You’d better believe that Putin sees that in Syria, Obama draws a red line and ignores the red line.
I was really grateful that The Vixen, especially, was on season 10 because she was having conversations about race. You can’t ignore it, especially in the drag community, in the ‘Drag Race’ world.
While other state governments stiff their vendors, close parks, delay tax refunds, and ignore unacceptably poor service levels, Indiana state employees are setting national standards for efficiency.
As president, Governor Romney would handle the Syrian conflict much differently. A President Romney would not ignore a growing conflict in a dangerous region involving allies the way Obama has, especially when chemical weapons could possibly be used.
Men mostly ignore taking care of their skin. I think a weekly scrub and a face pack for every man is a must to get rid of all the pollution, dirt and grime.
Science trumps magical thinking: there was a reason the Incas called their mercury mine ‘la mina de los muertos,’ the mine of the dead. Building a life and a community upon principles that ignore such realities is doomed to fail.
I have come to understand that my hatred of the gym was based on fear and prejudice, a tribal resistance to science, to improvement. But to ignore my aging physicality and not try and become the strongest and fittest I can be is curmudgeonly at best and wilfully ignorant at worst.
The main actors on the world stage are the size of continents, be they nation states or voluntary groupings of nation states such as the E.U. Nostalgia can help us ignore these harsh realities for a while, but it will not make them go away.
Strong moral arguments exist for why we should often try to ignore stereotypes or override them. But we shouldn’t assume they represent some irrational quirk of the unconscious mind. In fact, they’re largely the consequence of the mind’s attempt to make a rational decision.
The Chinese government clearly does pay attention to public opinion expressed on the Internet – the extent to which they choose to adapt their practices based on it, or ignore it, seems to vary.
One should not tolerate anything wrong. One should raise his/her voice against the wrongdoings. Don’t ignore, just call out.
Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.
When I played and got abused by another player, called a ‘black so and so,’ I always said ‘that’s out of order’ but I tried to ignore it. I’d be thinking: ‘You’re not going to bring me down to that level.’ But there were occasions when something was said and the next tackle went in a lot firmer.
When we think of the myth of the settling of the West, this is our creation myth. But because we think of it as mythology, not as real people interacting with other real people, we ignore the cost of human lives and blood.
Then you have to be with somebody who understands your job. Understands there are gonna be dollybirds going, ‘Hi I’m Candy,’ and be prepared to ignore that. And also be prepared to be there when you get home. That’s a difficult job.
If you have doubt about a person’s humility or smarts, don’t ignore it. More often than not, there is something causing that doubt.
We had such a huge fan base, they couldn’t ignore us anymore. MTV was playing us on ‘TRL.’ We even did a TRL-sponsored tour that was Good Charlotte and us.
I have learnt not to ignore instincts. While making a film, when your gut feels that you are going wrong, please take that seriously.
My father died from a heart attack. He was the sort of person who wouldn’t complain. The symptoms are not heavy – a bit of chest pain, arm strain, or indigestion. People ignore those symptoms because they think it’s trivial. Don’t feel afraid to come forward.
The Internet now provides an immediate and very clear consensus of what it is that the audience is experiencing. It’s something that you should never let lead you, and yet at the same time, you should never ignore it.
People in Scunthorpe don’t care what I say. And I’m not camp, either. I’m a geezer. I’m not a raving queer, I’ve got a bit of character. I just ignore people who shout at me in the street. I just stick my head in the air; I’m not interested.
I just ignore those who say negative comments against me. Whether I’m doing right or wrong, they would still say the same things against me.
In fact, even the current administration now is releasing recent reports indicating that climate change is real, that global warming is occurring, that it is heavily influenced by man-made objects and that it is something we cannot ignore any longer.
Yes, I do often write poems from the mind, but I hope I don’t ignore feelings and emotions.
Every year, the World Economic Forum decides on a theme for its meeting of the world’s elite in Davos, Switzerland. Usually, it’s highfalutin nonsense that no one understands and everyone ignores.
