Yeah, Primerica when I was in college. I was working in retail at the time, and a coworker was involved and offered to get me an interview with his boss. I didn't much about MLMs so I agreed. It ended up being in a coffee shop, and there was literally no interview. Within 5 minutes, he started trying to get me to sign forms and pay for whatever exams are necessary to sell their crap. It seemed really shady and I left and never called the guy back. The guy himself was also bullshitting me a lot about how when was in college, he also played college hockey and work 2 full time jobs and other bullshit like that.

It's clear that Rian hated the character of Luke (along with a lot of other things about the OT). Can't have a 16 second scene like this, it might make Luke more likeable and sympathetic to the audience.

Im a liberal. No idea what liberal vs conservative has to do with this, but no way in hell am I letting a random stranger in my house. I can just walk into the back yard and grab it

I wouldn't even do that. There's a good chance they could have a third person waiting by the back door, ready to ambush you as soon as you step outside.

Best to just tell them to get lost and to report the incident to the police.

Because they're apprehending you for breaking the law, so you're the one that's in the wrong. It would be like if someone broke into your home brandishing a firearm, so you pulled out yours and they shot you, they can't claim self defense. And when cops actually do use unnecessary force, the police departments and legal system deal with them swiftly and harshly.

Technically in this version he gets to the lobby faster without Trump's help

But now there's no explanation for how he was able to find the lobby. We're just supposed to assume that he walked into the hotel and somehow figured it out on his own.

The scene was essential to the story. There were plenty of other scenes they could have chosen. But, purely out of pettiness and spite towards Trump, they made the movie confusing for first time viewers by introducing a giant plot hole where now Kevin somehow ends up in the hotel lobby with no rational explanation.

I know what Error was trying to do here, but this was a mistake. GameFAQs adopted a policy where it was ok to post something about someones real life if they themselves already posted it. Thats why half of CE wasnt banned in every Dawkins/XSquader thread. But that now means Errors picture is fair game, even to make fun of it. Remember all those Dawkins pictures we edited of him head butting deceptions? Mods let that go because we edited pictures Dawkins himself posted. By those same rules its now ok to make fun of and edit Errors photos.

Somehow, you seem to be under the impression that moderators follow site policies and moderate fairly/consistently.

The death percentage of Norway's total population that died when Anders Breivik blew up a government building and gunned down 80 or so people was higher than then percentage of the US population that died on 9/11. All this means is that smaller incidents will have larger statistical significance in a smaller population group.

And? Mass shootings are statistically rare.

They're statistically rare in Norway and staitically in the United States. A higher raw number of statistically rate events will occur in a country of 300 million versus a country of 5 million.

Here's the thing. At the time TLJ came out, people were under the misconception that the movie was for general audiences. Therefore everyone went to see it and a lot of people were disappointed and gave it bad reviews. The critics knew that it was a bad film and had to pretend to like it to balance out the negative audience scores. Fast forward two years later. There are no longer any misconceptions. We all know that the Star Wars movies are now for SJWs instead of a general audience. Since only the SJWs are in the audience, of course the audience score will be high enough that critics no longer have to make up for it.

It's really an interesting question, tbh. Jesus gave us Christianty, but Trump perfected it. It's like comparing Karl Benz to Henry Ford. Hard to say, but at the end of the day I think I'd have to go with Trump on this one.

He committed third-degree arson which is normally an aggravated misdemeanor.

https://www.iowacrimelawyer.com/criminal-defense/crimes-of-violence/arson/

But because his third-degree arson was "in vilation of individual right - hate crime", that made the punishment worse:

https://www.police.iastate.edu/hate-crimes/

When committed against a person or a persons property because of the persons race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability status, or the persons association with a person of a certain race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability. Iowa Code 729A Violation of Individual Rights.

In Iowa, a hate crime is considered a penalty enhancement, which means a person convicted of one of the above enumerated crimes would receive a sentence one degree higher than it would be for the same crime without a bias or hate component.

His sentence was harsher than it would have been if it wasn't a rainbow flag.

The same Iowa law that gave him a penalty enhancement because the flag was a rainbow flag also applies to political affiliation. So, would you be accepting of a penalty enhancement if someone burned a Trump sign?

Well no i just mean that the whole "OH SO YOU CAN BURN AN AMERICAN FLAG BUT NOT THIS ONE THATS BULL SHIT" argument...It wasn't just "burning a flag" that got him in trouble. Aside from the stolen property and arson its a hate speech issue, which he acted on, and that hate speech wasn't general. he didn't just buy a flag at Target and go to the middle of town and burn it. he targeted a specific club and be extension, those who attend that club or visit that building. Again, if you think 15 years is too much for that, that's a whole different discussion about how our court system works around the country. but he didn't get 15 years "just for burning a flag".

Here is Iowa's hate crime code.

https://oneiowa.org/laws/hate-crime-laws/

Hate crimes are defined as crimes committed against a person of their property because of the persons race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability, or the persons association with a person of a certain race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability.

Political affiliation is protected. Would you be accepting of a similarly harsh sentence for someone who stole Trump2020 sign from someone's yard and burned it?

That's a ridiculously high sentence. He stole property of low monetary value and burned it which he should get some punishment for. He shouldn't get an additionally 15 years tacked on because people are offended by his speech.

The idea of directly distributing commodities brings us right back to why if we have to have SNAP (etc), it should be no-strings cash - because it can be converted into such anyway.

Give a guy a $5 block of government cheese, and he can sell it for $2.50 and starve anyway. The only real beneficiary is the dude who got sketchy half-price groceries, and maybe also a liquor store or something.
Give the guy $5, and maybe he'll have some left over after going to the liquor store. If he still manages to starve anyway, that's on him - we already did our part, and heavy-handed paternalism about it all only makes us feel better with no real benefit to whoever we're supposedly helping.

True that they could still sell the food, but it would be harder to unload compared being able to use an EBT card which gives the choice of many items. And I suggested earlier just providing some sort of complete nutrient bar and/or drink powder and just distributing those. A single product that provides all the vitamins/minerals someone needs. It would streamline production, it would be better than a lot of the cheap processed foods, it would require no prep, and it would be something that would be fairly difficult to sell for cash which would reduce the currently rampant levels of fraud.

No, they just shouldn't be rewarded for it.

People who are poor are perfectly capable of bettering their own situation. I'm fine with temporary aid that provides them with the basics so that they don't starve. What I will never support is letting them feast like kings at the taxpayers' expense.
