‘Look how she was dancing, rubbing his crotch. As she slides her hands down his pants. How she flashes her chest dozens of times. The sexual actions she is making’
There’s a difference between blaming a victim and saying a victim is not without fault.
Are you saying it would be partially that woman's fault if she were raped?
Racial equality and education? A Given. Must Be Done. All Are Born Equal. Unless it means letting their kids learn about the inconvenient reality of slavery and the genocide of the native american tribes in which case toss those books right on that big bonfire and bring the happy bedtime story about the slave and the injun being happy about knowing their place.
After domestic hand gun violence, non-personal gun violence is the second largest cause of firearms death. The US has a plague of so-called drive-by shootings
Are you including suicide in domestic gun violence? Because there are more gun suicides than homicides. And I would be interested to see your sources.
I ask as a jury would be asked. Set aside all the surrounding material not directly related. Based on the surveillance footage he may not be quite so innocent.
That ship has sailed. He was already acquitted. The jury was asked, and they answered "not guilty." Now the question is whether the police violated his rights during the vicious beating.
To conclude that therefore it could not possibly get any worse in the future is beyond foolish.
The far right politicians who are now emboldened and saying the quiet parts out loud because they know they’ll face no consequences, are dead-set on finishing what he started.
Yes, so let's not make it any easier for them.
But sadly those are the only two prescriptions that you seem to think will magically solve everything.
I would love for you to point out where I said that.
A flat tax, on the other side, is a very socialist idea.
Has there ever been a flat tax implemented in a socialist country?
So would the corresponding flat tax with the increased flat corporate rates.
A low personal tax rate and a high tax rate on corporate profit incentivizes getting that money into the hands of investors and executives pre-tax by some means (and big companies are extremely good at finding/writing such means), where it will be taxed very little, and can be used instead to buy jets and yachts and swimming pools full of gold. What we should have instead is a low corporate tax rate, and an extremely high top personal income tax rate, so the incentive is to plow money back into the business where it can do some good, rather than take it as income where it will basically all go to the government anyway. You know, like in the 50s. But that approach went by the wayside, because millionaires can't become billionaires that way.
I've heard that if you say "God spoke to me, and told me to spend all my money on ammunition" then the customer service rep will cancel immediately to get off the call as quickly as possible.
Do other people pay attention to first/last word? I just scroll past because I'm planning to read the comment in context anyway and I don't care to read it twice.
Why disable the account at all? Maybe the next of kin has access to it, and wants to post something. If the account holder took the password to the grave, then nobody will be able to log in anyway so why bother disabling the account?
Idunno, can you be completely sure that keeping on with this status-quo where we play by the rules while the other team just lies, cheats, and steals will leave us in a better situation?
I am not. And never said I was. This is a terrible attempt at an argument though. Your implication is that since doing nothing may not work, we must instead do what you want, even though nobody knows if that will work either. Badly flawed argument.
Like a broken record, round and round, y’all keep using this as if it’s some brilliant gotcha when it’s not.
It has yet to be refuted. Would you care to do so?
I’m sorry if that upsets you that I’m not adhering to standards that you hold so dear that were put in place by the long-dead white slave-owners and slave-rapists that founded this country.
Well if that's where you're going with this conversation, I'm not interested in continuing.
