Starter Question: Why is it people assume forgiveness equals acceptance? Why is it many, especially SJW types these days, believe ACCEPTANCE is a human right?

Forgiveness: “Generally, however, it involves a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge …” – Mayo Clinic

Acceptance: “… the action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered. The action or process of being received as adequate or suitable, typically to be admitted into a group.” – Dictionary

What are/is the bona fides of being a gangster, how do you prove yourself? How are you accepted?

And what is the only true sin? – to kill “protected” or “sacred” members of the group without approval from some greater power.

  16. Jesse: “Meth: it’s awesome: you get sharp, like action-dagger feelings”
  17. What would have happened if Jesse had stayed away from Walt after rehab
  18. Mike: “You know…Walter, sometimes it doesn’t hurt to have someone watching your back.” A reference to the Divine?

  20. We find out Jesse blew the money for the RV on strippers and blow. A comedic interlude….
  21. intellectual property vs physical property
