The US banned Heroin in 1924. People still die from it.

The lack of death data is telling with regard to Kinder Eggs.

CBP have literally detained people coming into the country from Canada with Konder Surprise Eggs into the country. One time they threatened fines of $2500 per egg.

There is no case that I know of where a child in America was harmed from a Kinder Egg.

You are correct. They asked for permission to use M&Ms, but Mars had a policy against any product placement. They went with Reese's Pieces instead and the resulting boom in sales (they had like 3 factories working 24 hours a day to meet demand) made the candy a hit and ruined modern TV and film.

Carville, and most of Seem leadership ideas folder is just"Sister Souljah" written over and over.

Nobody called you anything. Get off the cross.

Yep. We have the same here in the USA. Even backward-ass Florida where I used to live had ebook apps and inter-library loans.

There is no excuse for pirating a book.

Exactly. It's an entitlement mentality. People convince themselves it's a political stance, or they're different because of circumstances, but come on, you just want to steal the item.

I especially love it when it comes to pirating books. Libraries exist and they're wonderful.

It always amazes me the way people twist themselves into knots to justify the basic concept of "I want to enjoy this without having to pay for it."

Tate's post appears to be the final boss of whatever this level is.

Honestly I don't have enough data to give to a firm answer.

Just from the surface, I think it depends. The high numbers of white women who supported and continue to support Trump make me think probably not, but I've definitely met individuals who seem better informed about the issue.

A good friend of mine was convinced he was the target of government oppression in the early 2000s after he got a ticket for marijuana possession. An officer observed him smoking in his car.

He got a full dismissal after competing community service. I have never been able to make him see it.

Are you suggesting you can tell somebody's sexuality just by learning their name?

These people also never lived with the media functioning as a propaganda outlet, reinforcing government-aiding stereotypes and selling an image of you that makes you the victim even when you're the victim.

There are a lot of people in minority groups who think they know government action, but they mostly know horror stories dealing with state action.

Black people deal with large-scale targeted action from the feds. That's a different class of oppression altogether.

I would give anything to be able to go back and observe the convention.

Like how much was "keep it vague to avoid argument" vs "Who cares, this will be void in like ten years."

Honestly, one of the biggest failures of our Constitution is the founders didn't make any effort to define terms and took things as common knowledge.

Thus, we end up with our "the accused shall enjoy the right to... trial, by an impartial jury...doesn't always mean the accused gets a jury" caselaw

I'm not trying to continue fighting. I'm sorry if it seemed that way.

I don't know why this has you so worked up, but there's no point in continuing down a path of sarcasm and insults.

It's a hoot. Apparently only the KKK has ever used the term Anglo-American in any context.

The things you learn on social media.
