  1. Re:Sure on Supreme Court Ruling Relaxes Warrant Requirements For Home Searches · · Score: 1

    Most people will then default to claiming the cops would only arrest someone worth arresting, or something like that. Unless you're in a protected group, being arrested emotionally justifies your criminalization to most people. There's a reason most claim they feel safe around cops that've verfiably beat someone to death, if the cop gets a legal pass. It's all fine till it's them or theirs.

    Domminant aggressor laws and primary aggressor policies don't require the male to be anything but a victim to get classified as an aggressor and arrested. They don't have to assume he did anything. That's explicit. The premise, I shit you not, is that the attacker will probably eventually get hurt if she continues attacking the victim, thus they arrest the victim to keep him from having to hit back. Arresting violent women is more frowned upon than arresting victim males.

    As opposed to a battered man having to go to court to get back into his own house? Laws here say the guy's out when accused, prior to any investigation. Immediately loses custody of his kids if his attacker/accusor was the mother too. I don't know what world you're living in.

    Being from a stupid religious private school, I was amazed that it wasn't either for public, while being amazed it wasn't covered in my supposed microeconomics class in community college. Comparing it to macroeconomics, which I took out of curiosity, I think those courses were primarily (neo)Keynesian indoctrination. They openly handwaved literally everything else. Thusly, I wonder how politically neutral this implementation is...

    Ah, so some rich white people mean the rest owe the black people? Why? You counting what kind of white people the white people are? Those that were the wrong kind of white have somewhat intact populations now, which will skew low. How are the Irish doing vs Germans? No data on that, right? How about East European? All just "white" to you, right? Ironic that American poverty vs African poverty means the black population you're fixated on actually profited from slavery. They could go "back" to Africa with their poverty level money and be upper class. They're not going to do that though, are they? Why?

    About that... Clothes make you a cyborg. Augmenting your limb for whacking things certainly would qualify. Technology makes us cyborgs. That's exactly what cybernetics was meant to address and develop, especially when second-order cybernetics necessarily dragged even the cyberneticists into the system scope. You'd have some argument for a hasty generalizing definition for less dedicated users or tools, but us and hammers are pretty involved. Computers extend us greatly: our physical manipulators, senses, mental processing, memories, even identities.

    So what shit are they dumb enough to waste thier time on? Or would your "opinion" get in the way of actually comprehending such a question? Women do lots of stupid things, wasting lots of money and effort, but will gladly sneer at men for not noticing, completely missing the point that we usually don't care. Female chauvenism doesn't doesn't get to define intelligence, despite what pussy pass waiver care to chain vomit at any opportunity.

    You forgetting women's ubiquitous social powers in public, cops/courts enforcing the former as proxies, handwaved health issues, female-chauvenism derived social expectations and assumptions that don't even necessarily require a women involved, etc.? Dominate aggressor laws don't care if you've never seen your female attacker before in your life. Likewise, plenty of paternity laws don't care if you've even been on the same side of any continent with some mother declaring you the father. We're not really out of much. They just need to want to fuck you up to do so, and, being that most are pathological creepshamers with impunity, they'll often want to just for the hell of it on sight.

    Microsoft's "embrace, enhance, extinguish" business model's entirely dependent on government interventionism.

How about you wave around Mosanto and Big Pharma as examples while you're publicly defecating? Microsoft wouldn't exist as it does without special treatment.

    Replace the minority of government supported cronies with the corrupt majority of government supported cronies? You're confusing government interventionism with free market either way. The old robber barons weren't private. They were all state appointed/favored, as opposed to their market opponents. Their monopolies and hegemonies were sold as "greater good", same as your pseudo-socialist bullshit always is. I assume you have no problem with rigging free exchange when someone have nothing of worth anyone cares to trade for though too? That'd be parasitism. Using state coercion to fake a real job just to get the freeloader a paycheck doesn't make such a laborer not a parasite. It'd just make you one of those sanctimonious hypocrites mentioned earlier.

  25. Re:Your point of view means nothing. on South Carolina Education Committee Removes Evolution From Standards · · Score: 2

    Evolution is as verifiably a fact as gravity is. The theory part refers only to certain details, just like gravity or particle theory. Natural selection acting on what would otherwise be genetic drift causes adaption and eventual speciation. This is scientific law, established by direct observation not merely inference. ID is half-baked ad-hoc bullshit. It's inconsistent with observation, which figures since it's non-falsifiable and makes claims using admittedly undefined entities, and I don't just mean your quasi-big-bang-as-a-pseudo-person. As Pauli said, "it is not even wrong" in a scientific sense. There's no coherent basis for it to even qualify as a scientific hypothesis. It was never meant to be.
