To be fair the US did basically the same over that course of time. Not that the OP isn't being disengenuous.

I appreciate the sacrifice you made on our behalf.

I gave it a listen so you all don’t have to. EWF’s original is an upbeat, joyful song that automatically brings a smile to your face especially when it gets to that high “aaeeeaayy” chorus. It features a small orchestra of very good musicians and vocalists.

Oh no! You will not make me listen to this white nonsense! I will not do it and I’m still declaring this to be trash. You don’t have to listen to the snake herself to know this is garbage. What’s next? Will we have her potato salad foisted on us too? No ma’am!

Just another totalitarian regime using sports to sugarcoat their atrocities. Zaire and The Philippines come to mind when both used Muhammad Ali to mask what they were doing to their own countrymen. I would be hopeful the Saudis would be different but history tells me otherwise.

I’ll give you three stars for this. Not four. Not two, except whilst giving two stars to get to three. Five IS RIGHT OUT! Ok, here’s... one, two, five!

Here’s what playoff hockey in Montreal and Detroit looks like:

Yea, the Round 1 pre-game into looks neat and all, but look what they have planned for the Stanley Cup finals…

This guy called the cops because someone broke his windows. That’s exactly what the police are supposed to be for. He didn’t do a damned thing wrong.

1. He didn’t know Stephon well - only saw him in passing, and

I can really appreciate this perspective from the person who actually called the police. There is clearly a different perspective among civilians here, where you want justice for your broken windows, but not at the risk that your neighbours are murdered. I hope that concern extends to the person who committed the…

Someone commented this on another post (don’t remember which one): for all purposes, in the right-wing pundit’s mind, Hogg should be a conservative teen. He’s upper middle class, lives in Florida and he’s a son of a former FBI agent. Thing is, he isn’t conservative. He’s incredibly eloquent and he’s pointing at all…

There’s a bit of irony in people thinking “ghetto” belongs to the black community.

If that was me getting sentenced for murder —when it was the police who did the shooting— I think I might have let out a “you have to be kidding me” laugh.

VOTE!

How the fuck was my man *supposed* to react? Cry? Beg? Prostrate himself before a highly biased and unabashedly prejudiced judge and justice system? It’s like trying to beg a Terminator for your life; the shit ain’t gonna work. That being said, I really hope the laugh doesn’t mess with his parole/aquittal (fingers…

Yet, under Alabama’s accomplice liability law, Lakeith was not only tried as an adult, but charged in the death of A’Donte, even though it was a cop’s bullet who ended the 16-year-old’s life (the still unnamed officer was found justified in the killing by a grand jury).

This is a complete miscarriage of justice. Where do you start with what is wrong with what has happened here? Lakeith was 15 when this happened. He should not be charged as an adult and not charged for murder. What a ridiculous law. It boggles my mind that no one in the system thought that supporting this kid and…

Right, I might have laughed in disbelief at that bullshit.
