No, it doesn't. Look at the contents of the British museum and tell me, by dollar amount, who the biggest thieves are there. It's not the poor.

In the US, the biggest source of theft is time card theft from employers, followed closely by asset forfeiture (cops stealing). Poverty doesn't breed immorality, that's some classist bullshit.

I don't believe that. I believe that simply contributes to the transphobia they are perpetuating. Have you ever spoken to someone like that and used this technique irl? It doesn't work, and they are happy they got you to join in agreement that pronouns are "nonsense" from their PoV

This isn't true and it's classist propaganda. The biggest thieves in this country are the wealthy, via paycheck theft, and then the police, via asset forfeiture.

Coward.

Yes, there are some VERY disturbing adoption systems here. Particularly in the south, the prolife/fake abortion clinics will guilt trip women into giving up their kid for adoption to an agency they work with. That agency ONLY allows Christian families to adopt (often white only) even though they take children from any religious background. These families adopt at around $20,000 per kid or higher. The original birth mom MIGHT get her birth paid for. The adopting parents can choose to back out at any time.

I became aware of this when Cameron Robbins was in the news for being eaten by a shark. He was adopted through one of these agencies. I wondered how his birth mom felt when they decided to cover up his death.

If our government can pay foster families direct sums for keeping their kids, they should just pay it to the bioparents. Yes fostering can have a place at times, but the way it's done here is barbaric and akin to trafficking and slavery.

Spite is more precious than any gold

If it's already charred looking, no one can even tell it's been burned!

Most Mexicans don't speak their native language. Spanish is the language of the people who colonized them and that they altered forced to adopt. It's more accurate to say they speak Spanish imo. Otherwise, that's like saying Cherokee Native Americans, when speaking English, are speaking "Cherokee" just because they may have some slang that other English speakers don't have. And no, they aren't speaking "Cherokee," that language was forcibly removed from their culture just like many native languages were removed by the Spanish and to a lesser extent, the Portuguese.

I'm from tornado alley, now I live near Portland. We had a freak lightning storm a few days ago here, like nothing I've ever experienced. The thunder was so loud I thought we were being bombed by planes. r/Portland had dozens of threads of others confirming how abnormal this storm was. It seemed... fake. Planted. Idk, it was crazy.

What?

This country would have shanty towns like Africa if we allowed people to build and keep them. We dont even give then that dignity here

Afaik Israel has acknowledged that not all Palestinians are associated with Hamas.

Burning the flag is protected speech. Dont want to see it burned? Make the country less shitty

Remember, like in 2006, when they'd board the plane in order? Eg the back of the plan boards first, then the middle, then the front. And no one is trying to push past each other, no one is in each other's way, it's just efficient and easy.

Convert hotels to housing for Palestinian refugees?

You don't have to be smart or charming to beat Trump by a landslide in both categories. He's a stupid rapist. She's got this in the bag.

It's been real

The only way you'll get a candidate that aligns with 100% of your personal beliefs, is if you run for office yourself

That being said, I'd love a real leftwing candidate

In general, I don't think it's "not transphobic" to use transphobic rhetoric. So that includes using fake pronouns including neopronouns and/or misgendering people.

The homeless man understands the actual value of money which is why he felt remorse.
