Honestly, we were happy he left haha. Collectively, the family has hosted 5 or 6 students and he was the worst. We had a similar experience with an exchange student in the 1990s from the Ota section of Tokyo. She decided not to come back for her second year and we never knew why until we found out she stayed with…

Yep, traditional American Family. My aunt is a teacher at a prestigous boys school north of DC for nearly 30 years; lives in a very nice townhouse in Silver Spring; husband was (he passed away) a retired Navy Seal; she had a teenage son who was also going to the school; she had a Master’s Degree in Education ; overall…
Another story:
Many of my family members have had exchange students over the last 20 years. Most recently, one of my Aunt’s hosted two Chinese exchange students; one from Hong Kong, and one from the Mainland. The mainland student was rude, talked down to us, was super unappreciative, and overall a dick. I should…
I lived in South Korea and Japan, and traveled extensively for work to Thailand, Malaysia, and a few times to India and Hong Kong.
I see what you tried to do but then I just watched the 4th Season and NOPE.
I became salty as fuck when they made the drone changes so I couldn’t use 10 drones on my arbitrator anymore. Then I got made when they nerfed Nanos so my nanophoon wouldn’t work. Then when they made the capital ship range and fatigue changes. Still playing though... 12 years and counting :)
The 1990s TV show; Homicide: Life on the Street, tackles this early on with some great dialogue especially in the episode “3 Men And Adena”. There is a storyline of a young black girl being found murdered and throughout the season they investigate many things with some people sexualizing her, and Andrea Braugher…
Well, to her credit, she’s used her wealth to help foster the arts and has raised some on the surface good kids. Her daughter is married to a black man and they are all NYC socialites. She appeared on the cover of major NYC magazines with her bi-racial grand children along with spoke out publicly on AIDS and other…
If she sells the painting for charity, she can use it as a tax write off. She’s donating it to charity who then sells it, and likely she’s on the board as well. Art is a common way for the rich to shelter funds and/or make donations and investments that aren’t easily taxable.
I missed the part where the OP revealed his political ideology. In that same manner one could assume you’re a liberal too since you didn’t identify your own ideology.
And how do you know they haven’t talked to the family or are using their network to help provide legal support? I’m seriously asking because as I’m sure you know, the NAACP does more than march in the streets and sometimes their work is more behind the scenes in connecting the dots, raising funds, and supporting…
Ahhh my hometown in the news again. The place I left so many times but always ended up coming back too... Well at least to finish school. I’m not really surprised as the city cops are terrible and a lot of Sheriff deputies are even worse.
Got to my first duty station and was there for less than 3 weeks. I came in with 5 other people who were in my class at AIT. Random piss test, and two of my fellow classmates popped hot. One, a nice country boy, white, who was mediocre at PT, and looked like a soup sandwich in his uniform. Two, black troop from…
They’ve already been doing that for years. China, in a very calculating move, has been bumping billions into Africa for development, infrastructure, business, travel, and more with some areas actually teaching their kids Chinese along with English so they can get jobs in Chines mines, factories or travel to China. http…
They normally don’t really go on a PR campaign. It’s the locals that draw attention to it unless it CAIR which is all about PR. A lot of mosques low key raise funds all the time and donate them to local initiatives and families but don’t call press conferences for it.
It’s a fact. It’s because most liberals aren’t really allies and only can engage when it affects them or engages someone that looks like them... References: Viola Liuzzo, Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, the lack of support for DC Missing Girls and much more. With that being said, these men are heroes for getting…
Different on a few levels. First, that statue was removed only in Firdor square and the dude who started taking it down regrets doing it. Saddam’s face and statues were still all over his palaces and everywhere so it was only the large single statue that was torn down.
Over time you’d see some Iraqis destroying murals…
I had a discussion with someone the other day and it went like this:
Friend: “taking down the statues is erasing history. Our kids in the future won’t know the history or story of what happened.
Me: “do you know who Adolf Hitler is? Do you know who Pol Pot is? How do you if there are no statues of them everywhere?…
I wish the NBPP would go away. They are dishonoring the memory and the work of the BPP.
