Dear Som,
So question is, is there zero racism at play in the work force across the country? Or, is there racists tendencies across the nation that keep enormous amount of minorities unemployed?The answer is, Absolutely not to both. Which answer is news to you? And, what gave you that impression?
Dear Common,
So, you are saying that if the Jets would have moved to Manhattan, they would have a minority Coach?Dear Gadol,
Who cares what our grandparents ate? Whatever gets a yeshiva bochur to want to eat his own food, is viable.Dear Ben,
You are making a very strong argument fort immigration. Continue with open immigration, and the need and size of the welfare state would be greatly diminished. I agree.The immigration debate starts before the modern liberal entered american politics. Also, immigration was never seen as a partisan issue. Closing the borders coincided with the darkest chapters of US history. Where do you think it it leading us now?
Dear Milhouse,
If someone attacks me for no reason, and the only way I could save myself is with fatal force, I would term that murder.The correct term is killing. Here is why I use them interchangeably.The term applies to animals, so I term it murder based on the act. But from a purely legal perspective, you appear to be correct. Murder has to be premeditated. That is only relevant when the Judge and Jury are deliberating in Court. The question to bring charges is a moral not a legal one. Morally, every intentional killing has to be considered as a possible murder. To do otherwise is to cheapen the value of life. [I know this is not abortion or end of life, so who cares if one person dies or lives.]
How many times have you been with someone who overdosed on fentanyl? You sound very sure of it. Maybe you are an EMT and specialize in Narcan delivery.
Nice list you put together. Maybe a percent of a percent of all police killings this decade.
Dear Gadol,
‘Good’ in the OP does not refer to good health. We would want him to enjoy his cholent. Also, rabbit starvation.Dear Chash,
To think someone died of other causes while they were in a chokehold (while possible) is entirely unreasonable.I have been with people dying from cancer and organ failure. No comparison to a violent death. I have friends that had nearly fatal drug overdoses. He should have had symptoms before he was arrested.
When there is a fatal DUI, is it reasonable to suggest the death was over consumption of alcohol?
Dear Som,
I am not sure what you are misunderstanding here. I am not asserting that there is racism. Just pointing out what the discussion is about.Dear One,
Some countries have open immigration. The US had until 1882. Why would immigration (legal, illegal, child, asylum seeker, or UFO) be a problem?Dear Chash,
I pointed out on a different thread that George Floyd was claustrophobic already in the car.
I was replying to a poster that typed, “the world would have realized that George Floyd was not murdered.”
Tell me, do you think he would have died without the cop’s knee on his neck?
Dear Syag,
This is the present. It is happening as we type. I wonder why you have such a hard time with this point. Trump’s campaigns leaned heavily on streamlining an obese government.Dear Som,
The question of institutional racism, would only pertain to certain institutions. Nobody is accusing the NBA of discrimination. Where did you get the idea that to be part of the discussion it has to be across the country?Dear Bais,
I pointed this out on one of the conversations here. George Floyd was murdered. Not sure why being intoxicated is license to be killed.Dear Communism,
MeToo started in 2006. It gained steam as an anti Hollywood movement in 2017. Trump decided it was aimed at him. Very guilty conscience? Comforting to see that he has one.There is a parallel movement to MeToo that is specific for religious settings. That destroys your theory.
If G-d is such a factor for Republicans why do we vote for Mconnell, Moore, Trump, Nolan, Shortey, Greitens, Hastert, and Jordan? Which Republican is useful as a national role model? [Not even ten years ago, we could have given a long list.] The party of G-d has a pact with the devil.
America is far less atheistic than Europe. And, more religious beliefs are on the rise. How many Democrats can you name as atheists?
Dear Coffee,
Good one.Dear One,
Who cares?Dear Syag,
This will go down in history as the Trump pandemic. There was no coordinated federal response. This crises does not line up with The President’s strengths. I do not blame his poor handling. But the break down of our national and federal institutions, is a major theme of this administration. And for better or for worse, (At this point, the terrible.) his name will be associated with this pandemic. Much like President Hoover with the Great Depression.Dear Huju,
Your welcome!NFAC is the acronym for a black militia that may formed about five years ago. the ‘C’ stands for Clan. The ‘NFA’ does not reveal anything about the group. And is better not spelled out.
The USA stood as a beacon for open immigration for centuries. I consider immigration to be the main builder of the US into a world power.
Dear Anonymous,
Trump defended an anti Muslim stance during his 2016 campaign. He will not come out and say he is anti Muslim, that would be dumb and pointless. One thing he is not, is out of touch. By the way, I do not fault him for being anti-Muslim. Almost everyone above seventy is. (Except Muslims. And those who thought hard about it,)Dear Som,
It is institutional at the place where he is applying for a job. It is systemic when that is practiced across the industry.I was not thinking that way. But it is the same answer.
NFAC A black militia.
PNW Pacific northwest.
HPN Huey P Newton. A co founder of the Black Panthers.
HNCG Huey Newton Gun Club.Dear Anonymous,
The reason is because of an investigation into campaign finance violations. The current probe (state level) involves falsifying business records. I am not sure what you are laughing about. The backstory happened in broad daylight. Hence, Trump’s lawyer’s fifth avenue reference.Dear Reb Eliezer,
The Yerushalmi is about the meaning of the Luchos. The Bavli is on Moshe’s reasoning.Dear Health,
Not a law. Just party policy.On the birther and other stuff……………………
A lot of people cared. And they cared way too much. By the time the Republicans got down to creating a new political platform, Obama was in his second term.Dear Geula,
There is a thread with 44 posts about the data and why it is incomplete. Life stories are not data.Dear Som,
They are the same for this conversation. See the first responses above.Dear Resident,
In the real world there are many more intellectuals. Most of them do not appear in public discourse.According to the analytical research, Mr. Biden tracks in the 70-80% on all liberal trends. Which is about as moderate as one can be.
Interesting that he refers to himself a a liberal advocate. Well, he could use the OP as a reference.
Dear Som,
Mr. Biden had the same trouble with his way of talking, forty years ago.Dear One,
Immigration is as American as one can be. I’m not sure why pro-immigration is a detriment. As Jews we can appreciate it. The pandemic will significantly reduce America’s global influence. Not everything is because of who is president.Maybe the major parties could require a candidate to release his tax returns as a condition to run. It would have saved the Republicans a lot of trouble.
Dear Anonymous,
Did I miss something? The court ruled that the president is not above the law. Nothing changed for you and me.I find the great outdoors to be whispering to me in a comforting way. The nighttime skies are awesome. (Even in the city. Find a secluded spot at 3 AM.) Seeing Tropical Storm Bill up close was awe inspiring to say the least.
What has came to the front in recent months, is a lot of institution just did not hire certain qualified people. Not a policy, just a habit. There are businesses that are mostly minorities at the bottom with very little minorities higher up.
Dear Common,
Which fields? At what level?Dear Som,
You are describing Socialism. I agree that it is worth being bigoted so as not to be a socialist. Most Americans, and virtually all Jews disagree with me. Oh well.Dear Health,
The Oaths, Sheriffs, Boogaloos, and 3 percenters, all have their own definition of basic laws that run contrary to The Judicial System. I assume you meant that. [The Boogaloo Bouis’ stated goal is to incite a second civil war, but that is a nitpick.]This group has no clear ideology, and seems very disciplined and patient. We could only guess at their purpose. But they seem to be able to hold their ground better than all the black militias of the recent past.
Dear Amil,
Where did you come across a connection between this group and the HPN gun club?Dear Common,
The sky has not fallen every time someone mentions that the virus is not yet eradicated. So, why do you come out with a whole protect our sky campaign every time?It has to be given before the onset of symptoms….
It could still be pursued for next summer.
Dear Avi,
True.A slave can buy his freedom whenever he wants. He can also be bought and sold. And a prisoner can attempt to escape whenever he wants.
Though they will not always get what they want. Even the employee.
Dear Ahud,
Trump is the Greatest President in America. We only have one president at a time in the USA. You don’t have to talk him.Dear Resident,
In the real world there are scientists who study these things for years and years. They do not care about presidents, media, or public opinion.Dear A,
Identifying with a certain group is just as meaningless as a levush. That was the point of saying it is pointless.Dear 29,
Appreciated!Dear Common,
Other than very close friends, I would not give shidduch advice at any stage in my life. Not my thing. My posts here have revolved around the definition of ‘long-term learner’, and filtered versus unfiltered internet. To be clear, I was told by from a wise and knowing source not to take any advice from online commentators.Dear Ymribiat,
1) Right or left is very relevant when putting on shoes.
2) Google, “Solid South”.
3) ‘Liberal’ and ‘law and order’ are not antonyms.
