Nothing stops a highly intelligent nerd from digging into someones past on a job interview to find out if they were a jock and if they are outed as a jock then they go on the jock list and cannot be hired to do anything but work Walmart, McDonalds and other jobs specifically designed for the jock population.
How about that?
Are you thinking about forming an action committee because I think I could get government funding for this? Actually I think they do a pretty good job of delegating that kind of work to themselves. Being a jock is a stereotype that the person being stereotyped often wants to promote. Then again not everyone is cut out for professional careers. It would be sad if someone got stereotyped as a jock and could have been a great inventor.
Thats why I said "bullying" jocks, not jocks. Also if they decide to stop acting like jocks then maybe they wont fit the stereotype anymore.
My ancestors survived by forming a tribe and killing members of the opposing tribe whether they looked like them or not. Tribe is not the same as race. Tribe is a matter of language, culture, and gene pools.
Race does not have any impact on evolution. It's not a matter of fearing people who look different. That sort of shallow thinking will leave you open to booty traps because any hottie who looks good will be able to get close to you and kill you. Why? Because the enemy is going to come in a beautiful form that you'll accept and slowly poison you.
Newsflash: most people threatening your life won't be have elaborate long-term strategies for doing so.
Unless you are at war and then they will. It depends on who you fight with.
Millions got killed by bullies. They were bullied to death and here is a list of possible reasons:
1. They failed to identify who the bullies are.
2. They lacked the power to stop the bullies from killing them.
3. They lacked the will to do anything about bullying when they saw it and had the power to stop it.
Race has nothing to do with genocide. Genocide is a result of one group of people bullying another group of people to death on a massive scale. Race is just used as an excuse, as is religion, to empower bullies to act.
It's the interaction between predator and prey, bullies and the bullied, that influences evolution. This is why I said it's more accurate to consider the bullies a separate race than to consider people with different physical appearance a separate race because honestly it's the bullies who are going around doing the violent acts.
It's simple. Either you start applying it to the football captain and the cheerleader, or get rid of the word entirely. As it is right now all the dumbest people are the same people who believe in the word the most. The smartest people believe in genetics.
How about the nerds, dorks, and civilized population start calling it like it is and label the bullying jocks/racists/ignorant as a race unto themselves? I'm not going to claim them as one of us, why would you want to see them as one of us? Anyone who believes in these stereotypes so hard should be stereotyped.
Nothing stops a highly intelligent nerd from digging into someones past on a job interview to find out if they were a jock and if they are outed as a jock then they go on the jock list and cannot be hired to do anything but work Walmart, McDonalds and other jobs specifically designed for the jock population.
Babies prefer to look at people who look like their parents, or who look like they do. It's not because the baby has a concept of race but because the baby probably never has seen someone who looked like that before. If you are a baby surrounded by blonde white people and an asian face is shown to you then you are going to freak out if you've never seen a face like that before even if the face is beautiful.
How do you prove it's "race" that the baby thinks is beautiful? You can show a beautiful picture of anything to a baby and the baby could like it and you could show an ugly picture of anything and the baby wont like it.
So if the baby thinks people that look more like themselves are beautiful it's because they've seen more beautiful people who look like themselves in their lifetime. It has nothing to do with race and more to do with the environment of the baby and the people raising it. If you were raised as a baby by parents who have different color skin than yours then you wouldn't be shocked to see people with different color skin at school or anywhere. It's because some families have members who all look so much alike with no diversity that the children get all messed up in the head thinking everyone looks like that.
It's environment and babies do know what their parents look like and do bond with their parents regardless of the race.
They don't have any subconscious association between these two words and the races. That part has to be taught. But yes a baby can think that people who look similar to them are beautiful and this isn't so abnormal. It's only abnormal when they think people who look different from them can't be beautiful.
It makes sense if birds of a feather flock together but not all dogs form packs based around the color of their fur. There always will be groups but groups form for a variety of reasons. The only reason race is so popular is because of American culture teaching young people and the whole world to believe in race.
What would happen if there were no word for race is, you'd have some kids who would be considered "uglier" than some others, and these "ugly" kids would form bonds with other kids considered "ugly". This would be the logical conclusion if race were removed.
So you'd have the fat kid of one race becoming friends with the skinny kid of another race, while the jocks bully them both. This is what would happen if race did not have a component. With race in the picture now the fat kid and the skinny kid of different races who are both considered ugly by the normal majority would never be able to form a connection because they are of difference races. So keeping the idea of race alive only really benefits the jocks, the cheer leaders, the bullies and all the sort of people that the majority of nerds, dorks and geeks hated in school. It also keeps the nerds, dorks, and geeks from different races from forming connections and defending themselves against the masses.
I do think everyone has the gene to discriminate, but we don't all discriminate on the basis of racial stereotypes. You can look at kids and you can see that they don't all instinctually organize based on race. What happens is adults encourage them to organize based on race by telling them that this person is another race than everyone else.
