I agree with you on the wagon. Luckily for me, I prefer AWD. I'm not shitting on SUVs, I'm saying I don't agree with you shitting on sedans. I wasn't too keen on it at first but I figured since it's a DD, I'd actually prefer it, which I do. 8-Speed is real nice when driving long distances, doing 80mph under 2000rpm in a 4 banger. I've got a manual in my fun car, which happens to be a sedan.

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on that one. I wish more people would buy sedans and not just jump straight to a cross-over or SUV. Chances are it holds just as much, sometimes more people and cargo. Don't try to give me any of that "oh but the ground clearance" shit either, you're not leaving the 10 mile radius from the mall, let alone rock crawling.

That's the problem with imitation, you'll always be a step or 2 behind. I'm looking at you Lexus, you unoriginal, German copying, re-badged Toyota son of a bitch.

Is it unwarranted? There certainly were wrongs that needed to be corrected, and for that there was the RDP, . Apartheid lasted for about 40 years, everything cannot be blamed on apartheid. I think a lot of people also fail to realise what apartheid really was (at least intended to be originally). It was really almost identical to Israel, which is why Israel was one of South Africa's greatest allies at the time. Military equipment and atomic bombs were co-developed between the two. Shit, fruit from SA was sold internationally as coming from Israel because of trade sanctions against SA. So naturally now the new government is very anti-Israel, and now cutting diplomatic ties. But homelands were created for different ethnic groups (based on their traditional locations), with basic infrastructure provided, for those groups to go and govern themselves and essentially create a nation for themselves. They failed to do so, so they wanted to come work in the white areas, which is when passes were required to do that. So then you saw things not unlike what happens in Israel, with terrorist attacks and bombs being planted, and a lot of black on black violence. Clearly it didn't work, and it ended and the keys were handed over to the ANC and they fucked it up royally, dragging the entire country down with them all while continuing to blame it all on apartheid.

So I would agree with both you and Tim. Come to the States with your culture (good culture, we don't want your crazy/bad shit), but you need to be able to swim with the stream as well. Work ethic and public behavior is very different culture to culture. I'm sure you guys have had the pleasure of dealing with DMV employees...shits a stroll through the park. Try renewing your South African passport in 2016. Forget the rigmarole of jumping line to line and getting wrong or no information, almost 2 years later, I still don't have it. Things sometimes just move slower over there, we call it African time. You'd fucking pull your hair out if we started adopting that culture here. This country has more opportunities than most to get yourself out of poverty (especially as a minority) and there are plenty of examples to prove it. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink. Just like in South Africa, where everything has been done to economically lift up the majority through BEE, lowering standards in school - You only need to know 20% to pass, white people are STILL being blamed for poverty, unemployment and simply that all black people aren't rich. Now they want to take land from white people because everything else has failed. 17 years, 16 in SA. Maybe Tim just doesn't see the world through rose tinted glasses. I'll tell you, the tint on mine is starting to fade.

I don't think a racist will go through this much trouble to say that they're not a racist. If I were a racist, I'm pretty sure I'd just come out and say, yeah, I'm a racist, and then get on my horse and ride off into the sunset to the klan meeting.

It's my understanding that this is the worst insult you can get as a black American from another black American. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Tom#Epithet

I'd just like to take this opportunity to congratulate His Excellency Vladimir Putin for another fantastic election that he won, and most certainly didn't rig, or hired an international firm to use Facebook data to spread propaganda. In celebration, I'm planning on going out tonight and drinking vodka recklessly if anyone wants to join.

I live a pretty stress free life by not owning Apple products

I have the AC66R, which I believe is the same as the AC66U, except that the R means it was sold through best buy. Perhaps try including that in the search to see if you get any answers. I can't tell you if I have the same issue since I don't have any ios devices. I'm assuming you have the latest firmware since you're an admin

I guess the protest didn't work. (kidding) Shooting At Maryland High School Injures 2 Students; Gunman Dead https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/20/595161163/shooting-reported-at-maryland-high-school I wonder if this incident will get as much media attention as the last one because an AR15 wasn't used and that the little shit was taken out by an armed resource officer.

I saw the headline this morning. The picture they showed of "Danity Kane" made her look pretty hot. Then I googled Danity Kane and found out it's actually a girl group. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They should be thankful that it was a march and not a cruise. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1614360.1392394353!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/aptopix-turnpike-crash.jpg (too cliche?)

Death penalty/life in prison isn't enough to prevent everyone from not committing murder either. I got a couple Saturday schools because I was tardy 1 too many times.

Correct. It is however, the school's responsibility to educate, and provide a safe and equal learning environment for each and every student. 17 minutes of fucking off outside automatically rules out education. You can argue "yeah but they learned a life lesson that you can change the way...bla bla bla" but that's a load of fairy shit. Was it fair and equal? That's where I'm not sure about it, as I stated in my previous post. I don't think the school pushed a political agenda on students, at least not voluntarily. As far as I know, kids are required to go to school either by law, or to want a good job, or not...cake or death. I'm kind of getting tired of this argument, but the only schools I think did the right thing were the ones who said "if you're not in class, you'll get marked as absent and any worked not complete will be marked as such, just like any regular day'. That is a real life lesson, because that's how the real world works.
-
Is it really voluntary? What were the options given to the students? A) Come outside and participate or B) Sit in this room and keep yourself busy/do homework/whatever. If you are given 2 options, and 1 is significantly better than the other, do you really have a choice? Reminds me of Eddie Izzard's bit on Cake or Death - "I'll have cake please". Sounds similar to these women that are accusing Louie C.K., Kevin Spacey, etc. of sexual misconduct. They had a "choice" to not be sexual with them, but at what cost?
