Explain your belief that is a non sequitur, and let me think I'm the definition of living.

What Does "Due Process" Mean?
boyst replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Why tf are people this worked up about a piece of trash who didn't belong in the United States instead of actual US citizens being under represented? Liberals are stupid. Republicans are obsessed. -
Would you rather corporations/private entities ensure security of living for the society or would you rather the government ensures this level?

Unions hurt businesses. They also hurt the little man. I've been in unions, Ohio had them. They didn't do anything for the low members and only protected the lifers. Of course, that's in my experience and irrelevant to the overall experience. Union shops for places like Walmart, Amazon, UPS, and other service driven careers cause issues and create problems for the youth and unemployed looking to get into the job force. They are unskilled labor. Unskilled labor having any union is not something I support. Nor public sector unions; you should not be able to hold a government entity in jeopardy for your employment. The super shifts you're talking about are not generally Amazon that pile on the hours. They're Amazon contractors. There are websites you go and bit on the contract for delivery companies. It's pretty awesome if you need big cash quick. The Amazon services are the same - contract gigs not meant for full time employment. There is no skill required to read an address and drive a car; those doing it voluntarily take the position as anyone who has a job. No one is forced to work. No one should survive on $12/hr and those that do rely heavily on gov subsidies. If we gave those folks more in wages it will effect across the board prices and inflate the price of everything vs dole out welfare. Remember, the top 10% pay 98% of taxes (maybe I'm off on that, but it's damn near close) I know the top 2% pay something like 90% of the income taxes. Of course, this is my opinion so others may disagree. There are no golden companies. The closest I know is some chocolate company, Tony's chocolany. They are the only candy factory that ensures no slave, no exploitation, and fairly paid employees. Evidently sugar and chocolate trades involve a lot of slavery and bad things. Same with bananas btw. Monkeys are now being used a lot. 😝

I've cared about it for a while. You're right about the US history being pretty awful but in recent years we have been much, much better than China. Your concept of fairness of Unions is interesting and I will consider it. I am not against the concept of labor unions but I am against most American unions over the last 50 years. Anyone can see the issues there. Reply if you'd like to keep this on the radar. I'm going to the gym and can reply later.

Return of the Tre! (Tre White signs with the Bills)
boyst replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
He doesn't have the skill set for that, unfortunately. -
Oh my tummy feels all fuzzy and sad, Hearing words that make my heart feel bad. My little paws just wanted a hug so tight, Not to be told to take my feelings out of sight. My Care Bear stare is usually full of gleam, Not meant to cause a grumpy, frowning dream. Perhaps my wishes seemed a little loud, Lost in a fluffy, thunderous cloud. But telling me to wander far away, Makes my happy sunshine turn to gray. I only wanted to share what's in my soul, Not to lose all loving, gentle control. So though your words may sting a tiny bit, I'll try to find a place where I can sit. And maybe when the grumbles disappear, My joyful heart can bring some happy cheer.

I'm sorry, I didn't ask for a re-re to answer. Please sit at your desk and put your head down until the class is over.

Why are you and so many people cheering the commies over your own country? Are you really that bias and politically charged to choose those commie bastards over your own country? I seriously don't understand why people think China is worthy of defense or any praise compared to this country. China is one of the biggest pollution ridden countries, exploits labor at all turns (child, slave), engaged in genocide, completely white washes history (tiananmen square), created the Wuhan Virus, beheads CEO's who make bad toys, and they didn't even create General Tso's recipe proving absolutely they are frauds.

Korn was 30-45. But still amazing.

Anyone else still hate Bon Jovi enough to continue the boycott?

***** him. Willful liar. -
There are worse options out there. But this guy already put in his five or six years, he is the new Josh norman. He had a great run on a stack defense in Carolina which got him jump started.

Mr Nimbus doesn't need guns. He already controls the cops. -

I despise the NRA. Lol I don't own any guns. I never have. I lost them all in a boating accident in the ocean in a boat I never owned. -

weapons are tools.. tools are used by people. millions of people hit their thumb with a hammer. do we blame the tactical assault hammers sold at home depot or lowes, or any of america's finer home improvement stores? and for the record, i only like guns that can write perfect haiku's in full iambic pentameter. we have more guns than anywhere else. fact we do not have unrestricted access to firearms. fact. opinion rejected. idiot detected. mel gibson is a lethal weapon. danny glover not so much. again, your opinion that it is easy to access a lethal weapon is opinion. you're no david hogg but your effort to be him is both embarrassing and arousing. again, opinion, mr hogg. show me on this doll where the gun hurt you. take the time to look at month over month data on deaths and you will find no shifts in the amount of people who died before, during and after covid. it was a comorbidity. facts hurt your feelings mrs. hogg. that's right, you've been downgraded and clearly you want on his D.... so you're the princess now. well, KPI's show that over half of gun deaths are suicides. less than 20k homicides are by firearm - and that's even a bit of a stretch as any reported factors do not also consider proper mass shootings and accidental shootings as well as the all important justified shootings. no metric has improved with the dept. of education. the rest of what you said is nonsense sensationalism to deflect from the fact that the dept. of ed hasn't improved ed. i'm sorry your special ed teachers passed you along. it isn't? it is about helping all people. to me. thanks for your opinion of my opinion. it's been nice every place in the world has a **~~~*~ unIQuEEE CrisssiSSSS***%%~~ the problem isn't that... it's solving it. any idiot can see a problem. case in point you. now solve it, sweet cheeks. guns kill roughly 50k. less than 20k are homicide. less than 15k are intentional unjustified homicide. less than 3k are just regular folks, non trash gang bangers. of 350mm and 3k killed by mentally ill. i like those odds. scary big black assault guns. .rawr.... weak i'm bored now..... how about a nice game of chess? i don't even know who you are and i'm still spouting that same nonsense, sweetie. -

