People already have there was an airline with the exact same kind of scandal and they lost the court case pretty soundly.

I mean it would probably be such a pain in the ass to ship weed down there I doubt anyone who works there would bother.

The long standing definitions of the word that don't necessitate that you can only be proud of things you've personally done seem like plenty good reason to me. National pride isn't an excuse to be an asshole or a bigot or to oppress people, but national pride has never been necessary for people to exhibit that sort of behaviour. Being proud of your origins and your roots and where you've come from is not inherently a bad thing if you're mindful about it. And just because you don't personally feel proud of your own roots, and I'm sure your reasons for feeling that way are perfectly legitimate, that doesn't mean you have to project your personal feelings towards your own roots on other people who feel differently about theirs.

It does when the lawsuits start rolling in and they lose customers.

There is nothing in the definitions of pride that necessitates it either, so yes including if you care about what it actually means rather than what you want it to mean. If you look up the definition of the word it includes multiple definitions of pride that do not require your own personal accomplishments or actions, and those are not new definitions. It's extremely common in the English language for a word to have multiple meanings depending on the context they're used in that may be connected but are not necessarily the same.

It makes you no more statistically likely to get murdered in one over the other. It may seem counterintuitive on a surface level because 80 is more than 4, but 1 million is also more than 50k.

Not if they're just straight up wrong about the definition.

It's the only right opinion in that picket line, but the fact that it's grouped with the antisemitic shit is just a show of how the right views Palestine. Never mind all the Jewish people who support freeing Palestine too ๐Ÿ™„

Better hope that first attempt doesn't succeed.

That's actually not true, there are quite a lot of cells in our bodies which are never replaced such as the lenses, cones, and rods in our eyes, egg cells, neurons, the hairs that detect sound in our ears, our heart muscles, among many others. The ones that do get replaced vary greatly in how long that takes or how often it happens.

Which is ironic because the progressive ideal is to leave the concept of "normal" behind entirely and embrace new different things instead of excluding those who are different.
