yeah I wanted to ask you more about what's going down in Puerto Rico. I might even make a thread about it. So I can educate myself while educating others. I did see John Oliver's piece about it but I want more details and it would be perfect to hear it from someone who is actually there. Your experiences matter.

I wasn't around then. And unlike the Cuban Missle Crisis, I never saw a document about it (the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party revolts of the 1950s), so I didn't know that happened till now. Closer to modern times, in 1981 the Canadian Prog band Saga caused riots in Puerto Rico while on tour there.

Well go ahead and create the thread, I haven't heard about the senate hearing. Was it positive or negative towards what PR is trying to do? or get out of?

I'll eventually make the thread once I educate myself a bit more on the matter.

The box you check says white, or the more sensitively phrased "Caucasian" (despite you probably having no relation to the people of the Caucuses region).
