Nope. I'm in Europe alright and grew up with Badu's first album as did everyone who listened to music in the 90s.

So to make that clear, her whole 'crime' was that she was crossing a street on a college campus while not being a car, without harming anyone participating in traffic - car, cyclist or pedestrian - and part of the reason why she crossed said street at that specific place was because she couldn't continue her way on…

I suppose you decided for a burner because you knew that these were the answers you are getting.

How am I 'full of shit' noting that human beings have been given a beautiful planet and proceeded to cause nothing but suffering and also managed to almost destroy said planet exactly?

I honestly recommend therapy.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I spent a lot of time outside as well and love it.

I needed to get on Jez to understand that there is a concept of 'nice guys' and that they are just as dangerous. It's disgusting when you think about it.

Sometimes after I posted on a thread the only comments I can see are that thread.

How long is she on here and is she always that bad?

I have no words for the shame that overcomes me when I know that People like you exist. How are we ever going to achieve a positive future as you seem to wonder too with assholes like you in this world.

Thanks. It still confuses me though. I attended a university with about 40,000 students. I I mentioned to anyone they needed their own police I'd be laughed out of the room. It's fascinating just how different life is in the US compared to elsehwere.

I think you are the one majorly missing just about every point in the entire discussion.

Yes, as someone who worked with and about migrants at the Arizona border and knows quite well what that means I was particulalry confused by her comment to me and what she meant with her border patrol friend being 'badass'. Is she one of the few good ones who tries to make sure people aren't as mistreated as they are?

Thank you.

Am I royal?

But why? It boils down to being from a different country but if I told anybody here a campus had their own police force they would laugh at me. I assume that violence and crime in the US are just at that unimaginable levels for people from other countries that even a campus needs their own police?

Yes, the drop in the level of quality in the posts and then the comment section was remarkable. I never really understood why as it obviously was a conscious decision on their behalf.

It's so weird. How did that happen. I think Jez' entire readership changed dramatically.

Yeah, what happed to that? Honest question, why WAS that a basic premise around here and is no more?

Just because YOU don't know someone doesn't mean they can't have quite the significant position in whatever their field. I know absolutely nothing about basketball but I wouldn't make a comment like that about a basketball player because of that.
