@DouxOrly76@mystesarcana@Telegraph Because it's an integral part of Western society that they want to destroy. It doesn't get any deeper than that. White bad brown good.
In the past 72 hours:
1) An Israeli government official has called for the burning of all of Lebanon including Christian communities and churches
2) An Israeli media figure has suggested that the US should receive a 9/11 terror attack
Because they were told "no" once
@chrisabbey99@Nyxalorent@JTGroypin@ayoair So were going to pretend that unreported rates for black women are less than or equal to the rates of white women? Every data set that exists shows black men are signifigantly more violent than white men.
@chrisabbey99@Nyxalorent@JTGroypin@ayoair Have you never in your life actually looked at the data? Do you know know basic arithmetic or what "overrepresentation" means?
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

"Hehe, you wouldn't like the implications of that argument if we applied it in this narrow circumstance and avoided the other more glaring implications"
"Damn Allen, you're kind of an idiot."
