I don't disagree that the silent majority aren't helping things, but I think racist is the wrong word for it. I guess I use "biased" when it's unintentional, and "racist" when one consciously thinks they are better by virtue of their race and acts and speaks accordingly.

The Swiss aren't corrupt? Were they holding all that Nazi plunder for its original owners?

The only way a lawyer can break confidentiality is if there's a risk that someone is in danger. Maybe, and really this isn't very likely, Garcia could argue that he needs to release anything about the abuses in Qatar in order to save lives there. But he'd probably still lose his law license.

Would you lose your law license and therefore career over it?

No, but he'd be disbarred.

This. He'd lose his law license for sure. And anything in the report probably would never be admissible at trial.

Maybe we're missing one another on the vocabulary. When I say racist asshole, I mean the southern stereotype that walks up to a white guy like me that he's never met and says stuff about "some people", and anyone more openly racist than that. That's not meant to downplay or overlook that every single person, white or…

I think a lot of folks are hoping they can draw the attention of other decent white people. As long as we're the majority in a democracy, getting the attention of white people is kinda politically necessary.

The problem, as I see it, from the "good" white people perspective is that we know 1) there's a very vocal minority of whites that are hateful assholes wherever they get the chance, and 2) there's a gigantic silent majority that are not racist, but aren't even paying attention to injustices. If the "good" white…

...which is insured up to what, $100-200k? Brilliant!

This is the best letter that was ever written.

I'm sure the kids, who were clearly embarrassed to admit they needed $3 love being plastered all over the internet for it. No way anyone is going to give them a hard time about that.

The league has no place policing off field behavior. When they started, they brought all sort of attention to the "due process" they wanted to put in place. Now that they bragged about how well they play court system, damned right the rest of us are going to critique it.

Only if that athlete just literally murdered a guy on tape and expects not to face any consequences. As long as you're referring to whatever they did while playing a child's game, no, it's not quite the same.

You may be surprised, but the very best way not to end up the top comment in this thread is by not making a comment.

It's good shorthand for risk averse stupidity.

Hot take bro.

To be fair, I said "allegedly", and, frankly, the part where he had him killed is more offensive than what he did (or didn't do) with the body. I still have no sympathy for that brutal cunt of a dictator. I don't see any significant difference between films based on killing him and something like Inglorious Basterds.

The same leader had his uncle fed to dogs over some petty bullshit, allegedly. His dad claims to have shot a perfect 18 in a round of golf (or something close to that, I forget the exact details). He and his father are known to be (and have been, respectively) huge fans of Hollywood. Nothing is really outside of…

I never heard about the LifeLock hacks, but I loveeee that it happened. I can't believe he didn't at least use a dummy SSN in the commercials to be safe.
