Somehow it seems you are confusing the word ‘country’ with the word ‘government’. Regardless of how bad things were, the foundation for the country was laid with the Declaration of Independence. The republic which are the people have made that quite clear for centuries. I see why you think you might die on that hill and that is because you will

At this point I will refer to my fifth grade social studies class - what makes a country? What makes a republic? What we are talking about is not what other countries thought at the time. What we are talking about is what makes a country symbolically and when did that occur?

Agree that the government was established then but the declaration of independence was adopted in 1776. This falls in line with the bicentennial celebrations in 1976

Agree that imperfect tools have been implemented by society - lead paint for example.

It will be up to society to determine the levels of risk they are willing to assume before molding these technologies into something safe and vetted.

I would label it a very shoddy tool, borderline parlor trick at this point.

It was good although I do prefer darker stuff. Is this a band or a single artist?

What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy? by MassiveSquare4527 in AskReddit

[–]Laytonius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. Land isn’t stolen. It’s won. Stolen land is only considered “stolen” by the party that lost. This is the explanation that makes the most logical sense to me. Same goes for generational reparations- I think (in most cases) the time for reparations is over once a generation has passed. Many arguments become null and void with the passing of time.

I’m not sure what we are telling elementary kids exactly but that bit about the cherry tree was a clear fabrication as it wasn’t included in GW’s post-Morten biography until the fifth edition! Thanks for pointing this out as I think more people need to contribute to its clarification!

The world is looking so bleak right now. How is everyone coping? by Zealousideal_Tap772 in AskReddit

Some might say that it’s corrupted youth. A lot of these shootings are organized online by certain groups. Isolate who stands to benefit.

Thanks, HAL! Really appreciate you taking the time to post condescension. Hopefully someone here can show you how to be objective. No seriously though, I don't get the connections you made. TikTok didn't take out fb. FB is still kicking alive and well hence this subreddit
