It’s pretty simple. You don’t care about a particular grain of rice unless it’s special in some way (maybe something is drawn on it). Prices are always dependent on what people believe about the object. The “law” just defines the general parameters.
Also, there are many “exceptions” to the theory of gravity and apples do not always fall. Is an apple on a table falling? What about if you lift it? Oh my God, it’s doing the opposite of falling! How is that possible?!?
Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.
You can’t just call everyone who disagrees with you a “Zionist”. We can read comments and your responses to them. That’s exactly what extremists, like Zionists, do.
George Floyd 100% did not deserve to die, and it wasn’t a tragic mistake that killed him. That’s why his death was so shocking.
As someone who used to deal with counterfeit currency, presenting a fake bill is not a crime. The average person has no idea whether a bill is counterfeit and cops definitely don’t. There was literally no reason for Derek Chauvin (and the others) to arrest him, let alone choke him to death.
That’s why people went nuts. He was killed for no other reason than being a black man. It’s as simple as that: some people are totally fine with killing black people because they don’t see them as human.
Some American-made, precision-guided weapons supplied to Ukraine have proved ineffective on the battlefield, their accuracy badly diminished by Russian jamming efforts, according to Ukrainian commanders and a Ukrainian military research project....
This is excellent stress testing for NATO weapons. It sucks for the Ukrainians that they have to be the testing ground, but it’s better than wargames to iron out the kinks.
Ignore these losers. When he is convicted, they will say “he won’t be sentenced to anything”. When he is sentenced they will say “it’s not long enough”.
This dude will probably be under home arrest with an ankle bracelet in two years. I’m only unsure of the ankle bracelet. I think the Secret Service can keep an eye on him.
