Harris and Trump are getting ready for Tuesday’s debate in sharply different ways
  • I think Biden would have still won. Incumbency and name recognition is huge advantage among people who bother to vote in primaries.

    It would basically be Biden on one side with several candidates splitting the anti-Biden vote.

  • They All Got Mysterious Brain Diseases. They’re Fighting to Learn Why.
  • I don't know how that post was intended. But I didn't take it that way at all.

    I thought it was a joke on Canadians because of how polite they are known to be. The "sorry" apologizing for everything stereotype. Was confused how that could be referencing guns or US.

  • Got any more tips? I just kind of laugh it off and say yeah...guess so. Or nope too clumsy for basketball lol.

    How's the weather up there is most annoying and I never know what to respond for that. Think I just glare lol

  • Is Now the Right Time for Black Americans to Get Our Reparations?
  • My worry is that it would create unnecessary racist tensions. People who are in severe poverty would be extremely resentful if they didn't get assistance for not being the right race.

    The cycle of poverty is a universal problem that transcends race and I believe it should be solved at the root of the problem which is intergenerational poverty and discrimination. No matter what the cause, nobody should be left behind and especially not for racial reasons.

    Also agree that this many years after slavery there is nobody to directly compensate. Is less than 1% black ancestry enough? Do they do DNA tests or would they need to prove they had an ancestor who was a slave? Many don't have family historical records, I know many people who don't even know their grandparents.

    What if someone is a billionaire whose family had recently immigrated as a wealthy family from Africa? Are they getting it but a homeless person of every other race gets nothing? It effectively turns into a sort of racial means testing that is divisive and overly complicated.
