So supporting them by giving them money? How exactly are they actually impacted from a European children's book author?

Is she taking all that hate she has and money she's making and preventing them from doing anything? She hunting people down? She attacking people? Assaulting them? She preventing people from doing anything?

No? She's not? She's just being a big meany on Twitter? Because what was it that set it off again and why she's hated? She said that people who menstruate are called women? The absolutely diabolical savage! How could she do such a thing!?

There is a world outside Vermont, there's a whole lot of subreddits that aren't Vermont-centric too. Probably should post relevant content to relevant subs.

I called it a sitcom joke for a reason.

They're out of place when trying to ride the coat tails of a Harry Potter video game that's has nothing to do with Vermont.

There is nothing Vermont about it.

We shot down a balloon from China, you can buy balloons at Party City in Vermont, should that be a post. It's about a store in Vermont having balloons, completely unrelated, but it's balloons!

It's because it's a ridiculous connection.

So that tweet, someone said something that was meant to be shitty towards her and she made the classic sitcom joke about laughing to the bank.....

If anyone's life in Vermont is actually impacted by Rowling and her mean mean tweets, I'd be shocked. Maybe stop paying attention to people you hate?

So Rowling is performing hate speech and it's actively hurting Vermonters?

I'll assume, maybe a bad assumption, but I'll assume, 99.89% of Vermonters have never been forced to met her, read anything she's written that's hate speech, or had to listen to her talk.

So not sure how they are suffering from an author from Europe.

Did you see the movie All Quiet on the Western Front? Remember that there is a history organization in Vermont and they talk about WWI too! Don't forget to smash that donate button and subscribe!

Very easy to connect something to something local and still be completely irrelevant.

I also was wondering about her involvement with the videogame, I assumed it was nothing, but I didn't actually look it up.

Because riding the current trend, that has nothing to do with Vermont in order to get money, is bullshit.

Pride Center, is great. I don't know anything about other organization, so can't speak to that, but this isn't Vermont related.

I also understand localizing news, but again, nothing to do with Vermont.

Here's a story about a guy and a scooter, we should petition to get more scooters in Vermont! Localizing something unrelated to Vermont and still doesn't belong here.

People have no problem reading through the comma and just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean they're dumb.

Harry Potter has nothing to do with Vermont. Rowling, which this is actually about, has nothing to do with Vermont.

If you think the small connection of, she said mean things and Vermont has a LGBT community is a strong enough connection for this, you're insane.

Could connect anything to Vermont if using that as the standard.

Food service and everything to go with it, not delivery drivers.....again taking a larger group and comparing it to smaller, but ok.

I wouldn't withhold anything. Send in cops to get the guy, it's their job and part of what they signed up to do, but hoping for that outcome is fucked up.

Well for one, your original comment was unrelated rambling.

Two, way to site your source. I'm sure the actual stat is transportation/drivers/delivery drivers, which includes a lot more than your everyday pizza delivery guy. I'm sure you're not purposely being misleading.

For another follow-up, a little bit of difference from dying in a car crash vs. actively going after someone with a gun. Dying is dying, but acting like a car crash is the same as people shooting at each other, give me a break.

I generally pick up own pizza though, less waiting and cheaper.

No! Get out of here with reason! Insufferably outrage without information is needed!

From a couple articles, it would prevent minors from being on public lands with a gun without adult supervison, so yes, that summary from articles would prevent hunting.

That means from the time I was 14-18, I wouldn't have been able to hunt by myself.

I set it up? Fire away.

I didn't say he was right. I wrote that he wasn't fired for that based on an article....nothing to do with him being right. I said he wasn't fired for....what did you say....oh, being white. And to take it further, wasn't fired because of the video.

An ad hominem would be saying you're a dumbass for believing it that without actual proof.

To perform another ad hominem, you're a dumbass if you think that one page document says quotas. I didn't seem to catch racial quotas anywhere there.....almost like it's not breaking the law.

Oh, and is the teachers union the school making the hiring decisions? Oh, they're not? Because the teachers union isn't in charge of UVM....so a union and say things it wants....because it's not the hiring authority? Holy shit! Glad we could come to that realization together to figure out the teachers union isn't UVM!
