Because if he knows you'll find something on his hard drive once you decrypt it, he may decide to disappear during the 900 years it takes you to find it
It doesn't matter that Kamau is just another radical wingnut, what he said was wrong and evil. Just because he is Black no one has dared to say anything about it.
We can't go condemning every lunatic that spews venom at the world (or whites, in this case). We must concentrate on the ones that actually hold positions of power and influence, and gods know that there are enough of those.
Where ones status in life today is usually has little bearing on where you will be tomorrow.
You'd be surprised. For instance, I would bet money that most of the poor North Africans living in slums near Paris will still be poor North Africans living in slums in 20 years. They'll just be 20 years older.
No you don't. You have to ignore the fact that your applicant is from Africa. This is how America behaves, and it works much better than the french system.
And if I don't like you for any reason, shouldn't I have a right?
Yeah, so long as the reason was non-discriminatory. Don't pretend that this is abstract - if you're a North African living in France, most HR drones won't even look at you, and that needs to change.
I don't think there can ever be a perfect solution.
We don't need perfect. We just need "good enough".
Where is the outrage over what Kamua Kambo said? I noticed that you're response was over what Bennett said, not what Kambo said. Why is that?
As far as I know, Kamau is just another radical wingnut, while Bill Bennett is a former SecEd. Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany; as far as I can tell, this Kamau guy isn't likely to be a head of state any time soon, and if he does manage that, will most likely end up like Charles Mugabe, a localized disaster.
A White person can't even make a joke about racial problems with being branded a racist.
I can and do. It just has to actually be funny and not a recapitulation of some stereotype.
William J. Bennett makes a crack about aborting Black babies to low the crime rate and he is burned at the stake by the media.
Rightly so. Eugenics is pretty awful and not something to make an offhand crack about. Also, it wouldn't work.
Whites simple,as a group don't, want to live next to Blacks and I've heard plenty of Blacks say they same thing.
Speaking as a white male, I don't identify myself as such and don't consider it important. I don't want to live next door to a bunch of thugs, but that has nothing to do with skin color. I'd rather live with people like me - middle class professionals.
To answer your question, yes a black man can be French, German, English, whatever. He might want to use a non-arab name, though. It'll improve his chances of getting a job in Paris.
Assuming Apple makes ten cents per song and over the life of the iPod somebody downloads 10,000 songs, then Apple makes $1,000.
Who the hell buys $10k worth of itunes stuff? It's probably more like $50=$100. Also, last I heard, iTunes wasn't making much money - it was mainly driving iPod sales.
And the legal definition that I found seems to require that the victim know about it, presumably at the time it's committed. At best he coould be charged with conspiracy, if intent to commit murder could be proven.I still maintain that it looks like an attempt to oust an officer that's been harrassing students, which isn't actually a crime.
My point is that schools should not present any point of view on a controversial subject like this as truth.
Well, it's too bad that they do that with all sorts of things, like history. Your lesson plan works great for a philosophy class, but as far as science is concerned, Evolution is the best we have.
Sadly in the legal world, you don't get such a distinction. Prosecution would argue that he had plenty of other wordings to choose from, but that "eliminate" has a strong connotation, particularly if one is speaking about a police officer.
Not a lawyer, but I would argue that the suggested methods don't lend themselves to murder.
It's how the victim interpreted the assault, not how you intended it.
Well, I didn't see anything about an assault, and most places I look tend to disagree - it's down to your intent (minus blatant stupidity and plus the reasonable man doctrine). Otherwise, an offhand comment heard by somebody out of context could get you prosecuted for making threats.
I'll take that over a former coke sniffing, alcohol abusing, draft dodging, duty shirking President.
In all fairness, most of that slur applies to our past two presidents. What I want is a president that knows how to do his job, preserves civil liberties, and doesn't give money to the rich at everybody else's expense.
So, if the two theories are being taught side by side, i.e. evolution a well of critiques of the theory, are being taught, where exactly is the problem?
No problem. Produce another theory and we can present it alongside Evolution. Until then, keep to scienfe when in science class.
The funny thing about the controversy is that the people opposed to thinking independently are the ones who insist that a collection of ideas be taught as established fact, no longer subject to critical analysis.
I can't tell if you are for ID or evolution. Seriously, are you implying that it is evolution or ID that is merely 'a collection of ideas'?

I've got something that works almost as well: it's called thermite ^_^

No. I have the right to hire who I want right?
No you don't. You have to ignore the fact that your applicant is from Africa. This is how America behaves, and it works much better than the french system.

I could drive for 60 hours straight and still be in the US
Do you believe fifty years ago that America's population was only 50% Christian?
Who says it ever was?
Amen. At a certain point it all comes down to personal responsibility. The state cannot be responsible for you choosing to screw up you life.
What about when nobody will hire you because you're North African? Should the state help with that?

many USians sneak across the Canadian border in a desperate bid to find freedom.
Speaking as an American, I go to Canada for the beer.
A classical work, such as a symphony or a concerto is composed of several individual pieces of music called movements-- each of which can stand alone.
You're going to hate me ;)
A lot of rock music, like Pink Floyd and Queensryche have the very same property, and I want it for my stuff.
My 20GB of music weighs about 80lbs. You're damn right they're inefficient!
Clinton was never a drunk, into coke, or shirked any duty.
"I never inhaled."
I'm pretty sure that he did, and going to Canada sounds like shirking duty to me.
Obviously we do know he was a fast-food eating, blowjob receiving President, but you take what you can get..
My problem there is that we have way better than W, but we took him anyway.

The kid suggested "eliminating"(executing) a campus police officer AND solicited others to attempt what can only be termed entrapment.
Or getting him fired. I read some of the passages, and the methods seemed to be a petition, digging up dirt, or entrapment. That isn't murder.

Not worth considering. Science and "not considering" don't seem to go well together.
Science does not consider philosophical arguments, which ID is.
Intelligent Design, the way it was explained to me, is not something that "hurts" or "helps", but it is just another theory.
ID is not a theory. That is not open to debate.
Again my main point is that it can be taught in a class in about 10 min. Heck they could more than cover the topic in a one day class.
Go ahead, stick it in religion or mythology class.
So, if the two theories are being taught side by side, i.e. evolution a well of critiques of the theory, are being taught, where exactly is the problem?
No problem. Produce another theory and we can present it alongside Evolution. Until then, keep to scienfe when in science class.

I can't tell if you are for ID or evolution. Seriously, are you implying that it is evolution or ID that is merely 'a collection of ideas'?
Then with "facts" explain how everything came in to being.
We're working on that and doing better each day. ID doesn't help, and just because we don't have all the answers doesn't make ID worth considering.
The far left are on an agenda to wipe out any mention of God at all in our society.
No, just science class.
I'm no fan of what the Kansas Board is doing, but your concern about the sanctity of the "definition of science" is misplaced.
The difference between Newton and ID is that newton was doing science and ID is poorly wrapped Creationism. His concern is well placed.
secondhand smoke is one of the biggest killers in America.
Bullshit. smoking may kill a lot of people, but there's no conclusive evidence that second hand smoke is more that an irritant to most of us.
