Agreed. I went there 4 or 5 times on business back in the early '90's before it got a reputation as a drug infested homeless camp. But outside of Seattle - Bainbridge Island, Mt Olympia, Mt Rainier, Snoqualmie Falls, Leavenworth - are extremely beautiful. My wife and I want to go camping up there sometime.
I suspect the globalists will increasingly try to use these sorts of laws as a way around first amendment protections here. I doubt anyone will get extradited, but can see it being used as an excuse by platforms and also chilling speech to the extent it's an unknown. I've wondered about it on this platform for that matter, as I heard it's French owned.
It's not vilification if it's true. We recently had a Chinese man throw coffee over a new born baby and he got away and fled the country. The media got roasted for not identifying his race because how else do you be on the look out for him. Later the media identified his race. Think about pollice profiling.... eg. US cop show.... "BOLO for Caucasian male" etc... how else do you know what you are looking for. So not vilification.... it is what it is... language identifying the person who did it.
It was about 4:30pm in the afternoon. I wondered what time it was and asked her when I was talking to her. I walk 60-90 minutes every day. When my wife and I were in Paris we literally walked the whole city. You aren't going to see it in a car. If you dropped me in Seattle I wouldn't know where the bad spots are but maybe I wouldn't have been as naive as her. She told me it all looked fine and then she was told to go down Pine street on google maps and then things started to look seedy so to speak. So she got surprised by how quickly it went from normal to weird. That's my impression from the conversation I had. I had a look on google maps just now and said Chihuly gardens to pine street and it's only 1.3 miles - a 22 minute walk. I'm going to walk that far to church this morning. Not worth getting the car out for that.Not calling you out whatsoever, just asking. I reread this and think the thread title is a little misleading. She was not almost attacked. I don't think it was after midnight was it? And Pine St is a lot closer to Pikes Market than the Chihuly museum. They are like 12 blocks apart at least. Not saying she didn't do that. I would have Uber'd as I agree there are lots of pockets of homeless and drug users all throughout that area. As a matter of fact, I think I saw that women you are referring to on Pine St last summer when I was there. It is a rather steep street as you move away from the bay. She was talking to herself (and traffic) a lot. We actually drove by her several times going to Pikes Market. She's harmless. She has mental issues/drug dependencies (guessing) that when combined, make her a little psychotic. Tell your sister not to take it personally. I'm not sure how old she is but walking 12+ blocks in the heart of an urban place like that that already has a reputation is really not advised. I personally would not walk 12 blocks in any major city on this planet including my own (even if I was carrying).
I knew you were gonna argue that, but that's not how it will work. They will make it mean whatever they want to mean, especially including if the "racism" is true. Haven't you head of "hate facts"? Regardless, not only will "Hate" be disallowed, but so will any expression of 'Revulsion, contempt, or ridicule' towards these protected groups.
Heh yeah not happenin around here in the Midwest. You throw coffee on a baby, everyone in line and behind the counter is stomping your ass out. Can you even imagine.
No it's impossible to imagine.
Well you know what - I don't "hate" the woman that followed my sister however she was black and that's a fact... Nor is it revulsion, contempt or ridicule. It is what it is.
I'm still waiting on you to post your vegemite taste test!
I know that. I'm saying that's not how it will work. You think the people implementing these laws are operating in good faith and give a crap about nuance, let alone logic. They're out to dominate and control mate.
You'll probably be waiting until 530 US central time when @japetus dines each and every day, 365 days a year, rain or shine.
The vegemite review is going to be a well curated, well thought out review. I have taken all suggestions into consideration from the resident Australians as far as toast, spread, butter and other.
Like herbal/umami
