Please quote my post where I said what the harassers in the article did was appropriate or good. You can’t, because I went on at length to point out that even though I consider RELATED behavior (not what the victims did, but what their harrassers were projecting onto them, minus the racist “freeloader” stuff) rude,…

For not reading my post, twisting what I said to almost the exact opposite, and calling me a racist? You have low standards.

Saying something’s rude isn’t the same as making some kind of vow to police said behavior, or even claiming that it’s people’s right. If someone went around yelling at everyone who sneezes into their hands instead of their sleeve, you’d think they were nuts, too.

“Make America smart again”, says the dolt who can’t be bothered to read and comprehend.

You’re the one willfully twisting what I said. Not only am I not being or endorsing “belligerence” about it, I believe I specifically spoke against it, at length! It’s about classifying the behavior rationally rather than in ignorance.

You’re talking about two different things: speaking within earshot, and speaking the lingua franca of the community you’re in (assuming it’s not a tourist scenario).  If you don’t want to be overheard, don’t have the conversation in public.  Eavesdropping or some imaginary, perceived claim on listening in has nothing…

It’s always going to make people uncomfortable, even ignoring the pervasive racism spreading in this country. First, people speaking in front of you whom you can’t understand always tickles that omnipresent, latent paranoia in humans that they are the subject of the conversation... and it’s not complimentary. Almost…

Says the guy who clearly failed to read my entire post, wherein I mention visitors, tourists, and others at least 3 times.

Because it’s rare.  Spanish is really the only thing you’ll hear on random streetcorners across much, if not all of America, other than English.  It dovetails much better with the scapegoating propaganda that legions of poor non-white people are swarming our borders to come here, bankrupt us via welfare,and then kill…

It only makes sense that if you think assaulting, shooting, running over, and lynching people for their race, nationality, or political leanings is OK, that you should be afraid those people will use violence against you to defend themselves.  But it takes the American Right Wing to get the cops to look the other way…

Visiting relatives. Welp, there couldn’t be a more clear-cut example of “don’t judge because you don’t know everything”, I guess.

Wait,they have a “mob” narrative now?  Jesus Christ, what else can they do to undermine Democracy?  When it’s people voting (or trying to vote), it’s not a mob it’s a Majority, dumbass.  You’re supposed to be a politician.  If anyone should know this... you know what, I’m wasting my breath.  They obviously know this. …

As if peace in the middle east has ever been the goal, from Day 1, in the summer of 1945.  Wringing money out of the oil trade is what’s the goal, and he should be good at that.  There’s just gonna be a lot more death and collateral damage is all.

How is this not monopolistic behavior?  Shouldn’t there be an antitrust lawsuit to make the publisher prove that it’s their decision, with absolutely no input or kickbacks from the big chains that are benefiting from this?

And when commuting costs about the difference in rent / mortgage between one end of it and the other? Don’t forget to factor in the hours of the week you spend driving or sitting on a train, paid at your current hourly rate.

There’s a reason people don’t understand or know the above. And that reason is that 99% of the examples they see in the real world (at least, in the U.S.), are completely wrong as far as the above goes.

Has Pizza Hut redefined a Medium pizza as 5" across yet?  I wouldn’t be surprised.  That should be 10 wings, not 8, and 5 sodas, not 4, you greedy fucks.

I was opening new videos while reading this post, though.  At least, I was for a few minutes.  They can’t cache EVERYTHING...

Try working in a grocery store in a sketchy / poor neighborhood. People (of indeterminate color - human waste is the same regardless of the skin color of who produced it) would routinely rip open diaper packages, change their infants and leave the full diapers on the floor or shelves of the diaper aisle. It was a rare…
