@Arsonist999 Statues glorify. Unless kept in a museum where the context is taught. You learn history through books, articles, primary sources, secondary sources, historiography texts, lectures, databases, research, documents, documentaries, and lectures.
A statue standing on a town square do not teach history. They are meant to glorify.
By your own dumb logic, Germans should keep Nazi and Hitler paintings and murals in their government buildings for the sake of “history”.

It’s really amazing with all the problems in this country that is actually hurting Americans like lack of health insurance, homelessness, shrinking of the middle class, depression, increase of suicide rates, loneliness, mass incarceration, elimination of female bodily autonomy, poverty, rise of the far right, threat of more coup attempts, police brutality, teachers being underpaid, schools teaching revisionist history, and the immigration crises, wokeness is the boogeyman we need to fight back against. Bro please 🙄

@SupHapCak Petty gratification at my fingertips for simply stating in opinion on a public platform? Where I’m not even making any personal attacks against the speaker, just the points they are making that I disagree with? While you feel the need to defend said person when they aren’t even being personally attacked. Which shows you greatly admire them and get mad when someone is arguing with their points you already agree with. So I must ask, who’s really the one getting the gratification through their fingertips, because evidence points to you. And while I agree that the problems I listed aren’t exclusive to America you completely missed the point of my comment. Wilkins is making the claim that America was better as opposed to now listing things like addiction, depression, and escapism being the thing that caused us to lose our way. But that has always been an issue in America, while not exclusive to America, no other country promotes over indulgence, addiction, escapism, and consumerism and greed like the US. Never have and never will.

@itmanager1449 Again, that is xenophobic and racist/white supremacists talking points you are making because you are arguing with the pre conceived narrative that DEI wants to eliminate white people, when that isn’t the case at all. Wanting to be represented and connected with other people of different cultures doesn’t eliminate whiteness or any other race.
You are scared of people of color and immigrants mixing and living in this country because you have subscribed to the white replacement theory.
But here’s the fact here, literally all of “American cultures” is just a giant mix of culture from all over the world and that’s how it’s been since this country’s founding. And DEI makes countries strong as it spread and creates new ideas, and leads to faster innovation and development of a nation, and the most successful nations in history were diverse or accepted new ideas from people outside their borders and traded with them and had them in their nation.
Diversity doesn’t alienate people especially not white people it strengthens understanding, friendship, and makes a nations stronger as diversity is a strength not a weakness.
And I have a feeling that once you read this you are probably going to make the classic Japan homogeneous argument, and all I say is don’t. You really don’t want to go their because I will Ether that argument to the Shadow Realm, because it is a very weak, ignorant, and just silly argument based on no knowledge in Japan history, and current economic issues it is facing because of the lack of Diversity.

Here’s my take on this. Yes he’s been knocked down instantly by powerful punchers with lights out KO power and has gotten back up do to his strong chin and recovery. But here’s the problem with your argument. Fury no matter if he was being instantly knocked down by a powerful puncher, had stamina to keep going and always had more stamina than the power punching heavyweights he’s faced to outbox them after recovering and ultimately win the match. But with Usyk it’s different because the type of damage Fury had to deal with was not the same. As he was facing a fast, high volume punching, skilled out boxer who could get past his defenses and land clean fast shot after clean fast shot and had more stamina than him. That type of accumulative damage takes its toll over time and drains a boxer as they are in pain, exhausted, and more susceptible to taking more and more hits in the later rounds until they no longer have that much in the tank, making them open for a powerful KO blow.
To put this in perspective look at George Foreman. Besides his power he had one of the toughest chins of any heavyweight of all time. He took the best punches from Frazier and Norton and KO’d them easily, and went through a hard punching knockdown war with Lyle who was able to down Foreman multiple times with his bombs of punches but Foreman got back up from those flash knockdowns and impose his power against Lyle and hitting him with his bombs of punches, KOing him. But what happened when he went up against high volume punching, high stamina, always moving outboxers like Ali and Young. Both men overtaxed Foreman’s stamina while also hitting him with fast and strong shots over the course of a long fight to the point that Foreman was hurt and exhausted, and ultimately lost to the both of them. Ali KO’d him, and Young downed him and ultimately won via UD leaving Foreman more visibly hurt and in trouble than he was against Lyle despite Lyle being a way harder puncher than both Young and Ali.
So honestly I think Usyk would have KO’d fury as the accumulative damage was unlike we’ve seen Fury deal with before.

