You've completely missed the point. I'll break it down. When you break a law, it doesn't magically summon an LEO and judge to catch you in the act and give you the proper penalty, so words in a code is not a deterrent. The de

Rolling through stop signs is illegal, but people do it all the time without penalty. It's not enough to simply make something illegal. You also have to have groups empowered to enforce the law and dole out punishments heavy enough to

When you look at what is happening in Washington, it is disingenuous to say something was blocked because of a procedural issue . It was blocked because the party that controls all three branches of the Federal government didn't want

US conservatives get no benefit of the doubt thanks to years of racism and racist policy. It is clear that they are reactionaries looking to codify white supremacy. However, American culture has moved on (a lot) from that though. For severa

Perhaps it exposed how much of the Matrix was really iterated from Ghost in the Machine, Metropolis, Dark City, Strange Days, John Woo action scenes, etc. It's a talent to recognize good ideas and combine them into a new and fresh stor

Obviously we could have a conversation, it felt like they didn't value it enough to give it their full attention (I don't doubt the music was turned off, though). This says more about you than them. What was the point? To have a

At best, it is missing a verb. This is compounded by it's poor grammar (or poor style) and the fact that it is a non-sequitor to the comment it replied to. Someone can get reasonably lost reading it. ETA: swores mentions this in thei

This is not evidence for what you are saying. Handing down stuff, including clothes doesn't equate to poverty, sometimes the opposite. Better clothes also last longer. Check out the Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness. To take
