You got that fucking backwards, sir.

One does not ask the oppressed to change the abusive relationship, one speaks to the pricks paying 50k to leave their actual feces and trash on a mountain to check a box.

At the very least I have an adopted brother over there that depends on tourists

That’s the point, and that’s why the guy is not “chill” about it.

Tourism is very much a colonial economy when there is income inequity. I am sorry that your adopted brother depends on tourists for income, but that does not justify the inequity.

If you were to hire a Sherpa in the Alps or Canada, you’d be paying a hell of a lot more for the privilege of the climb. So tell us again why these rich folks get away with paying so little…

When you make the argument that the locals depend on the income, you are also implying that it’s OK the locals earn so little without these rich folks.

Oh, the “locals depend on the revenue” argument. Haven’t seen that in a while.

Boooo.

“More than 20 years ago”, as you put it, in 2005, Amazon did not sell much more than books, and they did not ship to Europe yet.

If you are going to lie, make it at least believable.

Beard thing?

Its not the nuclear part, it’s the part where Trump thinks public utilities should be for profit first.

Exactly. A day in the life of Homelander.

Yes, point taken.

Canadian Club is owned by Suntory, if that means anything to you. Still not American, I guess.

Well, one, I suppose.

Nope. No string, no cello tape. They’ve gotta have a steering wheel. There’s a minimum crew requirement.

Such as?

I assure you, these new vessels are built using the strictest maritime standards.

So you don’t think either ad is racist. Got it.

Why did you reply here? To convince us that the ad really isn’t that bad?

REALLY important to distinguish between a country wrapping itself in a religion and the religion itself.

Israel is responsible for the violence, and is a Jewish state. However, not all Jews are Israeli.

Hey, that’s our word.

I don’t think anyone is arguing your opinion, it’s just this is not the right venue for an opinion.

I don’t want any more fossil fuels either, but I’d rather be exporting in LNG/LPG than in crude or bitumen through pipelines.

This thinking is so dangerous… Help others when they need it, it makes the world better.

The problem with NOT helping a racist jerk in distress:

1. Not all USA residents are racist jerks.
2. Racism and being a jerk are generally learned behaviours, not innate.
3. How do you tell a racist jerk from a non-racist, non-jerk?
4. Sometimes being a good example encourages a person to not be a racist jerk.
5. A racist jerk might help you one day.
6. Etc

The lesson is that we’re all people.
