Truth be told, the pirate series is much better than anything they've ever made.

It's 5:00PM here in Phoenix and 107 degrees out. You're a wimp.

If you want to burn money and electricity at the same time, why don't you just wire-transfer me some cash?

Google has several helpful results.

Hillary Clinton is 100% going to win the election, and I will gladly bet money on it.

he pretty much cheated everyone who donated out of their money with no refunds or benefit at all, and probably hurts even worse because those people donating for him were trying to avoid clinton in the first place
A donation is something you give to someone for nothing in return. Although technically, donors did get something in return considering that he was the 2nd most popular candidate for the nomination and survived until the convention.

What's the point in replying if you're going to ignore the video?
That's quite literally the entire thesis of the video. His argument is that people who are a part of BLM have committed terrorist acts, thus BLM is a terrorist organization. The only point that he brings up which ventures out of the realm of case-by-case ad hominem attacks is the part where he claims that, "Assata Shakur is the ideological inspiration for BLM," which isn't even a substantiated argument. The only connection between her and BLM are a couple of posters made by protestors and a single quote by activist Alicia Garza.

I mean, there's plenty of reasons to dislike BLM as a social movement. They make no serious attempt to dissuade violent protest, and their presence on college campuses is plagued by self-imposed segregation policies. But the video is pretty much one big walking fallacy that, if extended to non-black people, would classify practically every modern protest movement as a 'terrorist organization'.

Here's some icing on the cake as to why BLM is a terrorist organization.
When members of a large organization commit terrorist attacks, it does not automatically make them a 'terrorist organization'.

If this reasoning was extended to organizations other than BLM, then the US military would be labeled a 'terrorist organization' hundreds of times over for the numbers of times we've had US soldiers go nuts while overseas and rape/kill random people.

While I agree with this, I still feel something needs to be done about this type of person.
While urging people to shoot random cops makes you a terrible person, it's not really illegal. Direct threats of violence (that you're planning to commit yourself) are illegal, but you can urge other people to be violent all you want as long as there's no actual conspiracy to commit a crime. In defense of the other protestors, it didn't seem like anyone else was on board with what he was saying.

The guy in the video probably could have been arrested for disorderly conduct.

this petition isn't going to get anywhere because BLM is not a centralized movement. there is no BLM president sending out BLM memos telling people to go shoot cops.

it's like trying to label anonymous as a terrorist organization. there isn't any organization to begin with, just a bunch of people labeling themselves

Except SeventhSandwich. He seemed so sure NK was going to do the opposite  :cookieMonster:
Give it time. It's impossible for North Korea to survive without its trade network. Economic pressure will prevail.

The middle east has done worse and we don't put sanctions on them for that.
Except when we did, for Iraq and Iran. Saudi Arabia is special cause they're our freedom buddies that happen to also crucify and decapitate political dissidents.
