Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do). If they can’t, I will revisit this issue!

Fuck off, asshole. Jerking around 800,000 people is one of the shittiest things you’ve done in a long line of shitty things you’ve done.

Yeah, I as I understand, with DACA, we are talking about illegal immigrants that came here when kids. the overwhelming majority did so with their parents. They can’t have known the ramifications involved in what they were doing. They were just do what their parents told them to do. Many would have been way too young when crossing the border to have any understanding of what they were doing.

I rather like Cabaret, Rocky Horror and Jesus Christ Superstar just for the music alone (the acting and design are fantastic too) Hedwig is an amazing experience. I saw a stage production but the film was much better.

Never saw or heard about Hedwig. I also have never seen Rocky Horror. I have seen Cabaret and Jesus Christ Superstar. I remember watching a local production of Cabaret. The actor playing the Nazi singing the last line at the end of act 1 “Tomorrow Belongs to me” was quite chilling. I sometimes watch in the movie version of Jesus Christ Superstar at Easter time. It is not quite my style of music, but I like it.

I like to see if I can gain any wisdom/insight by re-reading and reconsidering these things.

Did you, in this case? Don’t leave me hanging.

I have not as of yet changed my opinions about giving my opinion on racial issues, if that is what you mean. Maybe if I had to do over again, I would say some things differently. Maybe I wouldn’t say some things and maybe there are things I wish I had said. I am still thinking about it.

I will say that I never realized just how many typos I made in that debate. I have to be more careful.

Thought maybe people here might like to know/be interested, that I do that.

Grammar tip: you don’t need a comma in between “interested” and “that I do that.” You’re not joining two clauses there.

ok.

I spent a little time today looking at our racial flareup that took place on page 396 to page 414 of this thread. I do this sort of thing every once and awhile after there has been some distance. I like to see if I can gain any wisdom/insight by re-reading and reconsidering these things.

Thought maybe people here might like to know/be interested, that I do that.

Final, Final day at my current job today.
It feels weird.
I did two ten hour shifts this week to clear my desk. So now I’ve kind of run out of things to do but a co-worker who is also leaving today and myself are really not sure what is happening next. very strange 😄

I hope you are moving to a new and better job and not getting fired or something like that.

The funding for our service came to an end and the organisation I have been in secondment to dragged their feet putting in funding bids. So I haven’t been sacked, my employers were very pleased with my contribution but I haven’t got anything to move onto. I’ve made lots of applications but nothing successful yet. To cap it off my partner has decided to move in the spring. He owns the house but I own the contents so that’s a added layer of stress I could do without at the moment.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope things get better for you.

Police Video Continues To Confirm What Everybody Already Knows:

I think the cop was trying to make a sarcastic joke, but that was dumb thing to say. Really stupid. In this case, I would understand if this bothered/offended African Americans. At best, this is very insensitive to what is going on in the country right now and with all the problems cops are having with the African American community.

I’m leaning towards this, as well. That said, it’s a horrible joke on a lot of levels.

Agreed, especially when you consider that it is in regards to a number of African Americans that have been shot and/or killed by the police. Even if the police were justified in all the various cases, you don’t joke about something like that.
