White board? Whatever happened to the good old fashioned blackboard, huh? I'll tell you what happened -- people got SCARED of the blackboard, that's what happened. People up and moved away from the nasty old blackboards with their chalk dust and aversion to fingernails. You want to talk about white flight? More like white BOARD flight! RACIST!

Uhhhh no. Did you read the Derbyshire article? He said you should make a clean, articulate black friend to inoculate yourself from charges of racism, and to not be alone in large groups of black people.
Derbyshire's article was about the unspoken things that people are too afraid to discuss when it comes to race. Whether or not you agreed with his opinions on the specifics -- which I don't -- his broader point that even DISCUSSING racial differences in anything but glowing terms has become taboo is very, very true.

Well, I have no idea if I'm considered one of them, but I've "raided" my account in the form of a loan that will be fully paid back in JAN 2015. Sadly, all the PM's and other "hardware" I purchased with that were lost in a recent snowstorm. So come FEB 2015 I'll be making a new loan to replace the PM's and other "hardware" that was lost.
No, it has nothing at all to do with the plans to nationalize and confiscate IRAs, 401ks and other retirement accounts. Nothing. At. All.

I do not trust to the safety of funds in any type of account. At all. The tax hit I took will seem like pocket change compared to losing it all. A bunch of numbers on a piece of worthless paper gauged in obsolete "Old US" Dollars. Our stock market numbers are a put-on, a sham.
This Cyprus thing is a foreshock tremor. Things are going to snowball. Related, I also think Dave Ramsey is a great guy with his heart in the right place - but will scream himself hoarse trying to tell everyone that the economy is stable and normal - invest, invest, invest. Sorry Dave. God, I trust... I do not trust to the motivations of man.

It wasn't just that, come on.
And as I said, I don't agree with his specifics.
The whole point of the article was that he was going to have The Talk with his kid. "The Talk" being those specifics that he felt he could impart regarding his beliefs of how to interact with minorities, specifically black people. I don't agree with those specifics. But the FRAME of his article was that The Talk had to be shrouded in secrecy because talking about race is verboten.
"The Talk" may be racist, but when any kind of discussion that includes race is itself racist, then every such discussion becomes "The Talk." THAT'S the problem. You're never going to get past racist mindsets on either side if you're not allowed to talk openly about what you believe, so that those who would contradict you can come forward and say, "Hey now, you say that, but you don't know about XY and Z."
That's how minds get changed and opinions evolve. Otherwise all you have are white people and black people and orange people and yellow people and brown people and green people and purple people taking their children aside, sitting them down, and giving them "The Talk" about how all of those Other Colors out there are terrible people who must be avoided.

If we had a media outlet we could put daily reminders on the news about how Democrats opposed Missile defense and SDI, and how they fought tooth and nail to prevent any such systems for being built. We could remind the public how Democrats were very wrong and stridently so, on this issue.

In 2008, you could still find CD's at 4%-5%. The Fed and their artificially low interests has killed that. You're lucky to find. .5% now.
$100 at 5% from 2008 to 2013 = $127.63
So, they've already stolen $28 out of your $100 account. (and given it to the banks. Who've funneled it back to the Feds.)
But wait! It gets worse: Inflation.
Officially, $100 in 2008 has the same buying power as $107.39 in 2013.
There's another $7 they've stolen from you.
$35.02 out of $100. 35/100 = 35%
Yeah, the folks in Cyprus are getting a hell of a lot better deal than we have.

This is exactly my point. *IF* we had what the Democrats have, A news media who will constantly turn into "news" any story damaging to us, we could run footage of Asshole bastards like Ted Kennedy and Tip O'neal, mocking Reagan and his SID initiative, and doing everything they could to stand in the way of it's development.
The Democrats were badly wrong on this issue (as with everything else) and the story about how badly wrong they were needs to get out to the public. But it won't, because it would make Democrats look stupid. Since the media is entirely ran by Democrats, they simply aren't going to let a "Democrats are Stupid" story get on the air.

