Ah, much better post, where you actually outline your agenda. Your stance appears to be that because others suffered from war, Ukrainians should suffer too, especially if otherwise it means you have expensive gas. Do I have your position ri

Definitions matter for laws. Switching in this context is not yard switching, as that is limited to the yard. It is only for actual trains switching tracks. The railroad often abuses the yard switching with stopped trains blocking intersect

First, 1999 was a generation ago (about 25 years). Priorities are allowed to change in a generation, in this case for the better. Sorry that your first response to drawing a line at bombing schools, bridges, busses in Ukraine is to shout &#

This calls for (not really) malicious compliance. There is a phone number at all train crossings (at least in my state) to call and let them know if there are issues or if a train made you wait too long. The amount of time you can be made t

Isn't organic at this point just substituting synthetic chemicals for ones that happen to be more naturally sourced (and possibly less suitable/targeted and/or more toxic)? It's industrial organic and basically the oppos

As a gen-x-er I agree. I realized this year that in the last 30 years politically, NOT ONE STEP OF PROGRESS HAS HAPPENED. 30 years ago the big political issues were culture wars (Gingrich vs Clinton), row v wade, unaffordable healthcare. Gu

Dude, if you think that is different than any other generation ever well, hopefully when you get older you'll learn about perspective. The 'Greatest Generation's version of the boomers sent them to WW2 to die by

80s checking in. It was way more disillusioned too. They created a whole genre of punk music where the lyrics were basically fuck Thatcher/Reagan for a reason.

This! I too am having to come to terms with being a fellow libertarian cosplayer. It sucks. But at this point I am willing to give up dogma to try and make this country better because whatever is going on now is not working, and is not maki

First, the USA has socialized medicine, but in the most expensive yet most ineffective way, and that is in the ER. American ERs can not legally turn patients away for inability to pay. Anyone that tries to argue against socialized healthcar

What would be really interesting would be for someone to look at all the behind the scenes to make this work. Like I said it took a coordinate effort to keep books at $8 a book and not say $6. This had to happen between the pissas, white bo

Oh no, it's super random what you do and don't have. You have power outlets in your cells. Inmates have CPap machines and oxygen condensers they need to keep them alive. You even have microUSB chargers to charge your MP3 player (

The question I was asked when I got in is men fight and women fuck, which are you? Like I said in another post, PREA has really cut down on prison rape in the Feds, but when you are fresh in, dude, that question does not help to calm you do

Also a lawyer taking these cases is the kiss of death for future cases in a judges court room, which means no future clients will use that lawyer. The judge has all the power, and lawyers can not afford to alienate them. No one ever conside

A country that only allows 14 days to challenge the legality of a sentence ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_35 ) is not responsible enough nor does it provide robust enough legal protections to have a

The Feds do not allow rape any longer. Once you reach your designated facility you are fairly safe from flat out rape. Pressures and coercion exist but just flat out rape as far as I saw was very rare. PREA is taken very seriously.

Sorry this previous post is pretty agressive, my frustration is definitely coming through there and they do not deserve that. I am sure they are well meaning. I wish I could delete it.

BTW major US businesses use Unicor for backend support/logistics. There were guys denied going to lower level facilities (with better privileges, closer to family, etc) because their forced labor was too valuable.

Lot's of reasons. Read the court cases and see why the judges explain it's actually legal to do and see you have no chance of winning. Or read the Prosecution reply briefs where the Prosecutors point out that the convicted felon a

Just for clarity, Ukraine pleaded for the defense pact, we refused it because the other side scared us too much. Sure seems like a playground bully. But yeah, stand by the 'we didn't get involved because then Russia would invade&#
