When people are doing a handstand and they fall over, isn't their natural instinct to collapse their arms, so they go into a roll?

That's particularly true when we know we're surrounded by glass tables.

She keeps her arms completely straight, so that she'd fall flat, straight onto the table (assuming it's not shopped in).


(This just adds one more unlikely variable that'd have to happen in order for this to occur in real life.

It seems like a more likely explanation than "racism" is HBD (human bio-diversity).

Far fewer Asian male / White female pairings are expected merely based on that the bell curve of heights for Whites is farther to the right than the bell curve of heights for Asians.


In other words, in 500 years, regardless of how much politically correct self-flagellating has occurred, the ratio of Asian male / White female pairings will not have increased, because the HBD bell curves will have stayed the same.

Many ethnic patterns will only change once we start editing our babies' genomes in a few decades. Then wait 30 years for those babies to reach age 30. Liberals and Conservatives will both oppose it for the first 50 years, and then will support it afterwards.

Just take Vitamin D.

Most people are deficient.

It's the one vitamin everybody should be taking.

@Buck said: "We should close factory farms and teach people how to hunt again."

Hunting can't scale to support a larger population than a hunter-gatherer tribe. So the cost of meat would skyrocket because demand stays high, and supply can't increase.

Meat costing $75 per pound instead of $5 per pound would be a huge reduction in quality of life for everybody.

That's why humans left hunter-gatherer lifestyles in the first place.


The answer will probably end up being the vat-grown meat Silicon Valley is working on now. It will be the health equivalent of organic and free range meat, since it's not fed pesticide food, antibiotics, etc.

Islam is definitively associated with cliterectomies (Shafi law, the hadiths, etc). (NSFW medical photos.)

For example, in Egypt, 95% of married women have been subject to genital mutilation.

I guess on some issues, Coulter isn't as ignorant as ourselves



Chechnya surely has lower rates, but:
1. Chechnya still has primitive, violent attitudes toward women ("honor" killings).
2. Coulter is talking about Islamic culture in general, the same way the Boston bombings were intended to be on behalf of Islam in general, rather than on behalf of Chechnya alone.

Work to decrease stats like the 95% in Egypt, rather than pretending associations don't exist

A kid running into the path of a moving object should be glad it wasn't a bicyclist or car.

The skater wrongly assumed she had the same cultural assumptions as himself.

He should have had his guard up early on... use the skateboard to block. She only attacked because she could see he wasn't prepared.

A lot of people in life have to take what jobs are available to them. So I don't blame the workers.

But I do blame the tourists who are creating the demand... wanting to pay money to waste their time watching these things.

(Young people in Thailand should learn a technical trade, like programming.)

"David Blaine's How to Use Magic Tricks to Get Laid with Rural Teenagers."

Wow, I hadn't read a lot of that, like about Trayvon's autopsy report.


We all started on Trayvon's side because the initial journalism was just printing whatever his parents' lawyers told them to print, including photos of him as a 12 year-old.

But we had to change our positions once more facts came to light.



Thanks for the link

"The talk" that White, Latino, and Asian parents have with their children goes like this:

1. 90% of violent interracial crime involves a Black perpetrator and a White victim... but nobody cares.

2. Black teenagers die 1000% more from fellow Blacks than from Whites... but nobody cares.

Journalists like to make Marissa Alexander look innocent so they can get more click-throughs, but you can find a summary here, and scroll down to read the actual court documents that journalists are ignoring.

She knew she was guilty and that she was risking being sentenced under mandatory sentencing laws, but she still refused to take the plea deal for 3 years.


That being said, there does seem to be wide agreement that this isn't the intended type of case for these mandatory sentencing laws, and perhaps changes will result from that.


People who actually live in Greece would kill to have the opportunities people in the US have... even if they don't take advantage of them.

And there is the same as here; you can't shoot at people, narrowly missing them, in order to win an argument, and then go assault them again once you're out on bail.

You're not talking about the Sweden that's declining into a dystopia, are you?

"Is there any last thing you'd like to say... perhaps wish for world peace, or refute the completely inaccurate stereotypes about you and your boyfriend?

[Jeantel:] "'Nigga.' People should use that word more often."

"I see. Well hopefully we can get that added to the Oxford English Dictionary, and we'll have done our part to accelerate the decline of civilization. Thank you for watching."

It's legal to shoot someone who's in the middle of trying to kill you.

That applies even when that person is only armed with lethal fists and lethal concrete.
