No, it’s barely double what it was 20 years ago. I paid $1.10-1.25/gallon in 1998, the first year I lived on my own and had to fill a tank. I never put a whole $20 in the tank. That was back when people mostly still paid cash for their gas.

the price of gas was $1.51 in 2000, adjusted for inflation. Do you know a a lot of places selling six dollar gas?

True. It redistributes anything that isn’t nailed down to foreign countries and makes everyone poorer in the near term outlook.

I said “I am not offended. Some black people may be.”

Yeah, but sometimes it’s just singing ya know?

An idiot? No. Presumptuous? A tad.

“knew what they were doing.... singing along to a song they enjoy*” fixed it for you. and yes they tried to hide it cuz they knew they’d get dragged for no reason and wanted to prevent it.

No, I think it was stupid, just that your comparison is more stupid because one is a thing people do on a daily basis (singing along to music) and the other is something I’ve never seen done ever beyond theater and sketch productions.

lol you want to ruin their lives cuz they had the audacity to sing along to some rap lyrics? you’re a fucking psychopath, get the fuck off the internet.

Do you act out scenes from movies ever (except the occasional comedy one liner)? Not unless you are a theater actor. Is singing along to a song something pretty much everyone does? Yes. To compare them is ludicrous. Not that they should be singing along, but the comparison might make you more dumb than them.

So, uh, is there a reason why you’re assuming that John SUNG is white?

But this isn’t about the video

Man, user name checks out.

That’s because the title implies that is what they were doing. While I wouldn’t do it, singing along to a popular song is about the least offensive way to say something potentially offensive.

I think it would be fair to mention that Sterling had a gun, had been waving it around, and was possibly on drugs. If those things are true! If not, they should be exposed as lies.

That’s because what she did doesn’t actually hurt anyone, but her. Unless you are implying the tyranny of being black in America is white teens buying your music and singing along to it.

So the police are racist because they are white and shot a black suspect who was allegedly reaching for a gun? Would it be racist if black cops shoot him? Would you label your article: “black cops walk free”

It’s pretty stupid to sing this. It’s pretty stupid to record it and post it online. But as stupid as these kids were, I find it hard to believe that they’re malicious. I’ve never heard this song before, because I’ve crossed into Old Man territory, but these are, in fact, lyrics in the song. That doesn’t excuse it,…

There are some of of them.

I love how this same article could be written about HamNo, swapping the excerpts for excerpts from any of his articles, and the names.
