  1. Thanks for admitting you are a troll, troll. Goodnight!
  2. Is this part of your "I'm really a conservative but I just hate Trump" shtick?" If so, it's not working. Calling Rittenhouse a psycho killer is Defcon 1 level Leftist. HTH

    Are these people on left or right?

    Unpossible. @The Real timschochetassured me that the majority of protestors simply oppose Netanyahu's policies...
  4. My state is so much better since all of the blue haired Californians started moving in.

    Fair enough, my apologies. My message was more for @MDC who agreed with you. He thinks the brightest minds at the Ivies dont know what "from the river to the sea" means.

    So if Nomad says from the river to the sea, it means killing. But if a highly educated Ivy League student does, not so much?

    I'm on a subway in NY that just stopped at Columbia. You could hear protests above. They announced that this is the last train that will stop there.
  8. @weepawsis pretty worthless. He just posts that both sides are evil, put your faith in Jesus. Yet we still need to pick somebody to run the country.
  9. Others have pointed out that your links, which had no science, talked about police shootings. But the greater point is that shootings is a great proxy for lethal force, since knees-on-necks are fairly rare. And there is not difference in such force. Somehow you missed the most important reason, which is the utterly broken inner city black culture. It's not about skin color -- Nigerians are the most successful immigrant class currently. Ethiopians do very well as well. We've discussed this before: it's about personal responsibility, commitment to education, and family values.
  10. I know you dislike when science disagrees with your beliefs, but Harvard economist Roland Fryer (a black man) showed that there was no police bias in police shootings. There is however bias in non-lethal force. This study hurt his career btw. Colleagues suggested he bury it. Not the right woke message. I wonder how many other such studies meet such a fate? Abstract: This paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force –officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account. We argue that the patterns in the data are consistent with a model in which police officers are utility maximizers, a fraction of which have a preference for discrimination, who incur relatively high expected costs of officer-involved shootings.

    Deadpool update : possibly one of our own :(

    Hope it's not true, but he has been MIA for several years.

    The ***OFFICIAL*** NFL draft thread

    I heard the Falcons reasoning was: they had Penix as their #2qb, close to Daniel's at the top. They think they'll be better this year with Cousins so future picks will be later in the first round, not leaving a chance to get a future franchise qb.

    Death pool update - Mike Pinder of Moody Blues

    Thems fighting words. They were in my Mount Rushmore of favorite bands in the late 70s moving into the 80s. Although I was hugely disappointed with 90210

    Death pool update - Mike Pinder of Moody Blues

    Big fan of their music, but I saw them in Worcester MA in the late 80s and it was probably the worst concert I've ever seen. Just boring, no energy.

    Not if you think you need a QB.
