents.
You know what it is about Carreon? He is from an age when people properly feared crossing lawyers, and there was really no meaningful recourse to a lawyer bully picking on you.
Carreon can't comprehend that in the internet age, if he is a major jerk, everyone sees. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone...I've noticed people bringing this up in conversation who normally don't spend much time on the internet. He is creating a giant asterisk by his name, which will follow him the rest of his life.
I'm just going to say that I think it should be called, for example, the Carreon Maneuver. It's not really an "effect" per se, because were talking about something he's doing rather than the outcome of those actions.
Exactly. Copy in an arms race spurs more innovation. Those that don't, lose. Well arguably everybody loses in an arms race, but that's beside the point.
But if I notice that somebody else in my society has made a very good spear, I can simply copy him without having to understand why.
Right. Because if that were the case wouldn't we all be re-inventing the spear today, rather than, I don't know, reading an article on a computer, networked to all the other computers across the world?
That theory is so instantly defeated it's laughable. "GUYS I'VE MADE A BREAKTHROUGH: HUMANS STOPPED INNOVATING 200,000 YEARS AGO."
Yea I agree. I guess the thing that frustrates me is these individuals always present themselves as defenders of free speech, when really they are trying to do really horrible things. A lot of these neo-nazi people will literally track you down and hurt you if you actively oppose them in any meaningful sort of way.
I am happy for this particular ruling. I also support, to an extent, Canada's approach to limiting hate speech.
I'm not exactly crying over here, so I don't know if oversensitive is the word you're looking for, but okay. If anything it's amusing that it's so difficult for you to understand. It's kind of like people who don't understand why black face is racist. They either don't think it is racist, or they just know that it's a faux pas but don't understand why.
Conflating native people with cannibalism and savagery is a racist stereotype, perpetuated by white settlers who wanted to justify "civilizing" them (i.e. cramming them into small spaces and stealing their land).
Sort of like stereotyping black people as criminals.
Or Jewish people as penny-pinchers.
Or Asians as bad drivers.
But seen as, to my knowledge, a great number of people in the US still cling to the centuries old mistake of referring to its indigenous peoples as "Indians," perhaps this topic is too complex. But yea I'm the stupid one, we'll go with that.