@jeffburman7832 We don’t give the government monopoly, we give the top one percent monopoly. The way we do things only benefits the ultra wealthy while the poor stay poor. We can afford it but our law makers simply choose not to. What I’m suggesting is literally implemented in every rich 1st world nation.
And we are the only ones who don’t and we have the worst stats of any rich nation. We have on of the lowest life expectancy, worst health outcomes despite having the most money invested in privatized healthcare, the most gun crimes, most people in prison mostly of non violent drug offenses, prisons that are privatized so that it creates incentive for private investors to push law makers on passing even more harsh laws to make it easier to arrest people and create more prisoner to fill up private prisons and making the owners a massive profit in bodies and slave labor, highest infant mortality rates, 62% of Americans livinng paycheck to paycheck, homelessness epidemic, ect.
We have plenty of money to spend billions if not trillions on military spending and initiate proxy wars across the globe, but we somehow can’t afford to create government programs, and social policies to deal with these systemic issues?
Give me a break.

@jeffburman7832 Again, this isn't about saying health insurance automatically mean everybody will automatically be health 100% nut statistically speaking, it will prolong life expectance and get people the health that they need. And I don't have a problem with people being wealthy, my problem is when policies always benefit the wealth and screw over the middle class and poor.
And blaming video games on gun crime? Really? I love that people like you will put blame on anything regarding gun violence except the obvious. Lack of gun regulation and background checks making it easier for anyone to get a gun.
And as for the foods we eat there is some truth in what you say in the chemicals put in food, however that isn't the number one cause for our low life expectancy. CVD, due to whole bunch of issues like obesity, poor diet, alcohol consumption and all of that. However, other countries have similar problems to, however, have longer life expectancies on average due to quality health care paid by the government, as well as better access to quality food than us. Statistics don't agree with you here.
As for nonviolent drug offenses, I think there needs to be a complete overhaul of the US justice system. 1. Drugs shouldn't be a criminal issue it should be a public health issue, and it has proven that decriminalizing drug use and focusing finding on helping people with addiction lowered frug uses national. This was done in Portugal and drug use, OD's, STD spreads via unclean needles, all went down and has been working for Portugal ever since and has been credited by the UN as tremendous humanitarian success. Furthermore, our prisons do not deter people from committing crime nor does it stop felons from reoffending when they get out. Countries that have the lowest reoffending rate are the ones who actually help prisoners build skills in prison so they can actually become productive member of society and treat them with respect. Treat prisoners like animals and that's all they will be when they get out at the cost of innocent victims who are unlucky enough to come across them at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Also removing privatized prison to remove the incentive to create laws to make it easier to imprison people will be nothing but a net benefit. The government would be Soley in charge of the prison system not private companies. Nor should prisoners be forced to work via little pay. Or other cases no pay. Which is legalized slavery by definition.
And knowing how to spend money means shit when people don't even have access to quality education about the concept of money, especially if you were born poor unlike other countries that do this at the high school level or even lower.
So don't give all of this bootlicking crap when you don't have a single clue what you are talking about.

@jeffburman7832 As for fisr world countries I am referring to, literally the vast majority of them. Canada, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Norway, Denmark, UK, Sweden, Finland, Japan, ect. The list goes on and on.

