I always used Memorial Day as our kitties' birthdays.

That shouldn't matter. I bet they drive Ford trucks, too. And drink Budweiser. Should we also demand those brands be abolished because some goober neo-nazis are seen with them? I sympathize with Kaep, but this time he's full of shit and Nike are wussing out.

They would have to go buy new to do that again. 

Should not, not shall not. There is a big difference there. A difference any two bit Sears attorney could drive the Space Shuttle through. Besides, it’s not like Nike was making shoes out of flags.

As someone who defends HOAs and the reason for their existence, this is extreme.

I realize Trump is no JFK, but the last time we lost a President this way, we drove the half dollar out of circulation. 

I call it “Halftime.” Kind of like New Years, a time to rehash what happened in the last six months. Your side is losing. Time for a beer run.

Ask anyone who was around Louisville in the 1970s when this was going on. It was highly disruptive, not to mention expensive, and it accomplished nothing. You can’t just shuffle the kids around the city, not do anything else with the schools themselves, and expect improvement.

Yes, let me slide so much as a millimeter over the foul line, and I get zero pins for that ball.

I think I would have waited for the cement to dry before throwing it. 

Attribution, or STFU. This, and all you fucking nazis need to GTFO. No tolerance for intolerance. 

My son the millennial canceled Facebook before I did. I think he'll be OK.

We saved the world in '45, and made a lot of progress since then. That's the America I believe in.  So yeah, we're at least supposed to be better than that. We're certainly capable of being better than that. Eyes on the prize folks. 

They can also fuck you up unintentionally, and without you even realizing it. You suddenly notice your scratched up arms and legs and wonder when that happened.

Actually, that quote about religion is attributed to Karl Marx.

Wtl;dr. See Orwell’s commentary in 1984 about the nature of revolutions.

That is, until the ownership class cocks things up enough that their own power is diminished
