The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That's a clear violation of the Naval Academy honor code.

Honor codes mean nothing to you, the rest of MAGA, Jedi, etc.

o·mer·tà (as practiced by the Mafia) a code of silence about criminal activity and a refusal to give evidence to authorities.

It is not Omerta. Are you saying the Naval Academy is a criminal enterprise? Mikie: "The culture at the time emphasized personal integrity over a "nor tolerate" clause, which meant she was not obligated to "snitch" on others. She has also cited a general military culture of loyalty and unit cohesion as a factor in her decision.

Now you are completely submerged in a culture that demands one way loyalty to fearless leader, who sics the DOJ on anyone who crosses him and you bring up a cheating scandal? School stuff? We are struggling to maintain a democracy while you condone the breakdown of all norms? You really do not understand what is going on around you, nor understand your own double think, hypocrisy, and betrayal of your countrymen.

Back to the ploink.
