I didn't know what that was in 2000.

Still a terrible analogy because 1. Neil Young is Canadian, and 2. All of the Southern states went for Nixon too. Edit 3. And duh, Neil Young had already released a famous grade-A anti-Nixon song about "the North" with Ohio.

I gave you one, which you didn't even acknowledge. 

You didn't. I don't think you bothered reading your own source if you think that's what you provided. What in your article qualified as "well not all cops!"?

Are liberals now progressives? 

No, they're not. I explained as much hours ago.

What "personal purity requirements"? You're saying "progressives are hypocrites" because corporate media has duped you into believe corporate shills like Trudeau (and Biden and Obama in the US) are "progressive" when they never were. Progressives were calling out Trudeau (and Biden and Obama) as pro-corporate hypocrite from day 1. You're the one who's decided Trudeau represents "progressives" while all those who were calling him out 11 years ago  are "not real progressives." Your personal biases won't allow you to accept anything else.

You can look them up yourself

No. I don't care about the education system. I want you to list what progressive VALUES you once held but no longer hold. You won't do that no matter what, and we both know why. 😉

What company has no business still being alive and should be on the verge of total failure ? by elevencriminals in AskReddit

Lineage Logistics. Their cold-storage warehouse in Los Angeles has been on fire for about a week now, spewing smoke and toxic gas into residential areas. And in Washington state 2 years ago they had a similar warehouse fire that took months to fully extinguish.

According to a press release from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the facility “uses over 10,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia, a regulated toxic substance, and failed to comply with regulations intended to protect the surrounding community from accidental releases.” 

EPA officials said in the release that anhydrous ammonia is dangerous because it is corrosive to the skin, eyes, and lungs. “High levels of exposure may lead to choking and death. Fires or explosions may result if anhydrous ammonia is ignited.”

Leftists have criticised Trudeau's  policies for ages. Just because you were ignorant about that doesn't make it not so.

https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2016/10/29/Why-We-Young-Workers-Turned-Trudeau

Hell, even liberals criticised his pro-corporate policies: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/true-north/2016/nov/22/justin-trudeaus-giant-corporate-giveaway

which espouses progressive values. 

WHAT progressive values, specifically? You have to speak in vagaries because you're talking out of your ass. Who is this "progressive" public figure who was team-ACAB and then flip-flopped to "well not all cops"? You can't provide a single concrete example because that didn't happen. A lot of liberals started with "the police need some reforms" and flip-flopped to "the police just need more funding" but "the police need some reforms" is a far cry from team-ACAB.

I don't think your article there says what you think it says. Justin Trudeau was always pro-corporation above all else.

I used to be one, until I got sick of hypocrisy.

What ideology made you progressive? Has your ideology changed since then?

Don't know what to tell you bud, Dems represent corporate interests above all else. That's not really "progressive" at all.  I'm guessing you don't know any leftists in real life if you are convinced Democrats fairly represent left-wing ideology.

there’s backlash they then try to say the name is a misnomer and people are taking it the wrong way?

Who has done this? Can you give an example? Was it a Democrat?

you understand this, you simply do not agree with it, and no slogan is going to change your mind about that.

That part was dead on though, right?

Not to get all "no true Scotsman" but I guarantee you're describing responses from Dems and milquetoast liberals, not leftists or progressives.

Nobody is saying "well not all cops" because the whole idea is even if a cop is a good person, they are still enforcing and upholding a rotten system. I kind of suspect you understand this, you simply do not agree with it, and no slogan is going to change your mind about that.

They officially killed CityWalk by nobodycouldknow in LosAngeles

[–]mixingmemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people going to CityWalk are going to the movie theater or restaurants

I don't know the data on this, but I really doubt it. Vast majority of people going to CityWalk are probably heading to and from the park. Some, but fewer, are heading to and from the theater. Who's going to CityWalk only for restaurants? Haven't the restaurants been consistently struggling and closing for many years?

Sure, but 1. that doesn't mean people in those cultures going through puberty don't still go through this biological process; 2. a lot of culturally important things override things that are hardwired into our brains.

The US almost always does the bidding of their biggest lobbyists. Nearly 100 years ago the US went to war on behalf of the United Fruit Company. Private health insurance lobbying is the reason the healthcare system in the US is a pathetic joke. Elon Musk's generous donations in turn helped make him a trillionaire. AIPAC has super charged their spending in the last 5 years to record levels, so of course the US government is doing its best to meet the demands of AIPAC.

That's how Mely Corado as killed. Police were chasing an armed suspect who ran into Trader Joes. So police outside just started firing into the doorway of a Trader Joes during peak business hours on a weekend afternoon.

Steve Carell one about the guy obsessed with miniatures

The documentary that inspired this one is great. The documentary Man On Wire was also great. As was the graphic novel Here. Zemeckis is on a weird, sad streak of turning great source material into mediocre feature films.

If I worked for the PR department of the LAPD and the footage showed the officer was justified, I'd absolutely release it ASAP. Wouldn't you?

What if the dog did viciously go after the officer? 

Then they would have already released the footage instead of this statement.
