lol. Every single idiot on the left defending the "free speech" of a global media megacorporation while demanding that normal people shouldn't be able to question things like the safety and efficacy of a vaccine or the reasons for the conflict in Ukraine deserve the [RULE TWO VIOLATION].
because to them, "free speech" means using government and government-privileged corporations to shove narratives down your throat, and especially down the throats of your children, without your consent or even knowledge.
no one said they can't say this shit. but they can't use taxpayer dollars to spew their hate speech. grooming kids in schools is like saying we need to teach kids in schools to genuinely respective violent naziism and violent communism.
[RULE TWO VIOLATION]
[RULE 15 VIOLATION]
[RULE 16 VIOLATION]
Hmmm looks like I can't speak my mind here at all!
hold over from reddit coulda swore it was supposed to be temporary guess it sticks around because kia2 is still on reddit
It was.
I'm still the top post on the orginal rules thread with almost universal agreement.
These rules are shit and should have been changed long ago but Dom refuses to touch them even when it's simple, obvious changes.
Btw here's Dom openly admitting that the rules are shit and he just copypasta'd them without care.
i agree with you the rules need to be changed for here as their justification is nolonger there that and the reddit admins will ban the sub anyway its a matter of time before their demands become impossable to fuffill
For those who don’t know, in Texas the County Judge is the top elected official for a county, like a mayor is for a city, and has no judicial functions.
Thank you for informing us. I honestly wondered what the heck a judge was doing saying this.
Idiot doesn't seem to realize that's a 15 year construction project.
No no no, you see, they're going to MOVE Disney World, not start a new construction project. That would just be silly ;)
Yeah let’s just lift up an area the size of San Francisco (minus the needles and human feces) and move it to another area
It worked in Spongebob Squarepants, right?
PUUUUSH!
I like that leftist have identified their intelligence is on the same level as Patrick Star
Did you miss the comic where one willingly depicted itself as a dead fish? I know someone posted on edit of it on this site, but I forgot what they titled their post.
" WHY DONT WE TAKE DISNEY WORLD AND..
PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE
The construction jobs are a bonus. That's tens of millions of dollars being injected into the Texas construction and utilities industries along with whatever jobs the park brings along with it. Any tourists who come to Texas to visit the park in the future are bringing in money from out of state, which gets disseminated through the park employees and utility companies providing service and into the state economy. The cut taken by Disney themselves is a relatively small piece of the pie.
From a fiscal point of view it's a great deal. Though as a Texas native I can't say I really like the idea of another large park. I guess it depends on where they wind up putting it.
That is a big state, and it would need a lot of land. I would guess the western hills area.
Probably somewhere in the East.
There isn't anything in west Texas except for Lubbock and Amarillo in the panhandle. It's mostly desert or flatlands. That presents three issues; no infrastructure, no employees, and no customers. All the largest population centers in Texas are Eastward; DFW, Galveston, and Houston. That's also where all the tourists pass through thanks to DFW airport.
It wouldn't be a great deal for Disney. The time and capital it would take are too burdensome at this point.
More proof that Texas is lost. Death by Californians. Florida needs to build a wall.
That a fact? Is that why Texas went more red in recent elections, and a lot of formerly Dem territory flipped? Or why the current stats say that Texas is going to be going even more Red this coming election?
Either way, I am sure those stats that came out that the people moving to Texas are more conservative than those who were born in Texas are just lies or something.
Flordia man and our love of gators are enough for now.
Southwest Houston, Democrat. Speaks for his tiny little area that he barely won anyway. I heard Epstein Island is for sale, how about they buy that and move their pedo farm to a pedo island.
The Houston area doesn’t exactly have the best track record for large amusement parks.
That sounds like an interesting story.
Here's a documentary on it.
I dont think Texas wants groomers.
A judge? Wtf... that don't mean squat
This judge is retarded.
I recently moved from CA to Texas and I think Texas is an improvement over California on almost every measure except for the weather.
During the summer, the heat is hotter than I expected.
During a few days this winter, I actually saw snow.
In the last month, at least once every single week has been severe thunderstorms and potential tornado watches. I even saw two tornado warnings in the last month.
Disneyworld in Texas will never work simply due to the weather.
I wonder how hard it would be to get her deep-red country to exile her for defending groomers. A few letters to the right people...
What you're seeing here are the fading memories of what these (not 'the'!) once-United States were meant to be.
You've spent a lifetime embroiled in the results of malignant federalism, to the point neither you nor the people who should have taught you even know what a state is, only what powers the constituent districts called states still have.
To begin with, a state, as the authors of the Constitution and the foot soldiers and generals of the Revolution understood statehood, is a body with a territorial monopoly on the use of aggressive force. From this power, it derives the moral obligation to protect that territory from others and the capacity to enforce laws and levy taxes. You may remember city-states and nation-states from what passes for history classes in this country - the concept is a very old one, compared with the complete subversion in the last century.
A Union of States, then is not one sovereign political entity, (the current federal government) but many independent actors who cede certain powers to representatives of the group as a matter of necessity (national defense, diplomacy, and mediation of disputes).
