Never forget the time a bunch of thugs burned officer Chris Dorner alive in a cabin.

I'm against Mothers Against Drunk Driving but I'm anti drunk driving.

Of course, most of the messages I see every day are legal. The reason I'm interested in vandalism is because the author wants people to know it, but is safeguarding against repercussions. It reduces the bias towards saying what's good for you personally.

I've always had an easier time adding than subtracting for some reason.

24-year-old me was an awesome badass and I regret nothing.

This is highly questionable evidence, but I've noticed more anti police messages in graffiti and restroom walls. And I don't get weird looks when I say "police shouldn't exist" anymore.

I'm not. That's one of the humanitarian issues the might worsen for the rest of the union if they stay.

My job security would improve tremendously if we fought a war to keep them, so I'm trying to keep that from biasing me.

Ok sorry if this is a stupid question, but why not let them?

It seems like the biggest concern is a humanitarian one - that sane people who remain in Texas will be worse off - but it significantly improves that same problem for everyone else in the union. And a war would possibly be even worse for sane Texans. It would be cheaper to subsidize relocation costs.

I just don't get why we'd fight to keep them, or pretty much any state these days. They don't have slavery, and there's nothing huge that we were right about to change.

Right, I didn't get that initially because I thought it may have been the ad blocker.

I thought the lack of a list was because of my blocking stuff.

That can backfire. I didn't see even the header of a list, and initially thought it was a "false positive" ad block or Javascript.
