    Originally posted by BummyMofo Yeah that multi level marketing and pyramid scheme investment bullshit is everywhere right now. Every one is trying to scam, scam, scam

    This fucking guy is trying to tell me that pyramid schemes and multi level marketing are different things. Maybe on a technical level, but on the same ballpark.

    It pisses me off because this guy means well, has a big family, and he does work hard. He just thinks he can work a full-time job and earn real money from super easy shit. Working for yourself is harder, not easier. But it is more rewarding.

    Originally posted by Speedy Parker That would be a treaty violation not a war crime.

    I'll concede that, but then there's the 1907 Hague convention. At what point do things become war crimes to you?

    I'm done talking to DaddyIssues. She's incoherent, can't spell, can't use the quote feature properly, makes 5 posts when one will do, hasn't responded to a single point I've made, etc etc. It's like paying chess with a bonobo - it's just painful. Technologist should be ashamed of herself by setting up her mentally challenged friend in place of herself.

    Obbe put some real fucking work in, and I only have so much time, so he is number one now. Sorry for leaving you hanging Obbe, work etc. Might even start a new thread quoting your post, this one is going to the dogs.

    You live right next door to Belarus, why not drive down for a visit.

    Originally posted by Speedy Parker There was an an agreement made by opposing sides to stop fighting for a certain time called an armistice. The war didn't end until the treaty was signed.

    So the first world war ended in 1919? Fascinating. There's a lot of monuments in a lot of countries that are going to need modification. In-fact practically all of them. Even the first sentence of the WWI article on wikipedia get's this wrong, but you know what they're like. But shit, encyclopaedia brittanica even fucked it up.

    Originally posted by Speedy Parker P.S. A naval blockade of shipping lanes in a time of war is not a war crime.

    The way it was conducted was in direct violation of the Paris Declaration Respecting Maritime law, 1856.

    Article 1. A blockade must not extend beyond the ports and coasts belonging to or occupied by the enemy.

    What's your skills? What do you want to do?

    Some guy I knew just tried to tell me about multi level marketing the other day. Motherfuck... it pissed me off.

    Originally posted by Daddyissues I'm not going to quote each response as you did like its a separate issue because at the end of the day… its not.

    Why aren't we the same? Because of the systemic racism… that's why.

    But that logic doesn't scale, does it?

    Japanese aren't the same as white Americans either. Unless you think that's systematic racism.

    Originally posted by Daddyissues You answered the entire question to your thread in one response.

    The fact that YOU are separating us still in your responses soeaks to this very issue.

    There's no other way to discuss the question.

    Originally posted by Daddyissues Why aren't blacks represented the sane as whites?

    Tell me in Lehman terms.

    One reason is because they don't - as an aggregate - behave the same.

    Yeah probably, he's the only one I really follow.

    No one gets rich by smoking weed all day and not working though. Even vidya requires more work than that.

    It's worth noting that the Allied blockade of Germany - which was a war crime that caused high civilian due to "excess morality" (read: starvation) went on for some 7 months after the war ended. This very much weakened their resolve at Versailles.

    We are holding all our means of coercion in full operation or in immediate readiness for use. We are enforcing the blockade with vigor. We have strong armies ready to advance at the shortest notice. Germany is very near starvation. The evidence I have received from the officers sent by the War Office all over Germany shows first of all, the great privations which the German people are suffering, and secondly, the great danger of a collapse of the entire structure of German social and national life under the pressure of hunger and malnutrition. Now is therefore the moment to settle.

    For some reason I just take his word for it.

    I mean, it would be the weirdest thing to lie about.

    I think he even mentioned before he wasn't chinese, just a fan.

    Originally posted by Daddyissues This isn't broad at all if you can exponentially say that blacks are not represented the same as white people.

    Not now, not then, not ever. Regardless of history, is this not systemic to you?

    This is years and years of constant systematic and macro agression aggression towards the black community.

    I suppose I don't understand why the fact that two different groups aren't represented the same points to racism. If two things are different it would be odd to expect the same narratives around them. Are the narratives about jedis and whites the same?

    Originally posted by Daddyissues Just think for a minute, (this is truly hard because we have never been oppressed as a white community), if our people as a whole were portrayed by the media and society as criminals and "less than".


    Whites or portrayed not only by media, but also the education system, as the villains of world history. Everything bad is our fault, and we must atone for our sins the way no other ethnic group is expected to.

    I think blacks get off comparatively lightly with their media portrayal, which over emphasizes white on black violence (ie, George Floyd) while de-emphasizing black on white violence (about as common numerically, despite the much smaller number of black americans in total).

    Originally posted by Daddyissues Which we can agree that the black community has this stigma and has for their entire lives. Correct?

    I agree. But looking at the crime rates - is it really whiteys fault they have some bad press?

    AFAIK Pewdiepie barely does any drugs, just a bit of alcohol now and then.

    He's quite wholesome really.

    Vinny isn't actually chinese. He just really loves communist china. It's odd. I think he might be Indian? but a self-hating indian.

    Oy vey!

    Is that due to systematic racism against non-jedi people?


    Hmm...

    Originally posted by Daddyissues Im thanking this because you replied with a great question.

    Do you know the question you even asked? Do you understand what it means?

    You asked "represented where"?

    Represented everywhere. Represented as the white community is. In every concept. Not just represented when they are arrested or in the news for bad behavior. Are they represented the same as white people. Do you see them the same? Do you see black people as a productive member of society?

    Yes or no?

    This is very broad, can we narrow it down to say, represented in the press?

    No I do not think black people are represented the same as white people on the press.

    A lot of black people are productive members of society. It does seem evident to me that anti-social behaviour is worse - as an aggregate - amongst black people. Again, crime statistics seem to support this view.

    While I acknowledge trends in aggregates, individuals must be treated as individuals. I am interested in being around civilized people, and it doesn't really matter what race they are.

    Originally posted by Daddyissues Let me ask you this rabbitweed, you racist fuck.

    There really is no reason to swear.

    Originally posted by Daddyissues Do you honestly believe in your heart of hearts that black people have been represented in the same way that white people have… let's just say for the last 10 years.

    Represented where? This is a very abstract term.

    Whenever someone says they can do a lot of pushups and shows me, they almost always have terrible form.

    Usually they let their head hang down, so it approaches the floor faster, so they trick themselves into believing "that's a rep!" with minimal movement because their head approaches the floor so damn quickly.

    So, videos or your numbers are bullshit.
  18. rabbitweed African Astronaut
    I don't believe in racial violence. I am quite possibly the least racist person on this site, since I'm not a self-hating whitey either.
