Not doing well so far tonight

Yeah its just you. I like to judge people based on their actions instead of their race and name.

Irrelevant to what? Their race is relevant to some things and not others. The race of those two men is not relevant to this specific situation. If they did something wrong, it wouldn't suddenly be right if they were a different race, and vice versa.

Those two men who's race is irrelevant by the way, do all of the actual work of making a textbook. I think its ok that they expect that work to be treated as their own.

This is only a big deal because it reminds people of actual injustices natives suffered at the hands of white people

Maybe they should just write their own textbook. Seriously, imagine asking someone to do the monumental task of creating a textbook on a nearly undocumented language, and then expecting them not only to provide as many copies as you want for free but also not to copyright it. Completely fucking delusional.

This would be a good metaphor if there was a massive financial incentive to kick babies.

The language belongs to them, not the textbooks. Why would you have the rights to a book you didn't write, that is about something you own? What were they expecting?

Oh so its ok because they haven't exercised their power in a way you don't like yet. Makes perfect sense.

Usually children know when they are sensitive to those things and can avoid them pretty well. How should a child know they are more sensitive than others to potential negative effects of capsaicin?Also, this brand of spicy ramen will be a lot easier to get rid of than literally everyone that produces peanuts, milk, and shrimp.

Maybe we could find a way to test kids and see if they are susceptible, and then coach them to avoid this ramen at all costs, but that's a lot more work than simply recalling the product that is poisoning children.

Ok, then I agree it shouldn't be sold anywhere.

[–] sanpedropeddler 12 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Unless it is demonstrated to be genuinely dangerous, it should be sold as normal. If no one liked them, they wouldn't sell.

Or its because they have the right to assemble. Not saying cops are great or anything, but its absolutely a good thing they aren't shutting down events based on their opinion of the people who run the events.
