Do you honestly believe there’s no message when people refuse to participate in a system they’ve lost faith in?

Death Note plot synopsis:

OH SHIT SOMEONE ATE AN APPLE

3 hours of nothing happening

IS THAT GUY EATING A CUPCAKE?

5 hours of nothing happening

WHOA HE’S EATING POTATO CHIPS NOW, THIS SHOW IS BRILLIANT!

Lots of people make the same mistake. Clinton did this on purpose, so people would believe the 1994 assault weapon ban actually did anything of value.

Assault rifle != Assault weapon. An assault rifle is a fully automatic or burst fire weapon. They’ve been illegal since 1986 and remain so to this day. And assault weapon is a made up term, based on superficial accessories like bayonet mounts or a pistol grips. Clintons AWB was essentially a “scary looking gun ban”. Guns that were functionally identical to banned guns were still readily available and perfectly legal.

Clinton conflated “assault weapon” and “assault rifle” intentionally to cause this sort of confusion and get credit for passing a bad bill that didn’t really address the problem.

AR-15 isn’t an assault rifle. The A stands for Armalite. The assault rifle version of the AR-15 is called the M16 and it’s illegal.

Assault rifles have been illegal nation wide for decades

Article didn’t mention FBI involvement. I think these are state charges.

“They’re probably illegal anyway. All them Mexicans are criminals” -a more likely quote from conservatives

given how bad you think it is

I didn’t say the UK was a bad country. Please stop making things up.

What miraculous country are you from that is so free from racism?

I didn’t say my country was free from racism. Please stop making things up.

“your racist country is so bad. Don’t talk”

I didn’t say that. Please stop making things up.

Who hurt you?

Nobody. Please stop making things up.

Norway isn’t part of the EU, does that mean they are racist?

Norway wasn’t a founding member that voted to leave primarily to avoid taking in immigrants

You have to be able to handle nuanced debates though.

Easily the smuggest thing I’ve read in weeks

You’ve completely changed the topic from slurs and what isn’t acceptable to a whole piece on racism

I laughed at someone using the UK as their example of race relations done right. I laughed because it’s funny, because the UK is one of the most racist countries in the world. Slurs are not the only form of racism.

If you just want to go down the “UK all bad!”

Where are you getting this shit from? It wasn’t from my post, that’s for sure.

to make yourself feel better to protect your country and feed that nationalist indignation

Wasn’t doing that. This was all about you picking one of the worst possible countries as your example of the alternative.

Even if we ignore all the dark shit the UK did to other races in the past in the name of imperialism, we’re still talking about a country that voted to divorce itself from a mutually beneficial economic alliance because it didn’t want to be forced to let brown people move there. They may not talk about it like the Americans do but the UK is still plenty racist.

Interesting. I didn’t know Canada had their own racial slurs, I figured they imported them from the US and UK.

TF is a dogan?

UK ain’t woke, just has some acceptance that people from different backgrounds have some value

Lmao. Of all the countries to say this about.

Typically something like a political campaign will use a dedicated texting service intended to send out mass texts. They’re not copy/pasting them on a consumer level cell phone account.

That person believes you are having a stroke, but I didn’t see anything wrong with your post. Seemed perfectly legible.

Not true at all. The iPad excels at simple things and will do them much better than an ancient Thinkpad. The iPad cannot do specialized or complex things.

If they have a nub instead of a track pad, yes

His career would have done that after a year or two if his brother hadn’t died
