It's funny how mods here are so heavy handed that users feel the need to grovel in their interactions with said mods.

Yeah and if I steal 100 bucks from you then give it back is that fine too? Honestly why do you write something that a child could read and instantly know it's nonsense?

You think people should be prosecuted for doing something you don't like? That's pretty brave - I think the same about things I dislike but would never state it publicly.

So they are not at 0 and there is room for rate cuts.

"It is equivocal – he’s saying this happened, I did what I did, but don’t blame me because would you be able to resist in the same circumstances?”"

Is Justin Croft a dolt? Because he did resist, with a knife at that.

"He never applied for commutation, though he could have had a strong chance at clemency in the 1970s, when hundreds of Pennsylvania lifers were released. Instead, he put his faith in Bridge and waited for the day he’d be released."

So he probably would have been released over 50 years ago but didn't bother. My god aren't you all tired of black people making a national past time of being victims.

"Ligon, now 83, received his life term for taking part in a spree of robbery and assaults in which two people died. Ligon admits participating in the crime with a group of drunk teens but denies killing anyone."

Also this guy can get bent. There are plenty of people who barely survive yet still manage to go through life without being a savage. If you're capable of that sort of behavior at age 15, yeah you definitely ought to be locked up until you're too old to be dangerous.

Let's be real - if Japanese people behaved like black Americans, internment camps would still be a thing today. I'm tired of people excusing degenerate behavior by clutching their racism pearls. Does everyone need to see their grandparents get decked in the head by black youths to snap out of this madness? The undeniable wrongs inflicted upon the black race in America needs to stop being used as a bludgeon to excuse all sorts of uncivilized behaviors.

This is really weak reporting from Reuters. "Kwon’s success also reflects the employment challenges for young South Koreans, despite being among the most highly educated cohort in the OECD club of advanced nations." Really? Because the kid is 12. I would think kids like Kwan whose parents can dump 20k usd on a kid's hobby in a country where old people kill themselves to not be a burden on family is more a sign of how rotten and unequal the korean economy is.

LOL who is saying Vietnam is doing well? They are nothing more than a slave client state of China.

Are people still pushing that trickle down nonsense? They pushed that idea because they think the masses are idiots and we ate it up because the masses are indeed idiots. As far as your point about housing: the supply demand nonsense you learned as a freshman in college is total garbage - the real world does not work like that. You live in a fantasy world where people can say things like "free markets work like so" without any embarrassment, but there never has been a free market in the existence of humanity and there never will be.

China is the greatest external threat to the civilized world. To preempt the standard responses, no, China is not a civilized nation.

"It's the most efficient and least destructive waste of energy imagined."

Excepting political comments this is the dumbest thing I've read on HN.

This article was pretty insipid and included some valuable insights like "The experience of WWII is that stocks generally did preserve wealth. But stocks had substantially higher returns if their home country was on the winning side. Losing the war and becoming occupied destroyed a country’s long-term return in equities." Like no shit sherlock.

Yawn. Am I the only person who is burnt out on hypocrites lecturing me about race? Where are all the articles talking about how brilliant white and asian kids are being denied opportunities because a school or workplace would rather have a show black kid who never would have been accepted if he were not black. I'm tired of being lectured about equality from people who are trying to get their special privileges while denying people a fair shake. I dont hear black people crying about how there aren't enough asians teaching african American studies. Why do underfunded programs need to spend money marketing themselves only to black people? When is the last time you saw a black face in the media without his race being mentioned? I'm not even white and this BS is nauseating.

There is nothing worse than a writer pumping out pro CCP propaganda talking about bringing together humanity. The Chinese have no shame, even though shame is something they can certainly afford and definitely could use.

This guy's writing sucks. I don't know why it's so popular here, besides the fact that men that have never seen war never tire of hearing other people who have never seen war talk about their idea of what war is.
