I wonder if these kinda folk would count me as a “white” that lied about being native since I’m a mix blood and out of all of the things the Irish part of my genetics could dominate the native part for is making my skin color make me pass for purely Caucasian if you can’t see my facial bone structure or eye shape.

People have always been offended at everything.
Further, it’s as much the protected right of the offended party to be offended as it is the protected right of the person expressing the thing that offended them to be offensive.
Your rights do not protect you from social consequences, if people want to act in legal ways on their dislike for you it’s entirely within their right to do so just as it is yours to reciprocate that.

He was told it was a cold gun, which means a toy prop gun that doesn’t use blanks, no chemical reaction no projectile. The term “live round” in the film industry means a blank, a cold gun doesn’t use those.
Generally there are 2 kinds of “cold guns.”
One that can not access ammunition and physically cannot fire them, a toy with a fake trigger, and then also could be a normal real gun with nothing in the chamber, the cylinder/magazine/etc.
This is primarily the fault of the proper master and the armourer however, according to “attorney Tom” a real life lawyers specialized in grevious injury cases, the producers, meaning Baldwin as well, could be liable because the propmaster had a history of safety complains on other sets and the armourer was inexperienced, not to mention crew walked out of the set before this over a previous cold gun being hot and two blanks being fired accidentally

A reminder that the Christian god does not care what you did in life, literally anyone can get into heaven, the literal only requirement is allowing the light of god into your heart when you die. There are multiple bible verses even in the topic of “it doesn’t matter how good a person you were only that you actively worshiped me at the time of your death”
Specifically calling out that a thief that repents on his death bed and a selfless person whose done nought but good in life are no different in the eyes of god.

Just a reminder that the explicit purpose of americans owning guns, defense against an unjust power, has been used in the 2000s successfully and was ruled to be justified and legal by the supreme court.

@adam44 I was specifically refering to blue lagoons comment.
His response to famousone's anger was to dismiss the outrage by saying that it was 10 years ago, and then emphasis with full caps that it was in canada, not the US, backing that up by saying it couldnt have happened during the same time period in the US, hence my questioning
"i dont understand the point of the extreme emphasis on it being in canada. Is a canadian child dying to negligent homicide less valid as a target of outrage compared to an american child?"
also "we're talking about incidents in Canada so"
you are the only one so far talking about other incidents in canada, famousone hasnt and bluelagoon added nothing about canadian incidents other than to add heavy emphasis that the one in the post wasnt in the US, which i questioned the reasoning for above.

the reason that part of texas became part of oklahoma is because texas wanted to be a slave state and that part of texas was over the line in which all land was legally required to be free land, so instead of being forced to have the whole state be a free state they gave up ownership of it. It wasnt originally part of oklahoma, it was a no mans land for a while, no governing state or territory controlled it and multiple attempts to claim it happened before oklahoma territory absorbed it and then became Oklahoma state, solidifying it being oklahoma

absolutely nothing
The panhandle is 8% of oklahoma's land by area and it has less than 1% of the population of oklahoma in it. It's got a population density of about 5 people per square mile. The largest town there only has 11k people in it, which is 1/3rd of the entire region's population.

that last one is rather odd since america isnt really THAT much worse on the unhealthy weight front compared to similar places, its kinda a "modern humanity" has an issue with morbidly obese people rather than any specific country does. The average weight of a brit for example is only 2 pounds lighter than the average weight of an american

what you've just done is attack the semantics of what the person said rather than the actual point of what they were saying. It's no different than trying to invalidate an opponent's point by only replying that they made a typo on line 3 word 8 character 2 of their statement, both of which are what would be categorized as a red herring fallacy.
You are diverting from the difficult to attack statement they made by instead attacking at an insignificant property of that statement that does not matter, a mistake that does not affect the validity of what they said any more than an a typo.

on the matter of "treated like criminals even tho they've never committed a crime"
a big part of that is that such people that want to get help are still rather scared to get help for it, for a reason i can personally sympathize with. When i had issues with depression and thoughts of suicide many years ago in high school i was reluctant to get professional help for it because i feared being institutionalized for my own safety, so i got help for it far later than i should have and my fears were irrational, there was very little actual risk of me being put in a psych ward.
A similar situation exists for those people. Many fear being locked away to remove the risk that they end up offended, a fear thats caused by stories of that happening to pedophiles that go to a therapist for help with it.

i find humor in the fact this meme uses a depiction of satan further from the source material than what it mocks.
satan would be beautiful. Lucifer fell from the heavens because he became a narcissist. He let his pride in his beauty get to his head and he wanted to be worshiped like god, he wanted to be worshiped more than god. Him and 30 million other angels (a third of ten thousand squared) fell from the heavens banished to sheol, the bottom of the pit.
In later scripts jesus describes "the devil" as a thief, a robber whose goal is to steal, to kill, and the destroy.
Ezekiel 28:12-13 is good for knowing that, yes satan is handsome.
"
Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper,lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl.

you assume the person knew they were being sexist, you assumed they were being "an asshole" or "trolling."
It's entirely possible that it was actually genuinely his first assumption and he just blurted out the sudden realization that he had. People make really weird assumptions, its also not uncommon for people to have an inability to keep their mouth shut, cannot think before they speak aloud. Those mix in weird ways.

Generally speaking someone that claims to be a MAP is going to be the bad kind
All the one's that are just mentally ill people that want to stop being treated like criminals even tho they've never committed a crime moved to calling themselves noMAP (this is years old information from me by the way, could very well be stupidly wrong in the modern day from being out of date)
which stands for something like "non-offending minor attracted person"

There's also the fact that the vast majority of casualties in a great number of battles happened during a route. A lot of the killing would be people in very broken formations being chased or shot down by loose but still organized formations of high moral enemies.
