So how could the Fort Hood Shooter for example be innocent? Just as an example, we can go over more.

There are definitely people who are undeniably guilty, the question is do you think it's worth the collateral damage of all those who are wrongly convicted?

The only thing I found unnecessary was the racism, if Hitler dropped that perhaps Nazi Germany would still exist and their sphere of influence would spread without the need of wars or colonialism.

There's a pretty valid argument that if Hitler had stayed on course with his plans but been a little less racist, then all the brilliant Jewish scientists who defected to the allies would have stayed in Germany and created the atomic bomb with the nazis first and won the war.

What is your opinion? Correct me if I'm wrong.

They say patriotism is the last vestige of a scoundrel. I don't see anything admirable in having a blind bias towards the country you just happen to be born into.

Dubstep is dead now guys, leave it to the yanks and the 13 year olds.

None of these come close. So far you've got a bunch of dead people who don't count, a guy in a band, a guy who famously drinks his own piss, and a faggy hip hop slacktivist who's just done the lunch run to mcdonalds. Even combined these guys aren't as badass as Choe.

If they had a documentary made about their life before they reached 3 I doubt that it would start ass good ass this

I raise you David Choe. David Choe ultimate gambling story, loses 16 million, bangs 50 hookers with lobster on his dick.

Honestly, this guy can tell stories that nobody else on the planet could match. Everything about this guy is insane.

Well if lil Wayne says something I guess nobody could ever possibly question such enlightened wisdom. A quote from lil Wayne is essentially a quote from Socrates.

This is probably going to be a complete non issue for most of the newgrounds community considering most of them are nerdy 13yo virgins..

Was just listening to this absolute wasteman mix and I just realised that it's been over 10 years since it was originally released :')

imo there have been very few people out there who can put out a mix of this caliber. Best hip hop DJ in the game.

Never said it didn't happen, I'm saying its ridiculous that people have been falling for the same scare tactics for nearly 50 years now.

Hardly? The general attitude towards the very real danger of climate change has basically been ah fuck it, lets ignore it.

This.

I'm struggling to see if there's much substance behind the rhetoric, what have you actually got already?

First and foremost I think I've got to actually hear your material first before I commit, but this sounds like an interesting project.

I can help you with background and character designs, however I only animate a little bit.

That's handy because I'm pretty lame with backgrounds, and I love the actual animation process.

Drop me a PM if you guys are up for it :)

Let's just achknoledge a couple things here.

1. OP is an obvious troll post, it's kind of funny how people in politics will seriously argue over something which was primarily intended to be a joke topic.

2. The jury is definitely in on the subject of climate change, it's a thing ok. The only people who deny it are idiots, or scientists funded by oil and big business.

3. If you move materials around on the surface of the earth, guess what? It's still on the earth. The earth will still weigh as much as it did before, so how is that going to affect the behavior of the moon? Plus remember that the crust of the earth is a weighs less than the skin of an apple weighs in comparison the rest of the apple.

4. Korriken is like 14 or something

Flynn tackling Heisenberg and calling the police isn't enough impact?

The rest of the episode was golden, I'm not displeased at all don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying this last leg of the season as much as I enjoyed season 1 and 2 originally, it just suprisised me a little how they didn't fully explore what could have been such an exciting / interesting scene with skyler and junior.

Not really, I can't see it really enhancing the story more than what we saw already did. Doing shit like that is why the walking dead is often so boring, and missing out on its potential. Don't milk anything.

I really don't buy that pox, you don't just stumble across a random 2003 study about this sort of shit, you obviously have the notion first and then google to find something that backs up your claim. I think you should just openly admit that you have an agenda here.

Are you saying that ethnic violence in England IS caused by integration policies then?

I have not looked into it at all so I don't know.

So lets backtrack slightly, you're having a go at people for expressing a viewpoint, which you haven't even read up on yourself. That's doesn't seem fair.

I don't know much about the Dutch. All I see is that they only have one official language: Dutch. Many Europeans speak multiple languages and that is not an advantage in the sense that if all of Europe spoke just one language, they would all be even better off.

Completely wrong there, there's extensive research out there pointing towards the model that different languages actually channel people's thought processes differently, for instance there are words in other languages for things and ideas that we simply don't have a word for in English. Id say that being bilingual actually makes you a richer person because you have more of a vocabulary of ideas to choose from. Like these.

India also has only 2 official languages: Indi and English. But they do have many diverse groups of people there.

Well if I was being pedantic I'd say they have No official state language, and speak at 7 divergences of Indian as well as English. While the Dutch speak Dutch, english, German, and to a lesser extent French, while still maintaining a very well functioning country politically, economically and educationally speaking.

I also imagine that it would take me about 2 minutes to find 30 newspaper articles where a member of one group fought with a member of another group over some bullshit.

Similarly I could probably find examples of members of THE SAME group fighting. It really wouldn't prove anything.

OMG why am I talking to you.

Yeah why are you? You never say anything worthwhile anyway.

Meh, debates online are by definition an absolute waste of time.

I just thought I'd mention 2 points for starters before I even begin to tackle this wall of incomprehensibly ill-conceived rant.

