Pickles are fucking nasty though.

You should get a jar of pickles for occasions like that.

One of the older ladies I work with is all like "JUST GIVE THEM THE PICKLE!" then tells me some story about a sandwich place that normally doesn't give pickles and how some guy just gave away a pickle and they got a whole bunch of positive recognition for it. And I'm like "I'm just going to give them this Mickey plush for free because he forgot his wallet and Disney doesn't give a shit about a $20 plush".

Apologise for it, remove the sign and honour that transaction.
I mean I get it if it's a major fuck up for a few hundred, but when it comes to the small stuff it's better to keep a happy customer (who then returns again) than to kike them out over a few shillings.

The federal government wasn't enforcing bus integration in the southern states that was downright ignoring the law. Shouldn't have Kennedy brought the hammer down on bus integration in the southern states that refused to obey federal law?

How do you figure?

Don't you think if Kennedy had the issue on the forefront, the freedom rider* situation wouldn't have needed to happen? The whole point was that the federal government was doing jack shit to help enforce the law.

I totally originally typed "Writers" because of that shitty movie.

The only part of the movement that is "mostly remembered" from Johnson's administration is the legislation he got passed in Congress. The movement is more aligned with Eisenhower and Kennedy, because that's when the brunt of the force occurred.

Even so, that isn't the point. You said "Space!" would be a unifier today, as it was under Kennedy. Yet even then, it wasn't a unifying force - namely for many Americans who were fighting for basic civil rights. The only real times that America has ever been "united with a common cause" was after Pearl Harbor and 9/11, and that didn't exactly lead to outstanding results.

Because they were grouped up with the entire movement which is mostly remembered from Johnson's administration. I'm not saying Kennedy didn't have a major place in these events, but under his leadership it was on the back burner while he was dealing with the Soviets, the primary trigger for his Space Race.

Tell me again how they weren't focused on or prominent because of "OMG SPACE"

I never said that we didn't have major issues during that time, but they weren't focused on until Johnson and Nixon were in office.

Are you saying our accomplishment wasn't beneficial to us regardless of its intentions?

That's only because you were in a dick measuring contest with Russia and wanted to one up their first man in orbit.

In any other circumstance the moon would not have been anywhere near as much a priority on people's minds.

All of that took a back seat until after his death.

Yes, because the late 1950's and 1960's were certainly a time of peace for Americans.

Certainly no widespread, nationwide protests on important issues.

None at all

I never said it wasn't divided. It's hard to ignore the riots and protests.

The problem is the divide was never really strong enough to cause this much strife. We all kind of agreed that mostly died out in the twentieth century, not thinking it would come back, and we thought that way up until as close as the end of 2015, we all thought Trump wouldn't even accept his party's nomination IF he won. As long as we focus on simple identity politics and not give all of us a common goal outside of that, it's going to remain this way.

But you, and others, act like the country isn't already deeply divided based on views - or that it will ever really heal. America is pretty much two very different nations between the liberal urban coasts and cities, and the rural regions everywhere else. That is how it is, and barring any shift (As in more urban areas), how it will be for the next century.

He hates Trump so much for scapegoating groups of people and telling them they need to get out, yet what is he doing right now? He's scapegoating everyone he doesn't agree with as "his enemy" and telling us we need to divide this country based on views. That is absolutely impossible and will only hinder this country more.

He is back pedaling on everything he has agreed with from the mainstream left. He didn't get his way and is going full blown Nazi just as much as Trump is.

Yes and no.

Lmao aren't you like really big into globalization? Asking for divide is pretty fucking hypocritical.

Why is it a bad thing to have someone in my country who I can point to as an enemy?

Why am I obliged to associate (let alone cooperate) with the people I consider my enemies?

I can not believe that Donald Trump out of all the western leaders in the world is the one saying what needed to be said about Castro.

Quote
"The world marks the passing of a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades," Trump said in a statement issued hours after Castro's death. "Fidel Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights."

Trump, who has pledged to roll back the Obama administration's diplomatic opening to Cuba, said the nation remains "a totalitarian island," but he hopes that Castro's passing will mark "a move away from the horrors endured for too long, and toward a future in which the wonderful Cuban people finally live in the freedom they so richly deserve."

There is nothing to mourn about, he was the one that was willing to bring WWIII and for whatever reason, other world leaders are talking about how fucking "wonderful" he is.

I'm not saying this group is wrong, but I'm sure our faith in the system was already at the lowest possible point when the two major candidates were fucking Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
