| Topic | is it ever ok for a white person to say the n-word? |
| Broken_Zeus 07/06/18 12:59:25 PM #49 | When rapping or quoting historical documents, for starters. Golden Road posted... I don't know, but the better question is why do people try to come up with hypothetical scenarios where it's OK to say the word in the first place? Because saying that some races can use a word but not others is literally racist and nobody likes racism except racists, tbh. Golden Road posted... Why do some white people want to use the word so badly, anyway? I don't really get that. Because they hate segregation so much. Others are apparently very fine with segregation or even think it's a good idea, going to great lengths to defend it. Whether it's a water fountain, a hairstyle, or a word, shit shouldn't be restricted to one race. --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance |

US crime families obviously operate less openly than cartels because the US does more to enforce laws and many of the families are involved in quasi-legit businesses which also serve to launder money. --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance |

| Topic | Why are half breeds in fiction always stronger than whatever their parents are? |
| Broken_Zeus 07/04/18 5:39:38 PM #8 | Depends case by case, although it's often just a fluke. Not all of Goku's kids and grandkids were stronger than him. Plus Goku himself was far stronger than his dad who was reportedly of average strength. And Goku's older brother, Raditz, was likewise unremarkable. That or power level improvements could be inhertable Of course, in the case of dhampir (half-vamps), they have many of the strengths with fewer of the weaknesses. That makes them stronger by default. In general, when you mix two species, the result is going to be consistent or predictable in terms of inherited traits. Often the result is favorable for storyline convenience. --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance |

| Topic | Should teachers be bonused on students doing well? |
| Broken_Zeus 07/04/18 5:05:32 PM #6 | faramir77 posted... Assessment in class is nearly entirely to the discretion of the teacher. I can have everyone in my class get 90s if I wanted to. Standardized exams are less in my control, but they are complete bullshit in their philosophy and exist entirely as a playing piece for politicians. iirc, there have been scandals where teachers were helping students cheat on standardized tests. faramir77 posted...
Well... I wouldn't go that far. You'd certainly have an easier time with some versus others, but it can be more controllable than people make it out to be. And most of us can recall great teachers who got us engaged in the subject material and terrible teachers who made fun subjects feel terrible. --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance |
| Topic | Geekmasters: Now in 4D |
| Broken_Zeus 07/04/18 3:38:37 PM #215 | Was thinking about city and town names, specifically in terms of naming conventions. It's something you kinda take for granted growing up in it but I was hearing what some Chinese cities/towns translated to a ways back -- literally stuff like sand river town or something -- which made me a big more cognizant regarding names. (And, of course, when I first moved to CT, I also noticed that many of the towns had a "-bury" suffix, which is apparently a derivation of "burg/burgh" meaning tow.) For instance, Connecticut has a lot of towns with a "-field" suffix in the name -- Bloomfield, Fairfield, Ridgefield, Brookfield, Enfield, Suffield, Mansfield, etc (and then "New" variations -- like New Milford). Basically they're just mildly descriptive names of topography. Ditto for a town we have that's just called Deep River. And, of course, we have a Watertown, a Waterford, and a Waterbury. Those aren't even terribly descriptive. Now, if Connecticut was a fantasy kingdom, I imagine it would be criticized for its similar-sounding names being confusing >_> That said, fantasy novels/films/shows only really focus on a handful of significant cities/towns -- generally the largest -- so I guess that might be kinda moot. Granted, in fantasy settings and older history, a lot of things might not necessarily be named at all or would be known by the landowner's name. --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance |
| Topic | Should teachers be bonused on students doing well? |
| Broken_Zeus 07/04/18 3:13:55 PM #3 | HillChange posted... So you're basically asking if teachers should get bonuses based on how many A's they wind up giving out? Yeah, there's no way teachers could abuse that to the detriment of the students. Came in to say this. Whenever you try to tie incentives to government performance, there's always massive fraud. Even private sector incentives can lead to fraud when you have crooked management (eg, Wells-Fargo) --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance |
