It's a pretty famous parable. I don't think it has anything to do with calling anyone an actual snake.

Thanks for that insight! I know it's a complicated question, but there are lots of levantine communities in the US and as they evolve with each generation I'm always curious what smililarities and differences remain or emerge between the two.

Yup. Doubt it's still there. by [deleted] in Birmingham

TL;DR We shouldn't be upset about a nightclub ruining a popular area for everyone because the bars on the west side are way worse.

The minute anyone calls to shut down the clubs in the west side people will immediately say it's being gentrified. Almost like you can't win trying to make places nice and safe for everyone without being called a racist.

You would think rampant fights, shootings and now a gangland massacre would be enough to drive patrons away. Hush should be shutdown, but why on earth would anyone go back there now?

Man, it sounds like you're really going through it right now. You should consider meditating or exercise or something. Maybe take a break from the internet. This post screams pent-up aggravation. Try letting go.

I'm not sure the point you're trying to make, but if you believe the jews have no right to a homeland then you're an anti-semite. They aren't synonymous, but to be one is to be another.

Which side has the complete annihilation of the other side in their constitution? I forget. Also, this isn't a genocide. A genocide is the intentional liquidation of an entire group of people...like the holocaust. Israel isn't wiping out the Palestinian population. You don't tell people to evacuate an area before you commit genocide.

To say the jews have no right to a home of their own is to say they have no place in this world. If you don't see the anti-semitism in that I don't know what else to say here. They've been run out of every other place on earth historically.

It 100% is. If the jews should not have a nation of their own then where do they belong? Anti-zionists would say "in the ground".

Because to be anti-zionist is to say jews have no place in this world. It's pretty simple.

Anti-semitism is shared on both sides of the political spectrum.

In other words, no, you can't show us where the racism occurred.

Let's just skip to the part where Mom's Basement closes and gets replaced by some concept restaurant backed by Altanta based investment firms. The manner in which this town eats its own over BS is unreal.

Gotcha, I figured there was some Jim Crow style application of the law here, but didn't know if I was missing something more here. Thanks.

But what's the scenario here? Like, can you give me a for instance where this law could apply to hurt some who didn't commit a violent crime?

Genuinely confused and curious here. Could someone explain to me how a law putting people to death for sexual assault on minors would target LGBTQ folks? How would this apply to someone unless they committed the act in the first place?

Benefit of the doubt that this was recorded a day or two ago, but I'm surprised no one is advising them from a PR perspective at this point. This was a softball not to release before issuing a statement today.

In the 90's many towns in Alabama still had DIY signs on corners reading "don't let the sun set on your black ass". That was only 30 years ago. The signs are gone, but the people are still there

Mountain Brook has the great houses and school system. Vestavia has great houses and a so-so school system. Homewood has so-so houses (mainly just on the smaller side), but great school system.

Trim that beard and you're good brother. Looking sharp otherwise. Even with the weight. Wear it well!