@jeffburman7832 Again, you can pull the whole “if you don’t like it than leave” bs. But at the end of the day. Our way doesn’t work. And yes exercise and diet leads to better health. But for those who are sick, people shouldn’t be forced to pay hundreds and thousand of dollars worth of insulin. Or any other mediation. People should not go bankrupt to pay Medicare bills. You keep saying that health insurance doesn’t guarantee health. Yes, no kidding. But universal healthcare insures better health outcomes for those with both preventable and purely genetic diseases across the boards and insured people live longer and get access to the healthcare they need. So you saying that health insurance not insuring health is a irrelevant point.
And try he number one reason for Canadians moving to the US has absolutely zero to do with health insurance. That is a bunch of cap. The number one reason that Canadians move to the US are mostly for highly educated Canadian individuals looking for business opportunities, reuniting with relatives who live there, or older Canadians who are retired looking to live in a warmer climate. Again, these are higher echelon Canadians immigrating here who have all the money in the world to pay for our healthcare system with no problems. Not average Canadians. No common man Canadian is moving to the US, for US healthcare when there’s is better.
And it’s funny that you say that those countries would close theirs doors from people who want to move their to “take advantage of their health benefits” and yet almost all Europeans nations take in more immigrants.
And I am not asking for a genie to change everything. This is going to take time and effort by the people and government along with law makers and economists and financial experts to come up with the strategy as to how to initiate this change.
But all change requires effort. Your way is just accept the status quo, but sorry man more and more Americans are getting sick of the status quo, and want change now.
And our current system already pays billions upon trillions on a current system that isn’t working so you saying that it would cost a lot to change things, is dumb. Because opposed to what? This system that we live in that has failed.
Get out of here dude. Your arguments are illogical and flaws. And the countries that I mentioned do not have a long waiting list. Everyone is insured via tax dollars which pay for that systems. And you are pulling this out of your ass. Because if those systems are statistically outperforming us. The yes those systems are superior to ours. Everyone is insured, they are not forced to pay premiums health insurance, they are not put on a waiting list, the medicines they buy range from 50-100$ in the store, compared to the 500-2000’s dollars in the US.
People in these nations have a better quality of living with a superior healthcare system. So again, all of your points are irrelevant.

@bradhuskers Because the Republican Party that cut taxes for the rich and increase them for the middle class, support union busting, sell out to multi billion dollar corporations, forces Christianity on to people through policies like allowing states not to educate students about sex Ed or that lgbtq people exist, allow states to teach revisionist history about slavery, allow states to outlaw female bodily autonomy, fear monger about minorities, support corrupt police departments, lie to Americans that our soldiers are dying overseas because they are protecting when in reality are just serving corporate oil interest, destabilizing sovereign nations, supporting dictatorships and apartheid states across the globe, signing laws that causes mass incarceration, approving of lax gun laws that lead to the deaths of hundreds of kids in schools, demonize immigrants for coming here when it is their policies that have caused that crises, supporting military groups that end up becoming terrorists that kill innocent people, and supporting a racist proto fascist president that whipped his base into a frenzy to attempt a coup to overturn a fair election is definitely not corrupt… not at all. STFU bootlicker

@albionmyl7735 You don’t have evidence so there is no God. And more people have killed in the name of God than almost for any other reason.
Murder, slavery, grape, torture, mass burnings, imprisonment, the exploitation of women, murder of children, improvement, theft, countless wars throughout the centuries and millennia, all in the name of a fictional God who regardless of the religion especially Christianity, committed the very same sins that he apparently forbids.
So sorry, you don’t need God to be moral. As his morality is full of contradictions. And there is no evidence for such a being so why would any logical person believe in him?
Keep your superstitions to yourself.

Then you didn’t see the full fight as Usyk won rounds 1,2,8,9 plus a knockdown, 10, 11, and 12
While Fury only outlanded Usyk in the middle rounds of 3,4,5,6, and 7. Usyk won that fight.

@yermy682 "Use all his gas to try to keep up with Fury" bro you are delusional. If anybody is going to use up his gas to keep up its Fury with Usyk. Fury is fast for a man of his size, key phrase "for a man of his size" but compared to Usyk, and great heavyweights before him, Fury is slow af. And Fury can't lean on Usyk because Usyk is going to move around that ring all night. And stoppage? Fury has little to no power and his stoppages is usually when bigger and slower opponents lose stamina, like Ali beating Foreman. But that isn't going to work on Usyk who has phenomenal endurance. Way more efficient than Fury. And Fury is not all that unpredictable, if he was truly unpredictable and hard to read, he wouldn't have been knocked down and caught lacking so many times in his career, by lesser skilled opponents than Usyk. For fucks sake, how many times was Fury knocked down by Wilder who has absolutely no boxing skills or fundamentals, just a right hand. You want to call AJ a "predictable boxer", Fury got laid out by the most unskilled predictable boxer ever multiple times. Fury got knocked down by guys like Steve Cunnigham who is the same height as Usyk but nowhere near as skilled. Fury literally got knocked down by Ngannou, who has no boxing experience what's so ever.
unpredictable my ass.
You can call me an Usyk fan boy if you want, but in reality, I'm a fan of good boxing. And Fury is an alright decent boxer but is overrated. None of Fury's tricks are going to be enough to beat someone like Usyk.
And Fury is not stopping Usyk in round seven. Usyk winning by UD/SD.

