By a coked out rock star (who was upper class to begin with) famous for trashing hotel rooms that low wage women had to clean up.

Mick Jagger was an upper class boy who majored in business at London School of Economics. I always found the fans who thought he was a 'rebel' to be such clueless idiots.

Neil Young

That's a good article that was linked on here before.

Interesting.

I think The Wire should be on curriculums. I think it's a shame it's very little known especially outside of the US.

You're welcome, I'm happy such simple words could lighten up your day a little.

especially compared to (sexual) abuse

Yes, I too figured out at one point that the bras rather store them and create shape but they are not actually supporting anything so I decided to go free as well and it feels great.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Stop the nepotism.

She looks like a Romulan!

It is uncharted territory for him. Germans were very successful with eradicating Jewish culture. Most Germans have never met a Jewish person (that they are aware of) and since there was no Jewish community language/cultural aspects never spilled over into mainstream society as it did in the US. Combined with the guilt…

I thought about how the UK and Canada trotted out all their international super stars and then I thought of Russia and couldn't name one Russian pop star. I'm sure there are some but they are exclusive to a Russian audience.

To be fair people working in banks are usually horrid when it comes to any kind of awareness of those things.

I had a Mexican who sold Nazi stuff do a Nazi salute to the two young German women who were yelling at him in shock upon seeing his display. There was no sense of communication between us although in retrospect he must have felt glee at our anger it wasn't that he didn't understand we had a problem with it.

That even made it into one of Thomas King's novels!

Yeah...that's why I pointed out that my 30ish cousin used the term without any reservations just the other day. I, too, thought we wouldn't do that anymore, especially not the younger people. Guess what, they still do and don't see what's wrong with it. Said cousin is an academic btw.

It always astounds me when teachers are so ignorant. If you are interested in language it shouldn't be hard to pick up some Yiddish and be aware of the language connection.

I wanted to be angry and I am but....those are stupid hair cuts and I don't know where they are coming from but they are everywhere.
