I have no idea what place it's from. It's quite nice though. When I find out what country it is I can go round and be all racist at them for being from somewhere with not as much virus and racisms as us. I need to know where it's from. Puerto Rico?

Has anybody actually read their GoFundMe page. One of there aims is to abolish the police force. I started reading their GoFundMe page, rolled my eyes a bunch, and gave up when I got to the outright lies, "Black people in the UK are more likely to be in prison than those in the US. This is racism." They don't have a source, and we know that 1 in 3 black men in the US will go to prison, I've never read such a load of bollocks.

No just from reading that page but talking about the abolition of the police force is a bit extreme. No problem with left wing ideology. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I wouldn't feel comfortable arguing in favour of defunding the (UK) police when I've used police cuts as a stick to beat the current government previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with left wing ideology. More than a bit extreme. I've been a frequent critic of the UK police, most frequently due to their overreach in enforcing non-existent lockdown laws, but this is another example of some people importing American outrage for problems that either don't exist here, or at least don't to anywhere near the same degree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It's almost identical to the flag of Chile. The blue would just need to stop at the end of the white and then the whole bottom would be red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, I might have to not do the racism, as maybe Texans are better at it than I would be? I might stick to not being a word removed for the time being (yeah, yeah...).

Arizona is good, but for my money the best is South Carolina: EDIT: Speaking from a design perspective of course, meaning-wise it has plenty of negative history, exactly as you would expect of that state . . .

HanoiVillan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Very much on topic for the thread, at the end of this video you can have the joy of watching Nick Ferrari asking Afua Hirsch why she doesn't leave the country and live somewhere else if she has problems with it: He'd have lost his job for saying that about a dozen years ago; I bet nothing at all happens today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