Maybe you don't understand. Toddlers have racial biases. Even babies just a few months old will prefer to look at a picture of someone with the same skin color as them. It's built into the way our brain works. These kids don't have that at any age. They also don't have the subconscious biases that 99% of people have, even the people that are nice to everyone and would never say, do, or even think a racist thought.
Your claims are assumptions not facts. Not everybody is born with any instinctual connection to race. I never felt any racial bias and honestly never knew what race was until it was explained to me by adults. Even after it was explained to me I never really felt any deep emotional connection to any of the surface races. Race is just another term for physical beauty and it's shallow and pointless to love a "race" just like it's shallow and pointless to love a body type. You might want to have sex with blondes but you don't have to love blondeness and adopt blondeism at an ideology.
Nobody really benefits from racism. Racism is just not a good security policy. It's not like your enemy is going to hire the mercenary that is of the opposite race to kill you. The enemy is going to research you and find out you are racist and hire the mercenary who looks like the authentic perfect ideal race for the target. And of course you'll have no way of dealing with these sorts of attacks because you naively and ignorantly trust your race.
Inherent trust or faith in strangers is a horrible security policy. It's better to be suspicious of all strangers from any race than to trust one race over another. If you don't know them you can't trust them and their body type doesn't make any difference.
Race does not have any impact on evolution. It's not a matter of fearing people who look different. That sort of shallow thinking will leave you open to booty traps because any hottie who looks good will be able to get close to you and kill you. Why? Because the enemy is going to come in a beautiful form that you'll accept and slowly poison you.
When I was a kid MOST of my friends were of different races so I never learned to feel any sort of bias on that level. But I learned the difference between the types of kids who would bully other kids and the type of kids who didn't and I saw the bullies as "them".
If you think about it, it doesn't matter what race the bully was in school. The bully is still going to exist no matter if the bully is your race or another and it's not like bullying is any better because someone the same race as you is doing it. People who accept racial stereotypes at a young age are naive, adults who continue to cling to race have a mental disorder probably based in genetics.
You naively assume they'll pay people to make calls for them. They'll instead do as follows:
A) Steal phones and ditch them after using for a bit B) Kill people and take phones, and ditch them after using for a bit C) Clone an existing phone and ditch them after using for a bit D) Get illegal black market SIM cards that likely will be obtained through choices A through C.
I'm not naive at all. The easier way is bribery. If you rob people you create enemies while if you bribe people you create friends. And once they take your money in this context who knows maybe they'll take your money in another context, but if you rob the individual you can be sure they'll side with the governments and declare war against you.
That being said maybe the cartels aren't smart enough to use bribery but thats what the mafias in the USA would do.
The criminals could actually get smart and stop using cellphones entirely, or use some sort of internet phone which would basically kill this entire idea overnight.
Fascists don't make laws on the basis of whether or not it will work to solve a problem. Fascists make laws to control human behavior. It's as worthless as national ID cards with DNA built in. It's as worthless as the laws that make it a crime to possess certain drugs or information. These laws aren't designed to solve a problem, they are designed to control and regulate human behavior.
Usually these laws create even more problems or turn small problems into a big problem, which is then used as a convenient excuse to pass even more draconian fascist laws which give the government even more authority to regular behavior.
This process will not stop until we are all chipped government robots with no free will. That is the end goal/final solution of fascism.
Phone theft isn't even necessary, just go to a safehouse and use their phone. Or just pay a random individual $100 to use their phone for 10 minutes and I can pretty much guarantee if the price is right you'll find some individual somewhere who will let you make a call for $10 a minute.
In fact I'm sure most people on slashdot would accept that deal, and there would be no need to rob anyone.Of course when it's time to explain what happen to the police then of course the money isn't mentioned and it was a robbery.
If the cartels just pay complete strangers to make phonecalls on their registered phones, the majority of complete strangers would accept the money, and if they don't then they'd just be robbed and the registered phone taken and once again anonymous phone calls.
Registering phones is as pointless as registering guns. Criminals don't register, so this will only effect the individuals who aren't in the cartels. The cartels will just go deeper underground, and will be even more anonymous because they'll start using random phones registered by random strangers. At least before they could perhaps trace the calls back to the same physical device, now they can't even do that.
Lets face it, if someone wants to be anonymous they will be. Just like if someone wanted to be anonymous on slashdot they could go and pay individuals for their username and password and bypass the registration system no matter how complex it is. The only thing the government can do is monitor ALL phonecalls from ALL phones, and through datamining hope to find the needle in the haystack.

Grow up.
Thats precisely what you should tell a racist jock.
How about the bullies and jocks are a race?

Believe me it's not at all a pointless idea. If they can control who you can talk to and how, they can control you.
Most "Drug Lords" use sat phones.
Another good point. But honestly they don't even have to use cellphones at all, they could use the radio.

It's paranoia not to believe in the power of the FBI. Are you so afraid of your government that you can't question the mainstream theology?
