So now there’s supposedly a second festival, of the same name, and am I getting this right, organized by the same dude who was already convicted? And Mexico is saying they have no knowledge of any such event?
I guess they bet on people being idiots - falling for it a second time - and it seems they were right.
Ah I guess that’s another one for my to-watch-list!
I honestly had to look up what Fyre festvial is. Never heard of it, but
Fyre Festival was a fraudulent luxury music festival organized by American businessman Billy McFarland and American rapper Ja Rule. It was originally created to promote the company’s Fyre app for booking music talent.
Sounds like a real loss, that.
600k? You dropped some zeros there. It’s $600,000,000.
He’d have to go a lot higher than 10k p.p. to even make them consider it, so that’d be billions. Luckily he has millions of tax payers who can fund his little obsession!
All other idiocy aside, this number is just so fucking offensive. 10k, really? That’s it?
You do if you’re from a country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. I mean, it’s not a requirement on the U.S. side, but still.
I just can’t imagine how hopeless these people must feel. It’s a fucking nightmare. You’re accused of something you haven’t done (not that anyone deserves this, even if they are criminals), there’s no way for you to even make anyone listen to you and you’re dumped in a prison in a foreign country with no hope of ever getting out? It’s just… jesus christ, the injustice of it all is simply heartbreaking.
To think that millions of people are actually cheering for this is terrifying. If I were American, I’d be terrified. If “illegals” can’t have due process, then nobody has due process, because how are you going to prove you’re a citizen without due process? They can literally grab you off the street and send you to a concentration camp and there’s nothing you can do about it, because all they have to do is claim you’re illegal.
I honestly don’t understand how all these people in power are even still alive.
I agree.
Whenever I see discussions about Libertarians, I always think about that town, Grafton, that got overrun with libertarians. Human nature indeed.

The book is a very nice read.
Damn, this really is stunning.
In Dutch we have that saying too. “Blaffende honden bijten niet.” Barking dogs don’t bite.
Oh I can definitely not claim it either. Someone said it ages ago, and I stole it.
Yeah same, I guess time flies when you’re bombarded with shit 24/7
I should go. <3
The mierdas touch!
That’s the thing. There are probably a lot of people thinking the exact same thing, you just haven’t found each other.
Hmm, I would hope, but I doubt US power and influence will disappear that easily. It’ll probably just be more negative.
Ha, and France is the largest country in the EU!
I was going to say this. Trump thinks the EU already is what I wish it will become.
Maybe his efforts will push us further into that direction though?
Florida is on it already.
Florida considers bill to roll back child labor laws to fill jobs once held by undocumented migrants
They want minors to work night shifts and encourage people to home school their kids, so they can work more! Yay, progress.
Edit: Oh and they want to pay them below minimum wage!
I have always felt bad for ‘non-practicing’ pedophiles. It must be a horribly lonely thing to go through. Not only are you universally hated, but you have desires and longings you can -never- act on, a need that can -never- be fulfilled. Add to that the isolation… it must be hell. And all because of something they can’t change. And the worst thing about it is that the hatred is so understandable. Where someone’s kids are involved, of course they won’t take any risks. Of course they’re going to lash out at anything and anyone that might be dangerous. It’s a visceral thing.
But you’re right. This idea that every pedophile wants to rape kids is probably very damaging. Not just to the pedophiles themselves, but also the kids around them. When you push someone into a secret corner where they can’t talk to people about their issues, where they can’t be honest, can’t get help… you’ll only make sure that some of them don’t look for help, when they might have otherwise. Someone with nothing to lose is more dangerous than someone with some social net.
Maybe I would feel different if I had kids myself, but I have always approached it from a rational point of view. Does every heterosexual guy rape women? Does every heterosexual woman rape men? Does every gay man rape men? No, of course not. Being attracted to someone obviously doesn’t mean you will end up raping them. Especially when romantic feelings are involved… most people don’t want to hurt the people they’re in love with. So why assume that every pedophile rapes children? I am no expert, but I assume there are way more people with these feelings than we would like to know. Luckily most humans have some sort of self-control.
Ah a registry to track undesirables. Jesus fucking christ.
You know if you allow this, they’ll expand it to other groups as well, right? I am constantly amazed that full-blown riots haven’t started. Peaceful protesting isn’t doing it, you guys.
Unless of course you’re all just very excited for those arm tattoos.
