How many Canadians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

I think you are missing exactly what I said. Regardless, I’ll play along. Before I salvage my commenting privileges, let me first say that finding where you have criticized Dwane Casey is most difficult because 90% of your posts are bitter political commentary. However, as I was browsing through your posts, I was…

Coming from a 37 year old with a comfortable job who makes too much for down payment assistance but not enough to make reasonable headway toward accumulating $20,000 in dormant wealth, this is absolutely true.

The phrase wasn’t originated in racist tones though. It actually is used as a replacement for swearing, and that’s how it originated. Just because something originated in the south while slaves were there doesn’t make it racist. If I (I’m Latino) say a black guy “looks blue” is that “racially charged” because the…

He doesn’t even need to apologize. It’s not racist. White people claiming things are racist doesn’t make them racist. If they want to talk to him and ask him not to say it again, fine. But he owes no one an apology. This blog post is more of a story than it should be.

This isn’t really hating on black people at all. It’s a group of girls having fun singing along to a popular song.

Because they’re trained not too. They are trained that their lives are more important than anyone else’s and when in doubt, shoot first.

I always thought the idea with this stuff is to get people off their rocket, test their ‘mental toughness’ etc to see how they’d react to proverbial national scrutiny?

So would you say if you see an opponent hurt in a sporting event, but the officials do not stop play, you should just stop on your own? It seems to me like it wasn’t anyone’s fault he got hurt. How is continuing to compete when play has not been stopped being an asshole?

Ugh, Gwen, the wannabe thieves didn’t steal the rug, they peed on it.

Whatever happened to “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me”?

I realize that few people start out their lives aiming to become a villain, it happens by degrees. You go to law school thinking you’ll be the next Atticus Finch defending the defenseless. You face the reality that you have to work for a big law firm to pay your bills. You wind up representing people who can pay…

American Lament:

It depends on who you ask.

Convicted is the key word here.

but this kneeling is only slightly related to the original kneeling. There was kneeling about police brutality, then about doing it to prove it could be done, and now it’s becoming a way to protest an idiot owner. We’re creeping closer and closer to the kneeling-cause-of-the-week.

Does that matter?

I’m not defending sexual harassment - if you have to still say that - but this idea that you have to call out every single guy that’s ever done anything sleazy is a slippery slope.

[Is it just me, or has social media in general focused more on making sure women and POC are taken to task over “not denouncing” this? Why single Miranda out of that long list?]

Secession is considered illegal here as well. If Texas or California tried to actually secede, there would be tanks in the streets.
