  1. Pretty sure more girls have been raped by straight men than by men pretending to be women. So, guess we better make heterosexuality illegal?
  2. When 100% of the population is vaccinated, 100% of the COVID infections will be amongst vaccinated people. That is a very clear indication that the vaccine is useless and we are much better off with vitamin C and Ivermectin.
  3. Agreed. But potentially innocent people are not being put to death. There aren't shoplifters with life sentences. There isn't the continuous need to identify the political leaning of a judge whenever decisions are made. It isn't perfect by any means, but I do believe the potential for "mistakes" and the magnitude of those mistakes is significantly different.
  4. But you see, there is no systemic racism and everybody gets the same opportunities.
  5. Just like the only time the NRA championed restrictions on gun rights was when black people dared to openly carry guns.
  6. The first part of that sentence is correct. Whether it is a big deal is really going to depend on more than just the delta between the values. Every developer has different appraised values for different purposes and under different scenarios and it isn't all nefarious. Let's say I have an acre lot, currently zoned residential with a renter in the single 2 bedroom house on the property. For property tax purposes, that value assessment is going to be based on those parameters and get to a pretty modest value. Now, let's say I am going to the bank for financing purposes. I may want to try and sell them the dream. The dream of zoning to commercial and getting a density lift to maybe 5.0fsr. Now I have the potential to develop 217,800 square feet of high end office space, a much larger income potential and therefor a much higher value for my same 1 acre of land. Not saying that is the case here at all. But just because two valuation got to two wildly different values for the same plot of land doesn't mean anything nefarious happened. And yes, everybody does that.
  7. Considering you needed Netflix to get this going, I am going to have to solidly disagree.
  8. Maybe some of that money is better served going to the families of the two black men who spent long times in prison for supposedly killing Malcom X, while evidence of their innocence was withheld. The American justice system is an absolute travesty.
  9. I am very jealous. Enjoy, please share some pictures when you get back!
  10. 5 years spread over 15 countries averages 4 months per country. Yeah I am sure you are a true expert.
  11. Oh, but Brenthutch is a true mastermind when it comes to percentages!!!!
  12. He'll probably complain they are not feeding him organic food.
  13. Record setting weather for heat and rain, driven by climate change. Just like ever increasing global insurance losses are in large part due to climate change.
  14. I doubt you are able to point out Denmark on an unmarked map, considering many of your fellow countrymen cannot find the US on a map. Maybe if it was on a cartoon first?
  15. Ah, so in your response to me, exactly which European expatriates bloviating did you try and reference? Is this a large group that often causes problems? I rarely hear about his on the news, maybe you can point me to some examples?
  16. We had a heat dome, massive wild fires and now massive flooding after historic rains. She got some kind of memo alright.
  17. Insurance is getting significantly more expensive ad that won't stop. 2021 Has been a very expensive year for insurance companies with significantly global insurable losses. One of the worst years on record.
  18. Oh I do. But I didn't want to point how you are wrong as usual. I was born in Toronto, Canada.
  19. So your ancestors, but you are somehow different? Or are you of indigenous heritage?
  20. Like Israelis telling Palestinians how to co-exist with them or they just bulldoze their homes. Or Americans trying to impose their version of democracy on other countries. Or people susceptible to road rage because other drivers aren't behaving like they want them to. Sanctimonious assholes like that?
  21. It appears there has been a very calculated decision that the damages likely to be levied are less than the reputational damage to his financial sources becoming public.
  22. And yet you applaud increased "defense" spending. Is killing more people with weapons more fun than trying to kill less people by mother nature?