1. Claiming culture is not real is absurd. I'm not even going to bother outlining distinguishable cultural differences and traditions between countries because anyone should be able to think of plenty of examples off the top of their head.

2. This is the second time I've seen you make a topic which could be perceived as having racist undertones. Let me be clear that I'm not calling you Hitler or a racist, but why do you keep posting stuff like this that continually treads a little bit too far on the right?

I saw Facebook post after Facebook post call a politician some kind of evil Nazi for suggesting that ethnic violence in England is caused by their bad integration policies.

Are you saying that ethnic violence in England IS caused by integration policies then?

The endless horde of hipsters and "intellectuals" ( i.e. first year college students, sociology professors, social workers, writers, artists and feminists ) were outraged. That already should be a dead giveaway as to the right position to take on this issue.

Yes, stereotypes are what you should base your beliefs on, God forbid you base them on facts.

It got me to thinking... What the hell is a culture anyway? Look at definitions online and you soon realize that anything and everything can be defined as a culture if you want.

Well.... not really? Culture is a broad term but it is fairly well defined. If you were making the same claim about subcultures you'd have more of an argument, but culture needs to be a common national characteristic.

All societies are multicultural if you define culture broadly enough.

What is most striking is that these people take it as a fact that multiculturalism is good. I once talked to some beret-wearing idiot about how it's suboptimal to have two languages coexisting and this SUPER GENIUS called me a close-minded Hitler etc. etc. despite the obvious fact that yes, it is suboptimal for a wide variety of economic and social reasons to have two languages. In fact every language you add on beyond the first is just creating more problems.

I can't help but feel that you're ignoring the Dutch who do extremely well as a country, whilst speaking 4 languages, or maybe in 20 years will you possibly still be saying the same thing about India which will be the second largest economy after China whilst speaking 18 official languages? I think you just blindly ignore a load of contributing factors when you make claims like that.

Then he retorted with what all people say: Multiculturalism is good because then we can have different viewpoints!

Excuse me dipshits but I thought that's what SCIENCE and DEBATES were for. You know, that process where we not only come up with new ideas but ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT IF THEY ARE GOOD?

What is the point of having "different points of views" when you have no desire to find out which one is correct?

This is what I mean pox, you're desire to focus on points of view to do with race, multiculturalism, the differences in intelligence between different races, is what I find suspicious in someone who claims not to be pushing a racist agenda.

=======

On the flipside, multiculturalism is just plain bad in socio-economic terms. It correlates fairly highly with crime and violence as well as poor economic growth.
( http://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/4553005/alesinassrn_ethnicdiversity.pdf?sequence=2 )
Africa, for instance, has a very high rate of ethno-linguistic frationalization. Africa is VERY culturally diverse, as well as is the Middle East.

Yeh, because there's no other possible historical, financial or military factors that could otherwise contribute to the hot serving of shit pie in Africa or the Middle East. Again, very flimsy 'evidence'.

Look at this world map:
http://cdn3.chartsbin.com/chartimages/l_9678_0ea7fa3da5858289f99cec497acd5911

You can see there is a fairly large correlation with where most people would want to live and where diversity is lowest.

What correlation? Correl bullshit ation!

When is diversity good? Only in small amounts. Diversity is beneficial in the form of, say, going to a restaurant, having one Indian friend, or going to Paris for a week. It is BAD when it comes to many large groups coexisting together.

You'll notice that the people who preach for "diversity" usually have a very non-diverse group of friends. Facebook helps alleviate this as it keeps you in contact with people who you have met at some point but are no longer part of your immediate social circle. Sadly, these same "diversity proponents" are the first to block people from facebook ( or to disable youtube comments, as is famously the case with the current ongoing Atheism + / feminism debacle ).

great brainfart.

They mostly define diversity as "People of another skin color or country who agree with me".

Another advantage of "diversity" that is cited is basically taking highly skilled workers from abroad and letting them move here. It seems plain to me that we are not after their 'diverse viewpoints" but rather after their training. What's "multicultural" about hiring a skilled surgeon from France or Tokyo? We'd just hire him here if we could.

There's no need to put quotations around words like diversity or multiculturalism mate, if you take a surgeon from France or Tokyo you take them from one CULTURE to a different CULTURE, hence meshing the two together. The surgeon may incorporate something different from their culture into their new environment. In the UK we benefit hugely from immigration since we gain a load of skilled workers like your hypothetical surgeon who drive our economy and fill the demand we have for certain skilled roles.

It's absolutely false that religious, cultural or ethnic diversity has any tangible benefits in my view.

That's a great opinion you got there in an integrated, open world which is more connected now then it has ever been, what a progressive view. I'm glad you had the decency to add 'in my view' AKA fucking bullshit racist -

For the record, I know you're claiming not to be a racist. What I find ironic is that what you're trying to do is masquerade yourself as being liberal and open-minded because you're challenging conventional leftist ideals on multiculturalism and race, so by your own logic you're just as bad as those poxy beret wearing sociology teachers you despise ;)

The only thing that really produces results are ideas that are not culture dependant: Science, democracy, skepticism, capitalism etc.

I thought you said culture didn't exist? Didn't you just make a thread titled "Culture: It's not real."

A computer works just as well anywhere. Math works for aliens too.

OMG why am I talking to you.
