Maybe we watched the news and saw it happen. Egads!

Of course there was some violence. You think the cops are going to be peaceful? Ha!

They said they did not know it was slave labor. Do you believe them?

I read two articles and didn't see any indication that the store managers or HR employees were actually investigated. Until there's an investigation, I'm going to use common sense, which suggests that several people (or more) knew something was extremely wrong.

You just said nothing at all, my friend. Were you accusing the poster? Was it satirical? Was it serious? Nobody knows. Who is the clown? Is it OP? Is it yourself, the general public, some sucker who replied to you?

Which is a nice example of how the Internet is weird. Not great for making a point, tho. :-)

If only there were a way to search specifically for videos. That would be convenient.

Right right. That's what they were trying to do. And they died. So what are you going on about?

You have to make some assumptions for your question to make sense. If all you want is lines on a map, that could in theory happen tomorrow. Various political leaders could agree to it. But lines on maps don't change what's happening on the ground.

So I think the short answer to your question is, it might look exactly like today. But if you want to add in some details to your hypothetical, if you want to establish that there are peacekeeping forces or that various factions are disarmed, or some means of reducing violence and increasing human aid, that would continue in the medium and long term, then you might have an interesting question. The problem is that until you specify those details there's no way to answer the question you're asking, because everything depends on the structure of the country.

My cats treat me like a big cat. That's why they brush up against my leg, for example. Or wake me up at 6AM on Sundays.

I'm not the master. But they don't want to disrupt the harmony, and I'm the biggest, so they usually avoid doing things that irritate me, if I'm there to see it happening.

Well yeah. If she copies Hillary, maybe she'll get what Hillary got.

Jesus. They're the news. Why would they show stories about things you don't need to watch? ... /rant

Holy fuck dude.

 

Here's Ozzy Man's critical analysis of Johnny Howard the Prime Minister buying back guns and crushin' them ay. It may have some relevance to current American events.

 

WINDER, GA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Georgia in which a lone attacker killed at least four individuals and injured nine others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place...

 

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.

 

OSAKA – An American man known for streaming provocative videos has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a construction site in Osaka, police said Friday.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael, 23, known as "Johnny Somali" on YouTube, was arrested with another American, Jeremiah Dwane Branch, 24, who says he is a university student, according to police.

Ismael's videos include those in which he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and makes racist comments about Japanese people.

The two men allegedly made an unauthorized entry into a hotel construction site in Osaka's Chuo Ward on Aug. 30 with Branch filming a masked Ismael at the scene, according to the police.

They have told police they will not speak until they see lawyers, police said.
