Who are you kidding man? We glorify murderers every day, we just call them police officers, soldiers, DHS, etc. The American way of life depends on glorifying murderers as it is a huge portion of our income. I don't believe in violence, and that part of the Unabomber manifesto / his actions where abhorrent.
However, the first paragraph of his manifesto describes the 21st century perfectly.
On the reverse, a gaming company with the intent of catering to the zionist crowd could create a CoD-styled game focused on slaughtering Palestinian "terrorists", and it would be a huge hit amongst American jews and evangelicals. There would be no outrage, and republican politicians who spend all of their free time railing against video games would become vocal advocates for gaming.
Pray. Being stopped by American police can be a death sentence for anyone. I knew a programmer who was murdered by the same police he called to help him. His crime? Schizophrenia.
As a Turk, I Believe that all games I play are of American or Japanese origin.
This is why cryptocurrencies are so popular in Venezuela.
I'm curious where you get your statistics from? Do they break down the transfer students' details, ie, how many of them are US students and how many are from China? The competition against rich Chinese students for getting accepted into Cal has gotten more and more fierce the past 20 years.
When a company uses the word "family" to describe themselves, run for the hills!
The problem with the Brunner test is that it is very rarely applied, and applied inconsistently. The test itself is incredibly vague in specifics and is pretty much at the discretion of the judges, who generally always rule on the side of the government, which makes sense, the government pays their salary.
I have one friend who is permanently disabled and spent 4 years trying to get his student loans forgiven. He gave up and fled the USA.
The courts have fought tooth and nail in the interest of their corporate overlords to prevent the Brunner test being invoked.
If more judges do the right thing and allow the Brunner test to actually be applied, it will have a significant impact.
As soon as we have removed all of the silly lines on the map.
Precedent has been set, now other judges can refer to this ruling while making their decisions.
Everybody should just stop paying their student debt. Let the system crumble.
Curious question, however. If he was a naval officer, he not only qualifies to a $73k hand-out for the Montgomery bill, but the military will put you through university as an officer handout.
Soldiers also get an (unfair) entitlement financially. They are allowed to get special mortgage terms backed by the VA, which allows them to walk away from mortgages with no penalty, no ding on the credit report. I'm surprised this doesn't exist for student loans.
This is huge! Student debt in the USA is slavery. Donald Trump is allowed to write off $150m for a failed casino, but I'm not allowed to write off $100k if I'm disabled and will never be able to pay back. That's not right.
America just cut our education budget by 10% ($7bn), while increasing our holy-war budget by $30bn. Considering we give $4bn per year to Israel to fight it's wars, I'm starting to wonder what the hell I get for the $50k I give Uncle Sam every year.
No education, no healthcare, no housing, but more war, more welfare for billionaires and big-oil/big-agriculture, but NOTHING for the average Joe.
Maybe it's time for a #calexit, or just a civil war.
