How is the fact that someone doesn't find your constant rants against Monsanto interesting count as censorship on the part of Facebook? Speech suppression?

https://www.change.org/petitions/the-facebook-declaration-of-independence is just cute. They demand changes to a private business, with the very severe threats of "we wont click your links and maybe we'll just go somewhere else". Why would you believe that Zuckerberg cared? Also the comments are gold:

Just saw an Onion article (the one about the McD janitor rant) posted. Cue 103 replies, mostly of bootstrappin' anecdotes. There's some reasonable people, but one of them especially has some awful opinions.



I understand what they had to go through was terrible, and it's great they made it out. However, they take their story as proof that you don't try hard enough if you are poor or ill equipped. Also, the economy will completely collapse with a increase in min wage, even after being linked to actual proof that it won't.

"Your situation is what you make of it, except don't make something of it which I don't approve of!" How is working for a better wage different from pulling yourself together in school? You're doing something to improve your situation, the only real difference being whether it benefits people other than yourself.

To be fair, I think most people believe in Jesus as a historical figure, and a lot of us atheists also believe he had some good ideas that we should follow, such as "don't be a dick" and "people from other cultures are also worthy of your respect".

Yeah, please stop being overly nice to the disabled. It turns out that having everyone go out of their way to attempt to please you feels incredibly patronizing, and odds are that disabled people actually have ways of dealing with problems on their own, including asking for help if they need it.
When I was in New York with my wheelchair-using friend (and a couple of others), he would literally not be allowed to wait in line ever, but would be pushed to the front and given free entrance, preferably by one of the cashiers, which caused further delays for everyone else. The intention is nice, but holy crap does it make you feel useless and (literally) pitiful.

Sorry for ranting.

Ussians is a way better term that should be used. Or just Muricans.

Also when talking about languages, American refers to native American languages, most of which are spoken outside the USA (because genocide).

How about sentences such as "potatoes are from America originally" or" America is several hours ahead of the rest of the world"? In those, referring to the two American continents as "America" makes sense. Just like a Frenchman might refer to a German as a European when he was contrasting him with an African and a Chinese. It's a matter of relevant perspective and meaningful subdivisions.

That is a possible phrasing, but not the only possible phrasing. It's almost like there is more than one way of saying things! I know I wouldn't use "the Americas", but it might be because I'm cisatlanitc (Danish) scum.

People sometimes like things ironically. I for instance like a page called "taxation is theft" despite being a dirty socialist and I've liked several pro-Israel posts (in Danish :( ) in the past couple of days despite believing that Israel should be dismantled.

Sorry I even mentioned Israel. I was using some hyperbole, but I'm also not completely opposed to telling the Israelis to go back to wherever they came from/wanted to go (see: USA and Europe) and thus having Israel dismantled. I do not support a holocaust II.

Please go to D&D to discuss Israel and stop the derail now. Or post funny pictures of people cheering for murderers or whatever.

Without getting into the distinction between herbs and spices (spoiler: they done hosed up), how do you master one? Classes? Written tests? Do you have to climb a remote mountain in South America where a wizened old man calls you grasshopper and eats unimaginable amounts of cayenne?

Eat 100g each day basically. Also, don't put anything in your mouth without adding cayenne. This includes penises and vaginas.

Also, why didn't they add "indigestion" to the list? That seems like a real thing that cayenne could help with.

It's almost as if people don't really understand why people are upset about the Trayvon Martin/Michael Brown shootings. It's not just because an unarmed young man was murdered. It's because there are no repercussion for the perpetrator (aka 'justice'). Every single one of those "WHITE PERSON KILLED BY THUG" is a story where some person is murdered, the criminal is caught, tried, and sentenced. There's no need for outcry because the system did it's loving job. drat.

But they didn't get the death penalty! That's almost the same as innocent!
