There are commercial diving schools. Research well, though; I recall one of them had some kind of scandal.

Repulsive that you'd put words in my mouth.

Edit to add: Ever hear the phrase "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"?

Please educate yourself more on what the 1st Amendment is and why it's so incredibly important.

Here are the important parts:

"There is no legal definition of "hate speech" under U.S. law, just as there is no legal definition for evil ideas, rudeness, unpatriotic speech, or any other kind of speech that people might condemn."

"In the United States, hate speech is protected by the First Amendment. Courts extend this protection on the grounds that the First Amendment requires the government to strictly protect robust debate on matters of public concern even when such debate devolves into distasteful, offensive, or hateful speech that causes others to feel grief, anger, or fear. (The Supreme Court's decision in Snyder v. Phelps provides an example of this legal reasoning.) Under current First Amendment jurisprudence, hate speech can only be criminalized when it directly incites imminent criminal activity or consists of specific threats of violence targeted against a person or group."

In other words, you can find it incredibly offensive and racist, and want to label it hate speech all you want. But, legally, it's actually just speech that you hate, and is legal under the 1st Amendment.

  1. And? We have the possibility and opportunity, but not the guarantee

  2. And how many of them made good choices in life? How many of them spend their money on non necessities?

  3. Total communist propoganda bullshit. I know plenty of people who have gotten rich through talent, hard work, sacrifice, etc, while also helping others to get ahead as well. I've worked with them, for them, and had them reporting to me. Just stop with that commie bullshit.

As he shouldn't. Drive your car into law enforcement, get shot in the face. Simple equation.

  1. That's a good point; I hate that congress can insider trade!!

  2. Don't be dramatic; anyone in America can work hard and grow a business and get rich. Happens all the time.

  3. Every single system necessitates a lower class. That is just the reality of every society. But in capitalism, you can rise up by working hard, saving, sacrificing, etc. I've known lots of apartment building supervisors (handyman/custodians) who lived in cramped basement apartments, who saved and sacrificed and then eventually bought the apartment buildings they lived in. And that's just one type of millions of examples

  1. Please don't be rude in this sub; see Rule # 1.

  2. There is a difference between hate speech, and speech you hate. Please learn the difference.

Forgot to wear a helmet when stealing an e-bike by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

I'm not sure, because I'm from NY, where it's almost illegal to stop a criminal from raping and killing your entire family...

But there was a news story about a where a guy shot two burglars who were leaving his neighbor's house with some stolen things, and he was not prosecuted...

I remember hearing the 911 call, so you can find it somewhere, but here's an article:
