SonicMage117 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Yeah, it's actually back to normal now Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone!

ShadySands Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 3 years for saying Polish death camps? The bill will also make it illegal to deny the murder of about 100,000 Poles by units of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) during World War Two, a move likely to increase tensions with neighboring Ukraine.

I like that excuse, let's protect our international reputation by limiting what our own citizens can say not that I agree with any censorship, but most EU states have some hate speech laws, not sure how this one is different I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read.

I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section!

ShadySands Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 And we don't give those countries any credit for limiting their free speech either To say it's to protect their own image is a weak argument Also, is it hate speech to say that some Poles may have sided with the Nazis? That doesn't mean all of Poland is complicit. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21

Zoraptor Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I'm not pro Polish at all- for all their whining about being stabbed in the back they stabbed Lithuania and the Czechs in the back beforehand, unapologetically- but Poland simply did not build death camps. Death Camps means Birkenau or Treblinka type camps which were constructed to specifically kill people, not a concentration or POW camp where people died from neglect, and as bad as that is in itself. You'd have a hard time finding major countries that haven't used concentration/ pow camps with high death rates. And to be fair to Poland you'd go a very long way to find a country that cooperated less with the Nazis than them- maybe Russia proper and Byelorus and that's it. Even the Serbs had incidents with their Cetnik resistances helping Germans. Using the term 'Polish Death Camps' just because the Germans happened to build them at Oswiecim etc would be pretty irksome. I suspect if Germany decided that Guernsey/ Aldenay/ Sark/ Jersey should have death camps instead we would not talk about English Death Camps, for example. Stupid way to tackle the issue though, no doubt about it. 1

Valsuelm Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Jesus. I thought he had some semblance of common sense. There's nothing common about common sense? Playing devil's advocate, I don't think that most folks in Congress (or even the President), tweet their own tweets most of the time. They've got staff to do that for them. And no doubt occasionally that staff ****s up in their eyes. This is also probably true of most high profile folks. Really, most people in power or working on gaining it have more important things to do than spend time tweeting, and most have the means to have others do it for them.

smjjames Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Are we sure this isn't what the GOP want? There is a lot of profit to be made by shorting stocks, dipping the market and buying low. I'm sure there are people who saw this coming and have been offloading for a while now. Some people really love recessions. Most likely there are republicans who are happy about this turn of the events, but members of GOP in congress and Trump have parroted narrative about how stock market growth shows what economy growing under their leadership and for said narrative big stock market drops isn't best turn of the events. Maybe, but the opposition cannot say that stock drop is Trumps fault without acknowledging that the stock rise was his success Nobody's even blaming him in the first place.
Valsuelm Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 L0L LOGIC. Does this to 'protect' international reputation... yet the act of doing this hurts said rep. BRILLIANT. Well... a great many are deluded to think they live in nations that actually have freedom of speech enshrined. Fact is, that a great many places (and the number is sadly growing) that many wouldn't expect, have laws criminalizing various forms of speech, thought, and the spreading of various ideas in any way. Worldwide it's safe to say that the vast majority of nations have such laws, but many aren't aware that many western nations do as well. Example, that should make people think (whether they do or not is an entirely different matter): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_against_Holocaust_denial Laws against 'hate speech' and the like are pure evil, and ironically very arguably expressions of hate themselves.

Trump aside, it's safe to say that some people somewhere are going to blame President X for stock market crashes as much as stock market risings. There isn't a single President in the last few decades that hasn't had such blame place upon them, and by many.
Orogun01 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I have a hard time believing Paul Ryan would tweet that out. That would be tremendously tone deaf. $1.50 a week is a pittance. Mate, if you work on retail or a Supermarket 1.50 is a heck of a raise. They will look for every reason on your performance to not give you a raise and the closer you get to the max hourly rate is less the amounts of a raise. They even stop right before it gets to the limit. 1 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

They will look for every reason on your performance to not give you a raise and the closer you get to the max hourly rate is less the amounts of a raise. They even stop right before it gets to the limit. A ~$6.50/month raise is a pittance by anyone's standards. A $1.50/hour raise is decent by most people's standards, as that works out to about ~$3000/year for a full time employee, vs the $78/year raise $1.50/week gets you. That said, $1.50/week is likely a typo/mistake. An extreme few number of places, if any, are going to give someone a raise that amounts to a few cents an hour. 50 plus years ago a few cent raise would have meant something. In the world in which we now live, not so much. And THAT said. I bought 2 bananas for $.22 tonight. That very well might be the first time since the last millennium that my total at a counter was less than a dollar. 1
