Yeah but then I would have to get into an argument about whether whites can be the victims of racism and I'm growing a bit tired of that argument (as nobody has changed my view and I doubt that I have changed theirs). Though I do agree that "hate crime" is problematic in some ways. For instance if I commit murder 1…

Depends on his lawyer. But I would assume since it isn't an attractive nuisance (like a dog or a pool) and the roof isn't designed for that (I mean the normal use for a roof isn't to catch falling people), probably not. Though the burglar and the knives did manage to win (fell through a sky light onto knives that sat…

Yeah sorry. I noticed after I fully expanded the thread but had already posted.

I don't see what the big deal is (with the folks in the picture). They don't seem to be threatening anyone. They look more annoyed than angry. The one thing I would say is holding a gun like that is bound to tire out your arm so I would suggest slinging them.

They aren't brandishing the weapons (which means to wave or flourish as a threat in anger or excitement), they are just wearing them (still understandable that many would not feel comfortable with that). But considering how courts have been throwing out restrictions on concealed regulations I would hazard a guess that…

Actually DC's ban on carrying fire arms was recently overturned. So likely you will see more people suing for the right to open carry, or at least the right to concealed carry with a permit.

Funny enough the author of James was pretty anti-Jew. So I wouldn't be surprised if he hated gays too.

Well, there's some argument as to whether Germans where the right kind of White at the time or not. Look up hate crimes around WWI and you'll find a lot of anti-German hysteria. And if you look up treatment of the Irish from the 1800's it's similar. It's really about being the right kind of White (like how Catholics…

You do realize that's suppose to be a German soldier, right?

The Nazi's actually (assuming the German National Socialist party and not the white supremacy neo-Nazi groups that have popped up in the US and else where) where actually pretty tough on civilian gun ownership (compared to the US) often requiring permits to purchase hand guns (though they of course waived this for…

You don't have to wait for that. Since race doesn't pay a direct effect on intellect (i.e. being white doesn't give a genetic benefit to intelligence and being black doesn't genetically harm it (at least to my knowledge correct me if I'm wrong)) you can simply study POCs that are over the median wage on average (or…

The Wolverine one worked ok I thought.

Not really. bj316 doesn't seem to say be tolerant of their views or of them proselytizing. Just of them practicing their faith in a way that doesn't effect you.

That's good. I forget the guys name but their was a Spanish slave owner who gave up everything became a monk and is considered the first advocate for human rights. I remember reading a piece that advocated for replacing Columbus day with a day for him.

I don't know. I would prefer a person with a more singular legacy than RBG. Maybe Sojurner Truth, Harriet Tubman, or Rosa Parks.

Very nice and informative article.

People allays want a symbol. I'm kind of happy at least no one seems to have attacked her or such.

True. Their is a huge problem with reporting and many important issues (Corporate welfare and the like) get swept under the rug in favor of "entertaining" stories (either on actual entertainment or issues that people will be entertained by) or outrage stories. I never got why seeing as you would think a 24hr news…

If they have steady jobs they do. Many work under the table (just as many Legal residents do). And for those who don't their is the question of who those taxes are being filed under. Since they don't have a SS# or the legal resident alien equivalent. If someone were to be audited by the IRS that extra income being…

Um. Laws have changed (or been created). Almost no country has an open border policy for immigration.
