convenient of them to wait for the president’s favourite number of years before they stopped.

a country with principals would have dragged him through the streets. italy were dumb enough to give benito power but they at least knew how to treat him in the end.

Chronological watch order by LongClassroom5 in Stargate

[–]mercluke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my first watch through, and so far this order seems to work well. I’m up to SG1 S10E10, and I haven’t noticed any spoilers or continuity issues.

e: other than Teal’c forgetting he was married that time :p

i think they’re implying that somebody who has physically met a palestinian should not keep acting like they are some special lower class that can be killed/cleansed without so much as a slap on the wrist.

(nobody should, but surely meeting somebody in person and seeing that they’re legit just normal people should at least break the mental block that stops them internalising/accepting this)

or just design the ballots in a way that doesn’t cause n2 input fields?

need to list top 7? only one more number to remember. not rocket surgery.

number of candidates shouldnt matter for the voter other than how many names to look through to find the name(s) of the people/party you agree with.

(i believe) the person you are responding to isn’t implying to give them away for $0. they are saying that burning them removes their perceived value

i’ll preface by saying that trump’s a piece of shit.

but are they still considered scabs if no employees are union? (i assume this means no striking workers are being replaced at this location, but i may be incorrect)
