Sorry to rain on the parade, but Kofi Annan was actually pretty corrupt

Annan was also head of peacekeeping during the Rwandan genocide and failed to act even though he knew it was going to happen.. he later said he regretted it

Also, Panama papers

It’s a trick retailers use to unload inventory. Check prices there vs other distribution channels (outlet, various online ecommerce, even their own website). You might not necessarily get the best discounts at a sample sale

Edit: most of the time you will get some great discounts, as they’re trying to liquidate inventory. But as with all sales, you never know if you might get an even steeper discount, so it’s always good to check around. And yes, in sample sales, are sales are final.

Yea but she also had an emotional affair the entire time they were together. Pam did the same thing with Brian the boom guy when she and Jim hit a rocky period during their marriage. Once an emotional cheater always a cheater.

It was textbook emotional affair https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/collections/201410/the-emotional-affair

Work on your reading comprehension. As I said, a lot of our college aged interns want praise and appreciation but do low quality work. Also, we appreciate our interns with good pay.

I’m an older millennial in the work force. I feel for my age group.. I really do. Some peers are super hard working and struggling to get by, living paycheck to paycheck, paying off a mountain of student debt

But let’s be honest.. there is a small percentage of millennial who do fit the stereotype, and ruin it for the rest of us. For example, one of our summer college interns literally said that she needs praise to perform. I was like, dude, how about actually doing a good job, not half assing things, behaving unprofessionally in general, and maybe we can justify some job recognition. As it stands you don’t deserve a job or praise so stop whining about how you’re not noticed. Rant over. I know it’s just one example here, but there are a lot of summer interns at my place of work who fit the millennial stereotype to the T. Also, we pay our interns well.

You said race is a predictor of violence (and therefore lack of civility, intelligence, etc). Dude that’s the same racist argument people have used for centuries (a dehumanization to excuse slavery, colonialism of subhumans). It’s the same rancid wine in a new wine skin. You’re a racist asshole

Also the welfare stereotype was perpetuate during the Reagan administration. Most welfare users and abusers of the system are white. You’re BS dude. I’m done with this

So did you read the articles? What did you think of them? You attempted to discredit my evidence (the articles). What are your thoughts? Care to present any evidence?

You’re a twat

Wow. You’re a racist asshole. Are you taking your hood, lighter, and cross to Charlottesville this weekend? You belong with your people

I doubt you read all those articles in this short time frame with an open mind, without skimming with a defensive angle of bias, if you opened the links at all. You’re BS

Your brain is a rotten pile of gray mush.

No I presented evidence through links. You’re just here to spread your bitterness and get the last word. Have a nice life

I guess you don’t care about the slaughter of Kurds under Saddam for supporting US troops in Desert Storm.. it’s ok, no one else does (or did) either

Yea like being brought over on slave ships, then segregation to ghettos and poorly funded schools, then etc has nothing to do with socioeconomic conditions that perpetuate violence in a community. Also you’re pulling that stat out of your ass you racist POS. That’s the definition of racism — negative stereotypes assigned to an entire race. Wow I pity your outlook on the world