So, what we have learned is that if the bills want to go another direction from DT they may need to trade up.

Weapons that kill people? Please define and explain how weapons kill people. Mental health. We are not doing enough to work with a broken down and corrupt organization - my opinion of course. But, mental health is clearly an issue. Look at how many troons have committed these school shootings of recent, for example. What mentally fit, normal minded, average teenager is willing to kill someone? Do you think someone who is mentally of sound mind can, in cold blood kill someone? Yes, I think anyone can see our systems for the children of this country are fairly broken when we took them out of school for 2 years for a flu, don't regularly report crime amongst teenagers for fear it will deter growth and KPI's for communities, and our school systems have been falling lower and lower on scoring every few years. But, hey, thank God we got that Dept. Of Education in DC! Every country faces these challenges? They do? News on me. Other than the Muslim girls who cant even go to school because their pig fornicating men say it's not needed. Other than in many parts of Asia where children build your iPhone to help support their family. Other than Japan where kids just an hero when they face a crisis. Other than ... Well, hmm... Sounds like the world is a lot more complex than just a gun and your first world problems are kind of unique... But that could be a whole other discussion, huh? Maybe we are too soft on kids here, we lowered the bar a bit too much? Guns are easily accessible? sounds like it's the guns fault! So, your opinion here is just that. Opinion. Easily accessible? I guess, but they're not even the highest % of homicides. Knives are. Karmelo says "ey brah." The problem with this argument is you can make this claim and statistics will change the argument at every turn. While you're attempting to make a point it falls short. No, it's not misdirection. It's the hypocrisy on your part. And it's hyperbole and opinion on your behalf. Swifter, deadlier, more prevalent... The last my favorite. Knifes are like 30% iirc. Guns are less than 10%, and other objects about half. Deadlier, yes, 1.5% of the homicides in this country are awful. But the nearly 75% of assaults in this country make me more concerned about the overall problem. Mental health, crime & punishment, broken systems, and more. ...why are 1.5% of the problem? The 1.25% of crime which is gun related homicide... The 5.5 of 100k homicides by gun... Can we find correlation? Can we find any similarities? Can we dig deeper than just derp derp guns? -

Mental health is why it's happening. Poor educational systems are why it's happening. This is making more news for "injuries" than the cross town news of the kid in Frisco who stabbed and killed a kid over a cell phone. The kid who did it, Karmelo, now has his family a new house, $500k... The kid who died? A twin brother who held him as he died, lots of questions, and a perp who is saying self defense who went into the tent to attack and agress the group. So, yeah, guns are the problem. Or maybe it's just that people don't want to actually, you know, look for a root cause because they can't do so. Whoever you are, you're not winning. God the stench of basement dweller down here with all you newbies is awful. -
I am 6' 1 ½". At my tallest I was 6'3" For most of my life I was 6'2 ⅜". If you ask me now I'm 6'2". I shrunk. I don't think about it. Bad posture aside, this is the gotcha you think it is? *****, my brother was just under 6'2 and a tree fell on him and now he's barely over 6'. People shrink with age and just like a lot of things in life, including age, a lot of people don't care. Most men I know barely even know their own age.

100% the guy sounds like trash. Perhaps humanity is better off without him. It's not my call, don't know whose it is. At the same time it is concerning because a friend and loved one was lost to many. I can't imagine what his sister is going through, I just can't. This whole situation sucks but each part of his actions were choices he made. I hate that for him.

The guy has passed away. Any debt he owed in life is now gone. His family is left without a brother, son, father, friend and more. It is tragic he chose to end his life instead of of atone for his mistakes and overcome his demons. This isn't justice for the family of the man struck and killed and this isn't justice for the life of Karen Lacy. Both were given the gift of life.

This girl like so many has their entire identity online to their choosing. There is no privacy on the streets of the Internet. Anyone, anything, and anywhere is 100% always open for anything. Edit: this isn't victim blaming. She isn't the victim of him. He merely reported on a story in the news that was a major headline no different than anyone else.
