Similarly, money not budgeted by the government for this plan will be spent elsewhere. Either in lower taxes or on more worthy programmes. This seems so simplistic. To the students: you took out a loan. Pay it back. What is so hard about that?

Not sure I agree with shooting, but yeah the police should have been more 'aggressive' in defending the building and ground. Would have been nice to see a few heads cracked with truncheons.

Strange then, that they WON the popular vote in the 2022 mid terms.

Liked the Trump years. Don't want him to run again. Pompeo is my guy! Perhaps with Noem as a running mate.

None were murdered.

...or have prospective students approach financial institutions and make the case as to why they deserve student loans. Show a plan to pay it back, proof of future income, etc. Decide based on merit and not on whim. Costs are increasing at universities for sure. A bit part is that university bureaucracies are exploding. The problem is not teaching staff, it is "support" staff driving the cost.

I am not actually sure what the LGB and T communities have in common. The LGB all need reference to 2 genders in order to make sense. T and the rest of the alphabet soup of identities are the opposite. Just ask a lesbian if she were cool with dating a trans-woman who still had the man-bits attached and a lovely beard. As for Knowles, he wasnt being hateful. He WAS being provocative in the sense of "tired of the hypersexualization of society". In particular the normalizing of unhealthy and what he sees as deviant behaviors that should be treated as mental illness rather than accepted without comment.

Where were these people when there are more than 20 entire countries in the world where abortion is considered a crime under ANY circumstances? Or the dozens that allow it only if the mother's life is in danger? Nah, easier to whine about the US. Even when many, if not most states have laws that are comparable to supposedly "liberal" western Europe.

Yet another cornerstone of the so-called "fake news" falls by the wayside. Remember how the MSM ridiculed and ostracized anyone who dared put this theory forward? Even noted member of the Left Jon Steward was pilloried for daring to contradict the Approved Narrative when he was on the Colbert show. https://news.yahoo.com/dare-jon-stewart-reflects-lab-202138738.html

In other words, they are doing very well. Median income of 90% of overall US average. Also, comparatively few are illegal immigrants. I am not sure your point. Except perhaps to show that racism is not a barrier to success in America.

...or the money actually repaid to the lending institution by the debtor will be available for that institution to lend to OTHER people. Who will then use it for their purposes. Go figure.

Seriously? Someone from Somalia or Nigeria or Ethiopia had it better than African Americans who grew up in the US?

Kind of simple really. To the whining students: "it's a loan. Pay it back". Not too hard. Nobody was forced to take out student loans, nobody but the borrower should be forced to pay them back.

You are referring to the ADOS community of black Americans I take it? Funny how nobody has been able to answer how recent immigrants from Africa are somehow able to outstrip so-called 'native born' African American ADOS people. Perhaps race isn't the issue. As for Adams, I am sure he is getting ready to jump to Substack if he hasn't already.

To quote the great Neil Young, "shoulda been done long ago"...

He was no kind of shooter at all before they attacked him. Other witnesses on the scene described their behavior as aggressive and violent, NOT Rittenhouse. He tried to disengage and de-escalate but was not allowed to by the rioters.

There is no military or police force in the world that trains members to "shoot to injure". That is a fallacy from bad Hollywood movies. Firearms are only to be used if your life is in danger, and then they are to be used to neutralize the threat. Aim for the "centre of visible mass". As for being from outside the community, Grosskreutz drove from farther away than Rittenhouse. So logically he shouldn't have been their either, eh? Ditto Rosenbaum, who was from Texas and had just been released from a mental hospital in far away Milwaukee. Shoulda stayed home too.

Not these two... a net benefit I would say. Again, THEY chose to chase a guy armed with a firearm, THEY were angry that he was spoiling their fun. If THEY had stayed home, they wouldnt have been shot. Or at least if they had protested peacefully.

Same situation in Japan. But to be fair, women in Japan generally control the money anyway. When I see regular (J and J) couples, 95% of the time the woman pays for the shopping, restaurant bill, Etc.

Vietnam has one of the lowest rates of returning travellers in the area. Very few tourists who visit actually want to visit again. They say the traffic, noise, etc are the reasons. Plus for anyone looking to make a longer term visit, there are really no options after your 30 day tourist visa runs out.

Yeah, real clever..... if you can find one person making that argument for you to straw man, feel free to point it out. The protesters were exercising their civil rights (at least until they started causing the $50 million of damage in the town). So was Kyle. He was doing nothing illegal. HE is the victim, not the rioters.

They were certainly racIAL, but not racIST. He didn't say anything about blacks being inferior to whites, or any other group. The survey he was referring to simply showed the sad state of affairs that overattention to minor issues has brought. The US is the least racist it has ever been, and is probably the least racist nation on the planet. Hard to call a country "racist" when a black person has occupied virtually every top job in it. Any other nation G-7 or otherwise that can make the same claim?

Wrong on many levels. But don't let the facts get in the way of your vituperation. First, he drove about 10 miles, not "hundreds". He did not bring his weapon, it was already in Kenosha and it was perfectly legal for him to have it. AR-15s are rarely used in crimes. And the "peaceful protestors" did $50 million of damage to the city. Other than that, feel free.

Thank you for admitting that you were wrong. Blake survived and later was charged with a variety of crimes. And convicted. His shooting was righteous- he had sexually assaulted a former partner and was reaching for a weapon.

We in the "challenged by gravity" community prefer the phrase "person of size". I still remember being referred to as "husky" as a young lad. The wounds linger to this day... things are better though. My two local department stores have "plus size" sections called Mighty Lord and Greatess.
