  1. It's a misconception that the death penalty is about deterrence. It's really about justice.

     

    It's the reason why our society emphasize "fair and just" punishments for crime. If the purpose is to prevent crime, the severity has to be disproportionate to the act. (like Sharia Law)

  2. the first report i heard described the shooter as having a 'bowl cut' hair style...first thought was it was someone from an amish order, but having a car didn't fit that. very weird and terribly sad.

    British?

    The man hunt is over.

     

     

    According to Roof's Facebook page, he lives in Columbia, S.C., and attended White Knoll High School in Lexington. In his profile photo, Roof is wearing a jacket with emblazoned with the flags of Rhodesia, an unrecognized South African state that later became part of Zimbabwe, and apartheid-era South Africa. Here is that profile photo:
  3. They are billions behind on road and infrastructure maintenance because of the recession. Now that the economy has begun to rebound they're using the higher tax revenues to add new spending programs instead of paying off their debt.

     

    Sounds reasonable.

     

    Healthcare for illegals! Just as long as they don't need to use roads to get to the doctor.

  4. There's a very simple solution to this issue. Have her walk up to a cop on the street. If she survives, she's white.

    Won't work. Cops have orders to ignore crimes now.

     

    A better indicator would be to have Dolezal shoot a black teenager. If there are riots, then she's white. If it's ignored, then she's black.

  5. There is no such thing as a mixed poor/rich neighborhood.

     

    Downtown used to be reserved for the rich until they fled to satellite villages as hordes of poor people moved in. When the poor decided to move to the 'burbs to escape their urban ghetto, guess where the rich moved?

     

    Not many residents will follow Clint Eastwood's example of staying in the same neighborhood as it goes down the crapper.

  6. What about the "One Drop Rule?" Maybe one of her German grandmas was shnooking a black man? Wouldn't the gene be there?

     

    Of course I am not defending victimhood, but don't the parents realize it doens't end with them and their heritage? The black gene is dominant. Black can't have white, but white can have black. Isn't there a DNA test... Or does it work like that? Any experts... LOL!

    There is no "race" gene in DNA.

     

    What they actually do is identify DNA traits that are common in isolated cultural groups. It doesn't mean that other groups don't possess these same genes, just that it's more common in some groups more than others.

     

    For example. Let's say a tribe in Arkansas got separated from civilization and had a cultural norm of chopping off the right hand as a punishment. Over several generations the group develops a left-handed society, before eventually breaking out of their bubble to spread out their genes all over the world. Then some scientist further in the future sees a left-handed person in Texas and concludes that's it's very likely that he had ancestors from Arkansas. It's not a very conclusive science.

    What happened is that baby Nmachi is a blond, blue-eyed white baby born to two black Nigerian immigrant parents at a London hospital.

     

    Dispel the myth that black parents can't have a white baby. It's happened quite a few times. If the genes are present, it can be passed on. Dominant genes just have better odds of being passed on.

  7. Her look changes quite a bit when she layers on the orange tan and curly afro, but in many pictures, it's obvious she's white.

    Charlize Theron is African-American.

     

    I love Dolezal's response when asked if she was African-American: That everyone is descended from tribes in Africa. So true. We're all African if you go back long enough.

    Next time, they should ask her if she is black.

  8. Mentioned to the wife this week is I'm glad we don't have a grass yard to water. We redid it all in drought resistant plants....for the most part anyway. I still have my tomatoes. :D

    I'm doing the opposite. All I have are desert plants and gravel. I'm going to put in some grass.

    The problem is that I can't find any sod. Going to have to grow it from seeds.

  9. It got me thinking, prior to the ACA, I'm not doing what I'm doing today. At the same time, the cost of our plan makes what we're doing nearly impossible to get started. My experience so far, bittersweet.

     

    A good thing about the ACA is that it helped me realize just how much I was taking my employer's health insurance benefits for granted, as well as helping the company recruit more candidates. Interviewees pay attention to the benefits as well as the salary offered.

  10.  

    That sounds like a reasonable way to handle it to me - if they're just little kids, it seems okay to me to let them all have a small trophy for completing their season, while awarding larger, more spectacular trophies for those who did the best. They receive a small award that they can be proud of, while being incented to go for the big one next year.

     

    This solution has some problems to it as well.

     

    I was training a new hire at work and after a month he was proud of the fact that he showed up to work every day. He actually asked me how much was the bonus for attendance. I just told him that he's supposed to show up to work every day on time.

     

    This is the generation that is now entering the workforce.
