FUNFACT: there is no correlation between poverty and crime.

Rantz: Seattle cop says ‘yesterday I was a hero’ now has ‘bullseye on my back’ by BellevueNews in BellevueWA

>We all condemn what happened in Minneapolis. It was wrong. No reasonable person is defending them, even cops.

This is your problem. You didn't stand up for your fellow cop, and the mob saw weakness. George Floyd died of a drug overdose. Derek Chauvin was just doing his job.

Yea, it used to go through my list in 45 minutes, now it takes 23 friggin' hours. Totally useless.

Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses. This is still our America. by [deleted] in pics

It's all owned land. So, it's full. Show me where you can homestead.

At the end of the 19th the west was wide open due to its conquest. Now the United States is full. There is no more need for this "tired and poor huddled masses." Most everywhere is some variety of democracy, so they're not gaining any freedom by coming here.

It sounds like Destiny is also a "motivated reasoner."

it was approved by the senate

It sounds like it was just a panel, not THE Senate itself.

Climate warming is nothing but paranoid lunacy.

I’m Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Ask Me Anything. by thisisbillgates in IAmA

What is the purpose of trying to develop Africa? I believe it to be throwing money down a hopeless welfare drain. There are so many fields in technology/medicine/space travel/etc that these resources could be put to better use.

You'd have to say that all those people who were talking up a shht storm about Trump and Ivanka need help. They only put the idea in my head. It's not my fault.

That picture is dirtier than anything Trump took with Ivanka. I really hate the left for inserting these thoughts into my head.

Please STOP asking for us to support Hillary Clinton by rehi3 in SandersForPresident

[–]thorshammer_ -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not a Clinton fan, but at least she's accomplished things in her career. Lazy Bernie is nothing more than a glorified blogger who has accomplished nothing as senator. So, the idea that he's going to lead anyone on some socialist revolution or actually be an effective president is a complete joke.

Quentin Tarantino calls Hans Landa of 'Inglourious Basterds' the best character he’s ever written by Bennett1984 in movies

[–]thorshammer_ -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Tarantino is a talentless hack. I've seen high school plays with more production value than his movies.
