When you take it to the point of minority groups, it gets very dangerous. Who and what would qualify as a minority group in the EC, and how many votes are they assigned?

What? The electoral college doesn't apply to a state voting on an issue that only applies to that state.


Yes it does. A state is made up of cities and counties that vote to effect that state just like a country is made up if states that vote to effect that country. Its literally the same concept

They don't use that system in those kinds of votes, though.

How did you feel about that prop 8 vote in california then, several years ago? Would you have been ok with the popular vote then?


I disagree with the idea that individual states in the US can decide how they handle human rights and civil rights issues in the first place. "Whether or not gay people are allowed to get married" shouldn't be a thing that you have to decide on when living in certain areas of the US. It forces some to have to pack up and move to another state to be treated equally.


How is that any different than the popular vote? Is it fair to force someone to pack up and move to a different country because other people may or may not have decided poorly?

And how would an EC style vote have helped in the prop 8 vote?

So, then you only focus your campaigning and le legislation on the most influential group(s), and ignore the majority of people?

Your vote doesn't even truly matter with the EC

only if you live in a swing state, then it matters. swing states control the country. people complain about texas and california but it's the swing states who decide each election.

What I mean is the EC can vote for whoever they want, regardless of who won in the polls. You cast your vote, then they decide if they want to vote for the person that won, however, they could vote for Carrot Top, were they so inclined. That would be the vote that really counted.

No. The EC is a necessity for a country made up of states so that everyone has equal representation. Take this last election for instance to see why its so important: a candadite literally ignored a huge section of america while the other focused on them. The EC forces the presidents to campaign on policies that will benefit the most demographys and ultimately benefits the majoriry of the country.

With that said, its not for every country but its perfect for us and thus far hasnt failed us. Until it does, we should just leave it alone

But you can focus on a few states and ignore the rest and still win with this system. Your vote doesn't even truly matter with the EC, as they can vote for whoever they want, regardless of who wins the state.

I was trying to describe a lighter way people might compartmentalize. Say you work for a call center where you solicit strangers knowing its mostly old people on a fixed income and you find the practice of the company to be abhorrent but you figure you need a job and taking advantage of seniors isn't who you really are.

Interesting. Is that really the same though? This is also part of what gives me unease about the concept, it suggests the killers arent really themselves while doing it. The thought is hard to grasp

Kinda.
A better comparison would be a soldiers, cops, doctors, paramedics etc...
People who encounter some real shit, but have to separate themselves from it, so they can function and a normal person.

You loss $10 either way.

The only difference is the additional Breaking & Entering / Illegal Trespassing charges on top from the Burglary.

Breaking and entering, then stealing is burglary.

I'm confused. Where on the cover does it say this kid was taken from it's parents?


I think it is implied because of the current state of the immigration practices. The child is depicted alone in front of Trump. This is suggesting that her parents are not here and she is "Welcomed" to America alone and crying.

They should have used a photo of an actual child that was separated from their parents. It delivered a larger statement.


Agree with you. You're supposed to look at it and think that. So the fact it comes out that THAT SPECIFIC child wasn't taken doesn't change the fact that others were.


It doesn't change the fact, I agree. But this was going to go viral and they knew it. Deliver it as it is in reality, because now that we've all learned that specific child wasn't in that scenario, it devalues the message to a degree.

And many of the people saying I'm confused. Where on the jacket does it say she was talking about the illegal immigrants?, would be slamming a similar act, had it been conservatives. That's why I always emphasize that such behaviors have nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. People tend to change their thinking, rather than face any sort of cognitive dissonance. Typically, people like to challenge others, but never themselves. Challenging your own thinking reallly should be a mode of thought be a focus in our education system.

Classification and Penalties for Theft in Texas
Like the majority of states, Texas classifies its theft offenses according to the value of the stolen property or services -- and in some instances, by the type of property that is taken. Lets start by taking a closer look at each level of theft offense under Texas law, starting with Class C misdemeanor theft (or petty theft) which is the lowest level of theft in Texas.

Class C Misdemeanor Theft
Theft is a class C misdemeanor in Texas if the value of the property or services stolen is less than $50.
(Tex. Pen. Code Ann. 31.03(e)(1)(A).) The punishment for a class C misdemeanor in Texas is a fine of no more than $500, and does not involve any jail time. ( 12.23.)

Nope.

So you criticize that intersex people are unrelated, then ignore chromosomes to bring up genitals. Sayoria has a vagina, thanks for verifying she's a woman. <3

And then you bring up sports and society which are unrelated. What the fuck.

No, she has penis that has been modified to resemble a vagina. There is a difference.

The problem with bringing up intersex people is that you're acting like it's some golden goose. The fact that they do not fall into the normal definition of sex does not mean the normal definition of sex is lacking or wrong. They are deformed. It doesn't mean they are lesser people because of it, but that's all it is. People being born with more or less fingers does not mean we need to redefine the idea of how hands work.

The point about sports and society is that transpeople should be accepted and not discriminated against for being transpeople. The problem with people of your mindset is that you want to extend that further and dictate how people have to think.


Can I has sex like a woman? Yes.
Must I pee like a woman? Yes.
Can women who are born with a vagina be unable to give birth to babies? Yes.

So like.... what difference does it make if mine is neo or not?

