QFT: "Another example of the "you owe me" culture."

He should be reprimanded the way Singapore does it

They're actually building a fully operational Death Star?

This movie has a huge budget.

QFT: "So fine, argue about the politics, or about your religion, or about your other philosophies, but emergent scientific truths, that ought to be the foundation upon which everything else is discussed... these are not subject to your opinions."

For readers who aren't versed in U.S. crime, many home-invasion robberies like this result in women like her being sexually assaulted and getting STDs. But in this case, she was saved by her gamer friends calling the cops. Recent example.

Being racist basically refers to being mean. I'm not being mean. I'm a humanist who cares about human rights.

What I said is true that the reason South Africa has so much more wealth than it's neighbors is because European folks built it, and now much of it has decayed.

The famous Black economist Thomas Sowell speaks openly about such issues, ("Are Race Riots News?") so it's definitely a larger trend.

Would you object if African-Americans were 600% more likely to be convicted for murder?

Such an outcome would be completely just and fair because they are in fact 600% more likely to commit murder. That's where the bulk of the disparity in conviction rates comes from.


I'm a liberal who wants to continue living in a liberal world. Honest data is not evil, and when liberals downplay it, they fuel the rise of the far-right. The far-right is currently sweeping European elections only because liberals refuse to be reasonable. Please keep liberalism competitive, so the far-right would no longer be able to attract moderates.

The assailant had to run pretty far before he was in pistol range.

If the biker had been more wary, like concealed carry folks are, he'd have rode off in the opposite direction immediately.

The reason South Africa has so much more wealth than it's neighbors is because European folks built it.

After they weren't in power anymore, the skyscrapers they built fell into decay, Detroit style.


Expect to see more of that as Whites become minorities in all of their nations (except Russia) in the coming decades.

People of all ancestries should vote against immigration if they like stable societies.

The reason there are more African-American police deaths is because African-Americans have a 600% higher average murder rate.

Liberals think the police deaths are out-of-proportion only because they're not aware of the out-of-proportion crime rate among Africans (in all countries).


(On the other hand, treat everyone as individuals, and know that genetic engineering will eventually create equality where liberalism failed.)

Almost as good as the Predator's invisibility suit, but much cheaper!

I think the difference is that hundreds of thousands of dollars are of real use to humankind. I'd be happier investing that money, knowing that the company I invested in is doing stuff for humankind.

Or invest the money in your kids' abilities, and put them on an elite life track.

And if previous generations had spent less money on temporary pleasure, we'd have cured aging already. So when humankind just wants to have fun, your life is on the line.



@Fletch said: "you think the computer would be "as fun"? I'm sad for you."

That's fair. Yes, I don't think we should place much value on fun itself.

I think we're happiest when we derive our pleasure from things we built and from continually increasing our abilities.

Is saving lives really worth the inconvenience of having your house searched?

Personally, I'd rather be dead.
