Volunteering with Refugees
QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) A friend of mine who is volunteer at Sacred Heart mentioned hearing this story from a volunteer which explained why he was there helping. It is the story of Jews trying to escape Nazi Germany aboard the SS St. Louis and being turned away by Cuba and the United States. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27373131 Your friend is very stupid.

Orphans at our door
QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 08:01 PM) For being fooled by a forgery? When have we ever convicted someone of being fooled by the forgery? well, if they are using an illegal workforce they should be arrested and put on trial. if they were really 'fooled' use that as a defense. just like if a drug dealer said they thought they were buying baby powder, but it ended up be cocaine - because they were 'fooled'. OK, maybe you were 'fooled', let the jury decide.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 05:41 PM) I love the US. Think it's on the right track. You actually learn to appreciate the lack of corruption in the US. You may think the US is corrupt, but you have no idea how hard it is to remove corruption when it is actually embedded in a culture (bribes/tax avoidance/etc) As always, bmags with some hilarious sarcasm.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 07:20 AM) The USPS was a once useful business in which progress/technology has surpassed. That's not to say it's not still useful, but it's not needed anywhere near 6, 5 or even 4 days a week anymore. Anyone that claims they trust the USPS to deliver their packages over UPS or FedEX is, IMO, a liar. I have also found the USPS to be the least reliable.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 11, 2014 -> 03:58 PM) She still doesn't seem to understand what that segment was satirizing. Yeah, racial humor is really difficult to do well, especially if you're using some group you're not a part of. Colbert usually does that very well. I wouldn't have a problem with anyone saying that they understand the point he was making, but still were offended with the way he made it. I could see pointing out that using other ethnic stereotypes, even to satirically mock ethnic stereotypes, is more damaging than helpful, e.g. how many people laugh at Colbert mocking how ridiculous Snyder is versus are really laughing at the racist stereotype (Chappell had this problem frequently). But not once does Seuy Park bother to mention what Colbert was actually mocking with his deliberately-over-the-top ethnic stereotyping, Dan Snyder's Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation. Like Colbert pointed out in his lengthy response last week, the #CancelColbert crowd has completely changed the topic from the continuing use of a racial slur for an NFL team's name and then deliberately rubbing it in with this foundation to Colbert's satire. Most of the articles I've seen talking about it don't even bother to mention the WROAF. Why not try to make common cause with AmeriIndian groups and others who protest against the redskins slur? Suey Park my favorite new political activist. One of my friends is convinced she is actually a Republican doing a Colbert'esque impersonation of an activist, but I think she is for real.
