I agree with this.

People always want more money, then they get it and get used to having it, then they go back to thinking they don't make enough and want more money again.

It can happen to anyone who gets a raise, promotion, or takes a higher paying job than their last one.

If you disagree, you've probably not had any of those.

The scene where Tarantulus runs around on fire was cut in later airings.

There was another scene where Rhinox was firing his Gatling guns and a bunch of shells had accumulated at his feet. That part was cut in the Fox Kids version.

I'm sure there was plenty more, but Fox Kids was notorious for its editing.

Fox Kids probably did a lot of meddling on that show.

I remember Beast Wars was originally syndicated, but then went to Fox Kids after it ended there and was heavily edited.

I guess they bought the rights so that they could air Beast Machines.

Yep. The guys who wrote Beast Machines were told not to watch Beast Wars as Hasbro didnt want Beast Machines to be clogged by past continuity other than the basics.

He had said the NFL protestors cost him sales, which being the NFL sponsor and having the NFL viewership go down makes perfect sense, but everyone said that his blaming the protesters was his way of saying he hated black people so in a conference call he said the colonel Sanders thing.

His business was a sponsor of the NFL, which saw a decline in viewership due to the kneeling thing, which is why they banned it.

Now if I owned a business that lost money because of something I'd be pissed too no matter what it was.

I saw his speech or whatever as a way to try and gain sales, but it backfired simply because he used the N word and nothing else, which is ridiculous.

for myself, rather be out of it.

Well I mean, if you're the type of person who would rather work than be given things, then yeah you'd want out of it.

But many Americans, rich or poor, are lazy and entitled and would rather things be done for them.

When I worked in a high end grocery retail chain (you know the one) we had homeless people outside the store who would return things people bought for them for something else.

It's a different type of hustle, but one that has formed because homeless people aren't idiots, just people who have fallen on hard times and have learned to find ways to benefit themselves.

Now whether that's a real benefit or not is a different discussion.

That's the worst part isn't it? Asians and Europeans don't have the burgers and pizza diet of America, with constant fast food and basically a diet composedf of so much sodium and 3 main things, fats, salts and sugars. Asians, especially the Japanese have a diet almost entirely of seafood, and Europeans literally walk everywhere. They're constantly moving, on bicycles, they don't have the highways+cars that America has, their roads were built before the automobile.

Exactly.

lmfao. its like you separate yourself form black people as a whole. when i say we, im referring to "black people". nothing more, nothing less. the white people on ce see us as black people and refer to us as such. it doesnt matter what each individual black persons experience is, you're still black.

I don't separate myself from black people at all. I know what I look like, I have mirrors in my house.

You used the word "we" when talking about how black people "deal with race on the daily".

I said not to use the word "we" because not every black person deals with race on the daily like you do or like another one does.

That's what I meant, and I even clarified that, but you still went off in the wrong direction.

Less than 1% of black people are injured by police a year. Not much different from the percentage for white men.

I also suggest reading the comments to this article.

As for the assertion that racial bias is a significant factor in police aggression, this "review of the literature" only finds mixed results, with the majority of studies finding no evidence of racial bias.
