When black people do it they're seen as aggressive. Aggressive or "Angry". It takes a bit of conversational judo to avoid such an appearance. I'm a big black guy. (6'2", 255 pounds) It rarely goes well for me

I can play that game too. I may be a CIS hetero male but the REAL reason he downvoted me is because I'm black, making him a racist.

You mean, it's not to take the lead in the fight against the Formics?

My fiancée's son was about 6-7 years old at the time, he was playing hide and seek with some children at his grandmother's church and he hid in a small book case. When the other kids couldn't find him, he didn't come out

If this were Slashdot(Well, the late 90s Slashdot that I knew, loved and dearly miss), there'd be people talking about Petrified Natalie Portman, Hot Grits and a Beowulf cluster of Octogenarian Alcatraz escapees. I get your point and I

I'd guess they're looking for data to include in the next article on the subject. "$X% of respondents to our poll believe that $Y." or something of the like.

Do people in your area skew towards a younger demographic? Here, widespread cable tv became dominant in the early 80s. A lot of us had to use antennas to watch local tv on the main or secondary television sets in our homes. I haven't p

Your colleagues should/could have played the game. Just sit there, in the cab. Either he takes the payment that they offer or they get to leave. As long as they're sitting in the cab, it's not making any money. Force him to d

The Constitution only provides for proportional representation in the House. There were disparities in population during ratification. This was a necessary compromise to address the concerns of the smaller states. The system is working as i

Excellent metaphor. That's precisely the kind of thing that would happen. This system was created to prevent that kind of mob rule.

The point of a Republic is to temper the temporary fashions in political thinking with adherence to inviolable principles.

I don't see the composition of the Senate as a problem. I see it as balance. More populous states get greater representation in the House. The Senate serves to prevent more populous states from steamrolling less populous states. It&#x2

There's a very good reason why we don't use the popular vote for Presidential elections. It's precisely because without the electoral college, small states would receive zero attention on national politics. Why would anyone s

I breathe a sigh of relief when I see that it's a State Trooper who has pulled me over. I have never had a negative experience with a State Trooper. One time, I was speeding and got a ticket for it but the cop was really cool about it.

LBJ was rip-roaring insane. His antics are the stuff of legend. Like the time he exposed his penis to a foreign official.

None of my friends or relatives has been killed by a police officer and even at this stage of my life I still have that "fuck the police" mindset. I'll explain. Ever since I was about 15 years old, police have treated me like

It also completely disregards that after British and Australian buy-backs, even though the number of gun homicides decreased, the total number of homicides increased.

The state does no such thing. The state regulates the killing of humans. If you forcibly enter my home with a perceived intent to harm me or my family and without any right to do so, I will kill you and never run afoul of my state's la

I don't see it that way. For example, I could make my own wine and beer at home, for my own personal use but I can't sell it without accepting government oversight.

Except that it's not your body. Of course it is. Do you feel the pain when I get stuck by a needle? If you don't get vaccinated, and you get sick, then you infect everyone else. This is a possibility. Life is risk. You don&#x

Adding conditions to commercial activity isn't the same thing as imposing conditions on existing.

And the state has a responsibility to ensure those resources are available and used efficiently Can the state be sued for failing to fulfill that responsibility? The state may well have an interest in doing that but it does not have that

Is the consumption of horse meat forbidden by law or are they using the regulatory power of the USDA to prevent the commercial slaughter of horses?

Given that the whole purpose of a state is to compel people to do things I'd argue that the purpose of the state is to prevent people from doing certain things. To illustrate, most of our laws are "Thou shall not..." versus

The anti-vaxxers would have a point even if J&J wasn't involved in shady activity. I am not an anti-vaxxer. I was vaccinated. I had my children vaccinated. I just hold the position that the power of the state shouldn't be used

I don't remember anything deplorable in Malcolm X's position. I disagree with separation of the races but it's not like he wanted to exterminate anyone.

At best, they were comparable to Malcolm X (making other groups look relatively acceptable). Malcolm filled a necessary role. If white middle America hadn't been so terrified of Malcolm, Dr. King wouldn't have been nearly as acc

That's a fairly succinct definition. There are non-profits that make millions of dollars in positive cash flow. All that term means (At least in the US) is that it doesn't ever pay dividends to shareholders. I'll be intention

Don't be too hard on journalists. Humans, in general, think you write a sheet of vague wishes that you send off to an offshore developer, who will never tell you your specifications need work, or that you need a security specialist, o
