The US has an unfortunate history of taking land from poor people and people of color for the benefit of the wealthy (see DAPL pipeline, interstate highway system, national parks creation, use of eminent domain for real estate development, etc). It's hardly surprising that a black neighborhood in New York City would have been the chosen location for Central Park.

In other words, stealing land from others is the American Way.

Yup, that was under the Democratic Mayor Fernando Wood, but then again victimizing the poor and standing against civil rights is a long standing Democratic party tradition, up to and including "Super Predator" Hillary.

Once again you prove how ill informed you are, Lorne Thomas. Time and time again you bring up the fact that people who pushed through terrible policies were democrats back in the day but you conveniently seem to always forget that the Dems and the GOP party platforms swapped before present times: livescience.com - Why Did the Democratic and Republican Parties Switch Platforms?

Republicans used to be the liberals while democrats used to be the a-holes. Now their roles are reversed. Capicse?

Jason ON oh I understand, but this guy as a point of fact is pulling a very "Super Predator" style of government, so he obviously embraced the ideals of you and the rest of the progressive trash out there.

Jason ON see what you can do about going back to school to further your education and reading comprehension in that case, the failure is once again on you.

"This guy" who?
What is a "super predator" style of government and what claim do you have that this is favored by me "and the rest of the progressive trash out there"?

See what I mean? You make no sense.

Now lets watch Jason ON back pedal and try to defend his ignorance, the lulz are epic here.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
