i say poor white because being the 'right kind' of white person is and was tied up with class which is why we've got the pejorative WASPs (white anglo-saxon protestant) because the well off northeasterners tended to stay in a racial clique rather than mixing with the various waves of immigration or natives

lol obama killing anwar al-awlaki's teenage son abdulrahman wasn't enough turns out we had to launch that raid into yemen to finish the job

quote:

Eight-year-old Anwar al-Awlaki, the daughter of U.S.-born Yemeni preacher and al Qaeda ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki, was among the children killed in the raid, according to her grandfather. Her father was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011.

Dont have to suffer twitters poo poo and their character limit.

rss feeds are a medium of consumption, not a medium of publishing (after all you could get an rss feed of a bag of news media twitter accounts)

the problem is that news television and websites lag hours or days behind tweets

one of trump's campaign promises was to kill the family of terrorists so what better place to start than with the al-awlakis since obama even got poo poo started by assassinating his son

same raid killed his brother-in-law, as well as the daughter

Socialists claim that while private property (factories, machines) is immoral to own, personal property (toothbrush, shoes) is fine.

This is problematic, though, since pretty much everything can be a mean of production. A toothbrush, which all socialists agree is personal property, can be used to clean toilets, hence it becomes a mean of production. A car which is seen as personal property can be a mean of production (the Uber application, for example). A painting frame can be used as a tray on which food is served. An iPad can be used as a cutting board, which also turns into a mean of production.

A common argument of socialists is that by owning a factory, for example, you deprive the rights of others to own that factory. This argument is missing a critical point: a factory is not naturally occurring, so nobody could have used it prior to it being built - therefore, it does not deprive anyone of rights.

So, what is the most accurate distinction between private property and personal property?

well yeah it is definitely still a fighting game and will have a high skill cap but the amount of times you have to have to react perfectly and the number of options you have to consider within a duel are still within the realm of mortals compared with street fighter/mortal kombat/killer instinct any of the other modern fighting games