Prior to the passage of the 17th Amendment, the States themselves chose senators, so they had federal representation accountable to their legislature. Each state maintained a militia, and there was not a standing federal military solely tasked with defending the nation's interests.
As for your question about moving, it was somewhat less of a concern in the 19th century than it is today, but the principles still hold. The state you reside in demands you follow its laws and defend it in times of war, no different than if you moved from the state of Japan to the state of Kazakhstan.
Texas is very proud of the fact that it was one of 10 states that was a sovereign nation before joining the United States in the year 1846. It was independent from Mexico for ten years before being granted statehood (the third longest; the other two being the Republic of Vermont which lasted 14 years and the Kingdom/Republic of Hawaii which lasted 103). The state pledge of allegiance is a cultural holdover from that period.
The state culture in general (outside of the metropolitan zones) is very independence-minded and there's a general disdain present for the Federal government. Especially lately with how they've decided to handle the border. The State government recently even passed a law forbidding local law enforcement agencies from rendering aid to the ATF in regards to federal silencer laws, and our electrical grid is separate from the Federal grid for better or worse.
But yeah we don't like the Federal government.
You need to unlearn modernity.
When the Roman empire died it left its constituent provinces behind to fend for themselves. The Romans left Britannia in 411AD. Within 70 years of that Londinium was uninhabited and a ruin. The 4th largest city in Roman Britain is a ruin today in the middle of pasture land, its only about 40 minutes drive from me. There are the ruined remains of villas and forts all over the country, probably the only really noticeable trace is some of our A roads like the A5 follow the path of Roman roads to some extent. It was a long and difficult road with anarchy after the Roman withdrawl. You had the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy and then the Viking and Norman invasions and England would not really see the kind of centralised unitary government it had under Rome until the 18th century and England has institutions with more than a thousand years of history and a mono-culture on a relatively isolated island. Even in the 17th century many regions of England were essentially under strong man rule who pledged nominal allegiance to the crown while enjoying considerable domestic autonomy. The county of Cheshire was ruled by such a man.
The United States has no future. Its an artificial and rotting edifice of a once great empire but its no more. The federal government has no future, the US dollar has no future. Most kids if you ask them what America is would draw the Apple logo or say its about defending transsexual paedophile rights or something. The states and counties that make it up especially the more rural ones probably will find themselves left behind to pick up the pieces when it eventually dies.
Maybe you get an American Cesar who can turn things around or you get a Vladimir Putin or an Adolf Hitler or a Teddy Roosevelt but that is incredibly unlikely these days. Just look at how dysgenic and retarded the population has become. A nation where the paedophile in Chief in the white house has to invoke Star Wars or Marvel to make the blob shaped mulatto dross in Walmart understand why we have to start WW3 with Putin over Ukraine where at Putin goes on TV and gives an hour long dissertation about the history of Ukraine and the intricacies of the Soviet system is highly unlikely to have the ability to produce such a man.
Oh and I'm not some smug Euro-trash gloating over the death of the Amerifat empire either. As someone who has spent a lot of time in both Europe and America I would say as shocking as it is the situation in Europe actually seems worse in some ways. We haven't been hit as hard by the opiate epidemic or obesity in our post industrial hinterlands but there seems to have been an even more severe generalised cultural collapse and an even greater proportion of the population who have lost all semblance of the concept of self preservation. Europe's financial system is on the edge of the abyss and without access to cheap Russian energy most of Europe will not even be able to heat itself come winter let alone operate any industry.
Problem with the EU is the states' dependence on cheap loans handed out like candy as long as you do what they say. Nobody wants to give up free money. It's like an empire with reverse tribute. ("hey guy's we'll pay YOU if you join us!")
The system is unsustainable and has to collapse eventually but it may take a long time.
Well, we are a United States which means the intention is to lean towards your State over your Fed. Especially since one is your smaller home and has a massive effect on your day to day, whereas the other should be further removed from that. The same way you care about grandma more than Great Aunt.
It was only through constant overreach of the Fed that States lost their identity and power and we became a forced amalgamation of one big nation. Some states however kept more of that identity than others, and that's independent of Left/Right schisms.
Well we are still a United set of States, which means that unless you are taking open action against Texas you aren't actually committing treason. Immigration isn't treason.
Whereas China is a state that is usually constantly acting in a way that is considered malicious towards the US, so supporting them would be traitorous.
I always felt like Hawaii was a giant reservation, and the military territory was actual America. We joked Waikiki was actually a reservation for tourists because most people only stepped foot in there if they had to. A lot of locals quietly cheer when they hear about the bombing of pearl harbor. There is a looong history of resentment in Hawaii which catch beef.
I've never lived in Texas, but I can sort of see the same thing among Texans and their history.
Its where most of the tourists stay. In fact, the entire area is for tourists. Everything doubles and even triples in price because tourists go on vacation to not think.
What this does to a gallon of milk, or other random item is really annoying, and bleeds into the rest of the island.