I mentioned this or rather bitched about this on an overnight thread. The NRA was supposed to send me my complimentary gift which was a carry bag after I specifically marked that I wanted it when I sent in my membership dues, as opposed to donating that cost back to the NRA. .
I received my membership card about 4 weeks later but no bag. Instead I got another card they said I had to fill out and send back if I wanted the bag and stated again that I had the option to decline in order to donate the cost back to the organization.
I know its seems petty, but this pisses me off to no end. If you didn't want to give something away, don't freaking offer it. Sleazy move bitches.

They'd tell East Asians to STFU, too, if East Asians didn't tend to keep their heads down and work hard to get ahead in life despite being considered de facto white in this day and age. *sigh*
I'm so tired of being forced to see someone's skin color, or eye shape, or gender, or (insert special interest group defining feature here), instead of being allowed to just see them as PEOPLE. But by golly, if you're anywhere near a Democrat stronghold (and plenty of Republican ones, too), you WILL acknowledge a person's race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation first and foremost, because we are all defined primarily and definitively by our tribes!
Who we are as individuals? Pah. Meaningless.

A few years back I went down to La Salle. On the way out I made a wrong turn and headed North.
Before I could say "OMG", I was in this neighborhood that was B&W. I don't necessarily mean the people either. It was like a fell into a B&W photo album. All the homes and streets were shades of gray. It was like they were in 19th century Philly, with coal-stained buildings.

I know it's a typo and should be "Satan," but I just get a kick out of the idea that Satan would go by "Stan" on earth.
Though when you look at some of the regions of the world today that sport a -stan in their name -- Pakistan, Afghanistan -- you're pretty close to Hell on earth, so maybe it's not such a farfetched idea.

I'm so tired of being forced to see someone's skin color, or eye shape, or gender, or (insert special interest group defining feature here), instead of being allowed to just see them as PEOPLE. But by golly, if you're anywhere near a Democrat stronghold (and plenty of Republican ones, too), you WILL acknowledge a person's race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation first and foremost, because we are all defined primarily and definitively by our tribes!
But, be warned Citizen, you cannot, under any circumstances, refer to anyone as a man or a woman in your conversations: all references will henceforth be gender-neutral.
Confused? Hey, we're just doing our job.

Noting that there are differences in behavior between various groups is not racist as I understand the term. Had such an article been written in the 1930s urging young black men to avoid large concentrations of white people (during the era of lynchings for no reason) it would have been very appropriate. It is just acknowledging the ugly reality.
The same rule applies to any large gathering of people who are different, and it is not just being different about race. Don't be a Christian at an Islamist Festival. (Dearbornistan)

Raspail. It was written in 1973 but is so goddamned prophetic that it's frightening. From Wikipedia: "The Camp of the Saints" is a 1973 French apocalyptic novel by Jean Raspail about the disastrous effects of Third World mass immigration to France and the West and the destruction of western civilizatiuon in the process.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized on Monday a levy imposed by the European Union on bank deposits in Cyprus as unfair and setting a dangerous precedent.
"While assessing the proposed additional levy on bank accounts in Cyprus, Putin said that such a decision, should it be made, would be unfair, unprofessional and dangerous," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.

One of my black friends is an old drug dealer/ pimp who has left the streets. I remember talking to him about six years ago (when he was still on the street) regarding the difference between young black men and older black men. He said he doesn't fuck with these young punks. He said that most of his life, if someone started something, they'd "get it on." He said "Nowadays these little gangbangers will pull out a pistol and pop a cap in you over nothing."
Are you trying to say he's racist because he notices how much more dangerous are young blacks nowadays? He's just pointing out the obvious.

Posted by: EC at March 18, 2013 10:44 AM (GQ8sn)
We use 239, but the isotope doesn't need to degrade to it's half life in order to fail detonation. The design parameters of our atomic bombs are secret, but there are real world limitations on how long a bomb core can operate after it is manufactured. The designs allow for some degree of degradation.
I happened to have known a man who's job it was to rebuild nuke warheads. He didn't go into the details, but he did say the cores had to be replaced on a regular basis to maintain design parameters.

I think that is a bit extreme, but it is a judgement call. I would suggest he is being concerned about the possibility of car jacking. The tactic normally used is to fein distress hoping a sucker will pull over.
Sometimes car jackers will have a woman posing as in distress, and when someone pulls over, the male will come out of hiding. Not cool.

