The Pope pulled a @Stradling

I'm not going to boycott In N Out just because they donated to some Republicans. That's pretty dumb. Of course, so is liking In-N-Out more because of it.

lulz.
That's a Calhounian shift from "no thoughts."

I'm pretty sure everyone has been boycotting BK for 2 decades.

Yep, definitely a figure of speech.

Yahoo it is. 

I told them to stop undervaluing my 1973 Villa Park HS basketball souvenir program, with Kevin Costner being part of the team.  

I use google search for two primary reasons. 1. To spell-check infrequently used words so as to prevent an encounter with @EnglishCop. 2. I use it like most people use it - to locate pictures of aging Asian professional males for online profile pics. 
I don't need the government involved in either scenario. 

Yep. So, naturally:
 

Google is a pretty slimy company that acted in decidedly bad faith while promising in its own creed to "Don't be evil" until they decided it wasn't necessary anymore. On the other hand considering the threat authoritarian countries consider a (relatively) free search engine, this attack on Google is chilling.

You forgot to log off first.

Those are totally different concepts. Give me a friggin break.

Both simply cannot be true at the same time! It's impossible!

The extreme right or extreme left should never be given too much power: See Pinochet in Chile or Hugo Chavez & his succesors in Venezuela.
Thats why when i hear people wanting every republican or democrat voted out, it bugs me, one party having 90% control would never be a good thing, once one side gets that much power they stop listening to the people who elected them & start serving their own interests & moving in different directions, then they try to change the rules in a power grab move.

This is a complicated situation.  It really isn’t a simple thing.  We all know about apartheid and it’s legacy didn’t vanish overnight.  It’s dishonest to claim this is simple land theft.  There’s a complex history here. I’ve seen people here referencing the Zimbabwe fiasco.  Certainly, that was handled badly and hopefully South Africa doesn’t intend on following that model.  
IMO, the land owners should be compensated for their land, end of story.  I assume almost all of these folks are multi generational.  Whites do owe Black South Africans restitution’s but they also, are legitimately South Africans like their ethnically Black countrymen. Therefore, they should be treated in manner that doesn’t leave them destitute.  I may be incorrect here, but from what I’ve read, the intention of the South African government is not to seize all of the farms from all white farmers.  It’s rather an effort to redistribute land that has been dominated by whites due to the countries history.  I don’t know how that should be settled, but like I said.  Apartheid wasn’t so long ago, and whites should accept that they owe restitution.  That may appropriately mean not gettting full value for some land that they will have to surrender.  
Some are trying to frame this as scary blacks coming to murder and steal from whites.  That’s typically racist and wrong.  I think Americans should accept the history as it is, try to be impartial and let South Africans work this out.

Man, the SJW parents of those middle school students are a buncha babies. I see nothing wrong with that assignment.
(I think I got the tone of much of this thread correct, please advise on any adjustments I need to make. Thank you in advance.)

You can go to that rally, but only if you're done with your keynote at the "Let's Make Stupid As F@&$ Posts On The Internet" rally in the convention hall room next door.
