    Reasons for ppl not doing well:

    living in a shit part of town.

    result:

    no *good* jobs avialable, depreciation of value. Can't sell house, if you can, can't get the money you paid.

    cause (for some): FHA discrimination back in the 50's when many good jobs were moving from the cities to the suburbs. the suburbs became almost all white communities. Minorities were kept in the cities.

    Resons this still afects ppl: cant sell house, no money cause there are no good jobs, hence can't get a house in a nice area, with good jobs, so you can't get a good job to aford a good house in a nice area... the cycle continues with the children.

    Whites: Easily able to obtain a mortgage on a house in a suburb with an increasing land value (ie a base amount of wealth from which it was easier to gain more). Good jobs available. and so on.

    The goverment invested in one group of people and excluded another. Of course it still afects people today, just like investing money in a bond or something. Some people are getting twice the value back, some are losing value. This is just one discriminatory policy of the goverment. there are more.

    nothing is cut and dry.

  3. Fool on First person convicted of U.S. Internet piracy · · Score: 1

    If he was fool enough to run a server where he could be traced by his ip, or whatever, then he is stupid. Somebody at my school, they got cought running an mp3 server at school, using his ip, public website. He almost got kicked out.

    If you are going to run a server, educate yourself. Change your IP, Dont use a website

    they run slow when far to many extraneous and unnessasery inits and extensions are installed by worthless 3rd party applications. Granted it takes a minute or two of tweaking, but the usual user isn't going to go rampid installing stuff on thier computer. A windows computer with a bunch of unnessasery inits is slow to (if you had forgotten).