I feel that people need to understand that is isn't "fat shaming" or whatever bs "body positivity" narrative being pushed in social media. This food is killing people especially our brothers and sisters in the black community. I'm 22 and less then a year ago I was 390 lbs just 10 lbs away from being 400lbs. My relationship with food was that of comfort. When I was board, I'd eat, sad I'd eat, angry I'd eat. On top of that I already had a severe family history of high blood preassure, diabetics, heart disease, colon cancer, and early death. If things couldn't be worse on top of that I have GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) and my stress levels will make my blood preassure rise. All of this when not managed is a recipe for an early grave and I knew I had to make a change. I don't want to make this about me, my point is that these foods a not good for us and it will shorten our lives by a significant margin and affect our quality of life. This is especially true for minority communities and Americans in general with our fast food diet and our love for processed meat and refined carbs and lack of veggies and fruit which clog up our arteries. A year ago, when I see the Mcdonalds, Popeyes, Chinese Food, and Pizza Hut in my town I only saw fast food places. Now, I see nothing more than crack houses for addicts to get there next fix over and over again until they sooner or later OD (heart attack) Get active, eat healthier, talk to someone if you have depresssion and have an unhealthy relationship with food. I'm 306 now but I still got ways to go to be truly healthy. We only have one life and we should take the best care of ourselves the best we can.

No, Usyk out landed Fury in more rounds in my opinion.
Usyk won rounds 1,2,8,9, plus a knockdown,10,11, and 12
While Fury won the middle rounds 3,4,5,6, and 7. Close but Usyk definitely won more rounds.

@DarthRevan7235 1. Economic Contributions
Legal and undocumented immigrants both:
• Fill essential jobs in industries like agriculture, construction, hospitality, food service, and elder care—often in roles that American citizens are unwilling to do at the same wages or conditions.
• Increase demand for goods and services, which boosts local economies. More people = more spending = more jobs created.
• Start businesses at high rates, contributing to entrepreneurship and innovation. Immigrants own nearly 1 in 5 small businesses in the U.S.
⸻
2. Tax Contributions
• Undocumented immigrants still pay taxes—yes, seriously.
• They pay sales taxes, property taxes (directly or through rent), and often pay payroll taxes using ITINs or false SSNs.
• The Social Security Administration estimates that undocumented workers contribute billions annually to Social Security—even though they’ll never collect benefits.
• Legal immigrants, of course, also pay income taxes, property taxes, and payroll taxes just like any other citizen.
Total contribution by undocumented immigrants in state & local taxes (as of 2021): over $11 billion/year.
⸻
3. Population Growth & Demographic Stability
• Immigrants help balance the aging U.S. population. Without them, the U.S. would face a much sharper decline in working-age adults—a problem already hitting Japan and parts of Europe.
• They support entitlement programs (like Social Security and Medicare) by increasing the number of people working and paying in.
⸻
4. Innovation and Education
• Immigrants are behind many of America’s greatest companies and inventions.
• Think Google (Sergey Brin), Tesla (Elon Musk), Intel (Andy Grove).
• Many immigrants (and children of immigrants) excel in STEM fields, higher education, and medicine.
• International students and high-skilled immigrants help the U.S. remain competitive globally.
⸻
5. Crime Rates Are Lower, Not Higher
• Despite common myths, undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born citizens, according to FBI and multiple academic studies.
• Areas with higher immigration tend to have lower crime rates overall.
⸻
6. Cultural Contributions
• Immigrants enrich American culture—through food, music, art, language, traditions, and more.
• They bring resilience, diverse perspectives, and strong community bonds—many becoming deeply involved in local churches, schools, and neighborhoods.
⸻
What About Costs?
Yes, immigrants—especially undocumented ones—can put some strain on public services, like healthcare or schools in certain areas. But study after study has shown that:
• The long-term economic benefits outweigh the short-term costs.
• Most immigrants (even undocumented) use fewer benefits than native-born citizens.
• Children of immigrants tend to climb the economic ladder quickly, integrating and contributing just as much (or more) as native-born families.
⸻
Bottom Line:
Immigrants—both legal and undocumented—are not a drain.
They are workers, taxpayers, entrepreneurs, and community members who contribute in ways that are often invisible or unrecognized, but deeply vital to the country’s economy and social fabric.
