How does he know she doesn't read a book every two days or something. What a dickbag.
Let's also look at etiquette, which is something dickbags like this enjoy throwing at people as another avoid-the-question tactic if they find an angle.
This young woman formatted a proper letter. An honest snail-mail letter, by all appearances. Used a polite tone.
Governor Dickbag over here just scrawls some bullshit onto the bottom of the letter she sent and send it back? Seriously? Ex-fucking-scuse me?
I am sure this fuckit is one who complains about other internet activities of the young, bemoaning how the art of writing letters is dead. (As if he ever writes them, or reads books...)
I am puzzled as to why the national anthem is played at sporting events.
Oh wait, no i'm not. It's about jingoism from the start. We refused to bow to the Red Menace just like we refused to live in fear of terrorism. By acting like infants. National anthem at corporate sporting events? Check. Forced pledge of allegiance in schools? Check. Inserting references to god into our money and pledge of allegiance? Check. Repressing with renewed vigor all manners of groups and people who have nothing to do with despotic communism or terrorism (or most hated flavor of the time) because they would like to change the status quo. Yep that's always good.
That's why submissive authoritarians get so pissed off about this. They live for that sort of "patriotism". It's like the mechanical religion of the Romans.
Your theories on why Blacks are affected by some things are wholly incorrect. And the economic disadvantage has the same distant and proximate causes it always had, in addition to causes shared with other groups.
Why now? Someone thought of the particular mild form of protest recently. Why generally over the last few years? It might possibly be that things are in fact getting worse, and communication and organization are getting easier. Also, some people may have had some weird sense of hope, having a Black president for 8 years.
Makes me want to start a business offering economical transport and setup for vendors and artists between conventions and their usual operations. And I shall give unto it a name: ComiCon MovingHelp.

Actually, I have been in wonderment over the mere existence of U-Haul since the 70s. They are so slow and atrocious, I don't know how they continue to do business. I feel like it's a front for something else.
Re: If Facebook removes my account, what recourse do I have?
Nowhere near as huge or... as insidiously connected to everything as Facebook, but you can always find a Diaspora pod. Or host one. Some are big on the mass-interconnection with other services bit.
I don't know if you'd call it analogous to vimeo : youtube or not.
_More and more of our law enforcement clients have asked us to remove it from their training based on all the academic research showing other interrogation styles to be much less risky."_
This is one of the bits i found quite interesting.
Another point, i suppose, would have been for such client departments to refuse to pay for and attend such sessions. A whole other thing is, why the hell has so much been farmed out for so long anyway?
It's pretty much all the content, so no, not even close to all of it is incitement. They got super pissed off when a thirteen year old told them to get the fuck off her front lawn and the soldiers eventually did. I guess those few weren't ready to do more than rough up humans of any age for no particular reason.
If they want to stop incitement, they should look at their own "policies" first.
Not that terrorists among the Arab population are defensible whatsoever, but the entire Arab population is treated as terrorists. Huh, where else does that crop up?
I will tell you straight up I have an anti-Isreal bias. It's perfectly rational position. Like an anti-US bias, anti-NK bias, or an anti-Russia bias. They've all been rather consistently some of the biggest bastards on the planet. (Hardly a comprehensive list, that's a given.) Liars tell the truth sometimes, but you don't know when that is, so you look at them more skeptically than you look at someone with a pretty good record with the truth.
Facebook complies with demands to take down things that are not incitement of any kind, unless you want to count reporting on atrocities of the complaining party as "incitement". They also leave up blatantly harassing, inciting, and threatening things. I don't think any of them look good for any of it.
The "creator of the IP" is the government, or, if you like, what we have allowed government a corporations to do under our social contract. The IP is the copyright itself. (Or the patent, or trademark.)
But yes, it makes sense to allow the creator(s) a limited monopoly during their own lifetime, and the IP itself is non-transferrable, but licensable non-exclusively.
They also won't have any incentive to create when they are resurrected as heads in jars in a museum circa 3000. That's why the term keeps getting extended. Of course, the the whole meaning of life + gets shifted and mangled a bit more.
