Looked like an obvious fail to me as soon as I saw what the "I" stands for.

A choice of article I have to read out of a possible 10 for an assignment in my engineering ethics class.
Fucking shoot me.

address, and preferred firearm of choice. I can then come over-though you'll have to pay for travel arrangements.  :P

frankly, I could always share any given Paul Krugman article I have to read for my current writing arguments assignment. luckily, I can at least say I rate them "fuckballs" in my papers.
Meh

123 Fake Street, The Moon, and the spaghetti cannon. :P  And I hope you accept monopoly board game money. ^_^

But seriously, yeah...the worst part is we discuss them in class with several elitist pricks.

The first video I've ever flagged both bullying and child abuse.

From the above video's comment section:

"Epic win on this one. Kids have it to easy these days. I mean seriously, is it that hard to do what is asked of you? I mean one of my big chores growing up was going and mowing five acres every couple of weeks. Once I started working my parents wouldnt by me anything unless it was a gift for my birthday or the holidays. Ordinarily I would say that it was a waste of a laptop and ammo, but in this case it is justified." --yuu2005

saw it this afternoon actually. if he really wanted to punish her, why didn't he just appropriate the PC for himself for a few days? with the way he dealt with it, it's only going to make the relationship between the two worse. I ought to know, I saw my brothers' reactions to similar things my parents did.

then again, I'm putting more logic into it than he is.

True, but then I'd say that a rock puts more logic and reason into it than the pillock in the video.

Darkone173's posts...

Do these people seriously think I've never heard all that patronizing, political gobbledeygook before?
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"

I love how not being a racist makes someone an "egalitarian". Kind of like claiming these racist militias he wants are some sort of free market utopia.

Race and Brain Size:
http://www.velesova-sloboda.org/archiv/pdf/lynn-race-differences-in-intelligence.pdf "

what I find funny is the PDF about race and brain size: they don't actually address the problem in question properly, and they (and fringeelements) are not very scrupulous in citing sources: half are severely outdated, and I detect hints of arguments "by majority"*, and definite quote mining in the paper itself, as well as in the video. the telling part is when you get to the tables of IQ (itself a useless measurement): look at it carefully, and you'll see a bleetingly obvious problem.

furthermore, he is making the ridiculous logical fallacy that "X is untrue, therefore, Y must be true" bullshit: just because Gould was wrong about the reasoning of a specific researcher, doesn't validate the idea that people actually are inferior mentally speaking to one another by race: all this new research reveals is that there are indeed variations in skull proportions-including absolute brain size. In fact, it is expected: brain size is a function not just of geography, but also of body size and even diet. and Gould was still correct in one respect: Brain size alone is not enough to explain intelligence. Neanderthals had bigger brains than we did-as far as I know, they haven't replaced us.

perhaps fringeelements should be more careful in picking his sources. and perhaps he himself needs a lesson in honesty.

*they harp on the whole "races are real" idea. and they cite some polish group or other as being in agreement that these exist.

EDIT: oh, and you should check out the criticism regarding Lynn and his research: he has been caught practicing dishonest sampling techniques (see the Wikipedia article on the author to see some examples-yes, I have verified it, and Wikipedia cites the sources well enough).

"@AlpaDog1983 when you raise the highest income tax brackets, business owners take money they would've pocketed and reinvest it back into their businesses because if they hit those higher brackets, most of it goes to the government anyway. when the top bracket was 90% in the 50's, CEO's made about 40x the average worker - now that taxes are at an all-time low, CEO's are taking home upwards of 400x because they're keeping more for themselves and laying off workers to save $ instead of hiring." --EskimoShowdown, in the comments of this video:  [yt]TqFzhm89LEU[/yt]

Which is also a fail.

"and laying off workers to save $ instead of hiring."

It's ironic that Socialists used to claim that Capital owners made money from the workers labor without doing any work, but now they must obviously run a loss from any employee for that strategy to work.

When Senator Jon Kyl was called on his BS for claiming90% of what  Planned Parenthood did was abortion when it is more like 3% his office released a statement.
