Texas Cop Vapes Confiscated Weed on Cruiser Camera

surfingyt says...

initially some do exist but when their union and coworkers cover up all the time and IA is defunded and simpletons like beeeewb bootlick all day the whole bushel goes. this dolt was probably praised most of his career for his continuous quota busting record, instead it should be a red flag.

Why Was the Islamic Golden Age of Science… Golden?

vil says...

Last names as a way to determine ethnic diversity, lost me there.

Cool though, that makes my sister latin american.

Too bad I am stuck with a name thats probably German in origin.

Diversity is fine. It was the tolerance of the society to entertain the notion that feeding a bunch of good for nothing intellectuals was a noble idea that made a golden age possible. Also the possibility to travel and communicate, the spread of information was helpful. Language barriers came down. That tolerance ended around 1250. Muslim lands were still ethnically diverse after that, but no more tolerance for science.

So tolerance of different ideas, customs, religions, foreigners and races seems more important than attempting to induce diversity artificially.

Tolerance naturally leads to diversity - you can see this in areas like scientific teams, hi-tech companies, or top sports teams. If you want the best people you arrive at not evaluating their race, but their abilities. That is if the society around you lets you do that.

My friends son just spent 6 months working in a chemical lab in Sweden. Met few Swedes, mostly worked with people from all over the world. So he helped with a Swedish project, he can now go back to work on his own project and he knows all these people from around the world who work on similar stuff. No one gives a damn about what ethnicity any of the people involved are or if the lab was "diverse". They all concentrate on the project. If a commision goes in and starts counting how many Laplandian scientists are filling a quota the scientists would show the (imaginary) commision their collective middle finger or just leave.

So i would argue that ethnically diverse scientific teams are not more succesful because they are diverse, they are more successful because they are open and tolerant (and that has led to their diversity).

Forcing diversity will not bring the same result.

Long? Sorry.

LAST WEEK IN CULTURE

newtboy says...

Actually, I find it informative to know what the q-anon crowd is claiming first hand, it gives me the opportunity to research it and have some facts ready to debunk the insanity in real life.
I am curious why he likes to post 1/2 hour far right propaganda videos he knows will get maybe 3 views and zero votes constantly. It seems like a waste of time for him. Maybe he has a quota to meet?

"can't take back no hurt"

BSR says...

Sounds like someone isn't making his quota. But hang in there and be tough otherwise you'll have learned nothing... again.

But pulling up hate from 44 years ago and and trying to imply racism of 50 years ago is the same/ worse today is laughable.

Portrait of Lotte, from birth to 20 years old

Payback says...

The flu, partying night before...

I just think it's bizarre behaviour of all involved. As it's happened since birth, she's normalized it, but being programmed to think being recorded is just another weekly chore -like I had to collect and take out the trash- is an alien concept to me.

She has achieved her Warhol Quota though...

EDIT: Her brother Vince is being documented too:

Mass Shootings On The Rise

BSR says...

I think you have to meet a certain quota of dead and injured now, otherwise it would be nothing but mass shootings everyday and then it would be just too humdrum.

You know, for a while there, with the poor economy and the school shootings, parents were reluctant to spend money to put braces on their children's teeth.

newtboy said:

Side note....can anyone tell me why Chicago isn't getting reported? Two mass shootings there on Sunday, 7 dead, 46 wounded. It's not even mentioned on national news, but El Paso and Dayton are dominating it. What gives?

Shift in Economic data since Trump Election

newtboy says...

Sorry, Bob has used up his quota of propaganda I'm willing to watch and debunk in one week with his "walls closing in on Obama" nonsense. This will have to wait for me to become bored enough to debunk more nonsense. Right now I'm not prepared to subject myself to more narcissistic self congratulatory ridiculousness by the Orange one's sycophants.

BSR said:

Hang in there, Bob.

newtboy will be with you momentarily.

Chicago Police Leaving Bait Truck full of Nikes Near Park

Sagemind says...

I can't help but agree that the Jail systems in the US are a HUGE problem!! Jails should NEVER be a for profit business.

Hitting quotas for prisoners is the most disgusting thing I can think of when it comes to crime.

I guess, the biggest question here is the reasoning behind the Sting operation. Is this to fight a car robbery streak, or is this to fill quotas. That's a good thing the public should be asking - because that matters, and makes a huge difference.

