    At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see a reboot of Knight Rider done with a Google Maps car, a Tesla or something.

    Just want to point out, they have rebooted Knight Rider a few times.

    That's just it, I don't want to be a racist bigot king at all. But so many people in the world think I should be forced to do work for them against my will. Their rights override my rights, for some reason, when I really don't even care what group someone is a part of. As long as the group isn't "criminal" or "rapist", or something similar, their group isn't my business, except they keep making it my business.

  8. I didn't say it was OK, I said that "I wish the US acted differently." What I am also saying is that you are criticizing one country for something that many countries have done and still do. Why do you give other countries a pass? Why do you only condemn a certain country of group of countries?

  9. Welcome to the human race, pal.

    Everything you lament there has been done by every group of people since time began. The only difference is the Europeans globalized it, whereas the armies of Alexander, Rome, the Mongol Horde stayed mainly in EuroAsia, and the smaller warlords were confined to attacking their neighbors.

    I wish the US acted differently. But I don't see the point in condemning the US for acting like everyone else.

    Leaka s chat!

    Not all Private corporations are bakeries with retail store fronts. If you want to discriminate against gays, Jews, Milagros or whatever group of potential customers, you are free to do as long as you don't have a public operation.

    Retail storefronts using public sidewalks and featuring and unlocked front door are not private. If you are in a mall, then the mall has its own rules and is subject to the same.

    So, all I need to do is own the sidewalk in front of my store? Really? That can be done.

    I will buy a lot in an undeveloped block, clear the land, build a store, pour a cement sidewalk, and put a sign next to the building and sidewalk that I did put there: We only serve people of the correct race.

    Does that pass your test of public vs private business?

    Crime 1:

    The US politicians had sent their army to Iraq based on a pack of lies, and they knew it. .

    Crime 1A. You think the reason for invading Iraq mattered. It didn't. We didn't need any more of a reason than what Saddam Hussein provided.

    This is because we were still "at war" with Iraq from the previous round of hostilities. That round ended with a 'cease fire' agreement, not a peace treaty saying the war was over. Part of that cease fire agreement was that Saddam wouldn't be an asshole. He was an asshole, many times over. So, in accordance with the cease fire agreement that Saddam violated, we went back into Iraq and removed him from power.

    No crime was committed by our invasion, as it was specifically spelled out in the cease fire that it would happen is Saddam did certain things, which he did.

    It's not the "kids" that are having their voting rights revoked, it's the adults.

    I'd have thought you'd have a whole lot more "Robert Cooper" vs "Shaquillia Jackson" born on any given date?

    There are a lot of black Robert Coopers. I happen to know one, who's a professor at UCLA and another who has been recruited by Florida State to play defensive tackle next year. Both are of voting age.

    Were they both born on the same data? If not, this database doesn't care about them.