It doesn’t seem to matter how often vaccines are proved safe or supplements are shown to offer nothing of value. When people don’t like facts, they ignore them.
One should never ignore or be afraid of reporting or calling out a harasser. There is no shame in doing so.
We pass people in the street and ignore them when they’re clearly suffering. It makes you wish we could all feel when someone needs something.
The business of fiction is the study of the human condition, and gender is something that many humans are obsessed with, thus making it rather difficult to ignore when studying the human condition!
Of our relation to all creation we can never know anything whatsoever. All is immensity and chaos. But, since all this knowledge of our limitations cannot possibly be of any value to us, it is better to ignore it in our daily conduct of life.
We ignore slow environmental changes unless they are crisis-driven, such as hurricanes in Florida.
Influence is a very unpleasant subject and I deal with it in a maybe irresponsible way, which is to really ignore it. It would be a nightmare if we started to really think about it; it would tie our hands, it would tie everyone else’s hands.
All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible.
The reason why Whitehall is full of people failing in predictable ways on an hourly basis is because, first, there is general system-wide failure and, second, everybody keeps their heads down focused on the particular and they ignore the system.
The vast diversity of looks from the 80s are why we mustn’t ignore it completely, there is plenty to build a modern and relevant wardrobe around, and I am enthusiastically kicking my leg warmers in the air in its defence.
You can’t write about the past and ignore religion. It was such a fundamental, mind-shaping, driving force for pre-modern societies. I’m very interested in what religion does to us – its capacity to create love and empathy or hatred and violence.
A risk for a poet-novelist is imbalance: The poems can flatten into prose or lose their intensity of focus; the novels can stall amid lofty writing or literary preciousness and ignore the engine of plot and character.
The issue of the Betrayal was so central to that, I felt the need to comment upon it. My choices were to ignore the games and put them ‘outside’ of continuity or to integrate them. I chose the latter.
Mostly, I would like people to ask other writers about the craft of their writing so we could learn from one another. We ask movie directors why they chose to use certain lights and angles and speeds of film, but most of the time, we ignore the craft of a writer.
I’ve hit a couple barriers out there on the racetrack growing up. There’s definitely been some flak in the way. I’ve been able to handle that the best I could, ignore it, use that as motivation.
Climate change is not an excuse for the EPA to ignore the bounds of law and issue illegal regulations that will cost jobs, shutter industries, and have little to no positive impact on the environment.
I always ignore the disgusting troll tweets I get because I honestly do not want to give them any attention.
I could go insane if I obsessed over every little detail of all of my companies. My management philosophy is to pay attention to the vital few and ignore the trivial many.
As a child, I was fascinated by any branch of physical or biological science. Even today, I find great excitement in discovering the complexity and variability of the world we live in, getting a glimpse into the deeper reality that we mostly ignore in our everyday human activities.
During the Trump years, many people felt that his antics were impossible to ignore.
Opting for conspiracy over facts and partisanship over constitutional principles, Democrats have chosen to ignore the damning evidence of wrongdoing by the Obama-era FBI.
Ultimately, and I believe this is one of the fundamental problems with socialism, it’s that human beings do have self-interest. It’s very hard to ignore that self-interest when you’re creating a government structure.
When I go to the cinema, I want to have a cinematic experience. Some people ignore the sound and you end up seeing something you might see on television and it doesn’t explore the form.
You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.
As far as Vern and I go, we have had situations where people have tried to take photographs of me and cut Vernon out or vice versa in an attempt to create a scandal. But we just try and live our lives and ignore it.
After ‘Sesame Street,’ it’s a hyper-familiar world to me and I have this childlike ability to ignore the fact that I’m talking to scraps of cloth. Every country I go to, I see posters promoting the film in different languages. ‘Los Muppets’ – I love that!
The NAACP ignores the wellspring of racism from within its own ranks, daring to brand anyone who disagrees with the standard they bear for the plantation-politics Democrats as ‘white nationalists.’
