He is correct in that Sears used to be a much better company than it is now. To try and suggest that 'sales guy at Sears' was ever more than 'a nice, but averge paying job' is ridiculous and they both know it.

Yeah I mean imagine arguing at any point a retail job is not average. It may be better than modern retail jobs but that says more about now than then.

The cost of college alone is enough to place the 70s way way ahead of modern times. Slam out a degree that you pay off (sometimes in full) with a part time job. Get a great job, move wherever you want to go, and enjoy a cheap, spacious, and conveniently located home. Now you're forced to go where the job is and if its located somewhere like San Francisco, Seattle, New York, etc you better enjoy renting at exorbitant prices since you'll never get a home loan with those student debts. There's so many vectors and markets that were better back then that its loving absurd to argue otherwise.

Yeah the tech boom actually destroyed a lot of costal cities and that didn’t become a thing until the 90s

Who else speculated on it that hasn't been cited yet? I can find no instance of it even being mentioned outside of this specific conflict, and there's nothing to indicate that these attempts were actually successful, or that conscious biological warfare in the Americas ever resulted in something that could be reasonably termed a genocide. It's such a weird thing to focus on when there were so many well-documented and recurrent atrocities committed by Europeans that did result in a heightened mortality rate for Native Americans.

It doesn't mean the ad is appropriate, it's still disrespectful and it never should have been approved.

I think it’s weirder to pull a pointless semantics game IMO.

Hey, I agree with you in that the treatment of the Natives for the past 400 years, and still going, has been terrible.


But right now? Right here?
I don't really care. Best I can do is hope the politicians I vote for maybe do something about it?

The only Native I have ever met was a guy who was loving (and later married) his daughter and is now serving a life sentence.

I had them in some college classes a loong time ago, and then about 3 years ago, I bought a storage unit at auction that ended up having belonged them.
Brought her back some "family" photos....then later she had to make it weird by trying to friend me on facebook.

My understanding is that, as a considered and systematic form of bigotry, it's developed independently again and again in a bunch of Christian and Islamic cultures. Other places are not so systematic.

One possible exception is various Vedic religions. But it's still hard to unwrangle the effects of colonialism and stuff there

That’s how it basically was in China, large scale homophobia only really started appearing with the introduction of Christianity. Before it was an accepted position though with the restrictions you would expect

curious choice for a username.

Mostly in Europe.

I doubt many American ones even know about Tours though maybe a few.

Though Muslims aren’t exactly the main focus of American nationalists nowadays.

Tours is pretty funny in that it’s a battle neither side cared all that much about, despite its historical significance.

Kind of like the Muslims versus the Chinese in Central Asia.
