turtlespeed 212 #26 March 18, 2016 DanGI guess I don't find that very offensive. I don't even know is Nigg is black. It is a stupid joke, but I don't consider it a particularly offensive one. I get it. I don't either, other than it is just one more way to prolong the racism we have throughout the world. What's the saying, "Manage the pennies and the dollars take care of the selves."?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coreeece 2 #27 March 18, 2016 wmw999In these days of the "end of political correctness," when it's just fine to say joke about whatever the fuck you want to (as long as the guy you're talking to is less powerful or weaker than you are), there's nothing to call out. FIFY Growing up in a culturally diverse city with a history of emotionally charged racial issues, we found humor as a positive outlet to address our differences without ignoring them. In retrospect, it's as if laughing at ourselves belittled the power behind racism that had divided us for so long. I think people like Chris Rock understand that - which is why he's been so successful, especially in diffusing a variety of emotionally charged issues through humor - most recently, the academy awards. Now I understand some people just don't get it - their first reaction is to go on the offensive and try to shut people down - forcing the issues into the subtle alcoves of society hoping that it'll just go away. But where has that gotten us? Nowhere. Racial issues are just as emotionally charged as ever, and the only way it's gonna stop is either through humor or war - black midgets fighting white midgets.Never was there an answer....not without listening, without seeing - Gilmour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #39 May 10, 2016 Quotewhat if the shoplifter's first two convictions were child molestation and the 3rd was just shoplifting?...... I would hope that after the second conviction for child molestation, the offender would be behind bars forever anyway. What SkyDekker is complaining about are the three strikes laws that don't discriminate how serious the offenses actually were. If we had sensible sentencing instead of sentencing based on baseball, you wouldn't have the situations at either extreme (two time murderer up on a jaywalking charge, and three time shoplifter getting put away for life). - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,061 #40 May 10, 2016 Hi rehmwa, Quoteand the 3rd was just shoplifting?...... It really depends upon the laws & the judge. A guy in high school ( back in the 50's ) did a year at MacLaren for stealing just one french fry. He had been on some form of juvenile probation and had been warned to not get into any more trouble. While walking along the beach at the Oregon coast, he reached out and took one french fry from a small kid. The kid's dad grabbed him & held him until the authorities came. He ended up back before a judge, who gave him the year inside. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacLaren_Youth_Correctional_Facility Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, in your logic, asking a question leads you to believe that I know the answer to something that has made you speechless with anger, but you don't know the answer, so you really shouldn't be upset because you don't know the story. Personally - I reserve the hatred and speechlessness for when I think I shave a good grasp on what the actual offense is. You know - like most or all of the facts? Question - What might a helium atom (1 nucleus, 2 electrons) look like if the proton and the electron exchanged masses? That is, if the electron has a mass of 1 amu and the proton a mass of 0.000549 amu. [Think back to Thomson's atom].

YES - you and DanG gave nailed the 'serious' answer to my tongue in cheek question. 3 strikes is stupid. We need to sentence each crime adequately. (unfortunately, that might still result in additional overcrowding, but the philosophy of what you both noted is sound). any law that 'sounds' good because of the sports analogy should be questioned for lack of validity ...

DanG 1 #49 May 10, 2016 I propose the Slam Dunk Law. Anyone caught stealing items which, when stacked up, are higher than a regulation basketball hoop should be sentenced to life in prison. This would be an amendment to by First Down Law, which states that anyone who can throw his stolen goods more than ten yards will be found not guilty. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
