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?

Because disagreeing with somebody is violating their First Amendment rights! Don't you know? Freedom of speech means I can say whatever I want with no consequences whatsoever!

Isn't that Karla Homolka's ex-husband? The couple that raped and murdered their way around Canada, starting with Karla's little sister? The couple about whom a movie so terrible was made that the actors felt abused and traumatized and had to get a restraining order against the director because he clearly got off on the whole thing? So bad that the star, Misha Collins, personally apologized to Bernardo's only surviving victim when the film came out, and urges people not to see it whenever the subject comes up?

someone made a freedom of information act request for anita's police reports about the "death threats", and they don't exist. i don't know if that proves she faked the threats for attention but at the least it proves she never contacted any authorities about it despite saying she did.

Why don't you go whine to reddit about it?

The FOIA applies specifically to the executive branch of the federal government. Guess what police reports don't fall under? And before you say "well, the FBI is under the DOJ which is an executive agency", well, that's true, and the Act has a specific exemption for information compiled for law enforcement purposes, which does not have to be disclosed given certain provisions, including that "the production of such law enforcement records or information ... could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy". I think the entire harassment campaign against Anita falls under that particular clause.

e: Police reports may or may not be available to the public depending on jurisdiction and status of investigation, and in any case they're not gonna just give the records to any schlub who walks in off the street. Normally the names of people involved in an ongoing investigation are not just handed out freely by the police. Anyway this is loving pathetic and a FOIA request is exactly the kind of stupid poo poo a "thinks he's smarter than he actually is" reddit dweeb would think was necessary to find one.

Loving "Цолин Кауффман" there who is clearly some douche who tried to write his name in Cyrillic letters because he thinks it looks cool. It's supposed to say Colin Kauffman, but he's obviously using a QWERTY-based Russian keyboard layout designed for people learning the language, where the C key gets you Ц, which is a TS sound. Nice job, Tsolin.

Also, there's no hard C in Russian. The Cyrillic С is an S. Colin would be written as Колин (Kolin).

Yeah, what Practical Demon said. I can vouch for it directly since I've worked Thanksgiving a lot longer back than two years. The sales, though, is a different thing. But Practical Demon is also right, most of the people who work retail are pretty fine with grabbing the shift. The few people who care about having the day off usually get it pretty easy, and everybody else gets some extra time. It used to be (and this could have changed) that you'd get time and a half for working holidays too, so you'd typically make a bit extra over your normal wages for the trouble.

Where I work we still get time and a half for Sundays and holidays.

This is what my mom believes on cancer so it's great seeing good arguments against it. It's still sad that she doesn't think that they'd come out with a cure for a cancer if they had it because of Big Pharma wanting to keep making money.

But I'm starting to think she might be going a little dumb about doctors in general now. She's got Fibromyalgia and recently went to an acupuncturist. Is acupuncture an actual legitimate thing? It hasn't been really helpful the last times she went either.

It's been studied and most experiments have found insufficient evidence that acupuncture provides anything more than a short-lived placebo effect. Any evidence suggesting it is better than sham acupuncture (basically "fake" acupuncture used as a placebo/control in testing) is inconsistent at best.

I watched that show. I don`t like it one bit, it`s very purpose is to undermine free speech. I for one enjoy living in a democracy which can only survive if people have a safe space to say whatever they want, i would hate to see well-meaning fuckheads enforce self-censorship because that will be the beginning of the end for western democracy.
The ability to say things anonumsly online is a great gift, it has made the world in to a better place. Do you really want to lose all of that just because some people say hurtful and somewhat evil things? Cause today the people who get to point fingers are people you agree with, tomorrow it migth be the other way around. It might be you will be painted as a stupid troll tomorrow, think about that for a moment.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you are free to say whatever you want with complete impunity and suffer no criticism or consequences, it just means the government can't restrict your speech or arrest you for saying something.

Also, self-censorship means thinking before you say something stupid. It's clear you don't believe in that.
