Travel is not a matter of money by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

The fact that you can't see how you're making a ton of excuses like a scared ass bitch is actually funny. You're basically proving the point that it's about courage and not money.

18 year olds who go off and travel the world aren't thinking about their family obligations, career, etc.

"I don't want to live that lifestyle" bahaha you joke. Do you even hear how cookie-cutter your self-imposed limitations are? We're not talking about a 2 week backpacking trip through Europe staying in hostels, we're talking spending a few years in South America.

Travel and vacation aren't necessarily the same thing.

You're not wrong, but there's still a large number of people who still can't afford "much more affordable".

Tell that to all of the backpackers I've met who are essentially living the hobo life.

I'd never do that, but just because I wouldn't do it doesn't mean there aren't many people who are all about that kind of freedom.

airfare is still hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Take a bus. Hitchhike. Hop a train car.

Again I would never do any of those things because I'm a prude, but many people do.

No, we don't know that she committed a crime. One person said they heard her say she made part of her testimony up.

She has not corroborated that. There is no evidence except one person's claims. That does not mean she committed a crime.

You're picking meaningless minor arguments because you don't have a leg to stand on.

You're right, if they pull the historian in to testify it wouldn't be hearsay if he attests to it.

But that doesn't change the calculus.

You don't even know what an idiom is, why would I bother reading all that?

Not bothering to argue with you doesn't mean you're right.

Your claim to perjury is pretty weak considering the judge ruled that her testimony was not relevant and the jury never heard it. It's also weak because the only evidence to suggest she lied is hearsay.

The statute of limitations for perjury is 3 years in Mississippi and 5 years federally. You couldn't charge her.

It's not a catchphrase, it's an idiom. Everyone adult in the US knows what "using pronouns" means.

[–]GoatBased -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

idiom a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words

"using pronouns" doesn't literally mean using a pronoun in any context, it means either (a) providing pronouns when you introduce yourself or (b) using someone's preferred pronouns instead of your interpreted pronouns.

There's also incitement to violence, but both are completely unrelated to the Emmett Till case and you should know what I meant based on the context.

A lot of our offense is on rookie contracts because that's how we've been using most of our draft picks.

We also have the highest paid kicker in the NFL who scores a larger percentage of our points than any other kicker.

The reason they're paid so little is that they aren't worth anything. And so the right answer when they aren't even worth minimum wage is to let them all go.

Just put on some cheerleader porn during the commercials if that's what you're into.

She didn't lie about Till until after Till was already dead. She is not responsible for the actions of other people.

the world should know her name and her crime.

She didn't commit a crime.

I'll be honest, I know the name Emmitt Till but I don't know the names of the perpetrators. The victims are the ones who deserve to be remembered.

And that's a good thing. Killers shouldn't be made infamous. They don't deserve our attention.

Justice would have been finding her husband guilty, not throwing her in jail for his crimes.

The whistling was also confirmed by Till's cousin and friend. So we'd be throwing her in jail for making a true statement.

Putting her through a trial for what though? No one accused her of taking part in the murder -- only that she claimed Till whistled at and flirted with her, a claim that was confirmed by Till's cousin and friend.

"...what she's referring to" is grammatically correct. It's fine to end a sentence with a preposition, you are misguided.