Similarly, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a cosmetic change (in terms of what it actually is at the end of the day, a surgically modified penis). It's perfectly fine for someone to be attracted to you, and I would not classify it as "gay" for someone to have sex with you. I will gladly call you female with no hesitation, but that does not change the base biological reality. If that is not an issue for some people, all the power to them.


I don't know what you are talking about. When I got my SRS, they changed my chromosomes to XX.

Wait what? You can't change existing chromosomes.

You can't.
I think it was a joke.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought it was that video game addiction is not a ligitamate condition.

I mean if you want an argument from me for the research side of things I think there are more worthwhile but similar pursuits, such as why people withdraw entirely into an activity, but again if we are talking pure academia then labels are somewhat arbitrary. Research into Gaming Disorder could find the solution to the above. But is should be noted that often with things like this big pharma or some other evil conglomerate views it as a cash cow and milks it accordingly, even in research. From the research I've seen on gaming as a disorder (I read on it some in college due to some related research I was doing) there wasn't much evidence that it really stood out in a different way from other activities that people get heavily drawn into. At least, the evidence wasn't presented in the papers I read.

Additionally though, if they are implementing it in ICD-11 that would imply giving it a clinical diagnosis code.

I would think big pharma would be more interested in some of the underlying conditions you spoke of. It seems likely that will not develop a video game addiction medication, but rather prescribe psychotherapy.

So, what was the TC really modded for?

Connect the dots between what he said in the top of this topic and the title of the topic he got moderated in.

So, he was using it to back up a claim that it's fucked up uneducated people are having kids?

Why devote so much time and concern to this?
I feel I've been unfairly modded before. I just go "Well, that's whack", and move on.

That's nice but it depends on the type of licensing. Therapists can diagnose in some situations. I'd tell you the specific license if I remembered.

I guess that could be true in some states.
Do you have any sort of degree in psychology or psychiatry?

Nope.

Then, what makes you think you have the knowledge to the claim people who do and have researched these matters, as ridiculous?

Mostly experience with the psychiatric system. Medical experts have to rely on patients' ability to explain what is going on with them to give an accurate diagnosis. This can be particularly hard in psych where so many diagnoses are similar (the chief reason ICD-9 was updated, too many overlapping psych issues). Generally what someone does for fun is touched on fairly early on so a Gaming Disorder can be the first and only diagnosis given. Much like as mentioned before the widespread misdiagnosis of ADHD. This does depend on the provider of course, and whether they decide to ask what other problems the person has. I've had some do minimal work and give a misdiagnosis and others take their time. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a common intake diagnosis. In the end I'd rather not have fad diagnoses and treatments spread far when more reasonable solutions are just a couple more steps away for most people.

I also have parents who have worked in psych if that counts for anything. They had wanted me to go to med school for a significant portion of my life and still say I'd be a good nurse at the least, but I was determined to find my own way.

This is about research field, not the clinical field, though.
Many other medical conditions can be frequently misdiagnosed, as well. I don't think that has anything to say about their illegitimacy.

Types of Mental Health Professionals
Your doctor might refer you to any of the following mental health professionals:

Psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D. or D.O.) who specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating mental illness. A psychiatrist's training starts with four years of medical school and is followed by a one-year internship and at least three years of specialized training as a psychiatric resident. A psychiatrist is trained to differentiate mental health problems from other underlying medical conditions that could present with psychiatric symptoms. They also monitor the effects of mental illness on other physical conditions (such as problems with the heart or high blood pressure), and the effects of medicines on the body (such as weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, sleep, and kidney or liver functioning).
As a doctor, a psychiatrist is licensed to write prescriptions. Many mental disorders -- such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, or bipolar disorder -- can be treated effectively with specific drugs. If you are working with a psychiatrist, a lot of the treatment may be focused on medication management. Sometimes medication alone is enough to treat the mental illness. Sometimes a combination of medication and psychotherapy or counseling is needed. If that is the case, the psychiatrist may provide the psychotherapy, or the psychiatrist may refer you to a counselor or other type of mental health professional.

Psychologist. A psychologist has a doctoral degree (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) in psychology, which is the study of the mind and behaviors. Graduate school provides a psychologist an education in evaluating and treating mental and emotional disorders. After completing graduate school, a clinical psychologist completes an internship that lasts two to three years and provides further training in treatment methods, psychological theory, and behavioral therapy.
Licensed psychologists are qualified to do counseling and psychotherapy, perform psychological testing, and provide treatment for mental disorders. They are not, though, medical doctors. That means that, with the exception of a few states, psychologists cannot write prescriptions or perform medical procedures. Often a psychologist will work in association with a psychiatrist or other medical doctor who provides the medical treatment for mental illness while the psychologist provides the psychotherapy.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor. A psychological counselor is a mental health professional who has a master's degree (MA) in psychology, counseling, or a related field. In order to be licensed, the professional counselor also needs two additional years' experience working with a qualified mental health professional after graduate school. A mental health counselor is qualified to evaluate and treat mental problems by providing counseling or psychotherapy.

Clinical Social Worker. A clinical social worker has at least a master's degree in social work and training to be able to evaluate and treat mental illnesses. In addition to psychotherapy, social workers can provide case management and hospital discharge planning as well as work as an advocate for patients and their family.
