What’s the HBO version?
What’s the HBO version?
I'm saying that America society is built on a cycle of irrational fear and mass consumption. And one result of it is guns and violence.
If a foreigner asked me why america has so many guns/violence, that is what I'd tell them.
The manifest destiny (as you implied) is also a part of the yin and yang.
I like when Norton isn’t cryptic.
Would you extend this to the 19th and 18th centuries as well?
I don’t know that I was implying manifest destiny, but it works. What I meant was that the people who conquered the Americas were no different than the Romans, Persians, Mongols, Turks, or any other aggressive, conquering power.
We just wrote a document that said we were different and then we proceeded to come up with reasons (manifest destiny, white man’s burden, etc) to justify doing said expansion despite our enshrined values.
TLDR: We’re all still barbarians: See WW2 for more information.
Ain’t nothing wrong with plagiarizing freedumb.
Gotta love the dystopian future:
Police Are Telling ShotSpotter to Alter Evidence From Gunshot-Detecting AI
Prosecutors in Chicago are being forced to withdraw evidence generated by the technology, which led to the police killing of 13-year-old Adam Toledo earlier this year.www.vice.com
"In 2016, Rochester, New York, police looking for a suspicious vehicle stopped the wrong car and shot the passenger, Silvon Simmons, in the back three times. They charged him with firing first at officers.Gotta love the dystopian future:

I get it.I like when Norton isn’t cryptic.

Cop that shot Blake was justified.
17 year old was in a place where he shouldn't have been, but DA will have a tough time getting convictions with competent defense.
