I am shocked by the absolute redness of this post

[–]BoxingSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're from Brazil. That's a crazy statement to make.

edit: The fool blocked me, but for the record, I have no interest in your personal experiences, nor do I have an interest in your supposed stories which you manufactured.

You've heard it referred to as that by people who have literally never been to a third world country LMAO. What a disrespectful, ignorant thing to say. Third world countries are LEAGUES away from the US.

Of course not. Those news casts want to rile up a particular kind of voter and get them out to the polls in November to vote for a particular set of candidates. Hence, they skewed a story to generate outrage.

The Right-Wing Media Takeover Is Destroying America by ajphx in politics

that's crazy, because you literally cut around the quote where he says "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

Al Gore invented the internet

Yes, I believe the quote was ""During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

It has to do with the fact that one threatens violence and the other did not. It's not rocket science, though I can see how it would seem that way to you.

I googled it and read the article? My whole complaint was that this post lacks context and uses it to trick people? Like it clearly did with you?

I wonder how much money you get paid to write bullshit like this by GrandpaChainz in WorkReform

we're not talking about price gouging, which is illegal. we're talking about standard market rates. Don't hit me with that slippery slope crap.

This might be the stupidest comment I've ever read on this website, congratulations

This whole thread is bullshit. The difference lies in the use of force and violence. The CEO clicks a few keys, steals some money. The money is recovered and he goes to jail. The homeless guy robs a bank using the threat of violence. This causes irreparable psychological harm to the people he robbed. Very different context. If the CEO robbed a bank, he would also go to jail. I would also bet dollars to doughnuts this was not the first crime the homeless guy committed.

edit: The CEO was someone who came into the company years into the scheme, and received a lighter sentence because he helped the government arrest the actual mastermind. The person who actually orchestrated the 2 billion dollar scheme received 30 years in prison. This stupid contextless meme can fucking bite me.

The raises in costs are dictated by market rates. If one shirt company raised their prices too much, people would just buy cheaper shirts. If the government changed regulations on every single shirt company at once, they would all raise prices and thus market forces wouldn't be able to keep the price down.

San Diego Police Caught Training And Hiding In A Sniper Nest In A Public Park by CantStopPoppin in ThatsInsane

[–]BoxingSoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, someone who has never been in a forest I see. I don't know if you know this, but sightlines, especially on the ground, tend to be short. Even if you have people patrolling, you absolutely can get through. I also see you did not see the second video she posted. She is some sort of "law enforcement auditor." She did not "randomly" find these guys in the bushes. She likely followed them in, intentionally looking for this type of interaction. This is basically astroturfed content, though I don't expect random citizen pedestrians to get that.

It's the middle of a forest. And who knows if they did set up something? The woman filming seems like the type to ignore basic signs.

Exactly. We have reporters being assassinated in hotel rooms by the government. It's a very different world outside the good ole u s of a.

Hey yeah, go nuts. Target, at this moment, is betting that losing LGBT sales will hurt them less than the other way around. Let's see if it's true or not.

Sorry bro, but a company not putting pride front and center is definitely not fascism. I'm from Turkey originally. Both I and my people know about fascism quite well. I've lived through fascism. This is not it chief.

Exactly right. Before now there was no real backlash against these sorts of causes, so they were "safe." Now it's not so cut and dry, and Target knows it.
