15 Examples of 'Anti-Homeless' Hostile Architecture That You Probably Never Noticed Before

Trump is worse as he has more power and the means to enact more bullshit. Speaking of Wallace- he, according to many people and especially a large group of black leaders (quite a few attended his funeral), said he made an attempt to change after being shot. I fully doubt tRump will ever change his evil ways.

I had a believer, anti abortionist say, and mean it, that I wanted to kill his grandchildren. Had I been more ready for that remark, I would have said, "No, too fatty, I like lean meat." Or, the time my evangelical minister bro-in-law said, "I don't think Obama is the antichrist, but I think he will usher him in."

Like I say - responsibility. I offer the "gun nuts" (And I, too, had guns early and later military (brother and father - pushed safety on me) the option of returning to 60's gun laws, which would make ownership easier, but return the need to responsibility. If someone got shot back then, you had better have had a damn good reason - or jail or fine.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jul 26, 2019:

Impeachment isn't the road - my take. And, fuck yea, I want him gone. The current Senate protects him. Need no reason to rile his base - keep pushing discord; keep shoving his immorality in their faces - INVESTIGATE (26 Benghazi investigations say something, only here ther is evidence). Get out the vote and turn around the iffy independents. Stand united, no matter who the fuck gets the nomination. Be a big boy or girl and don't whine if your person doesnt get to run (my pick decided not to run). I'd be thrilled to vote for Bernie, but if he doesn't make it, NEXT.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jul 26, 2019:

People refuse to talk logically about the death penalty. I'm not going to list the various arguments in this brief spurting. The issue is always aimed at emotion; and I am always quick to tell a proponent that, yes, I agree that there are people who should not be in society and that, yes, I, too, would want to do something horrible to a person(s) who harmed a love one. The key point I want folks to think about - do you really want it legal for your government to have the right to kill their citizens?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jul 25, 2019:

If everyone were perfectly honest with themselves they would admit that yes, I do have prejudice, maybe not overt and maybe I work to keep it in check- but, yes, everyone holds some forms of prejudice. Those people you speak of often are full of prejudice and simply don't want to admit they may have a fault, or they are lying through their teeth, or (less) possibly don't understand or believe in systemic racism / prejudices. Mostly, I believe they are just lying assholes who have thrown up their real colors and their pure hypocrisy.

Would you be willing to pay extra for biomass-based synthetic gasoline?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jul 25, 2019:

I said maybe. Other alternatives would be better and more Earth friendly. Biomass fuel is still a part of the big oil groups, and that will promote their products which need to scale down. Also, as with why ethanol, which is currently damaging the engines designed for petroleum, the same problems will occur - so, will auto makers produce machines that will run well and efficiently on the product? I think not.

Who knows anything about cable companies, their program offers, or their outrageous prices?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jul 23, 2019:

I only get internet and watch shows on their sites, etc. Also, a lot of cheaper options, especially on the net. As far as providers and cost - if there is only one, they put the screws to you. Every couple of years my internet tries to raise the price I pay; I'm lucky, as in my town they have a competitor (not as good as service, but always a bit cheaper) so I call and say, you know, I would prefer to keep things as they are, but if you insist I'll cancel now and go to the other guys. Also, be careful about illegal boxes- most font work anymore with improved security and companies will prosecute. That said I got free cable for 5 or 6 years, legally. Decided to take a break for the summer and get the kids off the box - requested a hold on my service with no charge to restart within so many months. Got the written okay and they never turned me off. My lawyer said don't lose the paper and enjoy your free service.

I don't necessarily believe either in this case. The U.S. does recruit operatives, or spies, from local populace. That said, Iran with a huge internal and hidden police force has to be difficult to infiltrate- but it was done in the old Soviet days. Anyway, I would hope and expect silence and denial from the U.S., if only for the protection of those arrested. Actual, as deceitful and evil as tRump has proven himself, I wouldn't be surprised to see him admit it just to make a point to his base - look, I infiltrated Iran (nothing about getting caught- that may be why he is silenced)

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jul 21, 2019:

Qur'anic science, I take from the post is the more "modern" lack of science and reliance on holy books like other repressive Abrahanic religions (inclusion of creationism). Islam, like Christianity, etc has had its days of science and them the powers in charge realized that a dumber populace was an easier to control populace (As long as there is bread). I see little difference in disbelievers of science. I fluctuate between blaming religion for science repression and blaming the elite who empowered the set religion of an area. It is probably both, as once a religion gains power, it, too, wants to control the people.
