Or maybe not be surprised anymore?

I mean, theres the tax returns, the so called tape, russia connections (which was just his son talking with a secetary), Stormy, and now, people going aha, putin wanted trump to win.

When Trump initially won, it was supposedly so obvious that it was because of Russia. Now a year and a half later, there's still no evidence of this being true. It's possible but those saying that it's true without a shred of evidence are mentally retarded.

If it was so obvious in 2016, how come there hasn't been a shred of evidence found yet?

yeah the only shit thats obvious is the info that got hacked n leaked but for real itsshit people shouldve know in some isntances

They needed a quick excuse and would “find” (create) the evidence later.

gouvt transparancy is key but i understand the need for security in relation to foreign interests

Well theres a balance between too much or too little

Id appreciate if they didnt record absolutely everything on everyone creating a profile

I've got an annoyance for a radio commercial in my area 'Ever wonder why people in Europe speak so many languages? Maybe it's because they use our lesson course!'

No, it's because they live in nations the size of states, with open travel policies, and neighbors that speak a different language. How about replacing 'why' with 'how', you dolts.

Sorry. Had to complain about it to someone. :p

@RyeNorth you are complaining that an advertisement advertised a product

Almost as important as complaining about people gambling in a casino

He is complaining about them advertising poorly

@Deleted User I own an internet radio station. I absolutely get advertising. The issue I take is the quality of the message. It grates on me because it sets up a premise and sets it's product up as the why, not the how.

Like complaining about how your burger was cooked

Yeah, but with advertising, it's a given that will happen

Using their product as 'WHY' people in Europe generally speak at least two languages is weak.

They cite their product as being a major seller there, sure

but it's far more powerful and accurate to say, 'HOW' do they learn so many languages easilly and effectively? Maybe because they use our lesson course!

The 'WHY' is geopolitical. To someone informed, it's easily dismissed. to someone uninformed, it's potentially giving false information and understanding about geopolitics.

“ STDs in LA county are skyrocketing. Officials think racism and stigma may be to blame” by Soumya Karlamangla on L.A Time Los Angeles Times

Officials in California rejected the theory that their rising STDs are a result of hook up culture and not using condoms. They’ve decided it’s racism, and have a program teaching children to treat dicks like a game of hot potato.

http://archive.today/8GvHK

It's kind of a meta thing.

It's not that the advertisement is an advertisement, that they're trying to sell a product, it's that they missed an opportunity at accuracy for a grandiose angle.

It's that one word swap that gets me. Using the word Why where the word How would be more accurate to their product.

The power of one word in a message.

or how about the fact they made knowingly giving a partner an STD no longer a crime?

also how tf is it racism?!

people choosing to have sex with other people is racism?!

Did they make it no longer a crime

or no longer a felony?

might have been no longer a felony

in their attempt to lower crime by not having anything be illegal

so now instead of these people being in jail, they get a fine and are allowed to go spread STDs intentionally all day long

Its a misdemenor now

So its still a crime, just not so serious

I liked Tim's point the other day, highlighting the conflicting narratives that we should abolish borders, but also Israel is occupying Palestine

i'm sorry but knowingly endangering someones life is felony assault and battery

It's basically equal to acid attacks.

I'd rather die in the street after 10 minutes of suffering than live as an acid attack victim.

well, i guess depends on the STD. Something easily treated with antibiotics and goes away probably shouldn't be a felony.

but the ones that require treatment for life?

how is that not a felony?

How is the cost of that treatment not 100% attributed to the person that caused it?

On the other hand

it can always be turned around

It’s not a felony any more.

thats still not a felony, its just they have to pay for treatment

but if i hit someone so hard with no reason that it caused them to have to permanently change their life style for medical reasons, yeah, i'm going to jail.

I wouldn't make a distiction between the different STDs. You don't know what effect it's going to have in the specific person.

I’m just waiting for super AIDS to evolve out of California.

A strand of AIDS that doesn't respond to treatment.

*shudder*

@angeryer if i punch someone, the difference between a simple battery charge and felony battery charge could depend on where they hit their head

so i would make a distinction on the results

that's cut and dry, though.

You took a swing at someone

they got hit

assault

battery

jail

bye

The difference is, and I don't mean to defend it, I mean to prevent this from backfiring

The AIDS scenario stems from a consentual arrangement

yes, but there is multiple levels of assault and battery

simple battery is a misdemeanor in places

Aggravated is the felony

If I tell you to hit me, and you hit me harder than I expect you to

The question is, what's the actual crime comitted?

It's not assault.

so like i said, know you have an STD, if the result is antibiotics and its gone, civil suit or misdemeanor, you cover medical expense, bang done. Change my life permanently forever? Jail time, good bye.

I'd say it would be something more akin to Fraud.

either way, it shouldn't simply be a misdemeanor

if you spread AIDs or HIV knowingly, you should be in jail

period

Crowder also makes a valid point, if you're not having gay sex with random strangers or sharing needles, your chances of contracting aids go down lower than being killed by a coconut under an oak tree.

In the long run, this policy actually PUNISHES gay people and drug users.

It's pretty damned ironic.

they should be glad they're receiving the gift tbh!

hmmm.... i wonder if the STD rise is more caused by rising drug us than hook up culture. depends on which stds

Just imagine if they made a black person murdering a black person only a misdemeanor to reduce the crime rate

well they made 12 other things like identity theft misdemeanors

recently

Not even people have borders...

STDs did also rise up in the gay community

infectious fags?

Just got off the phone with a Texas radio station. They posted a graphic on their website that was wrong...

My borders my choice?

Let this be a warning to all. That is NOT a Texas Flag.

O

This is a Texas flag.

And THIS is a chilean flag.

L O L

Know the difference; it could save your life.

Had to explain to them that, with the red extending past the white, it's no longer a Texas flag and more resembles a Chilean flag

Woah