Obama, on the other hand, can't help but stick his fucking rat-face in everybody's business like the busybody rat-bastard that he is.

I have a black, female acquaintance who says she dreads the thought of a white stranger approaching her to offer help. I don't doubt there is a lot of distrust on both sides of the equation.

You are obviously young and ignorant. That you are young is evident by the fact that you can't remember conservative policy prior to George W. Bush. It might have been the Bush team who believed in playing global cops, but they were hardly conservative. They have been referred to as "neo-cons" for a reason.
Historically, conservatives have long been against playing police man for the world.

I was going to point out that Russia has it's own Islamist problem, but I figured it wasn't worth the trouble. The guy is obviously young and ignorant.

No doubt you are a citizen of the world. And probably a good representation of one as well. Another reason why things are in such a mess.

I find the topic very interesting. If you haven't already read it, I recommend "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" and "Dark Sun, the Making of the Hydrogen bomb" both by Richard Rhodes.
A lot of history in both books.

I love to hear him talk about anything related to his old job. He laughs and says most of it was boring bullshit government type stuff that you still see today. He did tell me an interesting nugget concerning Israel's Iron Dome system. He saw a clip of it in action and noticed some details in the background and recognized that the system is a chemical laser of the H-F type. That's a quote "not fucking around" type laser.

Of this there can be no doubt. My oldest friend is a black guy, and he has been obsessed with racism ever since i've known him. (30 years.) We would speak frankly about it occasionally. Most of the time I tried to steer the conversation in another direction. He was convinced that most white people are motivated primarily by racism.
Posted by: DiogenesLamp at March 18, 2013 07:25 AM (bb5+k)
Stop confusing him with reality.
Can't you see he's a product of the public education system?
It's cruel to pick on the handicapped.
Posted by: Sean Bannion at March 18, 2013 07:26 AM (sbV1u)
That's right. All the stuff white people like and have were stolen from black people.

My recollection of the chemical lasers is that they can produce some very high power, but they also produce some seriously toxic and dangerous by products. If they are using one of those, they they are really "not fucking around" , but are deadly serious.
Fortunately, the latest technology has the navy successfully combining multiple laser systems into an amalgamated beam. Last I recall, they were producing 100kw beams, with 1 megawatt coming up.
We are going to see beam weapons in our life time.

That's the attitude I encounter in cities. It's generally less of a problem the farther out you go.
The bottom line is, if that's the way he thinks, fine. No sense in pounding your head against the wall. But I once offered the point to someone (a black person) that if you look at all whites as racists, then they're going to tend to be convinced there's nothing they can do or say to change you mind, and they will avoid you because they don't need that hassle. In short, your view becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
For pointing this out, he called me a racist.
Yeah....we don't talk anymore.

Yes. He recognized the laser pulse, and the non-descript looking equipment in the background that gave it away. I always thought it was some sort of kinetic interceptor system (bullet on bullet), but the laser thing makes more sense. That's probably why it works so well. I told him if I had a laser like that, I would carve my name in the side of a mountain or other stupid teenager type shit. "EC pwnz U!!!"
He's one of the few people left that have a lifetime of experience in lasers that intersect with nuclear fuel enrichment and refinement. For whatever reasons, he left that life behind and is doing something else, still involving lasers, but now his son works for a big multinational tech firm (not saying which) that is restarting work on ideas he had more than 30 years ago. He just smiles at how the universe works.

Well, that's just what you get for telling the truth.

While I fully recognize that constitutional protections afforded the press are intended to protect the media from censorship by the government, the First Amendment, like other constitutional rights, is not an unfettered right, and notwithstanding the First Amendment, a publisher has a duty to the public to exercise its role in a responsible way. I ask the {Philadelphia Human Relations] Commission to evaluate whether the “speech” employed in this essay is not the reckless equivalent of “shouting ‘fire!’ in a crowded theater,” its prejudiced, fact-challenged generalizations an incitement to extreme reaction.
... i call on our esteemed US Attorney General, Eric Holder ...
"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," Holder declared.
