Under Attack Next: Our National Anthem

can you BELIEVE there are 14 beautiful European teams that will playing for the world cup? GERMAN BLOOD FTW!

 

Under attack like when the President forgets its words?

 

Aww do conservatives need a tissue?

 

No problem. Thanks to both of you for rubbing it in..

 

Hey I'm right there with you with the quality US side missing out..

 

Well, we should change those first few words of the anthem. Why would we care if Jose can see?

 

No but liberals need some class and manners. Oh and thorazine would help too.

 

Lol. You are giving giddy a run for his money in the most obtuse poster ever awards.

 

Again...sorry to bust out the nuance (first article is from last September):

Of the vandalism, McCarthy said, “We understand the freedom of expression, but there certainly has to be a more constructive and productive way to have a conversation about history.”

The city spent $125,000 to restore the Key monument in 1999, after the monument went neglected for years, with cracked concrete and a broken fountain, according to an article in The Baltimore Sun at the time.
...
The vandalism comes weeks after a monument to Christopher Columbus was damaged in Northeast Baltimore. That incident occurred a week after the city removed three monuments honoring Confederate figures and one honoring former U.S. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney.
...
Key is widely believed to have helped spark Washington’s first race riot in 1835 by his overly aggressive prosecution of a young black man accused of trying to attack his white female owner. But he also stood in front of a jail door and faced down a white lynch mob that wanted to hang the suspect, Arthur Bowen.

Holcomb drew a contrast between the Key monument — built to honor Key’s contribution to American history — and the statues built to glorify the Confederacy and its pro-slavery cause.

“The bottom line is monuments are there to ask the viewer to remember something very specific,” he said. “If that monument is there for the person who wrote and memorialized the Battle of Baltimore, then that’s what that monument is saying. It’s not saying white supremacy is righteous and godly.”

This happened back in Sept - why are you posting it now?

Are Americans such snowflakes that they that this upsets them this much?

 

Dude. ^

 

Have you even been to Baltimore?

 

hey you posted it in the time it took me to dig up the article. But I remembered reading about this last year. I wonder why it's getting a second go around.

 

No, been to the Bay region. Crabs are top-notch, so is the pit beef.

Regardless, anyone who *doesn't* want to burn down a CSV (or an XLS or MDB etc...) never worked with a spreadsheet.

Don't get me started on SAP.

 

I spent some time in Baltimore. There were needles everywhere. People were getting murdered left an right. One guy was shooting up heroin and then took a Molotov cocktail to his laptop! Guess he was trying to burn down his CSV. And there were hookers everywhere. A hooker in a bar did serve me some very tasty crab cakes. Another hooker gave me coffee at Starbucks!

 

Rats, I was going to make the comma separated value joke. At least someone did.

 

Ouch.

 

You condone vandalism, hot take bro.

 

Until it hits that big brick wall.
