  1. It's dumb when the government hands out money like this, considering they are basing whether you get a check or not based on the income you received last year. The easiest and fairest thing to do is to just give it to everyone, and if you make over a certain amount in the current year, you pay it back at tax time.
  2. I know. But a dude with no connection to the conflict can dream!
  3. Egypt annexes Gaza and pours their own military into the territory to keep the peace. Gaza would be a wholly owned peace of Egypt. Jordan does the same with the West Bank, but since it has too much cultural significance for 3 religions, it would be treated as more of a neutral zone.
  4. It for tat. How many time did the Arabs that surround Israel try to drive them into the sea?
  5. Soft targets are the only thing Hamas can realistically hit.
  6. No. Sanctuary cities/states are basically telling the federal government they will not help enforce immigration law. If the feds want to enforce immigration law, they are on their own. States who want to nullify federal gun laws are basically doing the same thing. If the feds want to enforce federal gun laws, they are on their own.
  7. At work, I do my best to only use "they" and "their" when writing emails. It's been ingrained to stay as gender neutral as possible in communications. But with English it's easy. Not so easy with Spanish, where just about every noun has a gender.
  8. Reverse cultural appropriation? I dunno. I just think it's fucking silly how whipeepo are trying to reinvent the language/culture that they never were a part of. The funny thing is, English is sort of the "odd man out" when it comes to gendered language. Many languages, including all of the ones based on Latin, use gender as part of the language. Forcing English language rules on these languages and cultures is dumb.
  9. I'm happy that the screws are tightening against these low wage work places, to be honest. Most of these places can absolutely afford to pay their workers substantially more, all without drastically increasing prices. The downside is that this upward pressure on wages will undoubtedly cause more small businesses to fail as they can't compete with big businesses like Walmart, Target, McDonalds, and others.
  10. So a bank who owns a foreclosed house is justified in murdering a squatter?
  11. Absolutely. It's too flimsy. Choose something like a Styrofoam cooler. They are light, sturdy, and cheap! Stick it to the man by pumping gas into your 2.99 Walmart styrofoam cooler!
  12. Palestinians aren't even liked by their Arab neighbors. Why else would Egypt maintain a sealed boarder border with Gaza?
  13. She's a witch! Burn her! Turns out they never actually thought she was a witch, but they had to go through the motions.
  14. So you want to charge someone with murder or manslaughter, even if the DA has no evidence to support such a charge? Because that's what the DA would have to do - charge them with a crime, in order to have them go to trial.
  15. I do like how the anti-death penalty DA in Fulton County is going to pursue the death penalty in the case of the massage parlor shooter. I guess some crimes are heinous enough to warrant death! Fulton County District Attorney will seek death penalty against Atlanta spa shooting suspect WWW.CNN.COM Robert Aaron Long, the suspect in the shootings that left eight people dead at three Atlanta-area Asian spas, has been indicted on murder charges, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty for hate crimes targeting the sex and race of the victims.
  16. Justice served. That guy gambled with his life and he lost. The world is better off without him.
