I'm donating my body to science. I don't want a funeral. I don't think I need a rock with my name on it somewhere. If you do and want those things, pay for it yourself. Don't ask me to pay for it.

My outrage comes from this has little to do with COVID relief and is more of a bailout for poor choices. Relieving everybody's student debt makes no sense. Paying for a funeral makes even less sense. These situations are completely different from bailing out the airline industry when 95% of...

I'm saying we should let them defer payments. Forgiveness is different. The national average of a burial/cremation is a joke and too expensive, not because it's like healthcare, but because people choose to make it that way. Death could be much cheaper if people simply stopped having funerals.

I'm not making any assumptions. Funerals are mostly religious. If people aren't aware of their job prospects they shouldn't be spending tens of thousands of dollars at a school. It's called personal responsibility. Something I don't think is too much to ask for from kids who are legally able to...

They should be mandatory to fly, renew a driver's license, go to school, etc. Can't let these idiots get in the way of actually achieving herd immunity.

So we should pay for everything for everybody? Funeral homes are not a necessary expense. They are mostly a religious ceremony. Whatever happened to separation of church and state? Literally everybody is going to die. If your family wants to have a lavish funeral they can pay for it themselves...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/what-s-1-9-trillion-covid-bill-biden-just-signed-n1260719 Funeral expenses, student debt, seriously? This bill is such a joke. Now we're just giving away money for unnecessary decisions people make. I don't believe the approval ratings some of these...

There you are actually antagonizing though (which fits your definition). Unlike that guy caught on a mic.

I like this definition: the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.

Context matters. I'm a boundary pusher. It's uncomfortable to use those words seriously. They've become too humorized in my mind. Let's say I really hated this one black person and they had all the negative stereotypes of black people. I just can't use that word seriously, it would make me...

Well the recent history is why it's so taboo. If it were the Irish dance squad and he called them Mics nobody would give a shit. Which is why in it of itself, using the word within the context laid out isn't really racist. For something to be racist it has to express racial superiority or...

Which goes back to my original point. A lot of people use words like that, because they're taboo. It's despicable and insulting. You should never utter it. Wag the finger, shame on you. Well...that makes them fun to say! They also sound kind of funny phonetically.

I do have black friends. They will most likely agree with you and we will agree to disagree. They don't think I'm racist, just strange. What they recognize and I hope you recognize is that I'm completely removing feelings and arguing in the abstract here. Statistically speaking, this guy is...

I don't think calling somebody a racial slang after they do something you don't like qualifies as hate speech in most countries. Here, it seems the actions (the kneeling) are what triggered the response, not their race.

Your question proves my point. It's about history. However, the history of what other people did doesn't make you a racist.

So how is calling them that racist? Let's look at your definition. Is there prejudice? There's zero prejudging going on. He's displaying judgement on what is clearly in front of him. He is calling them that name for what they're doing there. Is there discrimination? I have no indication he is...

What is a racist to you? Define it. I don't think I'm a racist, but according to your definition, I might be. Is it ok to call them that? No, it's mean. Is it racist to call white people with "Blue Lives Matter" stuff "white trash"?

It's not a hate crime. It doesn't even qualify as hate speech. The word has just become taboo in society, because of our history.

Really, Tony? What's that say about me? It's not racist. It does not in it of itself express a belief of segregation or racial superiority. Nor would calling a bunch of white kids with "Blue Lives Matter" hats "white trash" be racist. I think he should be fired from his current job, but I don't...

I'm not saying the guy isn't a racist. I don't know. For me the line for racism is very clear. It's whether or not you are against interracial relationships. If your daughter starts dating a black dude and you're like, I wish she would find a nice white guy, then you're a racist. What words you...
