Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Good idea.

While we're in a returning things mood, France needs to pay back the "reparations" it made Haiti pay to France for no longer being French slaves. Several trillion in today's currency.

Truthfully? They're not wrong to want it back.

There's (for now) a plaque at the base with a poem stating "give us your tired, give us your poor". Clearly not the attitude our government and a large portion of our population has, right now.

I can only hope we'll remember how immigration built this country before they simply remove the plaque.
