well actually yeah.

nah, just being right.

well it wasn’t just the British to colonize/occupy Africa, it was most of Europe competing for exploitable resources. Some British colonies either imported slaves (Caribbean) or supported the existing social structure (India). The actual country, however had abolished slavery. Any person who set foot in Britain was

I specified *modern* history. Americans are also distinguished in their enslavement of an individual race. In most other instances of slavery throughout history, enslavement was indiscriminate.

deliberately writing untruths, even when they are common phrases, is bad journalism. Also, I am not a crank. I am a free person living in the world casting some serious side eye at the only nation in modern history who gained everything they have on the backs of slaves, while calling themselves the free world. I find

oh for fuck’s sake, the American president is NOT the leader of the free world. He is the leader of America and nothing else. Stop calling him that! That’s just bad journalism.

well, if god created man in his image then we can assume that god is the creator of both good and evil (or as religious folks would say “free will”). They are natural complements and neither can exist without the other. God created evil so that we can have good as well. Anyone who believes that god can take away evil

I totally agree! He has always been an amazing innovator. He’s an arrogant sonofabitch but his music is kind of crazy awesome.

maybe all these people are actually pro gun control but they know the American people are unlikely to change anything and so they have taken it upon themselves to show us the worst case scenario so that people will push the badly needed gun control legislation.

so being a young person with mental illness means your opinions are always invalid? That’s silly. Frankly, her statements make a lot of sense. A celebrity who has a public persona that she doesn’t keep up in private? Shocked. A teenager who is starting to see her mom as a whole person, complete with flaws et al, feels

people are just dumb. I used to work at a kitchen supply store with an excellent return policy. One guy brought in a knife that had been snapped in half. I was going to replace it regardless (I didnt care too much) but I asked him what happened (so I could tell him not to do that again) and he told me that it just

It is 15% in Canada! But (in Ontario at least) the tipped minimum wage is $8 and some change. They even got a raise this week! $.25! Usually people just round up the taxes (13%)

as if any waiter is going to be ballsy enough to just put on a tip. Unless they are into having arguments about their relative usefulnesswith flappy old cunts. The waiter was doing what he was told, there was even a line in their POS, you can’t just add things willynilly to those programs

nobody likes when rich good looking people are nice or happy or sincere. It’s just not fair.

I am right there with ya... Three grey hairs (and one grey eyebrow hair) and it makes me panic. My great g.ma had a full head of white hair which was lovely but it took her forty years to get it. Anyways, I too am afraid to go grey early
