  1. Re:Blame the victim much on Judge Rules Defense Can Use Trayvon Martin Tweets · · Score: 1

    1st degree murder...whaaaat? That's premeditated murder, like when you lie in wait for someone. Sorry, you have no business discussing this situation with adults.

    None of this matters. The only thing that matters is that Zimmerman the white (son of a Peruvian mestizo) is found guilty of murder. Any other outcome will lead to riots.

    A brain the size of a planet, and somehow along the way you didn't learn empathy for those you obviously consider below you. Maybe you're not as smart as you think.

    Who said anything about business? Pure projection on your part. You're thinking about it all the time, so naturally it spills out of your brain without you even thinking about it.

    I note both your condescending, spiteful attitude towards both Scientific American, a respected publication, and average people. Where is your empathy? Have you taken the sociopath test? Let's see, off the cuff in your post I see superficial charm, grandiose self-worth, expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily. No evidence of promiscuity or juvenile delinquency though, so it could be just that you're an asshole.

    Racism does not require intent, it merely requires that the target feel that racism has occurred.

    How dare you tell others to stop. Chinese is a race, and if you don't believe it, ask any Chinese.

    I did. Unfortunately, the whole "lucid dreaming" thing is overrun by people who think that they are shamans, crystal healers, and all sorts of other fools. It's less about "controlling your dreams" as it is "unlocking past life experiences" and other nonsense.

    These workers will not go on to develop the next great idea. They will be workers their whole lives. Starting earlier just means greater lifetime earnings. A brain just means more trouble for them as they will be bothered by the repetitive work, whereas duller minds tolerate it much better. In many cases what they do can literally be replaced by machines.

    I also note that you implicitly call China uncivlised, which sounds awfully racist to me.

    You know, I asked the very same thing years ago, and was told that because I had more, I should feel proud to give to those who have less. Funny how these noble sentiments go out the window as soon as the "wrong" politics get involved, eh?

    Fallacy. This only happens when there are too many cars on the road. In all other driving conditions, the two second rule works, and works well.

    Unless, of course, you only drive in too-crowded conditions. In which case, you really need to reconsider where you live. Move into the city and live in high-density housing, like a good human. Use mass transit. This greatly decreases your environmental footprint, and frankly, should be law. How, in this day and age, is it legal for people to choose to live so far away from work, and expect the environment to bear the negative consequences? Externalized costs will kill us all.

    And no, "maybe she'd eventually give you the chance to examine her bra more closely" is a fallacy. A woman knows within five minutes of meeting you if she'll have sex with you or not. Your personality determines her reaction to your checking out her assets: "OMG he really likes me" or "eww pervy". If you're a dominant male, the former...if not, the latter.

    Well, an Islamic-majority country can be called an Islamic country. Iran is more correctly known by its proper name, the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). Libya's draft constitution states in Part 1, Article 1: âoeIslam is the Religion of the State, and the principal source of legislation is Islamic Jurisprudence (Sharia).â In Egypt, Article 8 of the draft constitution states that only Islam, Christianity and Judaism are guaranteed freedom of worship and the right to build mosques, churches and temples.

    How about walking around in one of these countries and asking people if they live in an Islamic country? How about walking around in the souk, wearing a T-shirt with a crucifix or a Star of David on it? I bet you'd get an answer real fast, and it wouldn't have anything to do with colonialism or the Cold War.
