Water from a tap in the Lake District is also ****ing glorious. Tastes like pure health. But it's also a genuine luxury to breathe up there, every breath is a wonder. You forget how gross London is until you step off the train and then realise what you've been missing.
What does "pure health" taste like?

I don't doubt white privilege used to be a thing. Used to be, being the key thing there.Now it seems it is more class that nets you privilege as opposed to "I'm a f*cking white male".
A White ex-con has a better chance of being hired than a Black male college graduate.
What do you attribute this to?

It's weird. Water can be the greatest thing ever when your thirsty, but if you are drinking it casually it can be terrible. lol
Indeed. I played a lot of sports, never had any issue drinking it when needed.
But otherwise? I won't drink it unless there is nothing else around to drink and all the stores are closed.
Originally posted by socool8520I'm actually a fan of sparkling water. At first I begrudgingly switched to it from soda/fizzy drinks, but after a while I learned to really enjoy it.

I'm tan. I've been mistaken for middle eastern a few times.
and you're going to pretend that you are living proof that young afro-americans are not disproportionately profiled,
despite irrefutable proof in documented police policy? because you're kinda tan-ish? k i think we're done here.

Right so, where are you getting this? A google search lead me only to this:
http://www.dmiblog.com/archives/2007/09/white_convicts_as_likely_to_be.html
"In the largest and most comprehensive project of its kind to date, 13 young male applicants, presenting the same qualifications and experience, split into teams and went on nearly 3,500 entry-level job interviews with private companies in supposedly left-leaning, "progressive", multicultural New York City, jobs ranging from restaurants to manufacturing to financial services. After recording which applicants were invited back for interviews or were offered jobs, two sociology professors looked at the hiring practices of 1,500 prospective private employers, focusing specifically on discrimination against young male minorities and ex-offenders.
Some of the study's findings are depressingly familiar. For instance, young white high school graduates were twice as likely to receive positive responses from New York employers as equally qualified black job seekers. It also reaffirmed not only that former prisoners are at a distinct disadvantage in the job market, but also that, again, black ex-prisoners are in a much worse position: positive responses from employers towards white applicants with a criminal record dipped 35 percent, while for black applicants similarly situated it plummeted 57 percent."
Do you feel this accurately paints a picture of the entire country?
And I won't even ask you about how it says these all happened at left leaningl/progressive companies, because that is just funny. Not funny for what was done, but funny it is the kings and queens of tolerance and diversity doing it.
