    If US public education gets behind *any* concept, you can bet that it's at least 5 years out of date already, and may be 10+ years out of date.

    That's a bit of a generalisation.

    It might just be plain wrong.

    The point I was disagreeing with is that attractive features derive from their utility; like long legs for running.

    It only takes one counter-example to disprove it, and I provided one. Have a look at deer antlers if you need another.

    As to why you think humans are somehow "special", you're scraping the bottom of the barrel there, pal. Pathetic.

  3. The difference is that when whites do it they don't soft-pedal the investigation because of "cultural sensitivity".

    As for "imagined system" are you trying to imply that UK has no liable laws?

    Scotland has a separate legal system to England and Wales. Thus UK libel (not liable) law exists as much as Michigario's does.

    Not knowing that is pretty much proof that you aren't exactly an expert in the subject.

    That Truth is not an absolute defense in the UK.

    Why do people keep repeating this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Do they teach you lot in highschool that you're always right? Or only when you get to DeVry? A simple Google search would have saved you making a fool of yourself.

    Quite. If your average faceberk had the critical thinking & reading skills necessary for this then there'd be no fake news, because it wouldn't work.

    he wants to expand liable law

    libel

    and make a more UK-like system over here

    Which aspects of that imagined system would those be?

  10. technically you can not write contract law, that would enable private individuals via contracts to infringe freedom of speech of others.

    That must be why I've never heard of non-disclosures or commercial confidentiality.
