Given that I don't support the death penalty except for leaders of criminal or terrorist organizations, no.

Krazy_Kirby posted...
there have been interviews with people on death row who believe that there would be more murder w/o the death penalty


If you mean as a deterrent for people already in prison, maybe. After all, what can you threaten a guy who has a life sentence with? More prison? As for the general population, it's *never* been a deterrent. In fact, the murder rate in our country is DOWN despite states increasingly restricting or banning the death penalty.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/16/florida-shooting-white-nationalists-415672

Following misrepresentations by a white nationalist leader and coordinated efforts by internet trolls, numerous researchers and media outlets spread a seemingly false claim that the man charged with killing more than a dozen people at a Florida high school belonged to an extremist group.

Law enforcement agencies say they have no evidence so far to support this claim, and the rumor appears to have been perpetrated by white nationalist trolls themselves.


The ADL traced its original tip to posts on 4chan, where researchers found self-described ROF members claiming that Cruz was a brother-in-arms. But many of those posts seem to have been written specifically to deceive reporters and researchers.


Given the event itself, this news is completely unsurprising.

It was kind of central to Superman as well, considering it was part of the all-American look at the time. Additionally, part of his creation was done to specifically avert the "-American", which was strictly a white thing since blacks were just called blacks at the time.

GuillermoGage posted...
But it is important to understand that most black people didn't care about Black Panther/T'Challa or any other black character that fits whatever definition of "superhero" until very recently. "Superheroes" are just one specific genre of entertainment.


Where are you going with that argument? Are you arguing that because collectively they're late adopters they should be more entitled to it? Because that's kind of a weird position. If anything, you've kinda argued that Black Panther is a "white thing" rather than a black thing.

Pretty sure that's a 25% increased chance, not a flat 25% chance (ie, a 1% chance would go up to 1.25%). And even then they'd need to be at risk for specific genetic defects. In general, though, it's an argument against incestuous progeny rather than the relationship itself whereas society has the relationship itself outlawed.


It also gets more "confusing" when people use the word incest wrong too. For example if two completely blood unrelated people get together but live with each other. Like step siblings with different parents entirely.


I think that kinda reflects the nature of the social taboo rather than the actual genetic reasoning. Basically an extension of the Westermarck Effect, where a significant portion of the portion of the population experiences it and anything that deviates from it seems strange.

plate armour had no "unprotected sections" really, even then the joints had plates covering them and chain would often be patched onto the padding beneath to add extra protection (Double stacking Chain and plate was pointless and would have been really tiring too!)


...the protection at the joints tended to be far more vulnerable because it wasn't a solid piece of metal and, even then, you'd have some mail at the gaps. Thrusting through mail is far easier than thrusting through plate although, it should be mentioned, even mail provides solid protection and you'd usually have an additional layer of padding (like a gambeson) under the mail.

Cacciato posted...
You can have a suit of armor with covered joints and still be easily mobile.



You can clearly see mail at the joints (and in even more areas than that), which isn't going to be able to resist penetration nearly as well as solid plate. (After all, if it could, people would have just stuck with wearing mail instead of plate.) And it's worth noting that -- depending on where you strike -- you technically don't need to pierce the mail to seriously injure an opponent. For example, blunt force trauma to the neck can prove fatal.

Are you genuinely asking why people may care that the leader of their country is ok with lying on the record?


While I'm pleasantly amused by your naivete, do you *honestly* expect that it benefits a nation to have complete and total honesty on every issue from leaders? Politicians routinely lie about matters far more important than an affair -- ones that directly impact the American people -- where, in at least some cases, the truth may be detrimental although in most others it's simply to preserve faith in the government. When somebody lies about something minor or personal, it's nothing compared to the daily lies associated with the job. Frankly, even Jimmy Carter likely lied about something while in office.

Bullshit. Gun ownership in the US on an individual basis is DOWN. More importantly, individual ownership is far more prevalent in countries like South Africa.

The actual ownership is skewed towards collectors where a small fraction owns a lot of guns. And, afaik, most gun owners tend to own multiple guns.

Armed and militarized aren't even close to being the same thing. Most of the nations with high ownership rates aren't even close to being considered militarized, it's almost always personal defense because the culture is violent (again, South Africa which, in addition to its massive violence issue, tends to lead the world in rapes -- hence people have a *very* good reason to be packing)

There are kids who drown in toilet bowls. Does that mean that it's a prevalent threat people need to think about on a daily basis? The fact that somebody *could* die from an extreme outlier isn't particularly meaningful given the odds. Conceivably you may have more to worry about lightning than school shootings.

A student is far more likely to commit suicide or die from an alcohol-related event than as the victim of a mass shooting in a school. The stuff that makes the biggest headlines aren't necessarily the things you most need to worry about.

I dont know, I feel almost irresponsible thinking about putting my kid at that kind of risk just for going to school. I know its still extremely slim odds in the grand scheme, but... 30 shootings in 45 days?


lol.... Those "school shootings" include multiple suicides (once such instance involving an adult in the parking lot of a building), the accidental discharge of a firearm, multiple incidents where nobody was hurt, etc. It's propaganda meant to hype a problem where it's not a realistic concern for anybody. Students are at a far higher risk of dying due to an alcohol-related issue than *any* kind of gun violence but nobody is talking about alcohol.

If you're worried about risking your child in a public school, the greatest threat might be the abysmally low level of education given to American students.

Given that her conduct was highly unprofessional and reflected badly on her employer -- specifically for calling out an entire church -- she had the firing coming. Had she not mentioned the church by name, she would have been fine.

If you can't back up your baseless claim, you can just admit you can't back up your baseless claim. You don't have to hop around the question like that... unless you were trolling all along! Is that your game?

Other than cons and hobby groups, no idea. They're generally outnumbered by geek guys so you'd have your work cut out for you.

No, unless you're talking about "issue" in the most trivial sense of the word like people wearing socks with sandals are an issue.
