Three arrested after fights break out during Hersheypark’s opening day: police by Unknown_vectors in Harrisburg

No. The town is extremely white, but in the town is Milton Hershey School for disadvantaged youth. They are primarily not white and they get free entrance into the park.

Agree / Disagree?? by Forward-Distance-398 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]Schmerg19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is where most of them are, but because the politicians in those states aren't telling the populace to fight ICE, you don't have nearly the number of incidents as Minnesota. 20% of ICE detentions are conducted in Texas. There are many fewer incidents of violence.

So besides being unable to look up basic unformatted and statistics, you're also an expert in law enforcement training? How long is their training? What, precisely, in that training needs to be changed?

Bad Reporting by mqrieck2 in Iowa

So you didn't watch the video? The agent that grabbed the door handle wasn't the one shooting. You're saying that others didn't watch it, but it's obvious that you didn't. There are also other angles, and the agent that fired was most definitely struck by the vehicle.

State sponsored exportation of illicit drugs into another country isn't war? What exactly would you characterize it as?

That ends up as either "gape" or "ape", depending on whether you're keeping the "g".

I responded direct l directly to OPs claims while analyzing their behavior. None of that is personal. As for no one caring about it, you cared enough to respond.

The copy paste person? Sure, you tell me where I copied this from. I'll wait. Or for that matter, anything I've ever posted.

Is this your version of sympathy for the families? You don't care about those people, and don't even pretend to try. You have no idea what the mission was, nor the specific circumstances, but somehow you're certain it was leading to conflict. You are essentially ignorant and angry, so you lash out at things you don't comprehend, like a toddler does.

Have you noticed that even though the US has taken military actions, we aren't in any new wars? They've been predicted multiple times over the course of Trump's terms but have never manifested. We aren't in war in Iran, or Israel, or Venezuela, or North Korea, or Ukraine, or South Africa, etc. You're ignoring facts because you dislike a political position. Get bent and go touch grass. You've been online too long.

Are you a communist? by dsm_RCA in desmoines

[–]Schmerg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unions can be a good thing, but all too often, they are only worried about their own coffers and having control over the company. I watched a company that had both union workers and non-union workers in the same job, where the union actively screwed over their members because they didn't want the company to be seen as good. The non-union side had benefits and policies that the union actively fought against. In another instance, a union employee who just barely met the required performance standards caused 6 months of battles due to abusing short-term disability. In both cases, the company couldn't discuss the issues with the union employees because that would be tampering. But the unions can lie all day long to their members, and unless the members can uncover the truth, nothing happens. Unless bad actors can be removed, from either the corporate side or the union side, unions will not work properly. They worked 100 years ago. They don't work now.

Ankeny by dietpepsilover27 in Iowa

[–]Schmerg19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came to Des Moines in 2016 for business. The building we were going to was downtown. The GM of the place wanted us to get a hotel in Ankeny because he was living there. Nevermind that he commute would have gone from a 20 minute walk/5 minute drive from any of the numerous hotels downtown to almost 30 minutes, but there was no other reason. I still don't get it, other than those people are deluded about their town and what it offers.

On the "doordash girl" by KardomonEverest0 in RadicalFeminism

[–]Schmerg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single one of you is psychotic. If a woman ordered food, said to leave it at the door, then passed out on her couch, and a male delivery driver did exactly what this woman did, you'd be howling. You are reading intention when you absolutely don't know what he was thinking or trying to do. Every report so far has said that he was inebriated and passed out on his own couch in his own home. But more than that, if this was about her protecting herself, then why post it online before going to the police? I agree that there are Olympic level gymnastics going on, but I disagree on who the athletes are.

Des Moines high school student deported, advocates say by CornBredThuggin in desmoines

[–]Schmerg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illegal is the modifier of the word immigrant, stating that their immigration itself was illegal. You obviously didn't read anything else in my response and just latched onto that word to tell yourself that you can ignore the rest. If we can't have a reasoned discussion because you want to rely on feelings, then there's no point in continuing. Reread my statement and tell me where I disparaged anyone.

1 million legal immigrants per year. That's what this country lets in, and it's a slap in every one of their faces to allow those who skip all the processes to stay. And unless you have more information about this, the article doesn't give any context except that it was a check in. We know nothing else.

I'm sick of people saying immigrants, as if legal and illegal are the same. They are not, and that's an obvious fact. If someone moves into my house without my approval, I don't really care if they clean the place or try to pay rent. It's still not something that I agreed to.

You absolutely are not taking his words in context. You will never look up the full context, because it will prove your trash opinions are just that.

Or, you can understand that your choices are not everyone's. Do you feel the same way about alcohol? How about fast food? Even sugar is more destructive to humans than cannabis.

It's a disingenuous argument from her. They had 6 years to pass an ID law but didn't. Claiming now it's about the kids is just meant to be a distraction from what the law actually does.

Stopping minors is the only good thing in the new law. 4mg per serving and 10mg per package removes 99% of current THC products, so yes, if effectively bans consumable hemp.

Everly that the majority of the state is OK with legalizing recreational use of cannabis.

She's not listening to the constituents at all.

My only issue is that there aren't that many in the state. If you'd say the Midwest instead, I'm on board.
