It looks like a livernose purebred ridgeback, based on the picture on Gawker. Can't see the ridge so can't judge conformation, but in my experience puppies like that sell from choosy breeders in the area of $3k-4k.. And the pickiest (in terms of judging people wanting to buy) sell for no less than $1200 and up for pet…

She's super smart, but I have an instant aversion to anyone who refers to most regular people as "the masses."

Is the accountant really responsible for not warning her that she didn't have an infinite amount of money, and better not spend everything she makes plus more? Can she not read an account statement? "Dumb guy" is her accountant, not her daddy.

Probably because Russia spent 50 billion rebuilding Sochi and couldn't make their shiny new buildings modern enough to handle toilet paper?

I think you need to post that six more times!

It's often the case that front line customer service workers for massive multinational food chains are fully briefed on the complete food production process, the source of all the food products, and the applicable laws in multiple jurisdictions.

He should apologize sincerely, identify all the descendants of those who labored at the plantation, and tithe the major portion of his wages to them evenly until an actuary certifies that the economic damage done to their ancestors is repaired.

THE QUEEN IS PROPERLY ADDRESSED AS HER MAJESTY, AND THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE AS HER GRACE. NEITHER ARE HER HIGHNESS.

It looks like he purposefully kept the cute blonde in the game. Assuming he's married or something already, is that because she's a known entity and he doesn't want two new opponents in the next match?

Oh I get it. Har har.

Nope. Not even a little bit. What his ancestors did was wrong. But there are a million very good reasons why it's impossible for him or his living relatives to pay reparations now.

The second bit is just factually incorrect. Nazi ideology was explicitly "scientific" and not religious, there were religious Nazis but the Nazi doctrine had no religious or divine basis.

The Nazi philosophy and doctrine was irreligious, they never viewed themselves as God's chosen anything.

Israel didn't conquer a nation named Palestine. The occupied territories were controlled by nations in the Six Day War - Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon. Israel defeated their invasion, and kept the land these countries had on its border.

I guess perhaps I'm still missing your "macro point", and esp how it relates to the topic in the OP. The Bronze Age reference... is that a suggestion we shouldn't care about peoples being shuffled, banished or destroyed? Or that we can't care about one group if we don't care about them all? And what ONE THING is it…

And you clearly are an enlightened skeptic, with only the most deeply researched opinions founded on clear facts and insightful analysis.

It's only fair, since all the blindly anti-Israel commentariat is already here.

I think Israel's death-grip on territory is the direct result of the Holocaust and Jews reaction to it. Recall that the occupied territories became occupied, in large part, because the nations that owned them previously attacked Israel. These nations intended to deny Israel the right to exist, and to drive out the…

I think that waiting for peace to help people in immediate humanitarian dire straits is wrong and unethical, regardless of "international law." I think international law is the furthest possible thing from a paramount canon of what is just, and I doubt that anyone possessing even a basic familiarity with international…

Last refuge of the Internet commenter whose arguments flop - call your opponent a moron and a troll and drop the mic. Yeah, you definitely win.
