Benkei

Is he talking about this : https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=dcdetail&iid=251 ? Universe: Respondents aged 16 years and older to the National Crime Vic...

And how are those means and capabilities comparable? We're talking not about foreign powers clashing but citizens being murdered by the society that's...

And in 1939, 1942 or 1944? When exactly was it justified for them to attack the society murdering them with impunity?

One hopes.

You expected that because...? He doesn't want to look like a loser at any cost.

What's going on with the prosecutor Berman? He resigned but he didn't?

Piracy for the win.

Because one of them is a distraction for the other. It's good that you and I can deal with both of them as separate things and maybe not have our opin...

I don't have a lot of time so I'll just have to respond to the first part I just quoted. I have several issues with it. First, I think the effort itse...

I think your idea of engaging might be a bit off. I'd be happy to argue and discuss ideas here or to clarify posts I've made. I don't have a lot of pa...

Why don't you try and quote me where I said that? You seem to be gunning for a verbal fight or something. I'm not interested. Also, what's going on in...

Nice straw man.

Your description of war is rather unimaginative and unnecessarily restrictive. As an example, US independence was neither about subjugation nor conque...

If only that were true we wouldn't have (civil) wars. Not specifically to you but an observation of the US political landscape : I find it rather amus...

Kudos for getting through that book.

[ Not to deflect but these things are egregious and Bolton never thought to whistleblow but instead wrote a book about it? Why?

New and improved?

He couches it in rhetorical questions but it's pretty clear. Read the transcript. It's easier to spot bad argumentation that way.

Shelby Steele more or less says in that interview that "blacks" don't have the right value system to deal with freedom and the responsibility that com...

So there was an anti antifa protest in the Netherlands. Am I to infer these people are in favour of fascism? :shade:

The escalation of this situation can in each instance be laid at the feet of Officer Rolfe. Rayshards and Brosnan are doing quite well. They are borth...

Ernestm is talking nonsense. First of, Floyd's criminal record is totally irrelevant as they are not factual circumstances that contributed to his dea...

An older discussion that seems to be relevant to this discussion as well: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/409/disproportionate-rates-of-poli...

I get why only 16% supports your version of defund the police. But defund the police, as has already been explained to you several times here, is not ...

Who are these?

Talk about easily falsifiable claims. About 100 from 460 were rehire.

Funny how you talk about enforcement. I thought it was to protect and serve. How does that equate/translate to enforce? Like in any crisis, there's so...

Shame. He was capable of decent posts.

As his reply illustrated, your efforts are wasted.

That's one theory. But then how complicated is voting that you need an education to do it? Or that an education differential causes a large difference...

Does voter suppression have to be intentional? But it does look like incompetence from what I saw. It's just typical that although it affected everyon...

Did you manage to vote? I saw some crazy waiting lines on the Daily Show.

What's weird to me is that in the US people who can afford it go and see their psychiatrists en masse on a weekly basis to deal with their individual ...

On the basis of their skin colour? I'll clarify by saying that my article did not preclude class injustices.

It's like shooting yourself in the leg instead of the heart. :naughty:

I've been called sleazy, a racist, dishonest, stupid, unforgivable and a moron for asking questions and then I make a joke and I'm a "thug". Fuck you ...

In fact, just talking about sex probably is how babies are made!

You can't talk about the poor, man. Because that makes the idea of poverty important and that's really what causes poverty. What a fucking joke.

They don't need a knee from people in the capitol but legislation.

I never ever heard of the Tulsa and Rosewood massacres until last week. This is one of the shorter clips taking into account people's attention spans ...

To the point and funny at the same time. Also why I watch the Daily Show. In general I think artful commentary is usually ahead of the curve. Even "ma...

So you've got a model and expected variables that aren't in your model? In other words, you have a shit model. Cool.

Why are we talking statistics?

I'm not sure it's selfish. I doubt most people know about it and even then, the really poor can't afford either the Pixel 3 or the fairphone 3. Totall...

You just referred to race. Don't think about a pink elephant.

Defund is not disband. So you're beating down a straw man and you've been doing that a lot in this thread and other threads on racism. Your bad experi...

:chin: The issue you're talking about is poverty, right? You bought a fairphone because it buys materials from non-conflict zones and uses manufacture...

How do you propose to change consumer preferences in such a way that people will be willing to spend more on a product because they know the product i...

I'm sure Bolsonaro has such disdain for the poor, he probably experiences it as culling the herd.
