  1. Re:Walking While Black on App To Hold Police Instantly Accountable In Stop and Search (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Listen to this at 2:55; they're checking. What are they checking? I don't see how they can confirm that the person in front of them matches any records available to the person on the other end of the radio. Perhaps they're checking if there's a valid reason for them to take further action against a person with that name and date of birth?

    Alternative thoughts which don't appear to be rooted in a mistrust of the police?

    All involved have "maintain the status quo" as a prime motivation.

    Suck it up and try alternative means to be heard.

    Why the hell do they want to know who she is? They *seem* reasonable "pay attention to the road; use basic road-safety principles that a child would use" but then there's the "let me confirm who you are" aspect. PAPERS PLEASE!!!!

    Using that logic, unless you can prove that it's an evil thing to do, it's just a harmless prank - as everyone knows what a socially responsible organisation the KKK are, the response towards leaning the members' names will be nothing but positive.

    Uhh that seems unrelated. These ppl are assholes who harrass/intimidate/etc others using their privacy.

    Do they wear sheets so that black ppl can join-in without being discriminated against?

  8. Re:Why is diversity a goal? on NASA Study Shows Net Gains For Antarctic Ice (google.com) · · Score: 1

    Even if you don't "like" nature, you derive a tremendous number of services from it. The best way to maintain longterm comfort/longevity of humans is to make sure those systems continue to be able to perform those services.

    By that logic, everyone should have at the top of their list of best interests "look after my fellow [wo]man as we're all connected". That could be working out better.

    It's just as arbitrary as the idea that the should hold sway within the borders.

    No matter who agrees, he clearly did the right thing.
    Remember, democracy isn't real and even if it were, there is no need to appeal to the idea of popularity to determine an idea's merit.

  21. Re: EU Should Mind Their Own Business on Non-Binding Resolution: EU States Should Protect Snowden · · Score: 1

    The EU is a fine example of why keeping the migrant hoards away from the borders is counterproductive. The sky did not fall in. The restaurants got better because they could get more native talent for their cuisine type.

    The situation is different in the US so the outcome would differ.

    However, once a sufficient number of migrants from planet-mc-fast-'food' are queuing at the border, the strategy may have merit.

  22. Re: EU Should Mind Their Own Business on Non-Binding Resolution: EU States Should Protect Snowden · · Score: 1

    The right course of action would be that the adminisration holds its hands up and speaks truth about its corruption then redirects the defence budget into a time-limited study to find a permanent solution to corruption - as it steps down from office - the office to be held on a temporary basis by honest amateurs until a more permanent solution is found by the study.

    Let's play a game.

    It's my game. I set the rules but am not obligated to abide by them. I am free to change the rules whenever I like. I have thousands of advisors to assist my tactics although you are limited to those you can afford to hire. I am able to take all your money at a whim. The game is to the death.

    OK; would you like a cup of tea before we begin?

    Come back! You are required to play by the rules of the game!

  25. Re: Meaningless Gesture on Non-Binding Resolution: EU States Should Protect Snowden · · Score: 1

    The US has one of the best records for fair and public trials of any nation in the history of the planet.

    If this statistic weren't fabricated or if it were possible to compare fairness between even a single pair of trials, let alone somehow compare fairness in aggregate - it would be a shame that ninety percent of defendants 'choose to' please guilty rather than go to trial - so afraid are they of a fair trial.
