“The fact that we had to jump through so many hoops to keep them alive was the writing gods telling us that if they were meant to live it wouldn’t be this difficult.”

Canada is 89% white. The U.S is 75% white (including Hispanic whites).

Nationality and ethnicity aren’t the same. Canada is more ethnically homogeneous than the US and particularly has a much smaller black population. The bigger difference is that, aside from aboriginal populations, it’s generally less segregated.

Yes but the people speaking those 4 official languages in Switzerland tend to look a lot alike.

Australia and New Zealand are mostly white people and indigenous people. According to wikipedia, they are substantially less diverse than the US.

Fair play. As uncomfortable as it makes me, this component of things really should be included in the discussion.

“Sachs points to the profound racial and ethnic segregation of our society”

yes, hopefully the FBI can afford to hire another agent so they can focus on more than one case at a time

Assault is the crime of making an attack, regardless if the attack was successful or not. Holding a knife to a throat or shooting a bullet that misses by half a foot is still a criminal act even though no injuries resulted.

Well threats against women are not acceptable either but in this particular case it wasn’t just a threat but also an actual attack. They may not have stood outside the mans house with a club and whacked him when he came home but knowing that the man suffers from a potentially dangerous condition and actively trying to…

The public is likely to perceive Applicant’s mark as an extension of Opposer’s lifestyle brand. Based on this evidence we find that Opposer’s mark MARGARITAVILLE and Applicant’s mark MARIJUANAVILLE are similar in connotation and commercial impression.

What this story doesn’t mention is that the gif sent was personalized for Eichenwald (along with the flashing animation, it said “You deserve a seizure for your postings.”) I’ve been following this case and, if everything checks out, I’ll be glad to see this person jailed. Trolls are cowards.

“So, why you in prison?”

“I stabbed a guy.”
“Drug deal gone wrong.”
“Thought the girl was 18.”
“Oh, me? I was a professional troll who tried to give a guy a seizure over twitter because he was Jewish.”

Normally, I’m not one to agree on this sort of thing, but I’m with Jimmy Buffett.. It does sound like exactly what you’d think he’d name a pot shop if he opened one, so yeah I can see how that infringes by making associations that arn’t there.
