Tighter controls? I’m not sure where you are from, but in my parts, it’s not easy. I went through the trouble and jumped through numerous hoops to build and own my weapon. Fact remains, no matter the laws, criminals will always find a way.

This argument would make a lot more sense if you restricted it to “the Emacipation Proclamation did not free the slaves.” You extend it to “Lincoln did not free the slaves” on the basis of that the 13th Amendment did that, but the 13th would not have passed without Lincoln pushing it.

No idea. My best guess is it’s a small Mexican village. Thousands and thousands of the places exist, and they’re very poorly documented on the internet. Especially the English-language internet. You google “Itzkaloteka” you get a bunch of Spanish-language Youtube videos that seem to be talking about a “pueblo…

She’s an indigenous Mexican whose family moved to the US. Most of those folks don’t actually have a tribal affiliation, or an equivelent of a Dawes Role.

Mexico’s on the continent. Mexico uses indigenous. Her ancestry is Mexican.

She’s American (she’s a citizen), but she’s not descended from the people who were in the States before us white men showed up. Her native ancestry is Mexican, and in Mexico they call those folks Indigenous, so Indigenous does make sense.

No, it isn’t. Not when he was not reported having a weapon. I guarantee if his name had been John Smith, he wouldn’t have been shot in the head multiple times.

Not that I’ve heard of.

Oh, you think throttling battery usage in a four year old device that is substantially the same as newer models was due to design issues?

It’s perfect strategy. He does the white boy thing of remaining “true to himself,” and he gets to deride both corporate types and Trump at everyobe else’s funeral.

1) The premise is silly. Politicians are not supposed to be your friend. They’re supposed to be everybody’s friend. If you happen to be in the majority ethnic group/religion/political faction politicians will offer you something that is logically equivalent to friendship, but the second the rest of the majority…

Ethnic Swede here. Never heard of a Swede with anything but -son. The -sen was always how we’d detect Danes.

I thought that was pretty clear hyperbole. But apparently wherever you’re from hyperbole is not a thing that is common.

Well like I said, Grumpy Luke didn’t bother me. I was more put off by plot holes, repeated stupid decision-making by multiple characters that could be totally avoided if they just talked to each other, cheesy acting, cheap sets, and preposterous shit like Leia Poppins, “dropping” bombs in zero gravity, and space…

Be fair. Neilsen is the Danish spelling. Norwegians use Neilson. It’s entirely true that Norwegians would just be Danes with a different set of funy accents if the Swedes hadn’t conquered the damn place in the Napoleonic era. But Kirstjen is clearly one of those annoying “creative” spellings that afflict so many…

Some of them are quite reliable. Angelina Jolie had her boobs replaced with fakes because genetic tests showed her at very high risk for breast cancer.

Also the disposable income to buy the tests plus a love for trying new things.

Because having your face on a movie poster is your job, there are only a couple hundred of films made per year, most of those films have only one or two female roles worth playing (and most of those roles are written for someone who is not your race/height/hair color/bra size/age/etc.), and if you say no Allan’ll just…

Statistically speaking almost all people are descended from Niall Noígíallach. Not only from him, but from everyone who was alive during that time and has surviving descendants. He ruled in roughly 450. That’s 1,350 years. ago. At 30 years a generation that’s 45 generations. If every generation has two surviving kids…

Racism in the States is based on which group white people will pencil you into based entirely on your physical appearance. Racism in Europe doesn’t work quite that way. It’s cultural. Nazi racial theories are notorious for not having anything to do with physical appearence, and then not being sure what to do with…
