Florida with its Republican supermajority is about to join the gotta provide your ID to do anything Republicans publicly feign indignation over and privately enjoy themselves. So much for less government interference. Hypocrites.

These P25 people are just so…hateful. Carrying all that hate seems like it would not be fun.

I see a lot of other people have responded with examples and argument.

So I’ll disagree and say the argument falls apart when I don’t argue. (Cause it’s Friday. You ain’t got no job. You ain’t got shit to do. I’m gonna get you high today.)

Hmm I see what the dictionaries are saying but (using an example from above) I think argument exists that:

If me and my fellow protestors block a road, we are being non-violent, but we are not being peaceful.

But it’s Friday and no time for argument!

Early to mid 20th century??! Dang, double space was seemingly still very much in fashion even after Y2K. Welp, gotta go yell at some kids on my lawn.

Why so serious citizen?

Remember when Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel? People are kill-informed if they think things get better for the Palestinians under Trump 2.0.

Please use that betting money to sponsor the ACLU so they can sponsor a case.

No phones on in classrooms during class. What parent would not be on board?

Yeah but I don’t think the AG’s office had anything to do with the ruling as it was a civil wrongful death case between private parties, so it makes no sense to bomb AG’s office.

In the US, know that insurance companies hire private investigators to follow and video people making injury claims. Especially higher dollar ones.

This is wonderfully generous; though, it illuminates the outrageous costs of education in the US. We as a society should value education as intrinsically valuable and even if not, a more educated populace is valuable in so many ways, not the least being economically.

Maybe we should be seeing the realities of the world, even the horrors. It’s a lot easier to support things like war if you’ve never witnessed the brutality. This person was making a political statement by setting themself on fire. I imagine they wanted people to see.

Yes, the comment was about the rule of law and nobody being above the law. Sovereign immunity puts certain people above certain laws (i.e. can’t sue the cop that barrels down the street at 75mph in a 25 mph zone and kills a pedestrian. (Or in some states there are damages caps.)) Any regular Joe would not get such immunity. So, we already have asterisks in our rule of law system–where a certain class of people are not subject to the same laws as others–one being sovereign immunity. Corporate protections arguably being another. A corporation can be guilty of a criminal charge but not necessarily the actual people that made the crime happen, which is seemingly absurd. Or you can’t sue corporate execs individually even if it was their personal actions that led to harm to others, as long as it was done within the course and scope of their employment. For example, upper level execs know they are polluting and causing harm to environment/people. You can sue the company, but you’re likely not going to be able to pierce the corporate veil to get to the execs who actually committed the act.

I’ve never known “college town” to be used as a denigration, though sometimes students from big cities who go to school in college towns are eager to return to what those big cities have to offer and perhaps don’t enjoy the college town vibe as much as others.

College towns are great in my opinion. Especially many of the small(ish) towns where large public land grant universities are located. (Penn State/Happy Valley, University of Florida/Gainesville, heck most every SEC school for that matter, Cornell University/Ithaca, etc.) The towns often grow around the universities. The schools bring in events that the towns otherwise would never have (concerts/plays/art exhibits/speakers/etc) not to mention college sports. You have some of the best and brightest, including students, faculty, researchers, doctors, in a confined local area. Education and diversity are valued. The universities are often the biggest employer in town, pay well, and attract lots of companies and people who benefit from the symbiotic relationship. You have people from all different walks of life. And usually the cost of living is reasonable. All in all, usually pretty good places to live.

I don’t know if you’re serious, trolling, joking, or maybe just referring to the anti-depressant, but it made me chuckle.

They know. The point is to be known to the politician to whom the corporation is pitching monetary woo. And conversely to be known to the corporation to whom the politician is too pitching the woo.

This is Polk County, Florida, home of the cowboy sheriff Grady Judd who has never seen a camera and microphone he didn’t want to use to engrandize himself. Except for the body worn ones. Polk County residents are not the most enlightened of people. But, never discount there being two sides to every story.
