By making this argument you appear to be supporting those who are sending the death threats. That’s not a good look. In every conflict in history between those who used racism as a reason to do things and those who oppose them, the racist people happened to be the bad guys. Probably not a good idea to align yourself with racists…
You’re being disingenuous. Violence doesn’t have to be a physical threat to be considered violent. If colors, coughing, and arguments can be described as violent, hate mail most certainly can. Especially if it’s threatening someones life or livelihood.
US Department Of Justice:“The “crime” in hate crime is often a violent crime, such as assault, murder, arson, vandalism, or threats to commit such crimes. It may also cover conspiring or asking another person to commit such crimes, even if the crime was never carried out.”
Do you need me to post the definition of argument and denunciation too? I mean it’s right there. In the definition I posted. Maybe you personally believe words can’t be violent, but that doesn’t change that they can be.
No point debating dumbasses that try to “gotcha” about semantics. Like you said, disingenuous. Troll. Edgelord maybe. Hopefully he’s not actually this stupid.
It’s just such a myopically ignorant thing to say. According to mental health professionals the effects of verbal abuse can cause a slew of issues both mental and physical, and we know bullying can lead to suicides, swatting people is literally using your words to invoke violence. Three ways words can be violent just off the top of my head. Words can absolutely cause violence, what a shitty take.
It’s not MasterCard’s fault, it’s the federal regulations against marijuana that make it illegal for MasterCard to process these payments. Blame the federal government, specifically the DEA who’ve become their own legislators and enforcers (they’ve usurped the original checks and balances of the Controlled Substances Act, it’s pretty fucked up actually).
Bottom line: War on drugs has been a catastrophic failure of epic proportions and yet we haven’t gutted and dismantled the sole agency that’s gotten fat off of it and operates with barely any oversight.
I understand your point, but MasterCard’s faults are several enough that I’ll cut them slack like I will any other financial institution squeezing fee and interest payments from the poorest among us. Credit cards are now required for all online transactions. To think one has a choice among the many available is to think one can choose which lung to breathe with.
Oh don’t get me wrong, they’re an evil company like the rest of their ilk. I was just clarifying that in this specific context, they’re not the ones at fault for once.
Hello! Your title might not match the title of the article you linked! Could you please double check, and edit your post title if it indeed does not match? article title: “New York Fire: Burning construction crane collapses into Manhattan skyscraper” (Similairity: ~36%).
ZZZzzzz… this action was performed semi-automatically by a bot (:
Thanks, I heard of it yet couldn’t find the definition :
Since 1893, the legal definition of the foot in the United States has been based on the meter. The definition adopted at that time was the one specified by Congress in 1866, as 1 foot = 1200/3937 meter exactly (or 1 foot = 0.304 800 6 meter approximately).
And now USA will use : 1 foot = 0.3048m
…much more convenient 😆 !
I highly recommend all people be aware of this; and to encourage their own state legislatures to strengthen these laws or enact them if they don’t already exist in their state