The Check In: Betsy DeVos' Rollback of Civil Rights

newtboy says...

What I mentioned was couched as a quota/limit for Asian kids, not an advantage for white ones. It might not still exist, it was a while back and I'm well out of school.

Yes, reservations allow discrimination based on heritage.

Yeah, don't listen to people who watch breitbart, Fox, or Jones. Just walk away, they're either insane, liars, or dupes.

The racism you complain about is only meant to mitigate the racist policies and reality those students suffer from because we aren't working to end it. Like I said on your profile, we are making the disparities bigger here by defunding programs that do help and are mostly means based, not race based. We're idiots.

I think you need to stop thinking in terms of what you think society will tolerate. You should talk for yourself, maybe your group, but society will tolerate more than you could imagine. The groups getting the assistance tolerated FAR more than someone cutting the line at college. You forget, it's society that created these plans, not some outside group forcing them on you.

I'm not wrong, these programs are decades old with no revolution starting because of them, and there's less effort to crack that nut daily.

There's no racist law against whites here, only a few programs benefiting other groups. You can claim that's against whites, but then you must admit the totality of law and society is against minorities....at least here.

Not true here....sorry. we've survived giving disadvantaged groups a leg up for quite some time, and haven't resorted to using the military to enforce it since desegregation in the 60's.

The Hamilton Mixtape: Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)

StukaFox says...

I have an honest question for you: would you have turned away the Jews escaping the Holocaust because, according to quotas on Jews at the time, their entry into the US would have been considered illegal?

bobknight33 said:

Immigrants and illegal immigrant are 2 different things. No one is against immigrants just the illegal ones.

The illegal ones. break the law. Build a wall had have less people breaking the law.

This is not a Racists thing as you say. Its people ignoring the law.

This issue has been going on for decades. No political official had the balls to fix this mess. Now there is some one trying and taking arrows for it.

Can robots process crab?

eric3579 says...

I don't think the ability to processes faster has anything to do with how much crab will be processed. Pretty sure there are quotas on crab.

"We Have Monthly Ắbortion Quotas" Planned Parenthood

Reveal: Inside America's Cold Case Problem

newtboy says...

They don't get a bonus, they avoid a reprimand for not meeting quotas.

For profit prison means all those costs are more reason to lock people up, not reason to avoid imprisonment. Yes, it costs us, but makes money for police departments and prisons. The prison guard union is one of the most aggressive, well funded, and successful lobbies in Washington.
That's the profit he's talking about. No one pays for a recovered missing person, but there's money to be had incarcerating a pot smoker. Engage your brain before you spout ridiculousness....if you have the capability.

SeesThruYou said:

Oh really? Care to share your hard data on that claim? I've never heard of cops getting a bonus for solving one type of crime over another. Oh, right, because it doesn't happen. Maybe you're a drug offender and just pissed because you got caught. If anything, locking up drug offenders is MORE EXPENSIVE, because we pay to process them through the system, and then we have to pay to keep them in jail, or pay to send them to rehab programs, which usually DON'T work, which means they'll be back in the system AGAIN, costing us even MORE money. There's NO PROFIT in locking up criminal scumbags, dumbass. This is not the case with missing persons, because once you find a missing person, they go back to their families (if they're alive) and the cops move on to the next case, and those cops get paid the same the entire time they are looking for them. What profit are you talking about? Engage your fucking brain before speaking, peasant.

officer Izzo-a message and a plea to the public

Sagemind says...

Yes @enoch
I did watch a few of his videos, including the one you point out.
My neighbor before I moved was RCMP. Nicest guy you'd ever meet. It's interesting to see officers from another perspective.
There are a lot of corrupted ones, tarnished ones, and otherwise over-zealous ones. The quotas and demands of superiors doesn't help the system either.
I just like to see all aspects, it helps to remind us of the mind-set that goes into doing that job and the types of personalities in the position of demanded respect. (as opposed to earned respect).

enoch said:

@Sagemind
yeah,i am with you on the balanced perspective thing,but with three negative comments and 0 votes,i didn't feel it was going to fair very well on the sift.

i think the main problem is that i had watched a bunch of this officers videos,and i found him to be reasonable,and he made a lot of really good points.

check out the link that i posted for newtboy,i think that was the first video of his that i watched that peaked my curiosity.

maybe i will post that video instead.
