see you just keep coming back to that. you're not listening to me. i never once defended slavery. it was an awful terrible thing. but it is not who we are as a country now and the crimes of our fathers our not ours to carry. you are just going to torture yourself if all you can see about yourself is what your forefathers did 200 years ago.

and your answer represents a very small minded view of the world. 400 years is nothing. no countries hands are clean. surviving is hard and the ones who do didn't do it nicely. what matters is that we learned from our mistakes and are better because of it. things we do everyday today might be considered horrific and barbaric crimes in 100 years. I certainty won't judge you for it. just learn from it.

not sure that's entirely accurate. but we definitely went along with the slave trade and made it a pretty integral part of our survival and culture for a while. but so did many many many other countries throughout time. some still do it. At least we got rid of it pretty quickly.

man. you have a real hate boner. even if all those things were even half as bad as you pretend they are we are still doing better than most countries in the world. go live in literally any other country for a few weeks and tell me its so bad here.

i mean.. yeah. it did. we are the greatest and most powerful country in the world. things are pretty fucking awesome for us. eliminating the entire population of the south after the civil war would have devastated the country. we had huge farming and metal working industries.

more wasted money to fix a problem that doesn't exist just so they can pretend they care

only 15 extra minutes to use the bus is pretty good actually. more frequency and real bus stops would be a huge game changer. that's for every route. our bus stops are practically hidden. most don't even have a sidewalk

i think the bus already goes from willow lawn to short pump. I don't think it is as frequent as the pulse though. does anyone know how popular that route is?

we put it in the perfect place. if it ran down boulevard or monument it would not be nearly as effective. rockets landing was the perfect stopping point and willow lawn is a great starting point. i think we could keep extending it west and it would be just as popular. we should add more lines too. Hull street or Midlothian trnpk should be our next target.

they usually open as soon as the last runner goes by. the earlier in the route you are the earlier the roads open. not sure about down where the start finish line is. those probably stay closed all day.

again. you are thinking very small minded. you are only looking at a very small piece of the pie and focusing solely on a very very small minority of people. the vast majority of the people you say are in that 2nd group do not think that way at all. the people you put in group one have killed just as many people in far more violent protests. i suggest you stop looking at social media for your news. come up with your own opinions instead of parroting what you hear on reddit and network news.
