I guess it depends on what you consider minor shit. If your business was vandalized, looted, or burned, would it still be minor shit?
i'm more concerned about angry exes walking in and shooting the place up than i am about being vandalized (like the capitol was on jan 6 by... well, not blm or antifa).
thinking about it a bit... why do people have such and issue with student debt forgiveness. is it taking something away from them? are they against helping people out on general principle? do they not realize that the loans are predatory of that the money that is forgiven will be used to go back into the economy? do they just not want anyone to have a shot at success or happiness? are they just mean? i really don't get the issue. i mean, the politicians against it are all getting rich on lobbyist's donations. which is worse?

I am forever confused as to why there's a $20K loan forgiveness.
Many of my friends worked while attending school and some paid off loan before they graduated. If they can do it, so can others.
The average medical school debt is $202,450, excluding premedical undergraduate and other educational debt. The average medical school graduate owes $250,990 in total student loan debt. 73% of medical school graduates have educational debt. 43% of indebted medical school graduates have premedical educational debt.
from my understanding, studying to become a doctor is pretty much a full time gig, pretty sure i'd want my doctor to have spent his time learning his trade instead of working as a waiter so he can pay off his medical debts. maybe i'm just weird like that.
this is why, btw, we have fewer people going into the medical and healthcare profession in the states. also, my parents were able to afford a house in san francisco. if they could do it, anyone could do it. not like the prices of houses have gone up or anything.

Some people support racial discrimination and some don't. You're one of the ones who do, and I'm one of the ones who don't.
The rest of your post is just attacking me, so ... Meh.
it makes me sad that there are people out there who think like this. and a snow flake who always accuses anyone disagreeing with you as attacking you. congrats on making women on a sex site sad.
Cleo El Gato passed away peacefully this week. In people years she would have been 87 and she's been a constant in my life for the past almost 18 years. my heart hurts like a motherfucker and I just haven't felt like being around lately. Not sure when that will change. For now it is what is is.

The guy in the piece is a convincing Oakland native. Another of Oakland's problems is that some of its natives refuse to admit they made a mistake. Their refusal to admit their policies haven't worked just makes Oakland's people suffer longer.
the population of Oakland - apx 435,000. so, one guy 'picked at random' by Fox News to interview represents all of them? and how do you know they are suffering? spend a lot of time there? friends and family there? just saying, that you're making an ill-informed statement based on a news blurb by FoxNews which was court ordered to admit that they do not actually deliver news but, in fact, deliver opinions. If you want to do some work and gather info from other sources, i might take this more seriously, but right now? sorry.

After Westfield Mall’s parent company said on 12-JUN-23 it would relinquish management of the downtown San Francisco shopping center, Cinemark is permanently closing its movie theater located within the mall.
all the California hate is hilarious. want to get outraged, how about you talk about the fact that, in Flint, Michigan, the drinking water was toxic for 6+ years?

Michelob Ultra is also owned by Anheuser-Busch and tastes less like armpit than Bud light.
yeah, but bud light is the particular beer being boycotted. it's a bit of a statement for us. like Garth Brooks saying he's still serving it in his bar.
so, what you're all saying is making money is more important than doing the right thing. am i getting that right? sorry, started buying Bud (for the first time) when all this shit started going down. Not great beer, but not the worst, and we're saving money by not buying the more pricey ones. win-win.

Lois Banner reportedly said that if she were Black, her professional life would have been easier.
A conference for female historians this weekend was plunged into turmoil when a prominent white academic speaking at the main event said her professional life would have been easier if she were black.
She was identified by attendees of the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians, on social media and in an interview, as USC professor emerita of history Lois Banner, who co-founded the biennial event in the 1970s.
Banner—author of a 2012 biography of Marilyn Monroe—reportedly also said she wished she was a lesbian because they were good at building community and organizing. She did not respond to a request for comment.
yeah, cause in general, black people have much easier lives than white people. the lesbian comment also makes me laugh, you want to build comminuity and organize then get off your lazy ass and do it, dumbass.

Speaking as the Senior Bear in Residence, I've decided that we need to have Pride all year long, as Kis said yesterday.
Accordingly, I asked her if she would be so kind as to apply her considerable artistic talents to an appropriate sign, which I am now ready to post up by the mirror behind the bar.
Thank you, Kistin!
i approve

Of course not! That is why the SCOTUS ruled as it did.
LOL if you really believe that, you're one hell of a naive dude. Clarence Thomas rules as he's told to rule. that's what the right is paying him for. I do have some respect of other members of the court, not all but some, but he is the epitome of what is wrong with our current system.
Quote by Ironic
I say to you what I said to Chryses. A government that forces you to lie or forces you to say what you don't believe in isn't the kind of government America should have.
then maybe we shouldn't have the Supreme Court we have. Feel free to defend Justice Clarence Thomas as best you can. good luck with that.
Quote by Chryses
You are correct; the similarities are the facts In both arrests. The presumed motivation is the speech by Senator Schumer in one and the SCOTUS ruling in the other.
ok, so? i don't remember defending someone. you had asked for exact dates when Felix posted, so i provided them. i really haven't taken any sides. just providing some facts.
Quote by Ironic
So, your recommendation is to lie.
yep. don't tell me you've never done it before. if that's the worst you can say about me, that i occasionally lie, than i consider myself to be a pretty awsome human being. btw, it's called a white lie. it's not causing anyone any harm. he might even suggest they call his buddy Steve who is a devout Christian and would love to do the gig.
