Little camps for homework. Where you can concentrate.
The case raises questions about executive security,
Of course this is the lesson. Not that everyone hates you, your company, the business, etc. It’s not our actions. We just need security.
I agree. I was challenging OP’s offence to the attitudes expressed.
It’s stereotypical liberalism. One that says we can vocally criticize a private institution but not actually act against it. And we must deplore any actions against that private institution.
Curious for you to explain why you see it as “revenge”?
That term seems to imply that Thompson had caused harm of some sort.
Care to help me understand better?
He could pardon everyone of the dreamers.
2·16 days agoI guess both ‘identity’ and ‘heritage’ are doing a lot of heavy lifting.
And I know this is mostly pedantry, but there’re terms that actually do fit better. Like immigrants, settlers, etc.
My great grandad was from Sicily. I’m from Minnesota. I don’t have any heritage or identity that has much to do with Sicily. I do have heritage as the progeny of immigrants from Sicily. But not Sicily.
But the golden rule presents the flaw of self interests. The golden rule relies on you presuming others want to be treated the same as you.
You shouldn’t treat others as you’d like. You should treat others as they’d like.

But they’re not Irish or Cuban or Italian.
They’re Americans.
I think there’s a big difference between knowing your family’s history and drawing an identity from it.

As far as white/Caucasian Americans, I’d bet money it’s Germanic ancestry.
I recall reading that at one point in the 19th century, 52% of American newspapers were printed in German. And, you still find towns with German names from coast to coast. Anaheim California, Hamburg Minnesota, Berlin New Hampshire.
If you’re near Eastern Indiana, check out Oldenburg.
Just because same sex couples don’t birth kids doesn’t mean we’ll stop trying.

When is this magical time you think when everyone used cash the majority of the time?
Because I’m 45 years old and it wasn’t in my adult life. I’ve had a debt card to my savings/checking since I was 15 years old. And I’ve had credit cards since I was 19.
Half my friends bought their first homes right after the 2007 crash because mortgages were cheaper than rent. I’ve financed 4 vehicles. I currently have a mortgage.
I’ve rarely used cash for anything in my life other than “vice/sin” (drugs, strip clubs) purchases in order to keep them more private.
I don’t think your comment has any truth to it at all. Nobody’s been relying on cash to get them through most of their purchases since cheques became universal in the early 80’s.
