If there weren't 'suburbs' in Detroit where all the white people moved to when they had enough money, Detroit wouldn't be having problems.
wait what?? are you saying that the city is ruined because white people left? You would think the people who stay there would have some self respect and want to maintain their city. How about instead of blaming them for leaving we figure out why they left and work on stopping that??
or is it perhaps they felt like their shit dont stink and want to be treated different?
before modding me down here me out. I was making this argument earlier on buzzfeed on a slightly different topic (internet trolls harassing women)
How many of you guys here have been on the net for 10 + years???
Of you guys how many have been told to go kill yourself? or that your a faggot? or that you suck at life and your mom should have aborted you??
I would wager every last one of you would raise your hands. so whats the difference here? Is it just because more women are getting into it so they see it and are just more vocal than guys are? is it because they want the attention?
Im not saying there is not a real problem, I just think the problem is no wheres near as big as its made out to be, and as i said im sure if you compare things guys say to each other, they are not much better than what is said to women
you know what. If you would log into the damn site, you wouldnt have to deal with it. Ive not once seen this beta site everyone is bitching about simply because im logged in.
If you dont like it, log in, otherwise just STFU, we have choices
the issue with your comment is that you are thinking about NYC or san fran living, well yeah, 35 K sucks in those places (as does 100K) I can tell you this because I am currently in the process of moving to NC from NYC suburbs, I will get to keep 40% MORE of my own money compared to now, by simply moving to NC from the burbs of NYC even if i take a 5K a year paycut. This is just due to taxes and cost of living.
35K a year in 95% of american is ok money, not enough to raise a family on but for a single person 35K will give you enough to buy a home, and save some money in the vast majority of the country
Shouldnt my passengers be given the same choice? I mean based on todays laws, we would never have even developed a car. Remember hand cranks? Was not uncommon for people to break their arms starting their cars!. if we didnt have cars already and someone tried to make one, they simply would not be allowed becuase of "safety"
The world is not a safe place, and conditioning everyone to assume its safe is wrong
the "nfl"" has no reason to "pay back" anything for stadium construction. Thats something to take up with the individual teams. Not all team lobby for tax breaks or assistance in stadium construction. your issue is with the teams, not the "nfl"
exactly. We know obama has no problem talking about how he has a pen and a phone, and he will act if congress wont... yet when we actually WANT him to do something he doesnt
It just goes to show a vote for an R or a vote for a D is a vote fore more of the same
Cars for example, should I be FORCED to wear my seatbelt (or pay a fine if i dont?) no - if i get in an accident and die because of my choices so be it. same with airbags. I should not have to spend 2 grand more on a car for airbags if I dont want them
Your other arguments are not so wrong but the cars one IMO is a bad example
yeah the read was really eye opening as a lot of this happened before I was born. I made a post above talking about the parts that really stood out to me, especially the part where the org was built above the law from day 1. I will have to get his books now, Im interested to see the changes from his first book in the 80s to the one from 08
its always funny to see these posts from AC, no one has the balls to make such idiotic claims with their real names
If you think this is R vs D and not The people vs The government, i got a bridge to sell you.
Even if nixon started it, you have had how many democratic presidents since him? I mean, if the democrats REALLY wanted to end it, they could have. be it carter, or clinton, or now obama. But no. they dont only not stop it but they expand it.
When will people wake up and realize that voting for an R is the same as voting for a D, maybe not in the short term, but the long term as shown this to be the case
What gets me in all of this (I RTFA earlier) are a few sections
But during the summer of 1975, as reports began leaking out from the Church Committee, I was surprised to learn that the NSA was claiming that it had shut down all of its questionable operations a year and a half earlier. Surprised because I knew the eavesdropping on Americans had continued at least into the prior fall, and may have still been going on. After thinking for a day or so about the potential consequences of blowing the whistle on the NSA—I was still in the Naval Reserve, still attending drills one weekend a month, and still sworn to secrecy with an active NSA clearance—I nevertheless decided to call the Church Committee.
So over 30 years ago, the NSA was doing the same thing its doing now. When it gets caught it says it stops doing it, yet it continues to do it (yet we didnt shut them down 30 years ago??!?!)
and this one is a doozy. At the same time the feds are complaining about google and apple using system wide encryption as in their eyes it "puts people above the law" yet at the SAME time the NSA charter puts the NSA above the law
The report’s prosecutive summary also pointed to the NSA’s top-secret “charter” issued by the Executive Branch, which exempts the agency from legal restraints placed on the rest of the government. “Orders, directives, policies, or recommendations of any authority of the Executive branch relating to the collection . . . of intelligence,” the charter reads, “shall not be applicable to Communications Intelligence activities, unless specifically so stated.” This so-called “birth certificate,” the Justice Department report concluded, meant the NSA did not have to follow any restrictions placed on electronic surveillance “unless it was expressly directed to do so.” In short, the report asked, how can you prosecute an agency that is above the law?
But getting so fired up and personally-involved in something in which people are really not personally involved is just sad to me.
Fair enough, I stand by what I said however. Im sure if you listed a number of your favorite things, other posters here would come up with reasons they are stupid and be "sad to them" as well
Perhaps you are into comics and go to comic-con," I mean Why would people put so much into a book of drawings enough to dress up like a fictional character with a bunch of other people you dont know dressing up as fictional characters, its sad to me"*
taking their trademark away is not "special treatment" its political targeting. Threatening to take away their non profit status or threatening to do X. If PEOPLE want to boycott, i support that. If people want to force the GOVERNMENT to take action. Thats where I have a problem.
I am of native descent. I do not find the name offensive in the slightest. There are over 1000 teams named after natives, in the hs - college- majors. the name is not offensive (I would argue chief wahoo from the cleveland indians as a mascot is a little offensive however)
its just the way you were brought up. I grew up playing all kinds of sports, Football, baseball, hockey, lacrosse. I was a state champion swimmer in the backstroke for 2 years. At the same time I was also building my first computers, going to space camp and watching shoemaker levy 9 crash into Jupiter.
I get people all the time who tell me " I dont understand how you can sit out there for hours just looking up" or " I dont understand how you can spend 10 hours on that computer of yours writing jiberish"
you say you get it, but based on the rest of your comments you dont. and thats ok! Im sure you enjoy things that myself and other posters would tell you we just dont get it.
Im all for taking away the NFL exemptions for blackout. But There is no reason whatsoever to try and force the NFL or the washington redskins to change the team name. It really is pathetic that people out there are making such a big deal about it. If you find it offensive, that is your right. but you dont have a right to NOT be offended by something. Your best bet is to A- not buy any of their stuff and B - root for the other team.

theres a new channel on time warner called El Ray which tends to show a lot of martial arts movies, (along with x files which always makes me happy)
really? i mean wow thats crazy to think of such ignorance (especially from someone who was bandmates with a needle user)
if you dont know where to buy real gold, you are doing it wrong. its really not that hard

I know, its easier to blame whitey

aids denial??? i cant recall ever hearing anyone deny that aids exist.
thank you! thats what ive been trying to say
are you a male teacher? if not shut up because he is correct
or is it perhaps they felt like their shit dont stink and want to be treated different?

can you reform your statement in english? when you try and put 10 different derogatory words into a single word it doesnt really work to well
also the irony of being upset with them for being insulting...while at the same time insulting me and about 1/2 the country
I will go cry a river, because its sad how stupid so many people in my country are at times.
