The word "federalism" does not suffice as a justification of federalism.

Couldn't there just be separate SFW and NSFW screenshot areas?

Yeah I'm a pro-gun commie pinko leftist.

lol Pretty good. Pretty goddamn good.

That would be pretty sweet if it were true (since basically you'd never lose coverage) but AFAIK the transmitter in your phone isn't powerful enough for that. That's not to say it couldn't severely fuck up communication networks, but the impact would be on a large scale (international...

lol Sorry I guess I could have said that less combatively. In any case, your cell phone is not a satellite phone.

You do understand that your cell phone doesn't go out to space when it makes calls, right?

Do they live overseas or something?

I remember liking it when I saw it the first time in the theater and then I watched it again and realized I just wasn't able to take in all of the shitty plastic looking "details" with a giant screen so close to my face.

Yeah, the holodeck was the biggest goddamn writer's crutch ever. Very cool conceptually, but also super cheap.

Having a semi-psychic "counselor" that can tell you when people are lying to you seems to be a pretty good idea to me.

That is widely considered to be one of (if not) the shittiest episodes of any star trek series. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Thre...nd_Information

They sarcastically throw around the 19,400 miles figure without taking note that that's well within the distance needed to destroy a fuck-ton of satellites.

It reminded me of that shitty fight scene with the dozens of Smiths in the 2nd Matrix movie. Couldn't look more fake and stupid.

He used shoes too. OH SHIT I'M WEARING SHOES RIGHT NOW

tl;dr: don't get medical advice from strangers on the internet

You declare a thumb war?

I just saw Jon Stewart make precisely that argument.

If it had factored into your voting process what would have been the result besides Obama? Letting the party that will do literally everything in its power to prevent single payer from EVER happening because of HERPDERPSOCIALISMZ!!!1 to gain MORE of an ability to prevent the U.S. from entering...

Yeah it's become a trendy thing for people to say "laugh track" a million times when talking about this show but that's not actually true. None of the laughter is canned, but occasionally they'll mix some of the laughter from different takes (since, by the time they get it right the audience...

I actually did read it; I just like harassing GA. You're right, though. If you peel back the crazy, there is a decent lesson there. However, you could learn the same lesson by looking at the lessons of the black army (making the argument genuinely populist instead of this reactionary...

Lost all credibility as soon as it called the U.S. socialist and implied that that would be a bad thing.

So this kind of gets to why my jimmies were so rustled before. It isn't even necessary to be self-conscious about these stats in the first place. There's a very basic ethical argument to be made: it's ridiculous to tell each and every responsible gun owner that they're not allowed to have...

I agree 100%.

I'm choosing the one that's obviously true, given that he makes no mention whatsoever of any confounding factors besides race.

lol ok dude. I think we're firmly into the territory of games now.

What do you think his implication is when he says "So considering the relative population make up of blacks and hispanics, their murder rate is vastly out of proportion to white peoples."? What do you think he means for us to draw from that? That it's actually poverty (or the desperation...

If you don't want to sound racist, you should leave out that "however" part because it insinuates that, in some way, the presence of minorities is at all to be blamed.

Here's a question: is anyone operating with a definition of "diversity" that doesn't mean "the presence of a large proportion of people who are not members of the majority (in this instance, whites)"? Because when I hear "the problem is the presence of a large proportion of people who are not...

I rest my case.

Yeah but that's not what he said. He said the problem is diversity (not poverty and not racism). In fact, he directly attributed the cause of racism to diversity (and not...you know...ignorance or whatever).

I already know the answer you would give to this question (it's obvious from the framing of the debate). You're talking to someone smarter than you. Playing coy is a waste of everyone's time.

.

Do you understand the difference between correlation and causation and how that problem is relevant to the question of the difference in violence statistics between the US and Canada?

The fact that you're not intellectually honest enough to directly address my direct and explicit justifications for that claim isn't my problem.

Yes or no, do you think what he said was racist?

.

Also the idea that hispanics should be counted as "whites" is pretty dumb. Race is already only social construct. Hispanics are treated differently than the majority because of the color of their skin. That's sufficient for any scientifically valid definition of race.

It has to do with desperation.
