Thank you for the list of options. However, please avoid using share.google.com links if you can! Less information they can collect from random web traffic, the better.

Absolutely! And that's why I won't give up hope.

Honestly having grown up in the 80s I feel that racism is tolerated a lot less today.

I don't know about that. I think we were only starting to make progress, and the push back from the racists is a big part of where Trump came from.

To live in a society that grants you that right is a privilege. So, no, the headline is correct.

Your reply kinda reminds me of Thirteenth Floor.

American citizens are inundated with propaganda. In fact, we always have been. The voters are given plenty of involuntary help to make sure they make the right decision.

Don't get me wrong, the willful ignorance is infuriating. But focusing on that won't do ~~anything~~ much to address the root issues, I'm afraid.

Edit: changed a word

This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of "our proper place".

The word fraud is almost always used in a legal context, but technically it's just the noun describing the act, while the word defraud is the verb designating the act of committing fraud.

But, I like your explanation, cause it's stone and concise!

Legally, no. Which of course is the most common way to interpret that word.

Did he defraud the dealership? Absolutely! And frankly, good for him. The market for buying new cars in our country is one of the more exploitative systems that our society has managed to create, and that's saying something.

In a county that received federal funds to construct warning systems, but refused to do so. In fact, as I recall they ended up taking the money and allocating it to the police budget instead.

Rape culture is pervasive in the modern world, but most don't seem willing to have such a dark truth.
