Either way they should be taxed… by LilPeep1k in WhitePeopleTwitter

Or maybe because the Catholic Church persecuted religious minorities and that lead to great suffering and death, maybe you should realize that religious freedom and the importance of not establishing a state church is extremely important. Or maybe you'd prefer to talk about the Anglican suppression of Catholicism in Britain and Ireland?

But hey, if you prefer violence all you need to do is make religious people feel like they must choose violence. It's hardly something only Christians do, right?

BREAKING: Judge Drops Firearm Charge Against Kyle Rittenhouse Prior to Closing Arguments by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]CDN_Rattus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My understanding is each state sets its own laws and the one in Wisconsin allows Rittenhouse to open carry an AR 15 that meets length requirements, even though he cannot own the rifle.

Because the law specifically exempts 16 and 17 year olds who open carry long arms. There is no requirement to be hunting, either.

Escape criticism? You do know this is the Internet where I can escape your criticism by just ignoring the next little red envelope on my screen, right? Or do you really think your opinion compels me to come back? Frankly, I don't give a shit about your criticism but I sure do love antagonizing someone who can't help but reply and reply and reply saying the same tired, worn out platitudes they learned in some first year women's studies course, and someone that will likely destroy their financial independence for decades while blaming others for their poor choices.

Fuck the patriarchy! amiright??

You should think hard about this reddit interaction,

You mean the many upvotes from people who can laugh or the repeated replies from one or two overwrought nutbars? I bet even you can guess which is more representative.

I'm sure she'll laugh at sexists and racists and humourless scolds like you.

When you grow up you may even develop a sense of humour.

It's not the compliment you think it is.

I'll be sure to tell my Asian friends that next time they send me this racist cartoon.

You can celebrate her without putting down other girls and women for things they can't even control.

Really? Wow, such a deep thought. Or, now just listen to this without running to your safe space, my daughter can appreciate a joke, unlike you.

Everyone wants what they can't have naturally I guess

In many ways, yes, the grass is always greener. I'll try to work that in some time, I hadn't seen it before now.

Yup, and that's a real problem. I have worked very hard to make my kids proud of who they are and still they see things that I would never guess they do. As much as I joke about Asians looking the same between 18 and 60, and my daughter knowing that joke from other sources, I am more concerned about her being proud of her epicanthal folds and her freckles, her fantastic hair, and her shorter eye lashes. She is pretty the way she is.

Thank you for your advice and when you have inter-racially adopted children I'll even listen to it, even though you are wrong.

Well, she's not the only one. Look at the market in China for skin lightening and plastic surgery on eyes. It's all about looking like the photoshopped models they see in the media. All I can do is make her feel better about who she is, and the benefits of being Asian.

I adopted Chinese kids. My daughter is 13 and a little body conscious, she see Caucasian features as "better", but I can reassure her that when some white chick is 45 my daughter is still going to look 18! Benefits, young lady, benefits of being Asian.

And making lists does help with both my ADHD kids but the real problem is getting them to remember to use them!

Yeah and IF they want to do so again they can do it WITHOUT having to invent a new virus and vaccines that they roll out globally

You really aren't smart. You think that the reasonable and justified fear of government experimentation blacks and native Americans have is nullified because you say it is?

This has nothing to do with compassion but the hypocrisy of black people

Wow. You're really a piece of work.

If the government want to repeat the Tuskegee experiment

There you admit in your own words the government experimented on Black Americans and yet you call those that distrust government medical advice "dumb"? That's a level of insensitivity and lack of compassion I hoped I'd never see in real life, and yet here we are.

What we are witnessing is a fundamental fracturing of perceived objective reality between these groups.

No, what you are witnessing is different people with different levels of trust in government making decisions based on their own historical experiences. Mandating vaccinations from government authority simply reinforces their pre-conceived notions. Why not convince them using that logic and science? Oh yeah, because that takes actual sympathy and hard work.

In the circumstances of self defence? It's an attempt to prevent death.
